Ozzy the cat had been off adventuring for a few weeks and was brought into our Arbroath surgery yesterday for some flea and tick treatment. He had picked up some
matts on his adventures and had an impromptu brush and a few matts clipped out.

He seemed very appreciative and was super chilled!

Good boy Ozzy 😻

Vets Fiona and Johanna saw these lovely chickens recently at Arbroath. They required a slight wing clip to prevent any mass chicken run-esque type escapes.

It’s ok girls you’re safe from Mrs Tweedy now!

Grass seed season is upon us once again 🌱 Grass seeds might look small and innocuous but they can cause problems. If your dog has been in long grass, always check them for grass seeds after the walk. They are often found caught in the hair or in armpits, paws etc. If you find one that has stuck into the skin causing a wound/or a swelling that looks like it could contain one, book an appointment with us. It’s so important to remove grass seeds quickly, because their ‘arrow’ shape means they can pierce through skin, enter the body and travel around causing problems.

Bouncer had been scratching at his ears and shaking his head. His owners quickly realised that something was amiss and called us for an appointment. Poor Bouncer had 2 grass seeds down his ear so came in to our Barnhill surgery to have them removed under sedation by Vet Dawn assisted by Senior RVN Janet.

Once sedated Dawn used an oroscope to locate the grass seeds then guided by the oroscope used forceps to gently remove the offending seeds.

Happy to report Bouncer is much happier now.

If you notice your dog behaving differently or scratching his/her ears, holding one ear lower than the other or a sudden swelling or wound, please give us a call sooner than later.
