Macqueen Vets

Small animal first opinion and referral practice in Devizes, Wiltshire. In the year 2000 we moved into brand-new, purpose built premises on the edge of Devizes.
(44)

Ian and Jacky Macqueen established the practice in 1990, convinced that a small companion animal practice could provide the highest standards of veterinary care. We have always aimed to combine the most up-to-date techniques and products with a compassionate attitude to patient and client. Our criterion has always been "what would we want for our pet?" and each patient receives the same care that

we would give our our own cherished companions. We now work in a well-designed, light-filled building surrounded by our large green garden and car park, with beautiful views stretching across the downs and the Millennium White Horse is a familiar friend. The spacious interior gives us the chance to expand and grow toward that which is closest to our hearts: providing the best possible care for your pet, through knowledge, technology and compassion.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month - this extends to pets too!

We'll be sharing lots of information over the month, so let's get started!

What are the symptoms?

In the early stages, the most common symptoms are increased thirst and increased drinking (this may lead to mild urinary incontinence, especially overnight); increased hunger and weight loss. Pets can also be prone to repeated urinary tract infections.

If untreated, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can occur. Symptoms are loss of appetite, lethargy, depression, dehydration, vomiting, collapse which can become fatal.

The last day of Guinea Pig Awareness Week 2024!

We hope you’ve enjoyed the facts we’ve shared this week, and thank you to those who’ve shared photos of your pet pigs at home!

GPAW is supported by charities such as the Blue Cross and RSPCA, along with Burgess Excel pet food to promote awareness of these much loved pets!

Make sure you take a look at the Guinea Pig Awareness Week website for more information if you’re planning on getting one of these wonderful creatures, or if you’re already an owner and are looking for any advice on feeding, housing, bonding and more!

Day 4 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week! Isn’t it flying by?!

Todays topic is mites and lice! Like our dog and cat companions, guinea pigs can also be affected by these pesky pests!

The two common guinea pig fur mites are Trixacarus caviae (sarcoptic mange mite) and Chirodiscoides caviae. These can cause serious skin problems for our pigs!

Checks should be done daily, but If you notice any changes in your guinea pigs fur or skin, such as missing fur patches, itching more than usual, sore areas or see lice amongst the guineas coat, contact your vet! 🐜 🐹

Day 3 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week!

Today we’re talking teeth! 🦷

The really special thing about guinea pig teeth is that they never stop growing! While our human teeth stay the same size and shape throughout our adult life, guineas teeth grow continuously at a rate of 1-2mm per week!

This makes it really important to have a lot of fibre in their diet, in order for their teeth to be worn down.

Sadly, as the photos attached show, we do see guinea pigs with severe dental problems, which often requires veterinary treatment.

If you’re concerned about your guinea pigs teeth, give us a call to book in with one of our vets for a consultation: 01380 728505 🦷💕

Happy day 2 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week 2024!

Did you know, guinea pigs make a range of noises to communicate with each other?

Guineas should be kept in groups, as they’re very social creatures! You’ll often hear them chatting amongst themselves as a way of communication.

See below a photo of Lead Nurse Marie’s group of guineas! Also known as a “herd”

Share your guinea photos with us in the comments! 🐹💕

When you see your dog having a seizure, this is understandably very distressing! 🐕🐾 In a second, they are ok, and the next, they seem to have lost control of their body. This is most often caused by idiopathic canine epilepsy, which means we don't what's causing the seizures. However, prompt treatment should be sought, as repetitive seizure activity might become an emergency. Please call us as soon as you suspect or see that your pet has had a seizure!

What pet insurance can mean for you and your pet. 🩺 It truly is a privilege to own and care for a pet. However, you must consider the different costs when becoming a pet owner. Even when you have everything planned and budgeted, you cannot predict the future and any unexpected veterinary or pet-related costs that might arise.

Unneutered female dogs are at risk of womb infections due to the hormones produced during their normal reproductive cycle ♀️ 🐕 This is one of the reasons why we recommend that owners always consider neutering their pets, unless they are planning on breeding! If your pet isn’t neutered, keep an eye out for the signs in our video, and call us if you have any concerns. 📲

Our golden oldies might start slowing down as the years go by but don’t chalk this up to old age! Talk to us, and together we can find the best treatment plan to help your pet remain pain-free and mobile for as long as possible 📲
