Introducing the newest tool in our diagnostics portfolio, the VetScan Imagyst!

This powerful little device leverages artificial intelligence to enhance our diagnostic capabilities with several remarkable features:

Cytology results (e.g., from a fine needle aspirate of a lump) are sent to and reviewed by a human Clinical Pathologist in less than 2 hours, significantly reducing the wait time for comprehensive results!

The VetScan Imagyst uses AI to scan faecal samples, urine samples, and blood smears, providing results in under 10 minutes!

This allows us to diagnose common ailments like faecal parasites and urinary tract infections more efficiently, enabling same-day treatment to help your pet feel better immediately!

🐾🌟 Celebrating Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! 🌟🐾

This month, we're putting the spotlight on our incredible Veterinary Nurses who are the heart and soul of our practice.

From the moment you walk in the door, our vet nurses are there to welcome you and your pets with a smile. They play a crucial role in:
- Monitoring general anaesthetics and performing minor procedures like dental scaling and polishing, and lump removals.
- Providing compassionate care and comfort to your pets
- Administering medications and treatments such as second vaccinations and monthly pain relief injections
- Educating pet parents on health and wellness
- Conducting lab tests using the microscope and blood machines
- Filling out important paperwork, like insurance forms, to enable the smooth running of our clinic

Their dedication and passion ensure that every pet gets the best possible care, and we couldn't do it without them! This month, join us in giving a big THANK YOU to our vet nurses for their hard work, love, and unwavering commitment to our beloved animals.

Here’s Nurse Becky looking after three rabbit brothers who were all in for castration today.

We captured a lovely moment between Loki and Phoebe, our receptionist, this morning.

Loki regularly drops by on his morning walk for a cuddle and treat. He is quite an anxious dog at the vets, so "fun" visits like this help to build his confidence and ensure he is happy to be examined when the time comes!

We recently had the handsome Rocco stay with us for the day to be castrated. Look how well he demonstrates his posing abilities! Were all wishing him a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Here's something to brighten up this cold, grey Monday.
Mylo visited us for his puppy vaccinations and took them all in his stride, whilst lapping up some liver paste, of course!
His owners also decided to sign him up to Flora's Healthy Pet Club, to make preventative care for this lovely boy a bit easier to manage, as his flea and worming treatment will arrive through his door automatically, every quarter!
See you soon, Mylo!

🐾 Urgent Announcement from Fauna Veterinary 🐾

Dear Pet Owners,

We wanted to bring an important matter to your attention regarding a suspected case of Alabama Rot in a dog from our community.

🚨 ALABAMA ROT ALERT 🚨
This dog was regularly walked in the Northwood and Rickmansworth areas, and we want to ensure all pet owners are informed and vigilant. Alabama Rot is a rare but serious disease that can affect dogs, causing skin lesions and, in severe cases, kidney failure.

🐶 SIGNS TO WATCH OUT FOR:
Skin sores, especially on the paws, legs, and face
Lethargy or loss of energy
Vomiting or diarrhoea

🏥 WHY EARLY DETECTION MATTERS:
Alabama Rot is still not fully understood, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Early detection and monitoring are crucial for the best possible outcome. If you notice any of these signs in your pet, please contact us immediately.

🤔 EDUCATION IS KEY:
We understand the concerns and questions you may have about Alabama Rot. Our team is here to provide information and support. We encourage all pet owners to stay informed about the disease and take preventive measures.

👀 HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PET:
Wash off mud and dirt after walks
Check your pet for any signs of sores or lesions
Consult with us if you have any concerns

📞 CONTACT US:
If you have questions or if your pet shows any of the mentioned signs, please contact Fauna Veterinary at 01923 881 633

Let's work together to keep our furry friends safe and healthy.

🐾 Sincerely,
The Fauna Family 🐾

Thanks David Simmonds MP !!

I am delighted to show my support for Family Business Week and to celebrate the contribution family firms make both to our economy and community here in Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.

This morning, as part of Family Business Friday, I visited the team at Fauna Veterinary on Green Lane, Northwood, run by Punit and Priya. I know how much we cherish our pets, and that owners want the very best care for their furry family members.

As an independently-run business, Fauna is able to offer just this. Punit and Priya have built an impressive, positive and welcoming practice that guarantees the utmost care for pets.

I am grateful for the warm welcome and to the team for their time.

🐾 Fireworks season can be ruff for our furry friends, but at Fauna Veterinary, we've got your back! 🎇 Ease the anxiety in your pets with our expert tips:

1️⃣ Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy spot with their favorite toys and blankets to retreat to when the booms start.

2️⃣ Close the Curtains: Dim the lights and close the curtains to minimize the visual impact of fireworks.

3️⃣ Calm Background Noise: Turn on some soothing music or white noise to drown out the loud sounds.

4️⃣ ID Check: Ensure your pet's ID tags and microchip information are up-to-date, just in case they get spooked and decide to go on an adventure.
