Dave recently spoke to the Walpole and District Pony Club whilst they were on their annual summer camp. They enjoyed a talk on wounds and a chance to practise their bandaging skills! They were great listeners and had applied some brilliant bandages with help from Dave 😊

Lottie was recently visited for treatment of diastema (the technical term for gaps between two teeth). These gaps can trap food leading to pain and infectio. Lottie’s treatment involved the gaps being flushed (to remove rotten food) and widened which stops future food becoming trapped. This was conducted using a portable oroscope to visualise the procedure!

This lovely Gurnsey cow calved this week, but can you spot what makes her different?

She only has one eye! A few months ago Toby removed her right eye following an injury and she made a full recovery 😊

A few people asked what was happening in this photo?

This is a “sand test,” a simple way of telling if sand is present in your horse’s poo and therefore being eaten,( although unable to quantify how much has been ingested)!

You can conduct this test yourself:
1. In a glove break up a nugget of poo
2. Add 500-1000ml of tap water
3. Leave to settle for 10-15 mins
4. Feel for hard grains of sand in the fingertips of the glove

If you would like a long glove to carry out the test please feel free to ask for one at reception at the clinic! 🧤 Alternatively you can ask for this test to be carried out when you drop in a faecal sample for worm egg counting 🪱
