⚠️⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️⚠️

Pet scams are big business for fraudsters who know how much we love our pets, set up to pull on your heart strings. Here we list a few, but please be scam aware and contact Action Fraud if you think you have been a victim of a pet scam.

❗SCAM❗
We have received a copy email from one of our clients claiming that their pets microchip registration will expire if a payment is not made. Microchip companies may charge an administration fee if you should wish to change any details or add additional benefits, but otherwise the cost of your microchip remains for the lifetime of your pet.

❗SCAM❗
Telephone calls advising that you are breaking the law if your pets vaccinations are not up to date. Although recommended they are not a legal requirement.

❗SCAM❗
Posts, generally shared many hundreds of times, of a picture of a sick and/or injured pet looking for their owner. No telephone number is included (an immediate indication of a scam post) and scammers use the opportunity to further scam and hack via the sharing of the post.

❗SCAM❗
Missing Pet Posters - scammers contact desperate owners who are looking for their pet advising their pet has been found, but needed veterinary treatment. People are quick to hand over money as they believe their pet has been found! This scam is particularly worrying as it gives false hope their pet has been located whilst stealing what could be large amounts of money.

Should you ever receive a call that worries you pertaining to be from our practice, please end the call and telephone us directly, we will always be happy to help and reassure you.

Please share - thank you

We are sad that our first post this new year is to report a deceased black and white neutered male cat has been bought into us from Winslow Road, Granborough. He’s not chipped, so we are unable to locate his owner. If you think this could be your cat, please contact the practice so we can make arrangements for him. 🙏

Please share, thank you.

We are thrilled to announce Dr Jo joins Richard as a Director of the practice.

Jo says.... having first been involved with the practice as a kennel assistant at school, I have seen the practice grow and develop incredibly. I came back to locum in 2019 and realised how much I enjoyed working here, so was lucky when a permanent position became available.

Five years on and I am so proud of the practice we are thanks to Richard and Jane's leadership. I hope I can help continue the development of the practice. It is a privilege to be part of the Windmill family.

❗️AMAZON MEDICINE RECALL❗️

You may have seen some posts circulating on Social media about Amazon recalling some Yumove tablets, found to be counterfeit. Lintbells, the makers of Yumove, have commented on the recall to reassure customers, please see their letter below.

As with many social media posts, it can be hard to prove the facts, but this should remind everyone to take care when buying medicines online. There are some reputable online pharmacies available who require veterinary prescriptions when necessary, ensure their medications are genuine, store them correctly and monitor their temperatures daily as we do. However, there are also many that abuse the system for their own gain, which can often make your pets very sick.

In this particular incident, the Yumove box appears to have been well copied, but the tablets inside had different batch numbers and expiry dates. When shopping online, it is important to always check where your medications are being sent from and be extra vigilant about checking the medication when it arrives. Offers that are too good to be true are often just that.

If you are worried about your pet or they develop any symptoms after taking any medications, please contact the practice and ensure you bring the packet to us if you have purchased it elsewhere.

❗️DOG VACCINES - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ❗️

Leptospirosis vaccines are changing!
Over the years, the strains causing leptospirosis in dogs across Europe and the UK have changed. Lepto 4 was developed as a result of these changes and gives broader protections to dogs against leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis (often called lepto) is an infectious bacterial disease. It is commonly spread through contact with water or soil contaminated with the urine of infected wildlife, particularly rats and rodents. The bacteria can survive there for weeks or months and enters the body through mucous membranes, in particular those of the eyes, nose, or mouth, or through a cut or scratch.

MSD the manufacturers of our leptospirosis vaccines have made the decision to discontinue L2 in response to reviewing the updated WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) guidelines. In the UK, there is a new and additional strain, called Bratislava, that is covered by L4, but not L2. In line with this recommendation and to help protect as many dogs as possible, MSD have decided to discontinue supply of L2 to all veterinary practices.

What does this mean for you and your pet?
All dogs currently vaccinated with L2 will have to transition to L4 at their yearly booster. This will entail two vaccinations, 4 weeks apart and in order to support this transition MSD will be supplying the second vaccination for your pet, free of charge.

If you have any concerns or worries, please speak to a member of our team.
