Our vet Dr Richardson came over today and examined K2's Joni who is currently in the farm quarantine. Dr Richardson drew blood to run a BVDV test and to make sure our new arrival is totally healthy.
She isn't enjoying being in a "private room" as much as you might imagine and is clearly very keen to get back in with the herd. Who can blame her.

While Dr Richardson was here she and her assistant helped me wrap our latest cria as he has a very slight hernia. Its a small point but I had been using Vet Wrap around his abdomen . Vet Wrap sticks to itself very easily but not to fibre so slips around the animals waist in no time at all. What I have discovered is that Elastikon which is adhesive is the way to go as this sticks to the fibre and doesn't move around. The down side is that it will be a pain to remove and may well leave some slight traces of glue on the fibre.
