Meet Taz, a Coatimundi who we recently had stay with us in our veterinary hospital. Taz under went a sedation to allow us to examine a wound he had and take some xrays of his left hind leg that seemed to be uncomfortable. He did very well and was able to go home the next day. In the video, you can see Taz enjoying a boiled egg that our Nurse Amber prepared for him as a favourite treat.

💦HYDROTHERAPY FOR FITNESS💦
Meet Lulu, a lovely Border Collie who sees our Hydrotherapist Shelby regularly to help maintain her fitness. Lulu competes in Agility classes and her owner likes to use Hydrotherapy to help maintain her cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength.
Hydrotherapy, in conjunction with medical management, is a great treatment for dogs suffering from orthopaedic conditions, but it can also be beneficial to a healthy dog. Our hydrotherapy team are able to devise specific exercise regimes for your dog to focus on improving or maintain cardiovascular fitness and strength. It's also great for dogs who enjoy exercising in water or those who would benefit from extra mental stimulation.
For more information on our hydrotherapy treatments, please contact 01234 261622 to speak to one of our Hydrotherapists.

🌊🌊🌊HYDROTHERAPY STAR🌊🌊🌊
Meet Taffy, a very well behaved Labrador who was orginally referred to our Hydrotherapy centre back in April 2021. He had been diagnosed with elbow dysplasia of his left and right elbows, although he was only showing lameness on his left fore leg, and his Vet had recommended Hydrotherapy to improve the movement in his joints and build up the muscle around the area to help support his sore elbows. After making great progress with his lameness using hydrotherapy, Taffy now attends for monthly treatment to help maintain his muscles and comfort.

❤️GUINEA PIG APPRECIATION DAY 2022❤️
Did you know - Guinea Pigs require constant access to grass and/or good quality hay. They don't produce vitamin C and therefore need a diet of grass-based guinea pig nuggets and washed leafy greens, such as kale and broccoli, every day. Feeding the correct diet also helps to keep their teeth the correct length and shape.

Mrs Hogg & the Hoglets

Rabbit Awareness Week - Diet
Did you know; a rabbit’s diet should be made up of:
85% hay or grass
10% leafy green veg
5% extruded pellets or nuggets
Unlimited good quality hay is the foundation of a healthy diet for a pet rabbit. Unlike humans, rabbits’ teeth grow continually throughout their lives. The chewing action of eating grass and hay keeps their teeth worn naturally. If the rabbits don’t eat enough hay they will develop painful ‘spurs’ on their teeth where the teeth have not worn down properly.
