After 46 years, our amazing veterinary nurse, Janet, is retiring!
Janet's final day with us is next Tuesday 26th August. We'd like to thank Janet for her care, compassion and dedication to not only the animals, but also the clients and people lucky enough to work alongside her.
Janet is the friendly face who always has the time for a catch up with clients or a shoulder to cry on when those difficult decisions need to be made. Many will remember Janet looking after their parent's pets or even their grandparent's pets. Janet has also been a nurturing mentor to many vets and nurses who have worked at Northcote over the years. Many have said it feels like she's part of the furniture and an integral part of Northcote Vets. Our team will be very sad to see her go and I'm sure the clients and animals will miss her very much too.
We wish Janet all the happiness and relaxation as she begins a new chapter and a well deserved retirement. Lots of love & hugs from the Northcote Vets team 🩷###x

Solensia is a prescription medication for cats, specifically designed to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis. It's administered via a monthly injection and works by targeting and neutralizing a protein that stimulates pain, improving mobility and overall quality of life for cats with arthritis.
If you would like more information about Solensia or you'd like to give it a try then book a consultation with one of our vets to discuss this further.

With spring now here, we know many people will enjoy fresh flowers around their home. It is IMPORTANT to ensure that lilies (Lilium species and Hemerocallis species) are kept away from cats.

Many people believe that it is only the pollen in lilies that is toxic to cats.

This is not true.

Experimental evidence has shown that leaves and petals are also toxic, and it is likely that the whole plant is a risk if eaten by a cat.

Initial signs of lily toxicity in cats include gastrointestinal signs (such as vomiting and drooling), before
progressing to signs associated with kidney dysfunction such as depression, inappetence and increased urination.

If your cat has come into contact with a lily (Lilium species or Hemerocallis species), we recommend that you seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible.

Lovely Mable visited us for her second vaccination this week. She was very brave and unsurprisingly received a lot of fuss from the team. Mable can now start socialising and go on adventures with her family 😊

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING DOG BOOSTERS.
The vaccine manufacturers are discontinuing the dog vaccine we currently use so over the next year we have to move all dogs onto a new vaccine which provides protection for the same diseases as before but also additional cover for more strains of leptospirosis.

How will this be implemented?
When your dog is due their booster they will need to have 2 visits for 2 vaccines. We will administer the first vaccine and book you in 4 weeks later for the second dose to achieve full immunity.
Please note there is no additional charge for the second dose, you will just be charged the booster fee. Then going forward you will only need to come once yearly for boosters like usual.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
Northcote Vets x
