𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗠 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: We have been made aware that someone is calling people claiming to be from Donaldsons Vets to say we have their lost pet and they need to pay a vet bill over the phone before they can collect their animal. This is a particularly cruel scam as the caller(s) are giving the owner the hope that their animal has been found, as well as trying to take their money.

Sadly we believe whoever is making these calls is researching social media platforms for lost pets and targeting the owners.

Please be cautious if you ever receive such a call - it is unlikely to be genuine. If you are concerned, hang up and call us back on OUR number so you know you are definitely talking to one of our team.

This is Shortbread,

He is a 5-year-old Labradoodle, who came in on Christmas Eve because he was lethargic and off his food. 🥲

He was diagnosed with immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) and thrombocytopenia (IMTP)

He had a blood transfusion from a staff dog on Christmas day and then had a further 2 blood transfusions with the blood from the pet blood bank in the following days.

He has been on a lot of medication and had regular appointments and checks at our veterinary hospital as we reduced his medication.

But he has finally been signed off today after nearly 7 months. 😁😁😁

Go Shortbread!! ❤🥰❤️

If you would like to find out more about how your pet can donate blood, please visit https://www.petbloodbankuk.org/

Calling all un microchipped cats!! 🐱🐱🐱
We are running feline microchipping clinics at our Somerset Hospital throughout June.
It is now a legal requirement for all cats over 20 weeks to be microchipped, including all indoor cats, or you risk paying a hefty fine!
Cat collars and tags are susceptible to loss or removal, microchipping offers a permanent and reliable method of identifying your cat, significantly boosting the chances of being reunited with their owners. Additionally, it grants immediate access to owner details in case of an emergency requiring treatment for your pet.
***Once microchipped you must register your details into the microchipping database. Please speak to your vet for more information***

Meet Taz, this lovely boy belongs to one of our Student Veterinary Nurses. He has been the most well behaved model today, helping his mum practice a variety of different bandaging techniques, a very important skill to have as a veterinary nurse.
🤕 As you can see, he was very good at playing the role of poorly pup, but he’s a happy boy really and we paid him with lots of love, attention and treats! 🦮🐶🐾💕
