🪥Watch Our Video and Get Brushing!🪥 Keeping your pet's teeth clean may seem a little daunting, but watch our vet Rebecca with her own dog for some useful toothbrush training tips to help make cleaning your pet's teeth a little easier. Rebecca's dog used to hate having her teeth cleaned but just look at her now! It can take a while and lots of practice with each step for your pet to become accustomed to brushing, so please be patient; don't rush, build confidence and give lots of praise. Treat toothbrush time as a happy event for your dog. ✨Always use a dog toothpaste and toothbrush which are available at our clinics.✨ 👍Cleaning teeth is important to help avoid painful dental disease from developing. 👍While familiarising your dog to brushing aim to make it a slow and positive experience. 👍Only brush if safe to do so. If concerned your dog has severe dental disease or is painful, we can advise on other options if brushing is impossible.

Rabbit Awareness Week! Housing and Environmental Enrichments Inquisitive, active and intelligent.... rabbits need to express their natural behaviour! Provide...... an earth pit....rabbits love to dig! Tree stumps, twigs & toys for playtime. Scatter food pellets in the hay & fill boxes or cardboard tubes to encourage foraging for food. Housing needs to be raised secure and an adequate size for the number of rabbits and have platforms plus hiding places like cardboard tubes etc. Provide separate areas for eating, sleeping and toileting. Visit www.rabbitwelfare.co.uk for full information on housing and outdoor run sizes.

🥕🐰Rabbit Awareness Week🐰🥕 Bugs Bunny always seemed to eat just carrots but our bobtailed friends need much more to keep them healthy and happy! Rabbit's teeth grow continuously so they need food to help grind and keep teeth at an even length. Feeding your rabbit an all in one pellet mix is best plus free access to unlimited good quality hay and grass to provide a high source of fibre, which helps the digestive system to function correctly and grind those teeth too! Fruit and vegetables can be given, but go easy as too much may cause stomach upsets. We are very happy to provide full advice on caring for and feeding your rabbits.

Birthday celebrations for our vet Rebecca! Happy Birthday!🥳

Tommy the tortoise came in for post-hibernation anorexia. After a nice bath, some syringe feeding and a tasty strawberry, Tommy is feeling much better now!

.....and here is little Chico just 10 days after his surgery which as you can see was a great success!

....and here is part 3!

Part two of Fern's spay procedure video. Part three later today.

We all understand how anxious you can feel when your pet requires an anaesthetic, but here's Jerry to put your mind at ease with a three part video featuring his own dog Fern who recently came in to be spayed. Watch part one below followed by part two and three tomorrow.

It's beginning to feel more like autumn now, so here's the last instalment of our summer hedgehog patients that arrived at our clinic with E.coli. With a course of antibiotics, prokinetics, fluids, probiotics and plenty of TLC, all fully recovered from their illness and were successfully released back to the wild. 🙂🙂 Scroll down this post to see more videos and have the sound on. Enjoy!

***26th November UPDATE......OLIVE HERE......Just thought I'd let you know I'm doing okay and have left hospital. One of the kind Moloney nurses is now caring for me at her house and giving me lots of cuddles! You have all been so generous with your donations to my care and I really can't thank you enough and am now just £150 off my target. Keep warm over the weekend lovely people it's certainly turned a bit chilly. Love Olive ###x https://gofund.me/59d7390f OLIVE'S UPDATE FROM HER HOSPITAL BED Hello lovely humans.......well here I am still in hospital trying my best to mend. I am so lucky to have lots of fuss and attention from the nurses here, which makes me feel a bit calmer but I'm still a bit worried as I haven't yet reached my goal on my gofundme page https://gofund.me/59d7390f I really don't know where I would have been without your kind donations you have made to my treatment, which so far have raised £1,165. Thank you so much.... you have made a very poorly kitty very happy but I am crossing all four paws (well two front paws as I can't move my back legs yet!) that I reach my target of £1,500. There's not too much more to go so if you can share my post far and wide please I might just make it. Have a lovely weekend and watch out for further updates on my recovery. Lots of Love Olive xx
