This beautiful tawny owl fledgling was found on the ground near Struan Lodge a few days ago. Under normal circumstances, we would advise leaving fledglings well alone, as the parents are usually around and feeding the little bird until it manages to get its wings properly coordinated..... it's a normal part of fledging and leaving the nest.

Unfortunately, this little soul was in a very dangerous situation and needing help. After being checked over by a vet, weighed and found not to have any injuries, the wee fledgling was relocated to a nest box out of the town where it has another fledgling for company, and adults feeding them.

Thanks to staff at Struan Lodge and Arthur French for assistance!

This is Charlie who came in to see us last week. He sat for us like a champ while we removed a very stubborn tick next to his eye. He was a gold star patient, well done Charlie!

This is beautiful Indie who was in with us for her spay surgery this week. We learnt from her owner at discharge that she knows how to use a human toilet, and even flush it after! We wish all our feline companions could be that smart.

A quick message from us!

We know smashing bottles and ripping cans apart can seem like a bit of fun, but left behind they are really dangerous.

We see dogs at the surgery with badly cut paws and legs from broken glass and open cans on woodland paths, shores and parks. It’s painful for them and really upsetting for their owners.

We’ve seen a few too many cut paws and lacerations recently. Pictured is Maurice and Rocky who have both had very serious injuries involving broken glass.

Please don’t break glass or rip cans in public places. If you see these, please safetly pick these up and dispose of them appropriately.

Help us keep these places safe, clean and tidy for everyone to enjoy and respect everyones right to use them! 💛
