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.

We thought you might to see some of our more unusual patients from today…

The super-tiny blue tit chick (weighing only 7g!) was brought in after it was found caught in a wheel! This little one has a badly bruised leg but has had the smallest conceivable dose of anti-inflammatories and was eating shortly after.

The next was a juvenile magpie. No obvious injuries but was severely underweight at 129g- he took food straight away so suspect something happened to his parents.

The last of our wild patients for today was a giant male hedgehog, weighing 875g! He has a nasty abscess and is receiving painkillers and antibiotics and we are hoping for a full recovery. We didn’t get a photo of him whilst he was out receiving his treatment, and didn’t want to disturb him again unnecessarily, so apologies for a photo of a few spines and some newspaper!

All three will be heading to RSPCA Oak and Furrows over the next day or two to continue their treatment in a specialist environment before they return to the wild.

We are very happy to look after injured or orphaned wildlife you may come across. At this time of year, baby birds are leaving their nests but please be aware that baby birds cannot fly when they first leave their nests- this is perfectly normal! If you find a baby bird, please watch from a distance and see if mum and dad are around. If an adult has not been seen after about half an hour, please put them in a dark box and contact us or a wildlife rescue for further advice.
