Lameness

Our vehicles are fully equipped with leg lifting ropes and hoof trimming tools for treating individual lame cows. Foot trimming is safest and best conducted with the cow in a crush. For large bulls and properties without a crush, the option of foot trimming under heavy sedation can be discussed with our vets.

Herd lameness investigations can be undertaken which includes lesion identification, data analysis and property risk factor identification. The resulting information and advice are compiled into a report.

Foot trimming of sheep and goats can be done by the ambulatory service or at the hospital.
