Harvest mites: they're starting early this year! They often work their way into the fur between the toes of your dog, sometimes found on the face. You might see them as tiny little orange dots. They can cause itching. Rarely can be associated with SCI (Seasonal Canine Illness). Look out for them 🧐 Here's a photo of one we removed from a cocker spaniel's paw yesterday 😬

Seems like it might start early this year. Here's a collection of seeds collected from our waiting room floor after they were carried in by various dogs! After every walk check your dog's fur for these pesky grass seeds. They can cause discomfort, pain and injuries depending where they get to. Paws, ears, eyes, armpits are their favourite places to hide.

**STRAY KITTEN** Today a stray kitten was brought into our Bessacarr branch. Roughly 14 weeks old, we're desperately trying to find its owner. We've deliberately kept the details vague as we really need to be sure that the kitten gets back to his or her family. Please share and contact us if you've lost a friendly lovely playful kitten, we're sure there's a family missing them!!! TIA 😻

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS, regulatory body for the veterinary profession in the UK) has introduced new guidance on prescribing prescription-only medicines. The full guidance can be found on: https://www.rcvs.org.uk/.../advi.../under-care-new-guidance/

The new guidance requires that a physical examination of the pet has to be performed every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasiticides are prescribed. This includes topical preparations such as ear and eye drops, and all prescription flea/worm/tick products.

The guidance is an important step towards ensuring responsible antimicrobial use and reducing the veterinary impact on the wider issues of global antibiotic resistance and decline of insect populations.

What this means in practice is that your pet will need to come in for an in-person consultation every time:
- we need to prescribe medication for an ear infection (as most contain antibiotics)
- we need to prescribe antibiotics for any skin problem, even if it's a chronic problem
- we/you decide to change from one flea/worm/tick product to another
- we suspect an urinary tract infection (remote/telephone consultation and urine analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)
- we suspect gastrointestinal infection (remote/telephone consultation and faecal analysis/culture are no longer sufficient)

For long term prescription medication that is not an antimicrobial/antiparasitic, our usual policy of requiring and examination every 6 month (or every 3 months in some less stable or more serios cases) continues to apply.

The consultations are charged at our usual fee, depending on whether it's an initial consultation or one for a recurring problem.

If you have any questions or concerns about the new guidance, RCVS can be contacted on 020 7202 0789 or [email protected]

Monday, September 19th. We will remain open for urgent and emergency care. If you require veterinary advice or help please give us a call during our normal working hours 8am - 7pm.

We are saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and although the majority of businesses are observing the bank holiday to commemorate her life we need to remain open so we are still here for you and your pets. We will observe a 2 minute silence and the practice will be kept as quiet as possible throughout the day as a mark of respect.

Thanks for your understanding.
