I can't tell you how many times a week (or even per day) I'm super excited to see my Favourite Patient.... I really mean it when I tell every single one that they are the best boy/girl ❤️

We are so lucky to have our dogs (and cats!) share our lives. Post a photo of your best dog/cat(s) below!

PS nobody feels like this about their pet 100% of the time...... when their recall disappears, they bring a mouse into your house, or decide to scoot their bum on the carpet.... 😅 but despite this, like your human family, you can still love them beyond all measure!

When we lose a beloved pet, it can feel as though they’ve disappeared completely. For some of us, the Rainbow Bridge idea offers comfort. But what if this idea doesn't resonate with you? Physics to the rescue!

Hardcore science gives us ways of thinking about reality, time, and connection that can offer comfort.

String theory suggests that our universe may not be the only one. Instead, there could be many, each with its own version of events. In one, your pet may still be alive and well—curled up in their favorite spot, or running joyfully toward you. We can’t step into that world, but knowing that reality might hold more than what we see here and now can give us space to imagine that our companions are not entirely gone.

Relativity shows that time is not a simple line moving forward. Past, present, and future are all part of one larger structure, bound together like the pages of a book. That means the moments you shared with your pet—their warmth beside you, their playful energy, their quiet companionship—are not lost. They remain part of the fabric of spacetime, always there, always real.

Quantum entanglement reveals that when two systems interact, they become linked. Even if they move apart, they can no longer be fully described on their own. Through contact, particles change each other for ever. This isn’t just an abstract idea—it reflects the physical closeness you had with your pet. Every time you stroked their fur, shared a bed, or breathed in rhythm with them, your bodies exchanged energy and particles. Your nervous systems adapted to one another. On the smallest scales, some of your particles became entangled with theirs; on larger scales, your physiology and emotions became tuned together. These links don’t simply vanish. They remain part of you, carried forward in your body, your memories, and even in the quantum connections that distance cannot undo.

Taken together, these ideas suggest that separation is not as final as it feels. Your pet still exists in the larger weave of reality. The time you shared is preserved in the universe itself. And the bond you formed remains present in you—not just as memory, but as a lasting physical connection.

Our day started with a rainbow bridge crossing 🌈

It is always hard to say goodbye to a patient we love, even if we know the time is right. I am going to miss her pure sweetness, and I know she leaves a huge hole behind in a beautiful family who adored her.

I hope there are plenty of ducks🦆 to chase over the bridge, and infinite treats 🦴

It is getting to that time of year when I can point out many of my favourite herbal medicines to the children on our walks.

Who knows what this lovely plant is, and what we might use it for?

A sad hedgehog story today 😢
This poor wee girl was brought in by a kind person who spotted her on the beach at Fisherrow being attacked by flies and wasps.

We immediately gave her pain relief and anaesthetised her to assess if treatment would be possible. She was crawling with maggots (you can see them here moving her spines) and very thin. She was missing one front leg, with an open fracture. We are so grateful that she was brought in so we could end her suffering quickly and painlessly.

If you see a hedgehog out in the day, in a weird place, or looking in any distress PLEASE bring them to us. We will treat them if it is at all possible, and if not we can help them pass over the rainbow bridge with much less suffering 🌈🐾. Another huge thank you to the kind person who brought her to us.

Yesterday, we had one of our younger patients in for the day, and our oldest registered patient!

Beautiful River (2yo) was in for her spay (ovarectomy) and wanted belly rubs and a pillow to rest her head on while she recovered.🐶

Charlie (18yo) came in for some diagnostic tests. He demanded head scritches and LOTS of food as soon as he woke up!😽

Tailored individual care for every patient every time 🥰
