This is great. Wishing all of you and your pets a very Merry and pet safe Christmas 🎄 ❤️
‘Twas the week before Christmas and all though the land,
Vets teams were ready to give pets a hand,
Dogs, rabbits, hamsters, horses and cats,
All often suffer with festive mishaps!
Like the greedy old doggo who ate all the mince pies,
but they are not good for their insides!
Same goes for the stollen, the cake and the pudding,
It’s raisins that can give the kidneys a drubbing!
The next festive treat that gives us a fright,
is the chocolate, so please keep your snacks locked up tight!
The dark stuff’s the one that’s the worst of them all,
if your pooch pinches a prezzie, please give us all call!
First we will make them do great smelling vomit,
then medicines to help them, don’t worry, we’re on it!
And the puss, who climbs up and then pulls down the tree?
(it looks like a giant cat toy, you see!)
Don’t panic, we’re there to put them back together!
Your vets are available, whatever the weather!
In fact all the baubles, lights, decorations,
are enough to give your vet palpitations!
They look like fun stuff, just right to play with,
but if they are eaten, cause all sorts of mischief!
And sharing the dinner seems like a great idea,
but not the next day, when they have sickness and diarrhoea!
So this festive season to keep your pets out of trouble
(and stop you from rushing to the vets on the double!)
Please keep them away from the gifts and food,
but you can certainly treat them if you’re in the mood!
With presents and stockings made just for pets,
which surely for them is as good as it gets!
So I will wish you a very happy Christmas 2023
and hope that your new year is all you wish it to be!
Happy Christmas everyone! And thank you very much to my colleagues who will be covering the on-call this year.
