Not yet, but thanks for the warning. As you say, clinical notes need to be very carefully worded if this is the case.
hi Lindsay, only just catching up with messages as my app has been misbehaving. we’ve definitely started having problems with insurance companies – I now always warn owners before any score that if only grade 1 ulcers found they won’t be covered. we’ve also found where an ulcer claim is open and still has time / money left they will not pay for…[Read more]

has anyone used myco b vaccine yet? any thoughts as to efficacy? how have you been dosing? 1 jab at dry off, then jab the calf at weaning? if so, did you jab all the adult cows initially to prevent clinical cases in adults? if yes, how long did you wait before giving the drying off boosters?
TIA
hi Sophie, I’ve messaged a few members today and looks like you might be leading the way with this vaccine, no one else using as yet! We have a couple more members we’ve yet to speak to, hopefully have an answer by the end of the week! All the best, Sarah

A reminder about the Bristol Vet School careers day on Friday 4th Feb 2022. If you’re thinking of taking on a new grad or EMS student next year, please make sure you get job / placement details to me by early Jan. I’ve also made a note to ask about the interview process for new students!

hi all, we’re thinking of buying a new gastroscope so had a snoop around at London vet show but wondered if anyone has any recommendations? I’ve heard of a few issues with certain ones being unreliable and not switching on properly which is not what you want having starved a horse for 16 hours! thanks, Kate
we use Paul Duncan VESCO for scopes. bought a new one recently – make sure you ask re loan scope availability – we now have one with a decent pool of loan scopes- scopes are v temperamental creatures

Hi Everyone, can any of you recommend a second hand supplier for equipment please? Thank you, Bori
Hi Bori, hope you’re keeping well. One of the other relationship managers asked if you’d tried eBay? Not somewhere I would have thought of looking, but might be worth a go… Sarah
