May pet of the month!🥰🐶

This months pet of the month goes to our nurse Hollie's beautiful golden retriever Walter!

Hollie noticed Walter started to become unwell last Thursday night. She noticed he became quieter than usual, had a foul odour coming from his mouth and was drooling quite a bit. She brought him into us the next day where we did a full comprehensive examination. Walter was so brave while he let us inspect his mouth for signs of a tooth fracture or foreign body. We found nothing obvious but gave him some medication to help him feel more comfortable.

As the day progressed and Walter made no improvement despite being medicated we knew something was wrong. Walters condition progressed and he started experiencing pain when walking and was struggling to lift and lower his head.

The next day we ran a full blood profile and which showed us there was some inflammation and infection going on somewhere in his body. Because of this Walter also became anaemic.

Walter then had a full ultrasound scan to determine the cause of the illness as the vets were still baffled by this sudden and unexplainable illness. His abdomen scan came back clear but on the scan of his heart it was noticed that Walter had Infectious Endocarditis (Inflammation and infection of the heart).

Walter was immediately started on stronger pain relief and 2 types of antibiotics to fight the infection. Luckily for Walter his mum was able to provide 24h care and TLC which included intravenous medications and constant temperature monitoring over the bank holiday weekend.

When we all came back to work on Tuesday we were anxious to see how Walter was doing. We were all so please when he came through the door like his normal happy self, wagging his tail and jumping up to say hello!

Walter will still have to continue his antibiotic course for another 2 weeks and when the course is completed he will have another ultrasound scan to determine if the infection has caused any long term damage to his heart.

We are so happy Walter is on the mend and we would like to offer him this award because despite all the pain he was experiencing he managed to keep a brave face and keep his little tail wagging.

As May is Veterinary nurse awareness month we would also like to show some appreciation for our nurse Hollie. She is a prime example of all the hard work and round the clock care that nurses provide. We can pick up on the smallest of details that may indicate there is something wrong and we always put 110% into caring for the animals whether its our own pet or yours!❤️🐾

This is Tennyson. Over the weekend his owner noticed a wound on his tail after Tennyson had been outside. Due to the damage caused our vets recommended tail amputation.

Tennyson was very lucky that the injury did not cause any permanent damage. The tail contains nerves that are linked to bladder control. Tail pull injuries can often result in a permanent loss of bladder function. We are so happy that Tennyson's injury was a simple fix and there was no long term damage caused.

He has been in to us today to have his procedure and has been so brave! We wish you a speedy recovery and hope you get well soon Tennyson!🥰

Post surgery cuddles are the best part of our day🥰

This little cutie is Rupert! He was in with us for a lump removal on Wednesday. Its safe to say he won over all the nurses hearts with his friendly personality🥰

Get well soon Rupert!❤️

Its a common misconception that vet nurses just cuddle puppies and kittens all day. Of course it is our favourite part of the job🥰 but veterinary nurses have to undergo years of training to be able to provide your pet with the best care. Take a look below to see some of our day to day responsibility's!

May is veterinary nurse awareness month so please remember to show your nurses some appreciation as we all work so hard to provide exceptional care to your pets☺️🐶🐱

🐈April pet of the month🐈

This is May, a 10 month old Scottish straight. Her owners brought her into us after she fell off a radiator and was unable to put any weight on her left hind leg. We anaesthetised May and performed x-rays. Upon examination of the x-rays it was clear that May had a Salter-Harris type 5 fracture of her femoral condyle.

All kittens and puppy's under 1 year old have growth plates. These are soft pieces of bone found at the end of limb bones. They are responsible for the growth of the rest of the bone but due to them being soft they are more prone to injury, which is what unfortunately happened to May.

May was then woken up and booked in for a fracture repair surgery. Our vets used pins and wires to repair the fracture and May is now on her journey to recovery. She will require at least 4 weeks of pain management and strict cage rest to allow the bones to heal. At 6 weeks post op she will come back to us for another anaesthetic and x-rays so we can confirm that the bones have healed correctly.

We are all so pleased she is doing well and are excited to see her recover back to full health. Well done May for being so brave🥰

She will be visiting soon to collect her certificate and prize!

This is Spooky who was in with us for a spay yesterday. Within an hour of her procedure she was up, walking about and eating! A couple of hours later she is playing like nothing ever happened! We recommended spaying and castrating cats young (anywhere from 3-4 months as long as they weigh 1kg). By doing the procedure when they are young your cat will get a quicker, less painful recovery and will be back home to you in the evening like there normal cheeky self!

Just a reminder to all of our clients and followers that we will be closed for the Holidays from Saturday 23rd after 12:30pm. ⛄️ We will be back on the 27th of December and open all day but for sick animals only. Enjoy the Holidays ! 🎄

🐰RABBIT OWNERS🐰 Rabbits are super sensitive to changes in climate. Watch the video below to get some tips on how to keep your bunny cool this summer. Another useful tip is applying cool (not freezing) water to their ears. The ears are where rabbits loose body heat from and therefore this will help them cool down. Rabbits are prey animals. This means they are experts in hiding pain and illness. When a rabbit presents as unwell they can decline rapidly. If you suspect your rabbit is showing signs of heat stroke please contact us on 0127406522 as soon as possible.

It’s upon us! The most wonderful time of the year or, depending on your outlook, the most stressful time of the year.

Take a look at our 16 steps to ensure your Christmas is fun and stress-free for all . . . including the furrier members of the family. 🎄

Let your dog be nosey on a walk, it's their natural behaviour and is an activity that is needed for their general wellbeing.

Although rabbits originate from the western Mediterranean, they’re not actually used to spending too much time in the red-hot sun. This is because in the wild, rabbits hide out in deep burrows where it’s cool and shaded. Hot summer days can prove dangerous to our bunnies. Here are our 5 summer tips for rabbit owners . . . https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/5-summer-tips-for-rabbit-owners

Your dog’s annual injections include vaccination against parvo, so it’s vital to keep these up to protect your pet against this serious infection. Puppies can be vaccinated against canine parvovirus from around six weeks old. As well as protecting your dog or puppy against this nasty and potentially serious disease, regular vaccination is required by kennels and pet insurers as a condition of cover. Read our article to find out more . . . https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/common-questions-about-puppy-vaccinations

Happy Valentine's Day to all our wonderful pet owners!

When walking your dog in the dark, make sure that both you and your dog are visible to others. For owners, this means avoiding dark clothing and wearing reflective safety gear such as a vest, strap or wristband. There are several options for keeping your dog visible in the dark, such as a reflective dog jacket, collar, lead, harness or even an LED light-up safety necklace. Dogs with darker fur are more difficult to see in the dark. However, even if you have a lighter coloured dog, you should make sure your dog can be seen in the dark.

Reply with your favourite day of the year and why it's Golden Retriever Day! 🥳
