Poor Maisie suffered a bad case of fly strike last weekend but is now recovering well, we're pleased to report. The maggots had caused a large wound that had some fat poking through it below her cloaca (vent). After a good clean we put her under anaesthetic to debride all the dead tissue away and remove all maggots, and sutured her closed, (Pics in comments - not for the faint-hearted!)

Fly strike can happen very quickly when certain types of fly, attracted to warm, damp spots, messy behinds or small wounds, lay their eggs in the area. The emerging maggots eat the flesh of the poor creature they're living on. Fly strike can affect all kinds of animals - poultry, sheep and rabbits among them, and it happens very quickly. Dirty bottoms and small wounds are often the culprit so if you notice your pet has one, give it a good clean and inspection, and spray with F10 where appropriate. NB: F10 is harmful to aquatics, so we wouldn't use it on sheep, for example, because it could get into the rivers.

Keep an eye out for maggots, and if you find some, see a vet urgently.

One of our lovely clients has founded - and it's today!

Love All Budgies Day was created to honor the memory of a woman named Rose, a life-long lover of budgies from the day she got her first budgie at age 9.

You can read all about Rose and her many characterful budgies on the website (link in comments) and you can take part in Love All Budgies Day by posting a picture on social media of a budgie. “Any picture with even a millimetre of a budgie on it could under no circumstances be considered a failure!”, according to Rose. So please post a picture (here if you want to) if you've a budgie you love/have loved/known/drawn or sculpted - and use the hashtag to spread the love in memory of Rose! 💜

Here's ours, because we love them, too!

Today, we were brought an injured Green Woodpecker. Sadly, it became apparent that it had sustained neurological damage and wouldn't recover from its trauma. It was incredibly beautiful., and we thought it would be right to share the rare privilege we had of seeing its incredible plumage close up. Fly high, Woodpecker 💜😞

As it’s Rabbit Awareness Week we thought we'd share this picture of one of our gorgeous patients along with some diet tips. Many common rabbit health problems - such as gut stasis, dental issues and obesity - are caused by poor diet so it's important to get this right.

Rabbits should have

✅ Unlimited good quality hay (timothy, oat, or meadow)
✅ Daily leafy greens & safe weeds (eg dandelion, plantain, clover)
✅ Only small amounts of pellets (25g per kg of body weight)
✅ Limited fruit & root veg (carrots are a treat, not a staple!)
✅ Fresh water in a sturdy bowl, changed daily
🚫 Avoid muesli, lawn mower clippings & human snacks

Rabbits also need rabbit company, enrichment and plenty of space! 💜🐇

📚 Visit our Patient Library for plenty of free rabbit care information [http://bit.ly/3TOVYvz] or get in touch if you need any advice. Happy Rabbit Awareness Week!

This is Leopard Gecko, Eddie, being given a feed supplement by Nurse Lily. By dropping a bit of the mix on Eddie's nose for her to lick, Lily avoids having to stress her with handling. A useful tip if you also need to supplement sometimes! 💜🦎

🚑🐾Van work! Here's a pic of Charlotte and vet student Millie at work on the van recently, spaying a bitch at a client's home. Did you know? Skylark Vets was established as a mobile service at the beginning, and the clinic came later - hence the comprehensive range of services that can be provided from it 💜🏠🧐

If you'd like us to provide a home visit to you, drop us a line. We don't just do surgery on the van - health checks, vaccinations, beak and claw trims - whatever you need!

We can't say this enough. And remember, the ground temperature will be higher than the air temperature, so it will be extremely uncomfortable and damaging to paws. If you can't walk your dog very early or very late on days like these, skip the walk altogether. In addition to these tips, consider a paddling pool, a cooling mat or a cooling coat like this one modelled by Primrose, Receptionist Dawn's lovely doggo💜🐾🌞

Hello all! I'm Emily and I work with Skylark Vets, supporting them with social media, events, website, newslettters and that kind of thing. I've 'met' a fair few of you in the chats and comments since I first joined the team last March, and thought it was high time I introduced myself.

I first met Charlotte when I needed some help with one of dogs, Derek, about 7 years ago. Derek is extremely reactive and was unwell, so I was looking for a mobile service to come and treat him at home. Despite being on the very outer reaches of the Skylark mobile range, they agreed to come 🙏. He still was a very difficult patient(!) but the team were so kind, considered and tenacious that I was instantly a fan. Derek is now very well, and 'enjoys' regular care from them still to treat hypothyroidism.

I was delighted to discover that Skylark had such expertise with birds as I keep chickens and rehome quite a few from the British Hen Welfare Trust and Fresh Start for Hens, as well as other waifs and strays. My chickens, over the years, seem to have run the full gamut of ailments and got themselves into a few scrapes, so I am very grateful to have discovered Charlotte and Skylark, who have such a deep understanding of and interest in chickens.

Pics of me with Ruby (who suffered a couple of strokes and went blind but who loved her intensive care treats and love for some months), Deadly Derek (looking as if butter wouldn't melt), Wilf, who doesn't get enough press because he's a good boy, my World Horse Welfare ponies Sky and Bella; and my lovely Mimi, who was my first hen to be treated by Charlotte.

It's nice to meet you 🙂

We had a really wonderful day at Cowden Fete this weekend. The weather was glorious, we met old friends and new. We even ended up judging several categories in the dog show, which was a lot of fun! It was extraordinarily difficult, though, to choose between all the beautiful dogs in front of ust! 💜🐾🎪🚑🌞

This week has been another busy one, and quite a difficult one, too. We dealt with a number of emergencies and not all of them had the outcome we and our customers hoped for. It's part of the job, but we all know ourselves how devastating it can be to lose a pet and our hearts go out to all of you who've had to deal with pet loss - especially a sudden and unexpected one.

To leave you on a peaceful note for the weekend, this is Pete cooing and chatting on his recent visit to have an old injury checked over. Pete belongs to Vet Lauren and had much to say!

Wishing you all a good weekend! If you're looking for a day out, we'll be at the Cowden village fete tomorrow afternoon with the ambulance. It promises to be a lovely event - and we'd be very happy to see you! 💜
