It's almost the weekend, so what better way to see it in by meeting our final nursing team! ✨
Here's a little thursday pick me up in the form of our Honiton nurses 💁🏼♀️
They may be a smaller team but they are no less mighty and we think a few of these favourite snacks will confirm that 😅 anyone else for pickles? 🤔 take a look....

It's a new day, it's a new week, so we're introducing a new team! 💚
Continuing on from meeting our Tiverton nurses, everyone please say a warm hello to our Cullompton team who are always there to brighten up a Monday! Because we all know Monday madness is a real thing in this industry! 😽
And what's their Monday motivation we hear you ask!? Well that's simple, again it's all food related 😉...take a look!

In the lead up to world veterinary day we want to introduce the team behind the vale, the people that hit the ground running and keep the vale turning! 💚
Starting with our Tiverton nurses!! You may recognise some of these friendly faces 👀 or if you don't, take this opportunity to please say hello!
We asked them to introduce themselves, their job role and what snack keeps them going through the busy days and hard graft 💪🏼 because trade secret for you...where the snacks go, the nurses go! Take a look! 😊

👋Meet Lark
👋 Meet Lark
🐾Lark got a thorn in his paw while out on a walk and almost immediately couldn’t put any weight on his foot.
👨⚕️Larks lovely owners brought him to The Vale where we sedated him, carefully removed the thorn and sent him home with some painkillers.
✨Do you check your dog’s paws after a walk ?Checking for lameness aswell as checking their paws for any wounds or foreign objects!

*TW: Blood*
🩸Blood tests are an essential part of our work.
💉They allow us to gain all sorts of information that isn’t clear on just a health check. This includes checking your pet’s liver and kidney levels and whether their red and white blood cells are working correctly.
🔎These tests can also pick up all manner of diseases. Sadly blood sampling can often be quite stressful for our patients as they don’t understand why we are having to restrain and shave them. We do our best to make this experience as positive as possible, which includes gentle handling, sweet talking and of course lots of treats!
🐾Here we have Barelli the bengal who is being extremely brave and allowing us to obtain a sample with no restraint at all! He is a lovely example of what fear free handling can achieve.

Today is International Dog Day 🐾
Here are some of our furry friends owned by our staff at The Vale 🦮🐩🐕🦺
🐾Teddy’s owners were concerned when he started suddenly sneezing violently.
After some sedation we were able to use a scope to visualise inside the nasal passage, and removed this extremely long piece of grass
Teddy has made a full recovery ❤️🩹
Take a look at this video, created by our talented team, on how to remove a tick should you find one👀
🐈⬛ Feline Osteoarthritis (OA) 🐈⬛
🐈 1 in 4 cats show signs of OA
🐈 There are many treatment options that will help to keep your cat comfortable
🐈 The signs of OA are not always obvious, this video will illustrate what subtle changes to look out for
🐈⬛ If you feel that your feline may be showing the signs discussed in the video, our veterinary team would be happy to talk about this further in your next consultation 🐈⬛
As we draw to an end of veterinary Nurse awareness month, we have one final video from one of our partners Alan.
In recognition of Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 🙂
