🌈 ☂️ 🌈 Wellbeing Week 🌈 ☂️ 🌈

This week we’re shining a light on Wellbeing Week- an important reminder of how vital it is to care for ourselves and each other, both in the Veterinary industry and in our wider community 💜

Working in animal care is one of the most rewarding careers, but it can also be emotionally demanding. From long days, to the compassion we pour into every patient- looking after our own wellbeing ensures we can continue to give our best care to your pets 🐾

We encourage everyone to take a moment this week to check in on yourself and those around you. Whether it’s a walk outside, sharing a coffee with a friend, or simply taking a deep breath. Small acts of self care make a big difference 🌞

This week is such a beautiful reminder to look after ourselves, just as much as we look after the animals we love 💕

Together, let’s continue to build on the kind, supportive and caring community we are so proud to be a part of 🪴💕🐾☀️🫖🌈

🐍⚠️Snake Season is here! ⚠️🐍�
The warm weather means snakes are on the move and we’re already seeing an increase in snake bite cases. It's important to know what to do if your pet encounters a snake!

If your dog or cat is bitten or you see a snake in the yard:
✅ Keep them calm + still
✅ Get to the clinic immediately
✅ Do not wait for signs
✅ Do not drive past your closest vet clinic
✅ Do not try to catch/kill the snake
✅ Call us on the way so we’re ready for you!

Signs of snakebite may include
🚨 Sudden weakness
🚨 Vomiting
🚨 Trembling
🚨 Loss of bladder/bowel control
🚨 Difficulty breathing.
(Sometimes symptoms are delayed!)

Treat every snake encounter as an emergency and keep your pets safe this season 🐾

These dedicated professionals are the heart of our clinic — providing compassionate, expert care to your beloved pets and invaluable support to our Veterinarians. From early mornings to unpredictable emergencies, their commitment never wavers.

Last week was a whirlwind of surgeries and patient care, so we didn’t get a chance to pause and celebrate. But today, we made sure to take that moment!

A huge thank you to our amazing Nursing team — and to all Veterinary Nurses out there — for the vital role you play in animal care. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💐👩🏻‍⚕️🐾

And a very special thank you to The Cupcake & Cake Lady for the spectacular cupcakes!!!🧁 🩷

🏥 🩺 Meet Knox 🐶

This week , we treated brave little Knox who came in distressed and unable to swallow or breathe properly. After a thorough examination, we found a 4.5 cm bone lodged in his larynx😟

Thankfully, we were able to remove the bone without surgery! A huge relief for both Knox and his family. However, most cases like this aren't so easy. Bones can cause serious complications and often require emergency surgery to remove.

⚠️ Whether raw or cooked, bones pose real risks to our pets including:
🦴 Choking or airway blockage
🦷 Tooth fractures
🚨 Internal injuries or tears
‼️ Life-threatening obstructions

If you're ever unsure about what treats or chews are safe, don't hesitate to give us a call. Your pet’s safety is always our top priority💙

🐶❤️ Important Update for Pet Owners! ❤️🐶

We've seen an alarming increase in heartworm cases in dogs at our clinic recently.

👉 What is Heartworm Disease?�Heartworms are parasitic worms spread by mosquitoes. They live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of infected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and can be fatal if left untreated. Infection is often invisible in its early stages.

👉 Prevention is Key!�The good news? Heartworm disease is completely preventable. A simple monthly medication or yearly injection can protect your pet year-round.

⚠️ 50% of the heartworm cases we have diagnosed have been on monthly prevention. Missing even one dose / being late with administration can put your pet at risk ⚠️

👉 whilst infected dogs can be treated, Treatment is expensive, intensive, and risky compared to easy prevention

👉Even indoor dogs are at risk….mosquitoes can and do get inside.

Cats are much less likely to be infected

✅ What You Can Do:
• Keep your dog on consistent year-round heartworm prevention.

📞 Call us today on 65437111 and ask our staff about the best prevention option for your pet. (A blood test may be necessary before prevention is started)
