Large Animal Practice

Happy new year!

Show us what you’ve got. If you can find a better cattle working device we’ll buy donuts the next time we are there for cattle work! Post pictures of yourself or your children with said instrument in order to win. PS instrument must be used when vet arrives as well. Picture was taken by another vet at one of her appointments.

Photo courtesy of Dr. Renee Dewell from a Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) course. This was taken 14 days post banamine injection in the neck. The pathology should be a reminder that banamine is absolutely not allowed or recommended to be injected intramuscularly in animals (ruminants or horses). It is both extremely painful and causes economic losses on the harvest floor. Not only is the lesion trimmed, but the loss of tenderness and palatability extends for several inches past the visible lesion!

Some interesting information about anaplasmosis in cattle including a new vaccine in the works.
