โคโคโค A happy end to the story!! โคโคโค
We posted some time ago about a cat who had been hit by a car and brought in by the distraught driver - sadly the owner never came forward for him and he was badly injured when he came to us. Due to a very complex fracture of one of his hind legs we had to amputate but are thrilled to report that Bailey, as he is now known, recovered and has adapted very well to his new setup!! Although semi-feral, he was adopted very quickly and came back to see us to check all was well following his surgery. Here he is looking a bit wary, but so much better than he was when he first came to us - a huge well done to his new owners who have made such progress with him. We think you'll agree he's very very handsome and we wish him all the best in his new life with his loving family. Sometimes things happen for a reason... ๐ฅฐ
๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Today's rather wonderful 'nose shot' is the gorgeous Lucy, who came in for her 6 monthly Healthy Pet Check with our nursing team a few weeks ago. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
We think you'll agree she is a bit of a superstar, and was very happy to investigate her surroundings while she was in with us!! That pink nose may be the cutest thing ever... ๐
๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful Dads and father figures out there - thank you so much for everything you do for your families!! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

๐ข๐๐ข Everyone meet Frost the tortoise!! ๐ข๐๐ข
Frost has had some issues with coming out of hibernation this year and so has had several trips to see us, including an anaesthetic procedure to place an oesophageal feeding tube, so that his owners could feed him when he was feeling less enthusiastic about eating!! After several weeks of using the tube he was doing much better, but needed a bit of careful monitoring while his owners were away so came to board in our viviarium for a few days!! He was a model patient and such a funny little chap - his favourite thing was sitting on his rock basking under his viviarium light!!
Manny is an Italian Greyhound!!!
๐๐พ๐ We have another of our fabulous 'nose shots' for this Sunday morning - everyone meet the delectable Manny!!! ๐๐พ๐
Manny came in to see SVN Sophie for his 6 month Healthy Pet Club health check a few weeks ago and it's safe to say he melted her heart!! Here he is looking beyond cute - could anyone resist that face??!! What breed are we looking at here? (Perhaps not your first thought...) ๐
๐จ๐จ๐จ DEADLINE FAST APPROACHING ๐จ๐จ๐จ
Please remember that it becomes a legal requirement to have your cat microchipped by Monday June 10th - that's 2 days away!! Please tag any cat owning friends and make sure they know. If you have a cat that is not yet chipped please do call the surgery - we are exceptionally busy at the moment but we will do our best to get you fitted in as soon as possible!!
Friday Funny - they'd make great coasters...๐

Here at Willow Vets we know that, even when you've been having a hard time for whatever reason, stepping through the front door after a long day to be greeted by unconditional love from a furbaby always makes things feel just a little bit better. Hug yours a little tighter tonight ###
๐พ๐ฅฐ๐พ Just an overdose of cuteness to get us through any middle-of-the-week blues we may be experiencing - everyone say hi to Bart!!!! ๐พ๐ฅฐ๐พ
Bart came in for a puppy check, and either he was beyond relaxed or he found the whole experience so overwhelming that he felt the best option was to fall asleep on the table ๐๐๐ Either way we literally don't think he could be any more gorgeous!!!
Welcome to the Willow Vets family Bart ๐๐๐
๐๐ถ๐ This Tuesday's poster boy is the wonderful Kobe!! ๐๐ถ๐
Kobe came in a couple of months ago for a dental procedure, which involved extracting quite a few of his pre-molars. This is a very common procedure, with dental disease being one of the most prevalent diseases we see in both dogs and cats ๐. Vet Anita thought he needed a little extra TLC after his procedure and so used a sling to carry him with her while she typed up his notes (and maybe had a sneaky cuddle or twenty!!!) He really was such a good boy - we think it may be true love... ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
This amazing 'nose shot' is courtesy of the wonderful Eddie, who comes in every month for his Librela injection, which helps alleviate chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis. He is doing really well on his injections and is a firm favourite with the nursing team who administer them for him! Honestly, who could resist that face??!! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

