Meet Lily🐻
Lily came to us as her owners had been struggling to trim her nails. Although Lily is a lovely girl, she is not a fan of having her feet touched!
After a successful pedicure under sedation, Lily went home with such shorter, comfortable nails💅
A HUGE thank you to all of our clients and colleagues, including those from Manchester Vet Centre, Holly House Veterinary Surgery and Willows Veterinary Hospital, who donated a fantastic amount of food over the Christmas period🎁
All donations were collected by one of our student nurses, Jennifer, who donated the food to Carla Lane Animals in Need Liverpool 🐶🐱
Thank you all so much again!!
Merry Christmas Eve from the team at Station House🎅🏼
Keep your eyes peeled for our beautiful window art, by our very own nurse Alice!

Meet Gilbert🦷
Gilbert came to us for a check up when his owner noticed he had stinky breath. After seeing one of our vets, he was booked in for a dental procedure under anaesthesia, which resulted in multiple extractions and a full scale.
Having 16 teeth extracted didn’t stop Gilbert from tucking in to a bowl of food in recovery!
Swipe to see Gilbert’s mouth before and after extractions😁

Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity that helps save lives by providing a blood service for pets. They run donation sessions across the UK, where owners can take their dogs to give blood.
Our very own Willows Veterinary Hospital is going to be a donor site, but we need you and your lovely dogs to help us get enough blood in our bank.
For more information visit the Pet Blood Bank UK Website or contact Willows Veterinary Hospital!
Did you know ❓
Your pets’ feeding and exercise routine may change when your pet is diabetic.
To keep blood sugar as steady as possible, you would need to feed your pet twice a day. They would need to eat the same amount and type of food every day.
Exercising uses up blood sugar so a set amount of exercise, at set times each day would be best for your pet.
If you have any concerns about feeding or exercising your diabetic pet, please contact your local Willows branch ☎️ 🐾
Give them the love and care they deserve 🎉
👉 Our senior wellness checkups in practice include a comprehensive health assessment tailored for them.
📞Call us today to find out more and book an appointment. 🐾❤️
Did you know❓
Your pets will need to be monitored when they have diabetes. There are various approaches to monitoring, and you should discuss with your vet which is most appropriate for you and your pet.
Options include:
🐾 Monitoring energy, hunger, thirst, urination, and body weight.
🐾 Regular fructosamine blood tests.
🐾 Using a finger-prick glucose monitor on your pet’s ear at home.
🐾 Doing urine dipstick tests at home.
We know you’re busy, so let’s get straight to it…
Spreading the cost of your regular vet visits, into 12 monthly payments will give you peace of mind, keep your beloved pet in tip top condition and look after your wallet too!

How diabetes can be treated⁉️
Just like people, diabetic animals need insulin.
Treatment usually involves:
• Insulin injections under the skin twice per day, usually for the rest of the pet’s life
• Dietary changes such as a low carbohydrate diet for cats, and a low sugar diet, balanced in calories and fats, for dogs - If caught early, weight loss in some obese diabetic cats can reverse their diabetes!
Our senior pet wellness clinics have launched, so how about some grey-muzzled beauties to celebrate?

Why do cats knead❔ Kittens knead their mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow. If your cat kneads your lap during cuddles, it may indicate their connection from the secure bond with their mother to the bond they share with you. And the more they knead, the more they love you! 💗
Sometimes they drive our patience, but we always love our goofballs. #feelgoodfeeling

To exotic or not to exotic, that is the question… 🐢 🦎 🐍 🐦 . . Vet nurses are ready to care for all pets, no matter how many legs they have! #vetnurse #vnam #vnam2023 #EmpowerOurVNs #vetlife
Registered veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. They are regulated by them in terms of their conduct and keeping up to date with training. The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world as anyone can use this term, even if not qualified or registered. Efforts have been made to change this, and we fully support this; our nursing team deserves to have their title protected and for pet owners to know your vet nurse is fully qualified to look after your beloved pet. Registered vet nurses RVN and registered student nurses RSVN are always qualified and trained. #vetnurse #vnam #vnam2023 #EmpowerOurVNs #vetlife
