We are required by the NSW Vet Surgeon’s Board to maintain a bona fide relationship with our clients in the form of an S4 inspection. This means we need to examine some of your livestock or have visited your farm every two years, to lawfully dispense S4 prescription medications (eg. antibiotics for foot abscess, antibiotic pink eye medications or ram sedation).
If we have not been to your property in the last 2 years for a large animal visit, then to help us maintain our compliance, we are again offering S4 Runs. These visits are subsidised and will give you the opportunity to meet our vets on your farm. You can discuss issues such as livestock health, vaccination programs or analgesia for animal husbandry procedures. Please have some livestock yarded for our vets to briefly examine.
If you have registered and are included in our S4 runs there will be no travel charge.
One off S4 Runs outside this campaign will be charged at standard rates (Brief visit plus travel).
S4 Runs apply to livestock only (cattle, sheep, goats and alpacas) and do not apply to horses, dogs and cats.
Should you wish to obtain prescription drugs for your livestock, and they have not physically been seen by a veterinarian within the previous two years, our veterinarians will not be able to dispense any prescription medications.
We would like to remind our clients that 24 hours notice is required for dispensing any prescription medication.
