Being part of Gård & Djurhälsan FÅR does not only mean that you have access to experienced sheep veterinarians. You also have access to good diagnostic packages, including autopsies. Autopsies are an important and often necessary tool for diagnosis if you have disease problems in your herd. It is also an important part of disease surveillance in the country. Therefore, the Swedish Board of Agriculture has a special grant for farm animals that subsidizes a large part of the actual autopsy cost, and the animal owner normally pays only a small animal owner's fee. This fee is paid by Gård & Djurhälsan when you are a member. The referral is important to get a diagnosis But in order for you as an animal owner to be able to use the autopsy grant, the animal must be referred by a veterinarian. So always contact Gård & Djurhälsan FÅR or your veterinarian if you are considering an autopsy. That an animal has a veterinary referral is very important, because the referral describes the medical history, type of herd, possibly. clinical diagnosis, treatment and questioning, etc., which are important tasks that make it easier for the autopsy to arrive at a diagnosis. Without a referral, you risk being left without an autopsy Tyvärr slarvas det ibland med remissen. För laboratorierna innebär det att de får mycket sämre förutsättningar för att göra ett bra jobb. Från 1 april i år riskerar du därför, i de fall djuret inkommer utan veterinär remiss och där informationen om djuret därigenom är ofullständig, att det endast blir en enklare obduktion (kadaveröppning) där obducenten bara gör en makroskopisk bedömning av inre organ. Du kommer få ett svar från laboratoriet med den information kadaveröppningen gav, plus att laboratoriet i en kommentar informerar om att vidare undersökningar inte har utförts eftersom djuret inte var remitterat av veterinär. Använd vår hemsida så blir det lätt att göra rätt! Do not hesitate to call Gård & Djurhälsan FÅR when you want to send an animal for an autopsy.
