Teme Veterinary Practice

27/12/2024

We have had a tabby cat handed in by a member of the public who we think lives in the Sandpits area, approximately 1 years old and neutered. He is microchipped but registered to a previous owner. Please contact the practice if you believe he is yours.

We have had a grey female cat in good body condition handed in to us who was found in the Ridgefield Road area of Leominster. She is not chipped so if you think she may be your cat please get in touch with us, photo confirmation will be required.

🩸 LOOKING FOR CANINE BLOOD DONORS 🩸
If you think that your dog could be a potential blood donor, please read this post…

We are looking to update our in house blood donor list😇

What does that mean?
Donating blood could possibly save a life of a patient in need of a blood transfusion. Most of our blood products are kindly supplied by a well known charity “Pet Blood Bank”… but of course, Pet Blood Bank can only supply the products if they have them, and unfortunately the donor list is not never ending and is dependent on demand… that means we sometimes have to look for donors closer to home when a patient is in crisis.

So what are we looking for?
We are looking for dogs that meet the following criteria whose owners would be willing to offer them as a potential blood donor. The criteria for a blood donor is as follows;
🩸 dogs aged 1-8 years
🩸 fit, healthy and confident
🩸 fully vaccinated
🩸 has not travelled outside of the UK
🩸 no known medical conditions and not on medication
🩸 25kg or over

There are certain breeds that are more favourable, and this is due to them having a DEA 1 negative blood type which is the desired blood type. Only 30% of dogs have a DEA 1 negative blood type! These breeds include;
🐶 Airedale terrier, boxer, Doberman, flat coat retriever, German shepherd, weimeraner and many more.

We have a current list of potential dog blood donors, but we are looking to *hopefully* update and extend this list to allow more flexibility when finding a donor.

If you think your dog could be the perfect fit, and want to know more, please call either of our practices and speak to one of our nurses to find out more😃

There will be future patients who will be SUPER grateful, and as will we as a practice for your support⭐️ (how amazing to say that your pet has potentially saved another much loved pet in need!)

Please share to spread the word!🩸 and if you want to find out more about Pet Blood Bank, you can do so by following the link:

Movember update 🥸

Here are some progress pictures of Iain and James’ attempts to grow a moustache as part of ‘Movember’ - raising awareness of prostate and testicular cancer and mental health and su***de prevention in men.

So far, the only people who like their new looks are Iain and James themselves but no doubt by the end of the month they will have grown wonderfully thick and luscious moustaches and opinions will change 👀😂

Thank you to everyone who has supported them so far and donated to the cause!

If anyone would like to donate to Movember you can do so by clicking on one of the links below which will take you to their Movember pages 🫶🏻

Thanks again!

📞*Phones still down at Tenbury Wells*📞

We would just like to remind our Tenbury Clients that unfortunately our phones are still down so any calls to Tenbury are being directed to our Ludlow practice.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this causes

This has been an ongoing saga due to buried cable being damaged and it has taken weeks to get the repairs sorted

We are hoping to have a more efficient back up internet solution sorted any day now which should mean the phones will be back and we will be able to take payment more easily

We want to thank all our clients for their continued patience whilst we work to resolve this.

🩸WARNING🩸 - photos contain blood, keep scrolling if you may be squeamish.

Cheeky Charlie 🦜 visited the Ludlow branch on Friday for a lump removal. Here are some photos of vet Rosie performing the surgery, nurse Jess monitoring Charlie’s anaesthetic and of course some photos of Charlie getting lots of TLC from Jess on recovery.

Charlie’s owner is very dedicated and even brought in a mini buster collar for Charlie to wear to prevent any wound interference!😃 we are pleased to report that Charlie recovered well and is coming back to the surgery on Monday for her first post-operative check-up🤞🏻

**Sad post**
Unfortunately we have had a female black and white cat brought into our Ludlow surgery this evening who has been involved in a road traffic accident and sadly was found deceased.
She is microchipped and when we contacted the registered owner, informed us that she had been missing for 15 months and it is very likely that someone else had been caring for her.
She was found in Yarpole. Please share, and maybe if there is someone out there who had been caring for this lady, and may be missing her, has their mind put at ease.

Iain and James are taking part in ‘Movember’ this month - raising awareness of prostatic and testicular cancer, mental health and su***de prevention in men.

They have shaved their heads, are growing a ‘Mo’ and will be running 60km in the month of November (hopefully incorporating a run between the two practices in Ludlow and Tenbury).

If you would like to donate to the cause click on one of the links below that will take you to their Movember pages.

Keep your eyes peeled for progress pictures on our page (James had to have a head start as it would take him more than a month to grow any discernible facial hair) and feel free to suggest styles that may make them look a little less scary!

Grey and cream female with no collar or chip found in Clifton on Teme.

Male Tabby and white neutered male found in Nash with no collar or chip

This male entire cat (approximately 3/4 years old) has been found in Ashford Bowdler, he doesn’t have a microchip so we have placed a paper collar on him and released him. If you believe he is yours please get in touch on 01584 872147

The lovely Alba came into the Ludlow branch today for her 2nd vaccinations, and as you can see she was a big hit with the staff. She had some lovely cuddles with James and Tamara!

Please call us on 01584 872147 for any puppy vaccination enquiries 🐾