๐ข๐ข๐ข PLEASE SHARE - FOUD TORTOISE!!! ๐ข๐ข๐ข
We had a tortoise brought into us last week, having been found in St John's Street carpark. Unfortunately he hasn't been microchipped so we have been unable to locate an owner as yet. He is safe and being cared for with us at the moment. If you think this may be your tortoise please contact the Newport surgery on 01908 610982. Proof of ownership/photos etc will be required, hence we have not used a photo on this post. If no-one comes forward for him he will be sent to a rehoming centre where the adoption process can be started. ๐๐๐ the owner sees this post and gets in touch!!!
๐๐ฑ๐ SAVE THE DATE!!! ๐๐ฑ๐
It's less than 2 weeks until it becomes compulsory for all cats in England to be microchipped. Remember that we currently have an offer of ยฃ10 off the normal cost of id chipping your cat up until this date, so do make use of us and book your cat in to have this done in time for the deadline.
Please share to keep on raising awareness of this important new piece of legislation, which is long overdue!! Microchipping is so important and makes reuniting owners with their lost pets so very much easier ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
โ๏ธ๐ณ๐พ Let's hope we have some lovely weather on this Spring Bank Holiday so we can all get out into nature!! ๐พ๐ณโ๏ธ
Please remember Willow Vets are closed today but will re-open as usual at 8am on Tuesday morning. If you need advice or have a veterinary emergency before then, please contact our out-of-hours emergency care provider VetsNow by dialling our normal surgery numbers of 01908 610982 or 01234 711473. Have a lovely relaxed day folks ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ This week's Sunday Snuggles post is stunning Otter, who is 'loafing' while recovering from his castrate. ๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ
Loafing describes the pose cats adopt when they tuck their front feet right underneath them and wrap their tail around their body and usually means they're feeling relaxed and safe, so we're glad he felt comfortable with us!! You may be able to spot that Otter's pupils are dilated in this photo - this is likely due to the low light level we have in our cat ward, which helps to keep stress levels down for our feline friends and also one of the pre-op painkillers we give - dilated pupils and feeling a bit 'spaced out' and happy are fairly common but short-lived side effects!!
Friday Funny - an oldie but a goody!!! Any other breeds need a mention??!!๐
Thursday Thought ๐
Update on Bob and Maggie 'guess the breed' - they're Jack Russell Terrier x Alaskan Malamute!!!!!!! We're not completely sure how that happened.... ๐
๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ We're so pleased that so many of you have taken up our offer of Wellness Screening for your older pets! ๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ
It has been lovely to be able to give the majority of owners good news regarding the health of their much loved furbabies, and for those where issues have been picked up, we can now ensure we're doing everything possible to help!!
Give us a call to discuss whether your pet is eligible and to book an appointment with our fab nursing team ๐๐๐
๐๐ถ๐ Today is National rescue Dog Day!! ๐๐ถ๐
It is heartbreaking that this has to be recognised but we are so thankful to all the truly amazing charities out there helping to take in, rehabilitate and rehome dogs who, usually for no fault of their own, find themselves looking for a new family.
Let's see pictures of all your amazing rescue furbabies below - their stories are also welcome, although we may need a box of tissues to get through them ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
๐๐ฑ๐ What a gorgeous Sunday Snuggles post we have for you today!! ๐๐ฑ๐
This is the very beautiful Cocker Spaniel Poppy, who came in to be spayed recently. She brought her little friend in for company and was very happy to be wrapped up in a blanket to recover while using him as a pillow!! We think she looks very cosy ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ A little teaser for you this Saturday morning!!! ๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ
The gorgeous Bob and Maggie came in for their second puppy vaccinations the other day and we were (frankly) amazed when we heard what breeds they are crossed with!!!! Just two breeds involved - you may get one but we don't think anyone will guess the second - of course we could be wrong!! Over to you... We'll post the answer later ๐
Friday Funny at the end of a rainy week ๐
๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฃ SOUND ON FOR THIS ONE!!!! ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฃ
We wouldn't normally post a video of a slightly angry cat but this is brilliant!! The lovely Sammy is usually the nicest cat to handle othe than when he gets his nails clipped - then he turns into a monster ๐น๐น๐น!!! However.... we've found that when we feed him Lick-e-Lix (other treats are available ๐) we can cut all his nails without even having to hold him (you can just about see vet Libby in the background doing his back feet)!! We just love the 'a-bit-angry-but-not-able-to-resist-the-treats' grumbling that's going on ๐๐๐
๐๐ถ๐ This week's Monday post is a tale of two Marvins!!! ๐๐ถ๐
Gorgeous GSDx pup Marvin came in recently for a weigh in and his latest flea and worm treatment, and equally gorgeous Chihuahua Marvin came in for his *ahem* little boy's op! We think you'll all agree they're both beyond cute - 'big' Marvin's ear is truly a thing of wonder and 'little' Marvin is too adorable all sleepy and having a cuddle before his surgery!!

๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ What a great job - this is Ivy having her teeth brushed! She wasn't all that keen when her mum first started training her to accept the toothbrush but as you can see she's now a pro! We particularly love the strategy of gently taking the toothbrush and walking away with it when she's finished... ๐ Dental disease is the most common chronic disease process we encounter, and it's estimated that a staggering 80% of dogs and cats over the age of 3 have it to some degree. Daily toothbrushing is absolutely the best way of helping prevent it and as Ivy is showing, it doesn't have to be a struggle!!! Well done Ivy and mum, we're so proud of you both ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ #vetdentist #dentalhealth #whatagoodgirl
There are ways and means of getting blood samples from cats who are less than keen on needles....! Here we have the lovely Shadow, who is not a fan of a blood test, happily munching on Lick-E-Lix (other treats are available ๐) while our fab nurses Claire and Laura take a lovely blood sample from his leg - we don't think he even noticed!! If we can keep our lovely patients calm and happy, it keeps our team calm and happy too ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ #catwhisperer #wheretheresawilltheresaway #gentleisalwaysbest

Cole was a bit shy at first but once the nurses got the toys out he really came out of his shell. Love you Cole ๐ฅฐ Its so important that pets staying with us are as comfortable and happy as possible, it aids recovery and makes them less worried about future visits.
