Fair season has arrived! 🎪 I met this adorable little babydoll Southdown this morning, but also had to disqualify four lambs for ringworm. 🔴 Also know as club lamb fungus, ringworm is a public health concern for both people & other animals. 🐑 Vets don’t want to ruin kids’ fair experience so that means checking your animal prior to leaving the home farm for areas of wool loss, crusting, thickened skin, & weeping crusts. 🩸 Talk to your vet about treatment & get them cleared up before the next show.

We’ve been busy driving around to see animals preparing for shows & fairs these last couple weeks! 🎟️ Be familiar with your show & fair regulations & leave any animals with signs of disease at home! 😷 Sick animals may be a risk to other animals or even people! 😬

I’ve had a run of broken bones over the last few weeks! 🦴 When identified quickly & stabilized by a veterinarian, most limb fractures have an excellent prognosis! 👍🏻 Ruminants are amazing in their healing abilities, but do not attempt to stabilize them at home, as inadequate support can make them much worse & cause the animal more pain. 🐑

It’s World Veterinary Day so here’s a throwback to morning goat milking a few weeks ago. 🐐 Being a vet is not just about diagnosing & treating disease, but also husbandry, public health, education, problem solving, & lifelong learning. 👩🎓 So proud to be part of this profession!
