It’s Christmas Jumper Day! πŸŽ…πŸŽ„πŸ˜

Today, you might have observed that many of our staff have proudly worn their vibrant and creative Christmas jumpers to celebrate Christmas Jumper Day

In the spirit of giving, we also took this opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause. Staff generously donated to Vetlife, an incredible independent charity dedicated to providing free and confidential support to those in the UK veterinary community facing emotional, health, or financial challenges.

It was wonderful to see everyone come together, spreading joy and goodwill while supporting such an important charity. What a lovely way to celebrate the season!

Do you have any spare blankets or throws you could donate?

We are currently in need of blankets or throws for our furry friends. πŸ±πŸΆπŸ’•

Please note that we cannot accept duvets, which are difficult to wash and dry properly. Additionally, we kindly ask that you refrain from donating bath mats.

Donations can be sent to any of our surgeries, and we will distribute them.

Donaldson's vets are proudly taking part in an Antibiotic Amnesty campaign, launched by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance (RUMA) and sponsored by Zoetis.

This initiative invites our clients to return unused or out-of-date (OOD) antibiotics to the surgery. β™»

πŸ’ŠπŸ’ŠπŸ’ŠWhy participate in the Antibiotic Amnesty? πŸ’ŠπŸ’ŠπŸ’Š

Protecting the Power of Antibiotics: πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Antibiotics are crucial for treating bacterial infections and have saved countless lives. It is essential to use antibiotics wisely to ensure they remain effective when most needed.

Ensuring Safe Disposal of Unused Antibiotics: πŸ’ŠπŸ’ŠπŸ’Š

Studies reveal that leftover antibiotics are rarely returned to pharmacies or vets and are often discarded in household waste or flushed away.
Antibiotic residues found in rivers around the world may contribute to antibiotic resistance (AMR) and harm water quality, aquatic life, and wildlife.
An Antibiotic Amnesty raises awareness of AMR and promotes responsible disposal, helping to reduce environmental pollution.
The improper use of leftover or expired antibiotics can lead to adverse effects, increase the risk of AMR, and delay accurate diagnosis.

Let's unite to preserve the power of antibiotics! πŸ’ŠπŸ’ͺπŸ’Š
These vital medicines should be used with careβ€”prescribed only when necessary, taken only for the duration required, and disposed of responsibly.

Together, we can ensure antibiotics continue to work for generations to come! 😁

⚠⚠ We have recently been alerted that YuMOVE and Pro-Kolin have had counterfeit products sold on Amazon and eBay ⚠⚠

Counterfeit products often fail to meet quality standards and can contain harmful ingredients, posing risks to pet health.

The lack of regulation makes these items potentially dangerous, which may result in an emergency treatment

We encourage pet owners to purchase from veterinary practices to ensure their pets' safety and well-being

One of our vets encountered a concerning situation when her dog came across a discarded cigarette butt that had been thrown into their garden.

Seeing the cigarette butt in her dog's mouth she quickly removed it.

However, within just 15 minutes, the situation took a turn for the worse as the dog began to exhibit troubling signs of ni****ne poisoning.

She started vomiting violently and showed abnormal tremors. As her condition deteriorated, she became increasingly uncoordinated, exhibiting ataxia, which made it difficult for her to stand or walk properly.

Recognising the urgency of her symptoms, the vet swiftly transported her to Somerset Road Hospital for emergency treatment. There, she received the vital medical care needed to counteract the effects of the toxin.

Thanks to the vet's quick actions, her dog has successfully overcome the crisis and has made a complete recovery.

Ni****ne toxicity can be lethal.

Please keep all cigarettes/tobacco products and all other ni****ne products including vapes, patches and gum, out of the reach of your pets.

If your pet has eaten any ni****ne products contact your vet immediately!
