Meet Posey 💜

Posey was admitted for her lap spay. She was a superstar patient all day ⭐

A laparoscopic ovariectomy, otherwise known as a lap spay or keyhole spay is an advanced technique for neutering female dogs. In this procedure the ovaries are removed to prevent pregnancy, seasons and to minimise the chance of dogs developing certain cancers. The uterus is left inside, however your dog will not be able to develop pyometra as there is no active ovarian tissue left behind.

This surgery can only be performed by vets specifically trained for this procedure, with advanced instruments including a laparoscope camera, and vessel sealing forceps.

We currently have a waiting list for lap spays. If you would like to book your pet in, or have any questions. Please contact the practice 📞

Meet Bruce 💙

This very handsome boy came in last week to have a dental procedure.

He brought his little friend with him to keep him company during his stay. How cute are they together! 🐰

We placed an intravenous catheter into Bruce's ear vein, just like we do in the front legs of dogs and cats, to administer medications and fluids during his procedure.

Bruce was a superstar patient all day ⭐

Wishing you a speedy recovery Bruce 🐰

Sadly we have had a deceased tortoiseshell, female cat brought into the practice. She was found in Winslow.

Unfortunately she is not microchipped so we are unable to locate her owner.

If you think she may be your cat or if you know who she might be, please contact the practice.

Please share. Thank you
