I'm Kaz, a young farm vet working in Northumberland (but now on sabbatical in New Zealand!), which is in the North East corner of England. I grew up in the city and found myself doing this job by a very happy coincidence.
This channel is an attempt to show my friends, family, and anyone else who cares, what I do on a day-to-day basis. If you have an interest in veterinary medicine, farming, food or the countryside, join me for the ride.

*wince* I'm a retired chef and these days quite sensible about safety and love my protective gear because I've got the scars that taught me. However I'm currently drying out a wound on my wrist that I think is going to look a lot like yours. All because of some teenage goats, an exuberant pup and an overhanging piece of corrugated iron I never quite found the time to deal with - so to everyone reading these stop procrastinating about those little repairs :P

Uh oh hopefully you got some stitches into yours 😅

Grandad's advise was never put anything in front of a blade that you don't intend to cut. I can't claim to have always followed it but it has stopped me doing a few stupid things over the years.

Sage advice… I have heard similar but less PC advice too 😁

[@kate113]

I always meant to ask about that scar on your arm 😊

[@tadhgpheaitwillie]

Ooh, you did a right job on yourself with the hoof knife! I'm surprised you didn't put a few sutures in it yourself! ;)

[@farmvetfilms]

There’s always next time!

I am just amazed A&E didn’t stitch a wound like that. Next time get a colleague to do the job. Animals are so much better than humans at healing by (can’t remember the word) growing new skin around the wound until it closes. I had many successes at healing sheep wounds from dog worrying, but it involved daily care in the shed, spraying the open wound with saline and dressing;to keep away flies. I doubt if most farmers would have the time, but at least I avoided a carcass collection fee.

24 hours later, just remembered, granulation.
