She had NSAIDs and antibiotics (she had only partially cleansed + was very dirty). I sutured her in with halstead technique. She was pushing the whole time + I can’t help feeling I was doing something wrong. I’d love to know what peoples procedures are for vaginal prolapses? 2/2

Hi all, I’m hoping to pick some brains… I just visited a 2nd parity cow, 4 days post calving with a vaginal prolapse. Replacing took almost 2 hours, even after a lidocaine epidural, and IM sedation (xylazine). I had cold water on her the whole time and lots of lube THREAD 1/2

Sometimes in mixed vet work I feel like I’m falling behind my farm only peers, but today has really helped my confidence I did my first solo farm surgery, and my first ever full c-section! She was up and drinking right away, and was very calm beneath my slightly shaky hands 😅

First lambing as a qualified vet! Two breaches to a first time mum, who’s doing really well! 🐑 🐑 💜

Merry Christmas Eve on call…second call out of the weekend to a lovely new client of ours (shame about the circumstances). Here’s to the festive season stopping nothing! 🎄🐄

Hello all, I’m putting together a farmer facing talk on pneumonia - does anyone know of any grants available at the moment that could help with shed design / ventilation / management / etc? I’m going a bit loopy trying to search for them!

Heading down to my first @theBCVA congress tomorrow! Looking forward to the calf pneumonia and #WeanClean talks in prep for my first farmer meeting on tackling beef pneumonia in November!

Sheep people! Can anyone wiser than me able to explain the best way to strip graze 4 fields (with various parasite burdens) for the coming year? Or point me to a resource? None of the fields have been rested, + we’re fairly certain the housing is burdened too! Thanks in advance!

First day at work (in 30•c heat!) means getting an ice cream on the way back from a clear TB test Almost makes up for having to wear waterproofs in this weather!

Officially Dr Jessica Oxborrow, BVM BVS, BvMedsci, MRCVS Very grateful for all the friends and family that have helped me through the past 5 years - and of course all the staff at Nottingham Vet School. Here’s to the future 🎓🥂

So grateful to be graduating with my closest friends 🥰 proud doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about these amazing people! They’re fantastic friends, and the veterinary profession is super lucky to have them all!

Unbelievably happy doesn’t even cover it 🤩 I passed my 5th year exams today; which makes me a vet! Here’s a comparison of me in first year Vs my final day of rotations - not much has changed but my brain sure is fuller 😂🥹

Friday marked the end of my 5 years at vet school (only finals left now!) I’ve spent the last few days celebrating with friends, and going camping in the Lake District by myself. It’s nice to take a moment of calm before the storm, just to remind myself of how good life can be.

A week of Night Shifts at Pride Referrals over - part of my last couple of small animal final year rotations! An interesting week of nights - forever grateful that I was placed in the same rotation group as my housemate (and best friend!) 🥰

A day of llamas, alpacas and dairy calves to round off my final farm placement of 5th year! Had so much fun these past two weeks and can’t thank the staff at Tyndale Vets enough!

Kits, kits and more kits! Why I don’t mind getting the “student jobs” on placement: 1. There’s always something to learn from any job you’re doing 2. You’re helping out a busy team who would’ve had to do it otherwise 3. It keeps you busy! I personally like to keep moving

Scrubbed in and closed for the vet during an LDA today…today was a good day! I’m such a practical learner, so I’m super grateful to the vets who (quite literally) let me get my hands dirty!
