***URGENT NOTICE***
From 1 st September the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS, regulatory
body for the veterinary profession in the UK), is introducing new guidance on
prescribing prescription-only medicines.
The full guidance can be found on:
https://www.rcvs.org.uk/setting-standards/advice-and-guidance/under-care-new-guidance/
The new guidance requires that a physical examination of the pet has to be performed
every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasiticides are prescribed.
This includes topical preparations such as ear and eye drops and all prescription
flea/worm/tick products.
The guidance is an important step towards ensuring responsible antimicrobial use and
reducing the veterinary impact on the wider issues of global antibiotic resistance and
decline of insect populations.
What this means in practice is that your pet will need to come in for an in-person
consultation every time
- we need to prescribe medication for an ear infection ( as most contain antibiotics)-
- we/ you decide to change from one fle/worm/ tick product to another
- we need to prescribe antibiotics for any skin problem, even if it’s a chronic problem
- we suspect a urinary tract infection ( remote/online consultation and urine analysis/
culture are no longer sufficient)
- we suspect a gastrointestinal infection ( remote/online consultation and faecal
analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)
We also can no longer prescribe prescription deworming products on the basis of
laboratory report alone, we will need to see the pet for a consultation and physical
examination first.
For long term prescribing medication that is not antimicrobial/ antiparasitic, our usual
policy of requiring an examination every 6 months ( or every 3 months in some less
stable or serious cases ) continues to apply.
The consultations are charged at our normal fee of £14.30- 30, depending on whether
it is an initial consultation or one for a recurring problem.
If you have any questions or concerns about the new guidance, RCVS can be
contacted on:
020 7202 0789 or [email protected]

Waiting patiently.....
We had a visit from the gorgeous Pheobe today. What a star!
A very cute vistor today wanted to join us on reception.
We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather!
Here are some helpful tips for your animals at these times.
It only takes a dog a few minutes to overheat in a car, so please do not leave your animal unattended, Even with the windows open it can quickly become too hot and put your dogs life at risk.
Dogs will benefit being walked early in the morning or later at night as pavements can get very hot and burn their paws ( If it's too hot for your hands...it's too hot for paws)
Paddling pools or cold/wet blankets are a great way for your dog to keep cool in the heat
Make sure your animal has access to water
Make sure your animal has a shaded area to where they can get out of the sunshine and keep indoors if extremely hot.
Hopefully the weather will last!
A female grey and white cat was brought in today after being found on the B7034 near Carcluie Cottages. Unfortunately it would appear she had been hit by a car and she passed away shortly after. If this could be your cat or sounds like someone you knows cat please get in touch.
A client kindly sent us a photo of her gorgeous girl and her 13 day old pups. All are doing great!
🐾 At this time of year, it’s normal for fledglings to spend time on the ground while they’re preparing to fly the nest.
Fledglings are young birds who have all or most of their feathers. In almost all cases, they don’t need our help and it’s best to leave them alone.
You can find more advice on fledglings and birds on our website: https://bit.ly/3LWl0pF
If the fledgling is clearly injured or in distress, please call our helpline on 03000 999 999.
The surgery will be closed on monday 8th of May and will reopen as usual on Tuesday. In the event of an emergency and your pet is registered with Hollowpark please call the surgery and follow the instructions on the answer machine. Please do not leave messages as these are not monitored. Thankyou
We are currently looking for donations of newspapers if any one can help??
We would like to wish all our clients a Merry Christmas and thank you for your support this year. We would also like to remind you not to allow dogs to eat chocolate, fruit cake or mince pies to name but a few foods toxic to animals.
