🐾 Paw-ly Otto stayed with us for a lump removal on his paw today. Of course he made the most of all the love and cuddles we could give him. He especially loved snuggling up on Nurse Eleanor’s lap 🥰

Our student Izzy has begun her Dissertation, and is hoping our wonderful clients and followers wouldn’t mind helping her by taking part in a survey on the different perceptions on Pigeons within the public eye and veterinary practices.

As a Wildlife friendly veterinary practice, we are all excited to see the results of this survey and would be grateful if as many of you as possible would help Izzy in her endeavours.

🎄🐾 Is anyone else feeling festive already? Some of us at Companion Care Ely really are, including Donner the Lurcher, who came in for a bandage change with the nurses today. 🩹

…We’ve even gone as far as putting Christmas music on the radio! Has anyone else been introducing a bit of Christmas cheer yet? 🎄

🦔 This poorly young hoglet, Alfie (lovingly named by our receptionist Suzie), was admitted yesterday after being found looking a bit out of sorts, and covered in ticks and fleas. After Nurse Charlie removed over 20 ticks and treated him for external parasites, he was settled in to a cozy enclosure with plenty of food. 🤤

👩🏻‍⚕️We will continue to monitor him, test him for internal parasites and help him gain some much needed weight for winter.❄️

😻 Snuggly Melby had her spay this week. She wasn’t very impressed with her cone. But when Nurse Eleanor was cuddling her she didn’t mind it so much. 🥰

🐾 Gorgeous George came in to see Nurse Eleanor this weekend to have his a**l glands expressed. After some reassuring cuddles with his mummy, he plucked up the courage he needed to get the job done - with the help of some snuggles and treats from Eleanor too! 🥰

⭐️ Wybie was one of our Nursing team’s star patients this week. Even though he felt very poorly, he behaved like a true gentleman, and still managed to look absolutely gorgeous! We love you Wybie 🫶🐾

💥 Fireworks and your pet 💥

🐶🐱🐰Whether you have a cat, dog, small furry or bird, there are many ways you can help your pet feel safe and secure during the firework season.

Be prepared:
- 💥 Check when your local displays are so you can plan toilet breaks before and after
- 🏡 Keep pets inside from dusk: walk your pets earlier, keep cats indoors and supervise toileting in the garden.
- 🦮 Keep dogs on leads: frightened animals can bolt and get lost.
- 🐈 Ensure your dogs and cats are microchipped or microchip details are up to date, so you can be sure they will be reunited if found.
- 🎶 Close curtains and blinds, play soothing music and have the TV on to soften the noise from outside
- 🧸 Provide toys and enrichment games to keep your pets busy and distracted
- 🤗 Anxiety warps (thunder shirts or vests) apply gentle pressure to the chest to help calm your dog (as modelled by Wilfred)
- 🛌 Build a cozy den in your pet’s favourite place and provide their favourite toys, treats and bedding
- 👃 Use calming pheromone spray and plug ins like Pet Remedy which can be used for dogs, cats, small furries and birds (be sure to read user guidelines)
- 🐇 Some pets feel safer if left to hide alone but be sure to stay near to keep an eye on them.
- 🥰 Make sure you stay calm and gently reassure your pet. Fear can’t be reinforced, provide treats and cuddles to soothe them.

Veterinary help 👩‍⚕️🐱🐶:
- 👨‍⚕️ Some pets are very frightened by fireworks and may need further intervention from a veterinary professional
- 💊 If your pet suffers from extreme anxiety please call and speak to our care team about supplemental or medicinal intervention.

😻Lemmy the little lion enchanted Nurse Eleanor and Charlie yesterday. At 5 months old he’s already a big boy! We think he’s going to be a BFG 🥰

🐾He came for his microchip implant and was a trooper. He didn’t notice anything beyond his Dreamies and Lick-e-lix! We can’t wait to watch him grow up 😍

🐾 Teddy charmed all the nurses this week when he came to stay with us for his Dental Scale and Polish. We were all fighting over the chance so snuggle and hand feed him 🥰

🐾 We think beautiful Bella truly lives up to her name. She came to see Nurse Charlie this week for a post op check up after her spay, and is doing very well.

💔 Bella had a tough start in life. Not long after her mum gave birth, the family were dumped in a field that was undergoing work. This very tragically resulted in the litter being orphaned. Luckily she has found and loving forever home with a wonderful family.
