Imagine you are deaf. You can’t hear your smoke alarm or alarm clock. You can’t hear your text messages. You miss out on social interactions. That’s what life is like for deaf people, and it can be very isolating. A hearing dog can make a big difference. You can help our charity of the year – Hearing Dogs for Deaf People – help a deaf person leave loneliness behind, by adding a donation via Pennies when you pay by card. Just a small donation can help deaf people escape isolation and reconnect with life. Thank you.
Another gold for Great Britain, Astonlee’s duck has come first in the Newport Pagnell Carnival Duck Race!🥇🏆 We’d like to thank the wonderful Newport Pagnell Carnival Team for putting on such an excellent event🦆
He’s now back in home waters taking a well earned rest after his win with his golden duck trophy🦆
Happy International Cat Day! Today is all about our feline friends - how has your cat celebrated today? Show us in the comments below!
Please keep an eye out for Queenie who sadly managed to escape her cat carrier on her way into the practice this morning. She ran across Tickford Street and into St Margaret’s Close at approximately 8:15am this morning (Wednesday 7th August 2024). Queenie is not microchipped and she does not know the area, she could have travelled further by now. Please check gardens, sheds, garages etc. We would be really grateful if you could share this post to raise awareness. Thank you.
A few weeks ago, we met one of the gorgeous Hearing Dog charity puppies in training, who had come in feeling rather wobbly and poorly after eating something toxic. After treatment from our vets and nurses, and a stay in the overnight hospital, she made a full recovery and is now back to her normal happy self.
This year, we are raising money for "Hearing Dogs for Deaf People" as our Charity of the Year, so it was really wonderful to be able to help and care for one of their future hearing dogs. We know that following her recovery, she is going to continue her training to become one of the hero dogs that has helped thousands of deaf people across the UK. All of us at Astonlee wish her all the best for her future of saving lives, and keeping her nose out of things she shouldn't eat!
If you would like to know more about our charity of the year, or would consider kindly donating to their cause, please ask at reception.
If you have been following our social media, you may remember that last week, we had a stray cat brought in to the practice, now known as Stray Ray. We’d firstly like to thank you all for sharing the post. We were unfortunately unable to find Stray Ray’s legal owner, but he is now safely with the local MK RSPCA. When Ray was brought in to us, he had a very large wound to his neck which unfortunately had severe flystrike. However, after a very good clean up, medication, and lots and lots of TLC by our clinical team, he is now on his steady road to recovery and is doing really well! He really is such a sweet little chap and we wish him all the best in his recovery and future🐱🐾
**UPDATE @ 6:45pm 30/07/24 - REUNITED, thank you for sharing this post**
*TRYING TO LOCATE OWNER* last night, we had a female dog brought to the practice, who was found at Newport Pagnell BP garage. We believe her to be a staffy cross breed, she is brindle and white, has no collar and her microchip details are sadly out of date. If you think this may be your pet, please contact the practice on 01908 611637. She is very lovely so must be missing her owner. Please share this post, thank you for your assistance.
Today marks the start of the Summer Olympic Games hosted in Paris, the City of Love. Will you be watching the Olympics this year? Comment below with your favourite sport!
We have had an entire male tabby and white cat brought in to us this morning that was found on Newport Pagnell High Street. He is very friendly but is sadly in a poor condition with a very bad injury, we are currently performing first aid. He is not microchipped and has no collar. If you think this may be your cat, please call us immediately on 01908 611637.
You know your pet is covered day to day with their routine parasite treatment, but what about if you take your pet abroad? There are many different diseases and parasites that our pets can come into contact with when travelling to foreign countries.
To find out more about the health considerations when travelling abroad with your pet, visit: vetcollection.co.uk/health/travelling-with-your-pet
Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous. If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Deafness can be a very isolating disability, so a hearing dog offers constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them.
This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely lifechanging.
A multi pet discount (£1 discount per month) for each additional pet is one of the benefits included when you join The Healthy Pet Club.

We had a wonderful day at the Newport Pagnell carnival on Saturday and the winners of our ‘guess how many pom pom’s in the jar’ competition have collected their prizes! One of the winning guesses was just 4 pom pom’s short of the winning number! One of the winners is pictured here😊🎉
Thank you to everybody that visited our stall on Saturday at the Newport Pagnell carnival! We raised an amazing £63.40 for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People!🐶🎉
The winners of the ‘guess how many pom pom’s in the jar’ competition have now been contacted, very well done to the winners with their great guesses! (The correct answer was 271!)
We are still continuing to raise for Hearing Dogs via Pennies on our card machines in practice, our lucky dip is in our reception area and cat carriers are still available for donations

Deafness is rising in the UK; by 2035, it is estimated that one in five British people (over 15 million) will experience hearing loss. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity that trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even a baby’s cry. Their burgundy coats also act as a visual reminder to the public when they are out and about that their partner is deaf. Donations raised through Pennies when you pay by card help support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Just a small donation can make a big difference!
The Newport Pagnell Carnival is this Saturday, and Astonlee Veterinary Centre will be there! 🐶All proceeds raised go to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People🐶

Flystrike happens more often in warm weather, and in rabbits who have soiled fur (often due to poor diet, obesity or arthritis). Throughout the spring and summer rabbits must be checked twice daily and any soiled fur cleaned. If you find any sign of fly eggs or maggots you must arrange for your rabbit to see a vet as soon as possible. For more information about Flystrike: vetcollection.co.uk/health/conditions/flystrike
There is no denying the fact that dogs can help to alleviate stress in the workplace. In fact, a survey conducted by The Kennel Club revealed that 70% of people think dogs reduce stress within a working environment, and even stroking a dog is said to reduce blood pressure. Is your four-legged friend taking a trip to your workplace today?

This is a case of cheyletiella (more commonly known as ‘walking dandruff’) that was spotted under the microscope during a recent visit at the practice. This is a type of mite that can be found on dogs, cats, rabbits and even humans! Typical signs in animals present with dry scabs / dandruff (hence the name walking dandruff!), hair loss, and itching.

Working together on the safe disposal of your pets’ unused antibiotics: Did you know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide health threat, as bacteria are becoming resistant to many antibiotics that we use in human and veterinary medicine?
This handsome chap is called Alfie 🥰 We have been lucky to see him since he was a tiny kitten, and this means he is very relaxed when in the practice. 😻 Here Alfie is having a drink from the tap in our Nurses room!
🌟 Feline friday 🌟 On Fridays we are going to share our top cat tips 🐱 This is Oreo, she is recovering from surgery which means she has to stay indoors. Her owner has grown some cat grass to keep her entertained. Cats that are either kept indoors or have periods of indoor restriction need enrichment in their environment to keep them happy and their minds stimulated.
This video shows our team using an endoscope to remove a sock which this dog had eaten. We removed 3 socks from his stomach! Luckily we were able to remove them using the scope which meant no surgery was needed 👍😀
