🎇 Vibrational Therapy in Action! 🐢

Meet Speedy — a very brave tortoise patient!

Impaction (a blockage within the digestive tract) is a relatively common issue in tortoises and can lead to reduced appetite, inactivity, and discomfort.

Vibrational therapy (as shown in the videos and images) can be a gentle and effective way to help break down the blockage and encourage things to get moving again 💩

This treatment is carried out carefully under the guidance of our veterinary team to ensure comfort and safety for the patient.

Meet 💘 Meera 🐾

This very cute puppy, Meera, visited us as she had swallowed lots of tiny magnetic balls!!

Luckily she had brought them back up, and x-rays confirmed there were none left in her stomach! Clever girl!

Meera was very happy to be fed when she was all recovered from her sedation.

Tip 3: Protect them

Microchip your pets so you can be reunited in case they are frightened and escape outside. It is a legal requirement for dogs and cats to be chipped, but remember exotic pets can also be chipped to help them find their way home in the event of an escape.

Animals can’t tell us when they are feeling stressed or scared and their stress can be even more apparent when usually quiet and peaceful night times become noisy and bright all of a sudden.

Meet ✨ Mona 🌛

Mona was brought into the practice by a caring member of the public, who had found her at just around 4 weeks old, hiding beneath some pallets!

Our amazing animal care assistant, Rozie, decided to take Mona under her wing and she's been spoiled ever since!

Keep an eye on our page to follow her story!

Pictured is Mona when handed in, and then at her 1st Vaccination appointment (where she was super brave!) at around 9 weeks old! Adorable!

Tip 2: Keep them inside
Make sure any cat flaps or doors are closed as pets can sometimes be more stressed if they’re outside during fireworks.

Animals can’t tell us when they are feeling stressed or scared and their stress can be even more apparent when usually quiet and peaceful night times become noisy and bright all of a sudden.

Tip 1: Let them hide

Provide comfortable, safe hiding places or dens around the home that pets can go to if they’re feeling scared.
