Imagine you are deaf. You can’t hear your smoke alarm or alarm clock. You can’t hear your text messages. You miss out on social interactions. That’s what life is like for deaf people, and it can be very isolating. A hearing dog can make a big difference. You can help our charity of the year – Hearing Dogs for Deaf People – help a deaf person leave loneliness behind, by adding a donation via Pennies when you pay by card. Just a small
donation can help deaf people escape isolation and reconnect with life. Thank you 🫶

Phew that was a busy morning!

Our practice is all about empowering the next set of students and young people safely under the eye of our very experienced clinical team .

Student vet nurse Sian was developing her anaesthetic skills under the close eye of Head Veterinary Nurse Beverly .

It was a tricky patient with lots of things that could go wrong but thanks to their eagle eyes and clinical knowledge our patient sailed through his procedure with no complications 😇

Are you as chilled as receptionist Tracey ?

Have you tried out our recently redesigned cat friendly area ? It’s got space to place your basket up high so your cat can feel safer.

The use of solid barriers means that our feline friends can feel that bit more relaxed too as they aren’t being watched by our lovely canine patients .

And you have a nice view out our waiting room window - it’s no wonder Tracey is chilling out here!

And just like that our new oxygen tent is put together 👏. PCA Tammy just needs to find a willing cat to reject it in favour of the cardboard box it came in now 🫢😃

We provide 24/7 hospital care on site in Hillsborough. We have the staff and kit to deal with everything from a nail clip to major trauma and respiratory problems .

Guide Dog Vicki is looking very grown up from our first picture with her 😍

Obviously cuddling puppies is the part of the job our reception team hate 🤫🥹🤔😉

Pixie was glad to have a nice safe bucket of grass to hide in when she was in the hospital recently.

Did you know that you can reduce stress for your rabbits by bringing them in with their bonded pair and with familiar bedding/ food?

Beautiful Pickles has a secret design insert that we thought was just excellent when she came to see us recently for her vaccinate, flea and worm treatment.

Can you spot the hidden 💗 in her colours?

Did you know that our vet Amy - aside from being an all round amazing vet - is currently undertaking advanced study in diagnostic imaging?

This certificate takes several years of training. It’s great to be able to utilise her skills to
help our patients get even more detail out of their ultrasound scans and X-rays when the answer isn’t obvious.

This training adds to our growing list of services that are just a bit ‘above and beyond ‘ the normal

We can currently offer :

🔑Laporsocopic spays
🦴Orthopaedic surgery
🎞️Endoscopy
❓Second opinions on a wide range of cases from complex medical cases to more advanced soft tissue surgery such as skin grafts or a**l sac removals

You know when your dog has had so many bandages that they feature on a cake that you’ve seen the vet a bit too much recently 😃

Ellie has had the happy news today that after an 8 week journey of wound healing she is finally signed off seeing us for a while!

Ellie’s story is below:

Her poor owner had to deal with a bit of a surprise when she appeared back from a walk dripping blood.

**warning from here on there is graphic wound detail**

Once our clinical team assessed Ellie’s wound it was clear it was ‘a bit of a wound’. Lurchers have very thin skin and Ellie had managed to deglove her entire lower chest wall 😫.

Such an effort had she made in fact that you could see her heart beating through the thin layer of muscle left. She was centimetres away from a penetrating chest wound that would have been fatal.

Our nurse team flushed the wound thoroughly and then registered vet nurse Kathy ( who has additional surgical nursing training ) assisted vet Kathryn to repair the wound . It took them both a lot of stitching and thinking to put everything back in the best way possible.

The vast majority of the wound healed very well. Unfortunately some of the skin was badly damaged and died off BUT thanks to the skill of our nursing team and their bandaging and wound care- we were able to avoid a second surgery or skin graft.

Ellie has been a model patient and her owners have been extremely good at managing what has been a long enough wound journey. We were delighted to see her signed off today- and while that alone was reward enough the cake was, as they say, the icing on the top!

Barney has been having a great time getting to know our team 🥰
Deputy Head nurse Guoda looked after some of his follow on vaccinations after he had his first vet check . As you can see there were also cuddles galore 🤩
We promise there are eyes in there underneath all that gorgeous fluff .

What can vet nurses do?

Head nurse Beverly has been caught over the last few years working hard to care for a number of patients 📸
It isn’t ’just’ cuddling them- though that is super important too!

The range of professional skills this team has is just amazing . It’s using the diagnostic imaging suite to get a clear image for the vet; it’s bandaging wounds and dressing them to prevent pressure sores ; it’s using the dental suite to scale and polish teeth - and it’s educating the next generation of student nurses .

Our nurse clinics are very busy these days as the nurses deal with everything from a**l glands to post op checks to nutrition consults 😍

Our fabulous prep team have spent the last year developing our diabetic nurse clinics. Vet Suzanne and RVN Caoimhe led this project to drive our goal of continually improving the service that we offer to our patients and their owners . Diabetes is a rapidly evolving clinical condition with lots of options available.

With fresh handouts, up to date clinical knowledge and a wide range of options for how we manage your pets diabetes - our team are excited to continue to provide excellent advice.

And we don’t just mean clinical advice- half the battle with chronic illness is knowing that someone is there to talk to about the challenges of nursing a pet with a chronic illness. Please do feel free to call our clinical team if you are a client and want to chat about any worries you have with your diabetic pet . 😍

Gorgeous puppy Joni was in visiting nurse Lauren so that her weight could be checked and an accurate dose of prescription medication for flea and worm prevention could be dispensed.

She’d just like to let you all know that she just loves snacks and gives excellent kisses 😍😍

Some of our patients who joined us this day last week for either neutering operations or dental work .

Our team love looking after your pets and you can rest assured that they are looked after like our own during their stay . Registered vet nurses monitor them throughout their anaesthetic and recovery in purpose built separate dog and cat wards.

Neutering your cat is one of the best things you can do for them, and for the welfare of the general cat population.

You can still get 20 % off spays and neuters if you are a Healthy Pet Club member 🎉
