We have loved seeing our festive looking patients this week! 😍🎄🎅🏻🦌 The three pictured here were visitors to our Quedgeley surgery over the last 24 hours (one for their monthly arthritis injection and the others were in for their regular flea and worming prescriptions).

Most of staff will be having a well earned break over the next two days but there is always a vet on call should your pets need us- please just call the usual number to speak to a member of staff or for details on how to contact the duty vet (full details of our Christmas opening hours can be found our website).

We’d also like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for all the cards and gifts we have received over the last few weeks, we have been truly spoiled 😊

Finally, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, from all the staff at SPA Vets!

We are VERY happy to announce that the cat was safely rescued from the tree…

HUGE thanks goes to Jacob Moore of Gloucester Garden Services for climbing the very tall tree and rescuing the terrified (and likely traumatised) cat! 👏🏻🥳🦸🏻

The cat was examined by our vet, Tania, at the time of the rescue and she had suffered no physical effects of her ordeal 😅

We would also like to thank Kenny Carpenter of KC Painting & Decorating who also volunteered to go out, only moments after we received the first call offering help.

We also want to thank everyone who tagged and shared and offered suggestions our post. We were completely helpless in this instance and were unable to find help from the likely sources; the power of Facebook, animal lovers and local heroes saved the day… and this cat!!

UPDATE to the post below- we have just taken a call from a tree surgeon based in Quedgeley who is on their way to help this cat now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of vets is going too so they can assess the cat once she has been retrieved.
We will post more updates as and when we get them.

We are desperately in need of some help to retrieve a cat which has been stuck at the top of a tree in Painswick Road for over 24 hours. One of our vets managed to climb 3/4 of the way up the 15 meter leylandii before the trunk become too thin to support her and she had to abandon her attempt.

The owners have already tried the fire service and RSPCA who have both said they are unable to help.

Does anyone know anyone with a 'cherry picker' or similar who may be able to assist? The cat has so far endured a torrential downpour, being dive bombed by crows as well as the drop in temperature overnight. We are concerned about the cat's safety but are unable to reach her.

If anyone could offer any assistance, we'd really appreciate some help with this one. Please call 01452 529480.

Our phones will be diverted to the Out of Hours service at 5:30pm so after this time, please comment below. A member of staff will check this page throughout the evening and will liaise directly with the owner if a solution presents itself.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Now is a good time to check and order any prescription medication your pet may need 💊

Dear Pet Owners,

Re: Repeat Prescriptions

We kindly ask that any repeat medications, including flea and worm treatments, are ordered in advance.

This can be done online using the link below or by leaving a message with our voicemail service. To order by phone, please call the usual number (01452 529480 for our Painswick Road surgery or 01452 883727 for our Quedgeley branch) and select Option 2. Leave your name, pet’s name, first line of your address and the medication you require. The actual drug names are not necessary; ‘Fido’s flea tablets’ or ‘Kitty’s thyroid treatment’ is usually all we require.

We ask that you allow us 24 hours before collecting (or 48 hours for ‘controlled’ drugs such as epilepsy treatments, tranquilisers, etc.).

Unfortunately, we are unable to call you when the prescription is ready for collection and we will only call you back if there is a query with your request- if you do not hear from us, you can assume the prescription will be ready to collect the following day.

Thank you for your co-operation; it makes the process much smoother for us all.

Request a repeat supply of long-term medication for your pet.

We would like to make Quedgeley clients aware that the Gloucester Highways have informed us that Bristol Road will be closing on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th November from 7pm until 7am. The closure will be from the Fieldcourt roundabout to the Tescos roundabout.

Any clients who are coming to a later appointment on either if those evenings would be advised to park on School lane and walk over to our car park from there.

Please give us a call on 01452 883727 if you need any further clarification.

Many thanks

**LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME**
Pedro was brought to us as a stray and was very scared and reacted very negatively towards any affection. During the time he has spent with us, he has started to come out of his shell and show his loving side, as you can probably tell by these pictures ❤️
Pedro is looking for a home with someone who can be patient with him, and ideally, no other pets or children.
If you would like to come and meet Pedro and offer him a home, please call our Painswick road surgery on 01452 529480.
