Happy to be back at the school farm with this lot...
We've been to the school farm so many times now that we know the drill and work really well together. We started off with clinical examination of calves doing TPR, taking swabs of nasal discharge or diarrhea if required, then going along and giving Triavit vitamin injections.
We spotted one calf which had an umbilical hernia so we flushed that with Betadine to disinfect it and it will be coming back to the university Ruminants clinic for surgery.
Another calf had a poo-ball (like chickens get on their feet) which had dried and stuck to it's tail so we soaked that in warm water to try and soak it off, took a while but the boys eventually got it off and left a bit of a sore so we cleaned that up too.
