Hazel, our lovely patient, experienced a sudden onset of sneezing and was brought to our Bridlington practice for an emergency consultation in the afternoon.
To remove the grass blade from her nose, Hazel was sedated for the procedure, and she handled it wonderfully!
If a grass blade is left in the nose, it can cause infection and inflammation.
Therefore, if you have any concerns about your pet, get in touch with your vet immediately.
We swapped our scrubs for swimming caps and googles for Macmillan Cancer Support 🏊
Yesterday, our team completed 1626 lengths of a 25m pool - our journey from Dover to Calais. We actually (somehow!) completed 300 more lengths than needed, but that's ok, as it's all in the name of fundraising!
We're so proud of all of our team who decided to give up their free time on a weekend to help us make this achievement possible! We also wanted to say a massive thank you to East Riding Leisure for allowing us to have a lane for the day.
Next up, we'll be walking or running the 181-mile distance individually from Calais to Paris, to get us there in time for the opening ceremony on the 27th July!

Sometimes you just need your little sister for support!
Buddy the Springador has been visiting our Hydrotherapy team (with his sister, Bell, on the sidelines) to help with his elbow osteoarthritis. Alongside his rehab in the pool, he is also receiving an injection once a month to aid his progress.
The injection he has is an innovative therapy called a Monoclonal Antibody. It works like your dogs own immune system does, by targeting and neutralising a protein that stimulates pain in patients who suffer from arthritis.
If this sounds like something your pet could benefit from, talk to your vet on your next visit!
Our Hydrotherapy treadmill is suitable for all dogs big and small!
Norah is a beautiful Pug, and she had a bilateral hip replacement a year ago with our Orthopaedic Vet, Patrick, and she's been coming to Hydrotherapy sessions with Eleanor ever since.
Initially, Norah had sessions on the treadmill twice a week, but our team has seen such great progress, Norah is now down to fortnightly maintenance sessions.
Great work Norah! Thanks to the Rehab team for aiding her progress, and to Norah's owners for following our guidance at home - it makes a huge difference!

Spaniel Nu is taking full advantage of our hydro-suite with its underwater treadmill.
The warm water takes the strain off her joints and helps her move better for longer to help with her arthritis.
You can see just how at ease she is with the lovely Eleanor.

For Miley, regular laser therapy and physiotherapy is the answer to treating muscle tightness in her lower back and around her hips 🐾
She is 2.5 years old and always falls asleep during her sessions 😁
This has prevented further back pain and flare-ups for a long time, if you think your pet would benefit from laser therapy you can find out more information in our blog here: www.aldgatevet.co.uk/latest-news/laser-therapy/
You can give us a call on 01377 252087 for more further information and advice.

⌚️⌚️ GUESS THE TIME AND WIN PROSECCO 🥂🥂
This weekend is a landmark event in our fundraising for Cancer Research UK. So far, we’ve raised £1,286 for this great cause, smashing our initial target of £1,000 so we’re now challenging ourselves to hit £2,000.
On Sunday our team will each run legs from our practice in Driffield to our brand new small animal hospital in Bridlington, which will open in early 2022, bringing an unrivalled care facility to the region.
The total distance is about 16 miles, taking in Nafferton, Lowthorpe, Harpham and Kilham, before heading directly into Bridlington. Simply guess in the comments how long it will take us to complete the route and whoever guesses closest wins a bottle of prosecco!
We’d love to see smiling faces en route and feel free to join us at the finish but even more important you can donate to this amazing cause at www.justgiving.com/team/aldgatevets
Thanks for all the support so far,
The team at Aldgate Vets 😊

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ graphic video! 🤢
Do you worm your pets regularly? This chap presented itself from the bottom of a cat in our care with another following suit! 🐛
The tapeworm sheds eggs into the environment 🏠 (your carpet, bed 🛌, car...anywhere!) through the loss of body segments which we can see on the video and can be contracted by consuming prey and/or ingesting fleas 🐀
This is easily prevented with regular worming, using a flea treatment and picking up your pets poo 💩 which is all part of being a responsible pet owner 🐕 🐈
😻🎈🎉 WORLD CAT DAY 2019! 🎉🎈😻
Today is World Cat Day! So to celebrate, here are some gorgeous cats belonging to our team! 😍
Post your favourite photos of your feline friends below, we would LOVE to see them!😻📸
We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that sent us cards and well wishes and brought us in so so many gifts..we have been well and truly spoilt. Merry Christmas to all of our clients and your wonderful furry friends, we hope Santa brings you joy and happiness 🎅🏽
Florence's story.
This beautiful little cat was found by a kind hearted lady in the early hours of a wet April morning. She had obviously been hit by a car and was in a very bad way. The RSPCA brought her into the practice at 2am on Saturday morning, our vet Mary started to warm her up and treat her for her injuries.
Later that morning Lucy examined her again, taking x-rays to determine the full extent of her injuries. Lucy found she had broken her pelvis, jaw and one of her canine teeth but worst of all she had sustained a life threatening injury called a diagphragmatic hernia. A diagphragmatic hernia can happen due to severe trauma such as car accidents; the contents of the abdomen are pushed through the diaphragm and into the chest.
It was obvious she wasn't going to survive without immediate surgery so Lucy operated on her that day. The hernia was repaired and her broken jaw wired. It was felt our little patient should really be given a name. We chose Florence.
Over the next few days Florence found it difficult to eat with her newly fixed jaw so Gill placed a feeding tube into her tummy to ensure she was getting enough to eat.
Florence stayed at the practice for a few weeks and over this time made huge improvements. She also changed shape...Florence was pregnant!!!
The Bridlington Bridlington, Driffield and District RSPCA kindly agreed to foster Florence until she had her kittens and was able to be rehomed.
Florence had 1 kitten on Saturday the 20th May and has taken to motherhood like a duck to water.
The only thing that is left to do is give Florence's baby a name...ANY IDEAS??!!!
