Post Pandemic Practices
The global coronavirus pandemic has raised everyone's awareness of infectious and contagious diseases. We see a lot of people during the course of a week, so we will do our best to protect you, and we ask for the same courtesy in return. We will typically wear a mask if we are coming into your home. For an outdoor appointment, we don't require masks. Client mask use is at their discretion. We do however ask that if you or someone you've been exposed to is sick with COVID, the Flu, or a cold, to let us know and to give us appropriate space.
If you have any questions regarding these protocols or any others that we have in place please don't hesitate to reach out (860) 420-5002. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Green Valley Veterinary Services, LLC specializes in providing high-quality care for all farm animal species from chickens to draft horses and everything in between. We routinely treat dairy and beef cattle, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, horses, pigs, chickens, and ducks.
Caring for your animals is of the utmost importance to our team, so if you have questions or need advice on preventative care, vaccinations, housing design, and more, don’t hesitate to ask!

Trigger warning, large glob of pus 🤢
Reminder that your pet small ruminants are susceptible to rabies. This week has not fun for us, the owner, or the sheep. There is a safe and effective vaccine available.
We have a few patients who would be equally offended.
These little fluff balls were just enjoying their day in the snow, until mean Dr Thibeault showed up with needles and vaccines!
The turkey says “thanks for coming to help my horse friend today Doc.” I am thankful for my great clients and the amazing people who make up Team Green Valley. Dr T

We would love to see some fun animal costumes
Party like Penelope on her first birthday 🎂🥳
Nice day for a drive with a 27 year old Haflinger 😊🍁
This poor girl was grabbed right by the throat. Teamwork made the dream work. She is doing ok.
Lynne to client: “Do you remember which vet you saw last time?”
Client: “The old guy.”😳👨🏻🦳 ouch!
He was less than thrilled with the service today. 😝👅
This hen's toe bean went all the way through the webbing. Maybe she was prepping herself for a cool gauge. 👂
I don’t think these guys enjoyed their castration party. ✂️⚾️🏀
Visual reminder to not stick your nose where it does not belong 💩😳
Teamwork makes the dream work. UConn pre-vet, LIU 4th year vet student, and seasoned veteran 👨🏻🦳. Taking some blood from a cute chunky pig 🐷
Make sure latches are secure to keep your barn yard friends out of trouble.
Horses are always trying to find a way to hurt themselves. This is how Dr. Thibeault spent his Sunday evening
Head wound, 5 months later
One of the highlights of the day 🐶
This heifer was happy to meet my assistant today. Her brother, not so much! ✂️⚾️⚾️

Horse got scalped. Had to get past the guard geese to do our jobs.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in Green Valley style, with dropping balls. 😵😵💫🎉🎊

It’s been a while since we posted a nice abscess 😁
Foot through the fence. Third emergency of the day. 🚑
Sunday adventures 🐮

Bad day for him, happy day for the cows. 😁
Highly recommend. You can see her full selection of books, including books about autism, at grandin.com
Another great long weekend of learning in Portland Maine. I got to learn about animal behavior and livestock facility design from the legendary Temple Grandin. Had a day of updates on equine medical issues, including colic and lameness, from the team at Myhre Equine Clinic. Wrapped it up with a review of small ruminant medicine with Dr Dusty Nagy.
One of these beautiful boys got some drugs to get his feet trimmed 🤪😵💫
Roostie went home today! His comb will eventually remodel.
Manuka honey patch on her shoulder wound. Groovy t-shirt to keep it protected. ☮️❤️
Roosty got attacked by a raccoon when he was trying to save his hen. He was gone for 3 days then made his way back home. Swipe left for swarming maggot video 😁🪰
Country life. The guy who left the gate open was scrambling. Please don’t drive through cows in the road. Yes of course we got out to help.
They will never forget the first day they stuck their arm up a cows rear end #vetlife #msuvets #prevets
Not one of our usual patients. Oh so cool. She was not as excited as we were 🦉
Teamwork made the dream work today. Drs Thibeault and Johnson and Abby worked together to get a calf out of this momma today. It was stillborn so not a completely happy ending, but the cow should be ok.
Administered rabies vaccine via blowdart to him and his friend. 🐂
Boss Level goat wrangling. These 2 goats are very skittish. Thank you Abby 💪🏻
We don’t work on exotic birds, farm birds only, but this guy was fun to play with.
This plug of wax and pus came out of a goat’s __? 🐐
A nice juicy hoof abscess. The horse felt a lot better with the pressure relieved.
Truth! 😊🐮

Our fun for the day, fecal transfer in a horse for chronic diarrhea.
Talked with some 7th and 8th grade kids today about a career in veterinary medicine. Hard to go wrong with videos of pig wrestling and a juicy cow abscess.
Too cute for words 😊🐽
Friday fun. He needed his foot checked but wouldn’t leave the stream, so that’s where he got treated. Found a satisfying juicy abscess.
Great way to end a pig day in Rhode Island, with these adorable munchkins. 🐽🐽
Maggie came back, feeling better and showing off her new shoes! It’s Friday night and she’s ready to party. 💃🥂
“Hey Mom, I appreciate you took me to see Dr Thibeault to care for my wounds, but could we please go home now?”
When in Maine, you get a burger with lobster 🦞
Social distancing guidelines, vet conference style. Dr Thibeault getting some updates on Ophthalmology and Equine Lameness in Portland Maine
Glad it was the 1,200 lb cows i was there to see and not have to deal with this angry mob.
She strikes a pose like Madonna but her name is Lady Gaga.
Butch, our Head of Security, is not exactly celebrating National Dog Day. He seems to be feeling the Dog Days of Summer. ☀️🔥
A puppy smile to brighten your day. 🐶
Handsome Labrador because Labs are great, and some people may not want to see swarming maggots. Swipe left to see disgusting maggot video. 🤢
This ram is now on his way to becoming a better citizen. 🚫⚽️🏀⚾️🎾🏐🎱🚫😱
The good stuff!
Where did this pile of debris come from?
Happier than a pig in... snow?

What does my annual appointment entail?
In the next few weeks we will be covering the common things that our doctors evaluate in annual appointments for each species. We want this to be educational and recognize that not everyone has experience with all the species that we treat. Please feel free to ask lots of questions along the way!
This is an udder disaster 🐐
This little piggy isn’t going to market, it is however crying wee wee wee as Dr T administers fluids and meds. 🐷
We hope you all have cuddle buddies for this winter weather that’s coming!
Do you give your pets any treats for the holidays? This is Alex’s dog, Fred, and he always gets a new toy and a big bone!
Extracted a rotten incisor on this older horse today.
Does anyone know what kind of tooth this is and why we pull them from our equine friends?
Life on the road as a mobile vet. Have to feed the kid. 🙂
Who has animals enjoying the snow today?
While on farm for another pig, we “caught” a look at this. Never a dull moment.
