🏆 OUR OCTOBER BRAVEHEART 🏆

The gorgeous Halo 😇

Halo is a rescue pet and a very nervous one! Every time she comes in to see us she cowers behind her brother and sister 😭 She recently came in for a procedure and we feel like we finally gained her trust (for all of half a day) but for us a win is a win!

Well done lovely Halo 🩷

Remember, remember your pets this November!

😿 Keep cats locked in before it gets dark - cats are easily spooked, keeping them safe inside prevents them hiding and getting stuck somewhere unfamiliar or possibly running onto the road.

🐕‍🦺 Dog walks - walk your dogs as early as possible, ideally before sunset, to limit the chances of fireworks being set off whilst you’re out and about. Negative experiences are difficult the erase!

🏠 Close your curtains and blinds - this helps with sound proofing.

🦴 Toys - these can help distract those nervous pets, especially if they are super enriching like puzzle feeders.

🐰 Rabbits and guinea pigs - if they live outside, temporarily bring them inside if possible! Our small furries can get extremely stressed by loud noises. If you can’t bring them inside, cover their enclosure with towels or blankets to block out as much sound as possible and will act as a visual barrier as well.

☺️ Maintain the routine - act like nothing is happening! Our pets sense our mood and respond accordingly, the calmer you are, the calmer they will be!

💤 Calming aids - pheromone plug ins, room sprays or nutraceuticals can be helpful to ease those nerves.

🚫 Don’t reward nervous behaviours - it’s understandable if you want to give lots of fuss and attention to help comfort your nervous pets, but be careful not to go overboard. They quickly learn that anxious behaviours bring about treats! If your pet goes to you for comfort it’s okay to give a bit of fuss, but don’t go to them or dramatically change your behaviour towards them.

Please feel free to call for any support during this time of year!

🏆OUR SEPTEMBER BRAVEHEART🏆

MACK 🧡

Mack came to us with dental troubles and a sizable lump on the side of his face which turned out to be a nasty tooth root abscess. We flushed the abscess and after a month of cleaning, a cone collar and some perseverance from his owner, he is finally better!

The only photo of Mack we got was before he got better, but you can see how nasty the abscess was! He is such an excellent boy and definitely deserves some attention!

Bravo Mack and bravo to Mack's owner! 🐱

We have some BIG NEWS. We are now offering an annual flea and tick prevention injection for our canine patients!

Do you struggle to get a tablet into your dog? 🐶

Do you always forget when their flea treatment is due? 🤔

Is collecting flea treatments every three months too time consuming for your busy schedule? ⏰

The injection could be perfect for you.

This can be given at the same time as their annual vaccinations and you can rest assured that they are covered against those pesky fleas and ticks for the entire year!!

Call the practice for more information ☎️

This wonderful double act are called Laurel and Hardy - and what a nice mess they've gotten themselves into! 😉

They've both been in for castration today and have been an absolute pleasure to have around. For being so good, the nurses have gifted them each a catnip gold star! 🌟

RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY! ❤️ (AH-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhh)

Modelling our Simba Pet Shirt and doesn't she look lovely? Pet shirts are a good alternative to the (much-dreaded) cone of shame. If you opt for a shirt post-op, please make sure they are kept CLEAN and DRY!

Trying to get a photo of a dog that does not sit still (ever) was the most difficult part about treating Ruby 🤣 We managed to win her over with some excellent bum scratches!

Good girl Ruby 🥰

12/09/2024

Ladies, he woke up like this! 😍

This is the gorgeous George who literally woke up from a sedation looking like nothing ever happened...

Excellent boy! ✨

06/09/2024

Isn't Oscar the most beautiful cat you've ever seen? 😍

Oscar unfortunately broke one of his canine teeth. Inside each tooth is a nerve, which, when exposed, can cause the teeth to be very painful. Our pets, especially cats, are very good at hiding pain, so it's worth researching those subtle signs. 😿

September is Animal Pain Awareness month for 2024! If you are concerned or think your pet is in pain, please call us - we are here to help!

🏆OUR AUGUST BRAVEHEART🏆

TETLEY!

Tetley has been coming to us for many years and suffers with anxiety. So coming in every month is a little difficult for him, but he is getting much better with every visit and we are all very proud of him 🥰💙

We've also been told he's a bit of a local celebrity, featuring on social media of other small businesses for being a top dog!! He is just the goodest boy!

14/08/2024

Let "ME-OWT" 🐱

Dog joined us for a spay today! Yes, she is a cat... yes, she is called Dog (and we love it!) She was such a good girl and has spent most of the afternoon having cuddles with the nurses 🥰

Please spay and castrate your cats! It is the most responsible thing to do for them, it reduces the likelihood of male cats wandering (and fathering litters) and it is a MYTH that female cats need to have at least 1 litter.

Bailey would like to politely remind people not to throw sticks for their dogs!!

This lovely little chap got a piece of a stick stuck in the side of his mouth - he managed to pull the stick out by himself before he got to us but not without leaving a 4cm pocket in his cheek!

Bailey had a lucky escape with a small injury, but these incidents can cause a lot of long-term or lasting damage to your pup. 😞

Bailey's owners have decided to stick to safer toys! He was a very good boy!

We're getting lost in Bailey's puppy dog eyes today 🥹

🏆OUR JULY BRAVEHEART🏆

Goes to the lovely little Harry 🐱

Harry broke his tibia playing with one of his brothers. As he is so young, we were able to cast the leg in order to let it heal in the correct position. He's been coming in throughout July for regular cast changes and has been as good as gold for every visit!

Well done little Harry!

31/07/2024

Say hello to Ella 👋 She's been with us today for an ultrasound scan and has been an absolute star!!

30/07/2024

CUTENESS ALERT 🥰

This is the lovely Mae enjoying spending some time in the garden.

Mae suffers with environmental allergies but that doesn't stop her rubbing her entire body on the grass 🤣 Thankfully her mum brings her in monthly for an allergy injection to help relieve those itchy symptoms!

Please remember during hotter periods that pets should only be allowed outside for short periods of time, watch their feet on the hot concrete and make sure they always have access to plenty of water.

IF THEY ARE IN DISTRESS, COOL THEM QUICKLY USING COLD WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE SKIN AND FUR AND BRING THEM TO SEE THE VET!

🏆OUR JUNE BRAVEHEART 🏆

This lovely boy is Max. He visits us every month for a regular injection, to help with his arthritis but during the last visit, his owner pointed out a new, large swelling on one of his back legs. After a few x-rays and referral to a local centre, we have found out that the swelling was not a tumour (YAY) but was due to breakdown of the bone from progression of his osteoarthritis (OUCH). He is currently waiting for a custom made brace to stabilise his leg and help reduce further bony changes 🥳

Max has been coming to us for many years and we love nothing more than seeing his happy face and waggy tail walk through the door. We are so proud of him and his human-mum for getting through this stressful time!

Bravo, Max 💙🐶

Emily, out on farm doing a calf hernia last week, we did a post op check of the calf today and she's doing really well! 🐮 #derbyshire #derbyshirefarming #farmvets #veterinarysurgery

TB testing. As we are on an edge area, we have moved onto 6 monthly testing. Our farmers have been fantastic at helping us get our tests done as swiftly as possible. These cows here were very happy to be getting back out onto pasture after their test today. Not too stressed either which is always the aim! #cowsofinstagram #tbtesting #peakvetsmatlock
