Lovely lad Tosca has been in to see us to have his sinus cavity flushed under anaesthetic. You can see from the picture how sore it was but he's now back to good form. His owner sent us the picture of him at full health, and of his favourite girlfriend, who loves to get involved in a good piano concerto! 💜🐓

This incredibly beautiful kestrel, Jacko, came in to see us recently and we just had to share his picture. He is breathtaking.💜

It's been a busy year at Skylark Vets! Some great new team members, a wedding, a storm, and, of course, many wonderful pets and their owners. Here are a few of our favourite snapshots from 2024. Thank you for giving us the privilege of helping you care for your pets in the good times and the bad. We wish you and your pets a happy and healthy year in 2025 💜

As Christmas comes near and we approach the conclusion of another busy year, we take a moment to take stock of those things that really matter. Our thoughts are with the many of you who have lost beloved pets and other family members this year. Our grief eventually fades, but the effect that those individuals have on us is life-long: they will forever be in our hearts.

There have been many happy occasions for us and clients this year, too: marriages, new additions to the family, and heart-warming stories of your pets recovering from particularly nasty conditions. We congratulate you all on those rewarding times, and hope you find the greatest fulfilment going forward!

As ever, we are so proud to be a part of this community of wonderful pet owners and caring people, and to serve you as best we can. We are grateful for our good fortune in our beautiful rural location, delighted to be able to help those who are not always able to physically go to a vet (for a variety of reasons), and we look forward to seeing you all during the course of 2025.

We wish you all a tremendously happy Christmas, good health for the coming year, and a year of shared delight with your pets!

We couldn't resist sharing this lovely picture of Woody and Dexter which their owner sent us today. How cute are these two?!! 💜🎄🎅💜🐰🐶🎅💜

Nurse Grace really hit it off this week with Koko, a retired and recently rehomed greyhound. Koko had damaged her tail on rehoming day so came to see us for treatment straight away. These lovely pictures were too good not to share! 💜🥰

Lovely Dinky Duck, peeking out from her carry case here, *is* actually a Peking duck and wanted to show us why her breed is so named 🤪😉🙃

Dinky was suffering from a bad case of coelomitis (you might know it as egg or egg yolk peritonitis) and had to undergo major surgery to remove multiple masses from her abdomen caused by eggs that hadn’t formed properly. Surgery went well. She thoroughly enjoyed her post-op menu and we are delighted to report that she is recovering well. 💜🦆

*UPDATE* Our landline should now divert automatically to the clinic mobile number.

Overnight a tree has taken down our telephone lines. We are working on getting this fixed!

We are open as normal. Please use our mobile number 07443 929395 to contact us.

It's been extremely blustery here, leading to a tree falling across the fences, road and car park area. With team work, we've cleared a path. You can now get in and park again! Please note that the phone lines are also currently down - we will try to get these back up and running asap but please use the mobile number for now: 07443929395.

Do remember that many species need to be kept warm at this time of year - especially if leaving a cosy set up at home as Dottie had to last week when she had an appointment with us at the clinic.

Dottie's owner had the great idea of setting her travel cot on an electric cushion to keep her warm for her outing. We thought it was an ingenious solution and an idea some of our other clients might borrow - so we're sharing it. And Dottie is very cute, too! 💜🐢❄😍

Please make a note of planned closures for the Christmas period. We'll be back to business as usual from 2 January 2025! 💜🎄🎅⛪☃❄️🐹🦜🐶🐯🐭🐾

**UPDATE** Owner has been in contact and the cat is now back at home. Thank you. 💜

Please share.

This young ginger and white cat has just been handed into us. He was almost run over on Four Elms Road by the doctor's surgery. A kind driver stopped to prevent injury. We do not believe he is injured, but a full vet exam will be carried out later this morning.

If this is your cat or you know the owner please contact Skylark vets on 01732 863229.

Picasso, a Panther Chameleon, popped in to say hello this week and took quite a shine to Charlotte! 💜
