Great Big Green Week 🐝♻️

In order to celebrate ‘Great Big Green Week’ we are improving the biodiversity at our practice by introducing a wide range of wildflowers to surround our fences and help protect nature. Today, our student nurse team helped install a Bee and Bug hotel to accompany our wildflowers. We are happy to be a part of the ‘British Bee Veterinary Association’ and continue to improve our Green credentials at New Priory Vets.

Due to reduced demand in services at our Peacehaven clinic and an increase in demand at our Brighton hospital, we will be closing our Peacehaven clinic on Wednesdays over the summer from the 3rd of July.

Please be reassured this is only Wednesdays and the rest of the week remains open as normal. If you have any concerns or worries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We remain committed to caring for our long standing and new pets of Peacehaven and the surrounding areas.

⚠️The deadline for micro-chipping your cat is fast approaching. As from the 10th June, it will be a legal requirement for your cat to be chipped.

💉A simple and affordable procedure that can make a difference.

🚑 If the worst was to happen and your beloved pet was involved in an accident, having a chip means our vets can contact you quicker, meaning you can be by their side when they need you most.

🐈‍⬛️If you cat is an intrepid explorer, but is no Bear Grylls, they may end up lost. Having them chipped means we can get them back home straight away! However embarrassed they maybe! 🐱

There is nothing more heartbreaking then not being able to get a cat home, please save us the heartbreak and get your cat micro-chipped!

☎️Call us at either our Brighton or Peacehaven branch and get booked in today!

🙏A friendly reminder, once again those of you who do have your pet chipped:

Have you moved recently? 🚛
Got a new phone for your birthday?🤳

Then let the micro-chip company know! There is nothing worse than the excitement of finding a chip on a stray cat to find it is not up-to-date!

24/04/2024

It's International Guide Dog Day today! We're so grateful to our PAWSOME helpers who help every single day.

Lovely update from our friends at Wilbury. A pleasure looking after Bee 🐝

🐣Baby bird season is upon us....well baby wildlife in general!

With wildlife hospitals across the country starting to admit their first baby birds and baby mammals such as fox and badger cubs, it is important to know when a wild animal needs help.

🦆Too many wildlife babies are brought in to vet practices and rescue centres each year that could have possibly been left alone! Unless the creature is in immediate danger or injured then best to call a wildlife rescue for advice first.

🐦‍⬛Obviously if you find an injured animal then getting it veterinary treatment as soon as possible is a must!

PLEASE DO NOT TRY AND REAR THEM YOURSELF. By their very nature wild animals are wild, as cute as they are as a baby. Trying to rear them can cause them to lose their natural fear of humans and other predators, also many need specialist care, diets, warmth and feeding around the clock! Some as often as every 15 minutes! To give them the best start in life, please get them to a rescue ASAP!

🖱🖥We are quite lucky in Sussex with many excellent rescue centres that are on hand to help. Most have excellent advice on their websites and pages:

Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital
Sompting Wildlife Rescue
East Sussex WRAS
Seahaven Wildlife Rescue
There is also a Facebook group locally:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1774027652675573/

❗️Here's and excuse to get out of those jobs in the garden:

Whilst it is tempting to take down that old shed, or cut back that bush at the bottom of the garden that you have been meaning to do all winter...Just remember that under that old shed could be a fox with a litter of cubs, that bush maybe home to the next generation of blackbirds.

🔨🪛Check first before picking up the tools!

🦮Does your dog's slightly cloudy eyes mean they have cataracts?

✋️Not necessarily!

🐾Slightly cloudy or 'milky' eyes can be a sign of cataracts, but can also be seen with a normal aging of the lens called nuclear sclerosis. Outwardly the two conditions can look very similar - particularly when seen in daylight or bright fluorescent indoor lighting.

🐾Cataracts (that block vision) and nuclear sclerosis (which doesn't block vision) can be easily told apart by an examination by one of our vets using an ophthalmoscope during a standard consultation visit.

🐾Cataracts can occur with old age, but can also be suggestive of an underlying issue such as diabetes.

📞 If you would like your dog's eyes checked for cataracts, please book in to see one of our vets.🩺

☀️Spring has sprung and the Easter holidays are here

🐣With all those chocolate eggs and other Easter treats being consumed, it is important to keep them away from our four-legged friends!🐰

🍫Chocolate contains a chemical called ‘theobromine’, which is toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can result in vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, heart problems or even death.

🤢Hot cross buns are an Easter favourite, but did you know they can be deadly for dogs? They contain dried fruit, such as currants, sultanas, and raisins, all of which are toxic to dogs.

⁉️ What to do if you think your dog has eaten these foods:

📞Contact us as soon as you know they have eaten something toxic. We are open 24/7.

🖋Write down the details of anything you think your dog has ingested and bring any containers or labels which will help the vet choose the best course of action.

🐰Wishing all our clients and their pets a happy and healthy Easter time!🐰

🐰It's certainly Easter here at New Priory! 🐰

We had a visit from the Easter Bunny this morning....well...not quite...

One of our team, whilst on their way to work, saw something in the road. A very concussed rabbit. After quickly turning around, they managed to contain the injured bunny and transport it to work.

Likely to have had a clip by a car. Luckily our Vet Irina and nurse Sophie were on hand to provide emergency pain relief and assessment. Following an X-ray we felt best to head towards a Wildlife rescue centre.

The "Easter Bunny" is now on its way to our friends at East Sussex WRAS for further care.

31/03/2024

We hope you all have a lovely Easter!

We have had an entire, black male cat brought into us from the Moulsecoomb area. He is not microchipped. Please do get in touch if you are missing your cat on 01273 540430🐈‍⬛

We've had this handsome chap brought into the hospital. He was found on Hallett Road in Brighton. Please contact us if you have any information which may help us get him home 💜

Did you know❓️

As from the 10th June 2024 your cat needs to be microchipped.💉

This will be a legal requirement, failing to do so could result in a £500 fine (and no one wants that💷).

Microchipping your cat keeps them safe and gets them home quicker if they stray. 🐈‍⬛️

Microchipping is a relatively pain free and inexpensive, and will get your pet home if they are handed in to us (a lot cheaper then then the £500 fine)

Sadly, due the adventurous nature of cats, they are often brought into us following an accident. It breaks our hearts not being able to get them home or give their owners closure. 😪 💔

On the other side to that, we also have strays who are clearly loved pets that we cannot reunite, despite are best efforts, as we have no details as they are not chipped.

Both of these situations make our team very sad. It can be avoided. 👎😞

Some of us spend a lot of money on tech to find our wallets or our keys. Why? because we would be devastated if we lost them. So lets protect our cats!

Microchipping is so important and soon to be a legal requirement.

📞 Give us a call and get your cat booked in 📞

Those who have got their cat chipped 🥳HOORAY AND THANK YOU!🥳

BUT.. Cats move homes, phone numbers change. It is important to keep your pets microchip up-to-date. Please check your chips!
