🚗🐾 Watch Out for Echidnas on the Road!🦔

Echidnas breed from June to September and during this time the males create something called a ‘train’. This consists of a line of males following the females’ tracks.
Female echidnas have can have up to 50 hectares of territory which means a lot of land with the potential of man-made things in the way… such as roads!!
Even though breeding season is almost over, our spiky friends are still out and about!
Echidnas are slow movers and they’re often hard to spot. If you see one please slow down and give them space to cross safely!
This little guy was hit by a car and bought into our care. A small fracture was discovered in his beak, which can often be fatal for these guys. Fortunately, thanks to the care of Dr. Elizabeth, PINP and fellow Wildlife Rescues, this little guy is on the mend and making an incredible recovery.

GAPONLY

Only pay the gap, on the spot
Did you know we offer GapOnly® at Cowes Veterinary Surgery?
GapOnly® is a payment service that works with selected pet insurance brands, so you can access your pet insurance benefit right away for eligible expenses.
That means, rather than paying us the full invoice upfront and waiting days to be reimbursed, we submit your claim on the spot, on your behalf, while you’re at our clinic.
Your claim is generally assessed within 10 minutes, and if approved, you just pay us the gap – the amount not covered by your pet insurance policy.
If you have any questions about this service, please don’t hesitate to give one our friendly staff a call.
