Beware! That fake vet can kill your dear cow

“Greetings daktari. I kindly need your advice about my cow diagnosed with mastitis a few weeks ago. It was treated using antibiotics and then later after one week he (the quack vet) said it had pneumonia but since then things have never been the same again. The milk production dropped from 18 litres per day to less than a litre. When I told him he injected the cow with Oxytocin to aid in milk let down, he said it was affected by the antibiotics which he used when treating mastitis... I am confused.” Poline Njeri

Njeri’s case points to troubles unsuspecting farmers go through under the hands of quack vets. A quack is an imposter who is not qualified to treat animals but they actually masquerading as vets.
