Happy February! The month of love โค๏ธ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿงก and no one is better named to kick off the month than Romeo ๐Ÿ˜

Romeo is a baby Italian Greyhound who saw vet Alexa recently. I think she fell in love! She says "he was a very confident little man for someone so tiny, and he has the best ears!"

Thanks Romeo for brightening up everyone's weekend and celebrating the end of January!

A guessing game to end the week!

Between 1st December and the end of the festive bank holidays (Thursday 2nd January), how many cases of induced vomiting due to poisoning from Christmas treats do you think we saw at Priory?
These are all cases where pets ate something toxic (and specifically festive, some examples in pictures!) and had to have an injection to make them sick to prevent further illness.

What do you think.....? Answer next week!

How pretty is Fern? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
She came to see us for a lap spay recently and posed beautifully for pictures. Lap spays have a quicker recovery time than traditional spays so she'll be back to her normal active self before her owners know it!

Help!
We have a stray fawn coloured French bulldog at our Christchurch hospital. He was found on Lymington Road between Highcliffe and Christchurch this afternoon. Please share and let us know if you can help get him back to his owners. Thank you!

January 24th is Change a Pet's Life Day.

We think all pet's lives are changed by being in happy, loving homes but for rescue pets, the transformation can be dramatic.

This is Doris. She was rescued by a lovely nurse called Donna who works for Priory sometimes. Her previous owners had struggled to manage Doris' skin condition, but since being rehomed Doris has lived a full, active, happy, comfortable life. Being a pug, she needs regular baths, eye treatments, a**l gland expressions, medication for a hiatus hernia and overheats in more than 14 degrees, but she repays the love and care with companionship, long walks and cuddles. Definitely a changed life ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค

Today is International Hug Day ๐Ÿค—
Do you have a dog that loves to hug? We do! Luna the Lab, who belongs to one of our vets, adores full body snuggles and regularly hijacks staff, wrestles them to ground and forces them to cuddle her ๐Ÿ˜‚
Obviously all our staff are very unwilling... ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿˆ Feel good weekend post ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค. We were lucky enough to get this lovely message from beautiful Sam's owners after he'd been to see us recently. He was a model patient and we were so happy to hear he was back enjoying his normal life

"To everyone at Priory Vets
This is just to say a huge thank you to the whole team at Priory. Everyone was incredibly helpful when Sam was poorly this week. Alexa was fantastic and I really felt like she had his best interests at heart and explained all the options to me so we could decide what to do. Imogen was also so lovely when I dropped him off to be admitted and I wasn't exactly composed about it!
I do not know the receptionists and nurses names I spoke to, but thank you to you as well as. We are so grateful for you looking after him and being so kind to us in the process.
He is now eating again (although being picky!!) and is back to cuddling up to his brother, and us, to sleep. Words cannot express how happy and grateful we are to have him home and his normal loving and cheeky self."

We are so grateful when people take the time to message us, it really gives the team a lovely boost!
Happy weekend everyone.

Not 101, but TEN Dalmatian puppies! Sound up for squeaks ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿพ

Brave Bunty had an emergency caesarean section on Wednesday evening here at Priory and all ten pups arrived safely and are doing well ๐Ÿฅฐ
If you've ever watched the film, you will know that Dalmatian puppies are born without spots! They develop them in the first few weeks and every Dalmatian's spots are a unique pattern.

Photos in comments ๐Ÿ‘‡ of a sprightly looking Bunty back to visit us today, and some proud staff members!

Happy Friday from Basil the beautiful Siamese! ๐Ÿˆ
Basil came to see us between Christmas and New Year as he was feeling poorly and had been vomiting. After a brief stay, and some cuddles with our resident Siamese expert (nurse Beth who has one of her own at home!), he was feeling much better and made it home for New Year.

You may remember that vet Maddy visited Sri Lanka on an amazing volunteering trip last year:

"In November I returned from a trip to Sri Lanka where I volunteered at , a charity providing free veterinary care for street dogs and cats! I was working with a group of volunteers from the UK alongside a team of more permanent staff based in Sri Lanka on the CNVR (catch-neuter-vaccinate-release) programme. Street dogs would be brought to the mobile clinic (which was very professional and included 4 anaesthetic machines and operating tables!), where they would be anaesthetised, neutered, vaccinated against rabies and microchipped. If necessary they would also have any wounds or skin conditions treated. Over the couple of weeks I was there we neutered 445 dogs! This will help control the roaming street dog population as well as protect the local people from rabies. I had an absolutely incredible time volunteering and met some wonderful people and some very cute patients ๐Ÿฅฐ thank you so much to everyone who generously donated to my fundraising page for We Care, it really will make a huge difference to them and to the gorgeous dogs of Sri Lanka!"

Well done Maddy for using your fabulous vet skills for such a good cause! We're all very proud of you.
As well as her time and skills, she's raised nearly ยฃ500, if you'd like to boost this further, you can make a donation to in Maddy's name here https://www.justgiving.com/page/maddy-ogden
