Sadly Freddie was found, deceased after a road traffic accident. Thank you for all your help and sharing.

Please keep your eye out for this one. His name is Freddie and he is about 8 or 9 years of age. We are not sure if he has a chip or not. He likes to wander and we are sure he visits other houses. He has been missing since Saturday 6th July from Lilford Street, WN7 4JN. He isn't neutered and looks a bit dirty as he spends more time outside unless it's winter time and he has a slight limp as one of his pads is sore.

With 7 weeks to the deadline, a third of cat owners in England are unaware their pet will be required by law to be microchipped! Contact us today to make an appointment!

Microchipping Your Pet

Did you know that you can be fined up to £500 if your dog is not microchipped or registered with accurate details.
Accurately microchipped dogs are 54% more likely to be reunited with their owners if they go missing.
All horses, ponies and donkeys in England, Wales and Scotland must be microchipped by law too.
It is thought that only 20% of rabbits in the UK are microchipped. Microchipping highly increases your chances of being reunited if they ever escape of get stolen.
In June this year it will become law in England that all cats are microchipped too - don't delay, request an appointment today by following the below link below:

Osteoarthritis pain can be a serious health problem for your cat. And cats hide almost everything, especially pain. You know your cat’s playful ways and what they love better than anyone. Changes in these behaviours could be signs of osteoarthritis pain. Just as in humans, chronic pain negatively impacts your cat’s quality of life, not just physically, but also emotionally. Osteoarthritis pain can affect cats of any age, and it has been seen in more than 60% of cats that are 6 years or older. If left untreated, the pain can become worse over time.
As your vet, we rely on you to report changes in your cat’s behaviour for more accurate diagnosis. If it is found that your cat is showing signs of OA-related pain, helping your cat begins by booking an appointment with the vet. The good news is that by identifying your cat’s condition, you and your vet can develop an appropriate treatment plan for your cat.

FOUND

This little old lady has been brought to us by a kind member of the public to be checked for a chip but unfortunately, she doesn't have one. She was found in Croft wearing a pink jumper and a brown collar. It may be that the owner is elderly and doesn't use Facebook.

Please share and hopefully we can find her owners soon. If you are the owner please contact Nina or Anna at the Leigh Surgery on 01942 673777.
Thank you

Thinking of adopting an Easter Bunny?
While they can make wonderful pets, it’s important to remember that rabbits are exotic animals that require a lot of care. Domestic rabbits can live up to 12 years of age. Rabbits are very sensitive to noise and need to be handled with care. Children should not be in charge of taking care of them. Additionally, rabbits require a lot more care than you may expect… They need a big space (very bare minimum of 3x3x1m), or could be kept free inside your home. Bunnies should be toilet-trained - just like cats and dogs. You need to clean their hutch every day, including disinfecting their water and food bottles with rabbit-safe products. They require frequent nail trims and dental check-ups from your vet. Rabbits need to be let out of their cage daily to play and exercise. Bunnies love playing with their toys and digging around in their enclosure. Ensure you provide adequate entertainment. They need their hair brushed daily to avoid mats. They need to eat plenty of fresh veg and hay, in addition to their feed. “All-in-one” solutions are not conducive to a healthy bun. Bunnies are companion animals, so ideally should be kept as a pair. Before adopting a bunny, please ensure that you are ready to commit to providing the care that they need. If you are thinking of adopting a bunny, please feel free to contact us and attend our free nurse led Rabbit Club for information and advice.
We hope you and your family have a great Easter!

Valentine's Day is traditionally an opportunity to shower the ones we love with gifts - usually in the form of chocolates and flowers. Although some of us may love our pets enough to warrant gifting them this Valentines, it is important to remember the dangers of these agents to our pets. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, cats and rabbits (among many other species), and most flowers will (at least) cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested. Notable toxic flowers to mention are lilies (causing renal failure in cats, and possible gastrointestinal upset in dogs) - even exposure to the water which lilies are kept in is extremely dangerous for cats.
