This lovely cockatiel has gone missing from his family who are holidaying in Gloucester! He is very friendly, very talkative and very missed 😢

Let us know if you happen to see him around so we can reunite them and they can (hopefully) head home today 🦜

Sun is (sort of out), sausages are sizzling, churros and cupcakes are sweettttt!!

Ted’s been on the surgery table all morning, and even though we’ve got plenty of choccies out there’s still some that we need to get out 🙈

Betsy’s calf is being delivered 🐮 we’ve got goats and calves and rabbits to cuddle 🥰

Hospital Update 👩‍⚕️

Name: Betsy Barrel 🐮

Breed: Holstein

Presenting complaint: Betsy is due to calve TOMORROW, we have just done our last night checks (by torch light) and she is progressing well. Starting to dilate normally. The calf appears to be alive, but we are worried that it is coming in breech position and she will need assistance… we will keep her hospitalised overnight and will be intervening from 10am if she hasn’t progressed any further 🤞we get some strong calf pullers to help Betsy out tomorrow 💪🤠

🧸🤕

Hospital update 👩‍⚕️

Name: Ted 🧸

Breed: Domestic short haired Bear

Presenting complaint: Ted are a WHOLE bag of Freddo’s and Jelly Beans this afternoon, he has been stabilised and hospitalised but if he doesn’t pass them overnight (which is unlikely) he WILL need surgery tomorrow 🔪

We need the help of all the budding surgeons we can get to help explore Teddy’s abdomen and make him better tomorrow! ( We are very confident the wrapping will stand up to Teddies stomach acid and you will get a tasty treat for your efforts 🙈)

Happy world Vet Day to these amazing ladies 💪💃⭐️

Rural Mixed Practice is one of the more challenging fields in the Veterinary World- with our Vets having to be experts in literally ALL creatures great and small! There can be very long days, with long drives, there can be tiny little kittens and great whopping bulls! There can be endless phone calls and surgeries to scrub in for, but our ladies always give it their all, with smiles on their faces, never ending curiosity, great senses of humour and endless compassion 💫

We are so blessed to have an amazing team of Vets in Clare, Alex, Emma, Robin and Ashleigh, thank you ladies, for all that you do 💛

Thanks so much to Tyson from The Vet Nurse Project for conducting a super interesting and engaging training session for our whole team last week! We love learning and making sure we are constantly striving to improve how we look after your babies 😎 🤩 🐾

We have a stray pug who was found at Jacks road and a Mini Foxi/ terrier who was found along Sheddon Close both feeling very lost and a bit sad and sorry for themselves 🐾🐾

We have had a white and grey, female lost dog brought in from Barrington. Please contact us if you have any information 🐾🐾

Can you believe we have been in our new clinic for 12 months already 🤩🤩

We would love to invite you all along to help us celebrate with an open day and paw-ty on the 4th May!! 🎈

There will be plenty of interactive displays for the whole family, giveaways, prizes, a petting farm, face painting, BBQ and coffee!

We are very excited to show off our amazing facilities and celebrate with you all!! 🎉😍🐾

Please keep an eye out for turtles on the road with this wet weather that’s forcast over the next few days! We’ve already noticed a lot out!!

Turtles shells are made of bone and have same blood and nerve supply as any other bone or tissue in their (or our body) so damage to them, especially breaks, are very painful!

If you find a turtle, pop them in a box with a moistened towel, pop them in a calm, dark spot and let us know. We can assess and treat them and hopefully get them back out in the wild as soon as it’s safe to do so 💚

Two very friendly, unmicrochipped, lady dogs have been found hanging around at Cobark Lookout in the Barrington Tops, we have them here but they would love to be reunited with their families 🐾🐶

It’s the end of an era for many cat owners with Ashleigh vaccinating the last litter of kittens for Marsia from Avon Cattery this morning 😿🩵

We have loved getting to play with Marsia’s kittens and cats over the last 20years +, they are always so beautiful, well kept and so well natured!

Thankfully we will still get to see a number of her cats that are sprinkled through the region in their forever homes 😻 We wish Marsia well with this next stage of her life and would like to thank her for her dedication to the cats she has bred in her time 🩵🐾

In the animal kingdom the woman is a force to be reckoned with- she’s strong, she’s tenacious, she’s intuitive, she’s the mover and shaker. She’s empathetic, she’s resourceful and she’s beautiful inside and out. She’s empowering, she’s intelligent and she’s determined and it’s no different here at Gloucester Vets ✨ I’m beyond proud of our ladies and what we achieve everyday 💛

Happy international women’s day to all💪🏼💃🏽

(Also thanks for the women and for our morning tea 😍)

We are so excited to now be able to offer PORTABLE LARGE ANIMAL RADIOGRAPHY SERVICES 💪🏼🦴🐴

Emma had the opportunity to test her new X-ray machine out on ‘Chad’ who was the perfect patient 🐴⭐️

We were thrilled with the images and how easy it was to use! It really will allow us to be able to fully work up a whole extra spectrum of large animal cases, especially all things lameness! So let us know if you have a troublesome pony as Emma is very keen to X-ray all of the horses (and donkeys, cows and goats) she can! 🐎

Here’s Emma Swilks of Gloucester District Vets taking delivery of a new RAD-X 60G Soft Case, Porta 100HF and all the accessories to make up a fully mobile DR system.

Emma had a list of patients from Gloucester to Failford waiting for X-rays, so she was champing at the bit for Jim to get her trained and ready to go. And now she’s off!

With heavy hearts we would like to announce that we are looking for a new home for Cynthia 🥺

Cynthia has been with us for the better part of the last twelve months and we have loved every fluff filled minute of it! However, in the last few months she has started to let us know she is not so happy in the constant hospital setting- with the continual comings and goings of patients and the general buzz of the place.

She loves a snuggle, is very affectionate and would love nothing more than having a consistent lap to cuddle up on! While this has not been an easy decision for us and while we will miss her greatly, we know that she will make the perfect companion for a family and will flourish with the love and attention of a more ‘normal’ home life can offer 🏡

All interested parties will need to submit their interest to [email protected] outlining 3 reasons why you will be the perfect home for our baby! Applications will be heavily vetted by us all as we come to terms with what life without Cynthia might look like 🥺🥺

This little guy was found roaming near the Caravan park, he’s a very friendly little man but is not microchipped so we aren’t able to reunite him with his family! If you’re missing him do let us know
