⭐️ COMPETITION TIME ⭐️

We are looking for a new cover photo for July. The theme is summer. Share your photos in the comments below of your pets enjoying their holidays, walks, country shows and all things summer!
Our favourite will be chosen on the 1st July and will be our summer cover star! ☀️🌊🌾🌸

How pretty are the flowers looking at the moment now that summer has finally made an appearance.
Thank you to Tracy and Mandy who have been busy looking looking after our garden and outside space.
Flowers have been planted that not only make our practice look pretty but also Bee friendly. 🐝 🌸☀️

Bees are important pollinators as they play a critical role in pollinating trees and flowers and maintaining healthy ecosystems, which are essential for our food production. Yet, bee populations are declining.

Things we can do to help:

🐝 Planting bee-friendly plants like heather and daisies and red clover on balconies, terraces, and in gardens can help
🐝 Leaving sections of the garden wild and letting the grass grow long gives the bees a place to shelter
🐝 Create a bee hotel for your garden’s bee population
🐝 Leaving a small dish with a few pebbles and shallow water in can help if a bee is thirsty
🐝 Don’t use pesticides as they are really harmful to bees
🐝 Buy honey and other hive products from your nearest local beekeeper

Last week we were contacted by a local contractor as they had found a bat in a drain pipe.
The bat was brought into the practice for assessment from one of the Vets. There were no signs of injury so after some TLC the bat was returned to its location at dusk and we were very happy to see it leave its box and fly back into the wild 🦇
Did you know that all bat species, their breeding sites and resting places are fully protected by law - they’re European protected species. Although bats are protected by law, you’re allowed to handle a bat in trouble in order to assist it.
Check out the Bat Conservation Trust for more information on this fascinating species 🖤

Everybody meet Gus and Ivy 🐰
Ivy came to see us last week for her annual vaccination and Gus came along to keep her company!

Rabbits are social animals and should be kept in neutered pairs like these two, as you can see they are very happy together 🥰

Rabbits should be routinely vaccinated each year against Myxomatosis and VHD (Viral Haemorrhagic Disease) 1+2, all of which are often fatal diseases.
Disease is widespread in wild rabbits and is spread by contact between rabbits, or via insects such as fleas and mosquitos.

If you would like to check your Rabbits vaccination status, or for more information on preventative healthcare please get in touch and the team will be happy to help!

Today we had a slightly different patient at the practice, lovely Leia the Valais Blacknose Sheep 🐑
She came in to see us for an X-ray as she has been lame on one of her legs. As she is a pet sheep she is used to being handled and with a reassuring cuddle from RVN Hannah she sat perfectly 🥰

Did you know that we have a farm dispensary at Congleton and are able to dispense Large Animal Drugs to farm clients of our sister practice 🐮🐷🐏

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨

We want to alert our clients about a scam targeting pet owners. Scammers are posing as veterinary practices and calling owners of missing pets, claiming the pet is injured and needs urgent treatment. They ask for payment over the phone.

❗ Important:
Do not give your details to anyone who calls you.
Tell them you will call back.
Look up the veterinary practice number online and call them directly.
Stay vigilant and protect your information. If in doubt, always contact us directly on 01260 237449 or [email protected] to verify.

We love to receive photos and updates to see your pets doing well after treatment.
This is the lovely Senna relaxing at home after being neutered last week. She is being a good girl keeping her medical pet shirt on so that she doesn’t lick her surgical wound.
Senna is a rescue dog but certainly seems to have landed on her feet and looks very happy and relaxed in her new home 🥰

** Warning graphic content! *

This sweet boy is Woody!
Woody recently came to visit us after having a few episodes of vomiting. His owner immediately brought him to Vet Claudia to be checked over.
He was found to be quite uncomfortable in his abdomen - Woody kept on stretching out and going into the “the prayer position” which can be a sign of abdominal discomfort in dogs. X-rays were then taken to check if there were any obvious abnormalities in his gut and it was at that point that the culprit was spotted! A foreign body that had made its way out of the stomach but was stuck in the small intestines! From there it was on to surgery to remove the offending item and what looked like a small toy hat was successfully retrieved from Woody’s small intestines.
Thankfully Woody’s owner acted really quickly in bringing Woody in otherwise the foreign body could’ve caused a lot more damage to the gastrointestinal system. Woody has since recovered from his operation and will hopefully only be sticking to doggy food and treats moving forward!

Everybody meet Lola! She came to see us today for her yearly Vaccination and health check.

It is often a misconception of working in a Veterinary Practice that you spend a lot of time cuddling puppies, except on Friday we did! 🥰
We were in Collie puppy heaven with this lovely litter! It did however prove to very difficult getting them to look at the camera at the same time!
They are all now ready to go to their new homes and start their sheepdog training when they are a bit older! 🐑🐾

Arthritis

See our senior wellness checks as an MOT on your classic car… but the car is furry. 🤔 Arthritis is progressive, and it is not curable, but there are several ways to improve comfort and help your cat or dog to lead a full and active life. Symptoms can indicate underlying osteoarthritis – a painful condition caused by degeneration and inflammation of the joints. We are on hand to help, please reach out and book today!

Why do cats knead

Why do cats knead❔ Kittens knead their mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow. If your cat kneads your lap during cuddles, it may indicate their connection from the secure bond with their mother to the bond they share with you. And the more they knead, the more they love you! 💗
