We’d like to introduce you to lovely Jaffa. This was his first time visiting us & it’s safe to say he made himself feel very at home. He loved wandering round the clinic on his long lead & especially loved being up high. Jaffa you were a delight, even if you weren’t a huge fan of having those nails clipped 🤎

Monday Milo Update:
So today, Milo had his first vaccinations. He was such a drama queen…. But was brave enough at the same time! He now weighs 1.8 kg, a massive improvement on his 0.06kg when he first came to us 9 weeks ago. And he was 1.6 last Thursday! Growing boy. 🩵
He has slept since the vaccinations, which is a normal reaction, the symptoms should be mild and only last one or two days. Won’t be long before he is back to being a loon! But we’ll take the sleepy/cuddly Milo for as long as we can!!! 🖤🤍

Are you aware of blue-green algae?

What you need to know:

⚠️ Blue-green algae are tiny bacteria found in still, nutrient-rich water.

⚠️ They produce toxins harmful to dogs; about half of exposed dogs die.

⚠️ Most poisonings occur from drinking or swimming in freshwater lakes and ponds.
Symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors, and seizures can appear within an hour.

⚠️ Prevent poisoning by avoiding risky areas, checking algae warnings, and rinsing dogs after swimming.

Today is International Cat Day. So, what better way to introduce you all to little Milo 🩵
Milo was brought into our clinic 3 weeks ago, estimated at 4 weeks old. He was found in a trailer along with his 4 other siblings. Unfortunately Milo had got his left leg trapped in a drawer, and it was quite obviously damaged. Once in our care we X-rayed his leg which turned out to be fractured, meaning he would need to rest as much as possible & have his leg in a splint for several weeks. He needs twice weekly splint and bandage changes. Since then, our Practice Manager, Emma has been looking after him. Emma has had to feed Milo 4 hourly throughout the night, including toileting him. It’s been so lovely to see his personality grow, along with his cheekiness.
We are pleased to say Milo is doing incredibly well, he has grown so much & he’s on his last bandage redress.
We know a few of our lovely clients have had the pleasure of having a cuddle with him too!
We thought we’d show you some photos/videos of the last 3 weeks 🩵

We are pleased to welcome lovely little Olive to our Cootes family. Olive is a 2 month old Cavapoo & has the most beautiful markings. She came in this morning for her first set of vaccinations & was exceptionally brave. We had a morning full of fun, cuddles & maybe an accidental excitable wee! We look forward to seeing you again soon Olive 💙
