Antibiotics are essential to treat many conditions in both humans and animals. But they must be used carefully, to ensure they are effective when patients really need them.
If not used responsibly, antibiotics lead to dangerous side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis, and contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics also damages the environment, impacting water quality and wildlife.
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest global health issues of our time.

Imagine a world where infections and diseases in humans, animals and plants are impossible to treat. This worst-case scenario could become a reality as bacteria, viruses and parasites develop resistance to the drugs we use to fight them. Antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, has become one of the most pressing health issues of our time.
Antibiotics are essential to treat many conditions in both humans and animals. But they must be used carefully, to ensure they are effective when patients really need them.
If not used responsibly, antibiotics lead to dangerous side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis, and contribute to AMR. Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics also damages the environment, impacting water quality and wildlife.
Solutions exist and everyone has a role to play in the fight against this global threat.

Billy - hydro
Meet our latest hydro hero, Billy! Billy is currently having a series of hydrotherapy sessions with us following hip surgery a few weeks ago.
Hydrotherapy is not only an important rehabilition tool for a variety of orthopaedic problems, but can also assist weight loss. It is suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on the joints and creates a much safer and controlled environment. Hydrotherapy can also improve balance, co-ordination and increase overall energy levels, whilst reducing pain and stress on the limbs. All sessions are carefully supervised by one of our trained hydro team and most of our dogs love their swims (followed by a little blow-dry, of course!)
If you think your dog may benefit from hydro, speak to one of our vets. If appropriate, they may be able to offer you a free taster session to see if it is suitable for your hound! Call us now to book a consultation with one our vets 01277 823858

Nurses assist vets
Our nurses play a multitude of roles. Assisting our vets when they are preparing for a procedure is just one element of what they do. Here are Shannon and Sophie helping out vet, Sam.
(An ET is an Endotracheal tube, which enables breathing whilst under anaesthetic)
Preparing for a spay
Just one of the many duties for our veterinary nurses, preparing an animal for surgery. Here Maisie and Shannon are preparing a bitch for a spay.

Rosie - Hydrotherapy
Did you know we have a hydrotherapy unit at our Blackmore branch? You won't necessarily notice it when you visit as the suite is tucked away in a quiet space so the dogs can relax during their sessions.
This is the beautiful Rosie at one of her appointments recently.
๐๐๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ is an important rehabilitation tool in dogs with a variety of orthopaedic problems. It can also assist with weight loss. It is suitable for dogs of all shapes and sizes, so whether your pup is 70kg or 7kg, it could improve the quality of their lives.
Under the direction of one of our hydrotherapy team, the water is set to the appropriate depth, and the underwater treadmill to a suitable speed. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on their joints and this creates a much safer environment for exercise. Hydrotherapy can also improve balance, co-ordination and increase overall energy levels all while reducing pain and stress on the limbs.
After their session, each dog is towel dried and then given a little blow-dry so they are dry for the journey home.
If you think your dog may benefit from a series of hydrotherapy sessions, we may be able to offer you a free taster session so speak to one of our vets!
