"Such a great surgery. Our dog has been treated here for the last 14 years. I really value the friendly, caring expertise from all the vets and nursing staff (as an owner of a dog that has had health issues her whole life.)Their prices are very reasonable and I really value their honesty during some difficult times. Can't recommend it highly enough."
Thank you so much Katie!
⚠️Grass Seeds in Dog' Paws⚠️
Grass seeds in Dogs' Paws can cause immediate irritation and discomfort. The sharp edges can pierce the skin, leading to redness, swelling, and pain. Dogs may exhibit signs of distress, such as limping, licking or chewing at their paws, and reluctance to walk or put weight on the affected limb.
⚠️Please be aware and please avoid fields with long grass⚠️
We have had 3 cases within the last week.
This is Merlin!
Merlin came in with a swollen digit on his front paw. When the vet examined this we found a grass seed.
⚠️Advice to all owners please avoid fields with long grass; this is our third victim of the week so far!⚠️
This is Gizmo Baker
A little dog who had a fracture repair from our Vost team.
This is a spider frame that had been placed for 8 weeks.
Then we radiographed and removed it with the Vost team again - and all looks like it is healing well!

When the temperature rises, it's important to provide your pets with a cool and shaded place to rest. This can be a covered porch, a shaded tree, or even an air-conditioned room.

Our 2nd top tip for your pets in this lovely hot weather is -
🏠Keep your pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day.
It's important to keep your pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10am and 4pm. This is when the sun is at its strongest and the temperature is at its highest. If your pets must be outside during this time, make sure they have access to shade and plenty of water. You can also consider using a cooling mat or vest to help keep them cool. Remember, pets can suffer from heatstroke and dehydration just like humans, so it's important to take precautions to keep them safe during hot weather.

May is Feline Hypertension Awareness Month (FHAM) Did you know... Feline hypertension affects one in five cats from nine years of age, but it represents a challenge for both Vets and owners because there are often no visible signs. Left undiagnosed, high blood pressure can do irreversible damage to the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys, so all cats aged seven years or older should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year. If you are unsure and would like a blood pressure check, do get in contact and book an appointment – 01242 676113 #woodmancotevets #localvets #trustedindependentveterinaryclinic #woodmancote #bishopscleeve #veterinaryclinic #localveterinaryclinic #vetsbishopscleeve #emergencyvetswoodmancote #emergencyvetsbishopscleeve #emergencyvetscheltenham #outofhoursvetscheltenham #outofhoursvetswoodmancote #cevaanimalhealth #cevasanteanimate @cevaanimalhealth @cevasanteanimale
