The Adventures of a Vet at Home and Abroad

Friday, August 25, 2006

This won case of the day – Alexandra farms called in for a cow with a swollen bum. It turned out to be an allergic reaction (potentially to an insect bite) on her hoo-hah – OUCH!!!

Here’s a mob (group of cows) heading back to the paddocks after milking.

Here’s Jess examining a cow post-calving (she’s bare-arming it). We have been deluged a number of calls for uterine torsions. Jess & I have become adept at diagnosing torsions (as well as, determining the direction), rolling cows and using our strong backs to help deliver the calves.
