The Veterinary Surgery

Let’s all be honest right now… 😆🐶 Share a pic of your furry friend and let us know how they're doing today! 🐕📸 *Don’t worry non-dog people… your time to shine will come 👀

We don't need a week to appreciate our amazing Receptionists as we appreciate them every single day ❤ But as it is Veterinary Receptionist week, we are going to be sharing posts of appreciation throughout the week and highlight some of the jobs we do on a day to day basis. In this video our Receptionist Charlotte is demonstrating some of the tasks we complete. We truly would be lost without our reception teams, please join us in a massive thank you to each and everyone of them for everything that they do 🥰👏🥳 #VeterinaryReceptionistWeek

The first and last face you see when you visit 💗 From booking in pets for a routine vaccination to dealing with an emergency arrival. Our receptionists have one of the most demanding and critical roles. We’d like to say a massive thank you to our receptionists for their amazing efforts every single day. We ❤️ You! #VeterinaryReceptionistWeek

An extra day to show how much we ❤️ our pets? RESULT! 🙌 A cheeky pet treat? a new toy? extra strokes? How are you making us of our bonus day this year? #LeapYearLove #PetWellness

Spay? Neuter? Fixing? Being done? Whatever you call it, it is the most responsible thing you can do for your cat. Here’s why ⏬ 😺 Helps protect your cat against diseases and some cancers 😺 Protects female cats against risks that come with pregnancy 😺 Reduces the chances of male cats ‘spraying’, as this is something unneutered cats do to mark their scent to attract potential suitors. If you have any questions about this for your cat, please give us a call or ask us the next time you are in. #WorldSpayDay

They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬ 💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat! 💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets 💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals. 💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love! Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽 #ValentinesDay

How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬ 💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you! 💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most. 💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it. These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞 #ValentinesDay

We recently receive recognition in our local paper for our Brindley Way Hospital being accredited as a gold cat-friendly practice by the ISFM. Goblin wanted to give all our clients and feline friends a guided tour 😎 Since we opened the site in 2022, we’ve introduced facilities to ensure cats have an as comfortable experience as possible when they visit our practice. We’ve created low-stress environments through having medical and ICU units for cats, oxygen therapy kennels, and cat kennels complete with cat castles creating comfortable and quiet spaces for our feline patients. Well done to our team who have worked incredibly hard to make cat wellbeing a priority at our practice 🥰🐾🐱

This #BlueMonday we want to give thanks to how much our besties give to us each day.

We love it when our clients are creative with distracting their pet during a vet's visit 🤩 Dave's Mummy came prepared with a yummy-filled kong for him to lick while nurse Jenny performed an anal gland expression 😋🐶 What techniques do you use for your pet? Let us know below 👇

Veterinary Nurse Quiz!

The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world. 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
