We all understand, when it comes the time where we have to sadly say goodbye to our family members, that it's a emotional experience. This is why, all branches that are part of the Willows Vet Group, have now reached a Platinum Status, in the Compassion Understood Accreditation, which means that we are more better equipped when supporting our clients and their owners when it is time for you to say goodbye to your pet.

We understand that making decisions about your pet’s end-of-life care is a difficult and emotional journey, but we are here to support you every step of the way.

Though it doesn't seem like it at the moment, the temperatures will eventually rise. Which means so does the risk of flystrike, for our fluffy companions.
Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.

🔍Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and
living environment, especially during warmer
months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur,
wounds, or unusual behaviour.
Prevention is key: so ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods recommended by your vet.

If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary
assistance IMMEDIATELY. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well-being of your furry friend.

Let's keep our rabbits safe and flystrike-free this summer! 🐰☀️

Be more like Dave❗

Dave is happily playing because he knows he has helped spread the word about Pet Blood Bank UK 🐶 🐾

You can do the same - if your dog is between 1 and 8 years old, weighs over 25kg, is happy, healthy, confident and friendly they could give blood and you can spread the word!

Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity that helps save lives by providing a blood service for pets. They run donation sessions across the UK, where owners can take their dogs to give blood.

Our very own Willows Veterinary Hospital is going to be a donor site, but we need you and your lovely dogs to help us get enough blood in our bank.

For more information visit the Pet Blood Bank UK Website or contact Willows Veterinary Hospital!

Did you know ❓

Your pets’ feeding and exercise routine may change when your pet is diabetic.

To keep blood sugar as steady as possible, you would need to feed your pet twice a day. They would need to eat the same amount and type of food every day.

Exercising uses up blood sugar so a set amount of exercise, at set times each day would be best for your pet.

If you have any concerns about feeding or exercising your diabetic pet, please contact your local Willows branch ☎️ 🐾

Did you know❓

How diabetes can be treated⁉️

Just like people, diabetic animals need insulin.

Treatment usually involves:
• Insulin injections under the skin twice per day, usually for the rest of the pet’s life
• Dietary changes such as a low carbohydrate diet for cats, and a low sugar diet, balanced in calories and fats, for dogs - If caught early, weight loss in some obese diabetic cats can reverse their diabetes!

Did you know ❓

There are two types of diabetes 🔽

Type 1 - this is the most common type in dogs. It is where pancreatic cells are lost, and too few are left to produce insulin.

Type 2 - this is the most common type in cats, although it can also affect dogs. It is where there is plenty of insulin, but the body no longer responds to it.
