Lovely little Dinky came to see us recently for a blood test to determine if she had Brucella, she was so well behaved for her bloods and had lots of treats afterwards! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฆด

Dinkyโ€™s bloods thankfully have come back clear of Brucella so her owners donโ€™t need to worry ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉท

๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐˜ฝ๐™ง๐™ช๐™˜๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™–?
Brucella is a contagious infection that affects dogs and humans caused by the bacteria brucella canis. It's not common in the UK but it can be found in imported dogs from countries where the disease is more widespread. Brucella canis is common in Eastern Europe, South America, parts of North America, the Middle East and Asia.

๐™„๐™จ ๐™ข๐™ฎ ๐™™๐™ค๐™œ ๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™ž๐™จ๐™ ?
Thereโ€™s very little brucella in dogs in the UK at the moment. Only dogs which have been imported from other countries, spent time abroad or had close contact (such as mating with or living in the same household) with another dog with the infection are at risk.

๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐˜ฝ๐™ง๐™ช๐™˜๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™– ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™™ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐™™๐™ค๐™œ๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™๐™ช๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™จ?
Brucella canis is a zoonotic disease which means it can spread from animals to humans, the overall risk of getting infected with Brucella canis is fortunately very low. People in regular contact with imported dogs, vets and vet nurses, and lab staff who handle bodily fluids are at the highest risk of being exposed. Even dogs without any symptoms can spread Brucella canis.

๐™ƒ๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™™๐™ค ๐™„ ๐™ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™ž๐™› ๐™ข๐™ฎ ๐™™๐™ค๐™œ ๐™๐™–๐™จ ๐˜ฝ๐™ง๐™ช๐™˜๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™–?
Some dogs with Brucella canis have no symptoms, while others do. Either way, they can still be infectious to other dogs and people. Some possible symptoms are; lethargy, lameness and back pain and swollen lymph nodes. If your pet has been imported from abroad or has been around other dogs, your vet may recommend a blood test to check if your pet has Brucella.

If you would like to book your pet in for a blood test to check for Brucella, contact our practice and a member of the team will be able to help! โœจ

It's Rabbit Awareness Week! ๐Ÿฐ

Rabbits require a specific diet to ensure their health and wellbeing. While many people may not be aware of the intricacies of a rabbits diet, it is crucial to understand the secrets behind providing them with correct nutrition ๐Ÿฅฌ

Feeding your rabbits high-quality, dust free feeding hay or fresh grass should make up about 85% of their daily diet. Picture a hay pile the same size as them each day. Of course, make sure to keep it fresh!

๐Ÿ‡ Why hay? ๐ŸŒพ

It's all about fibre! This nutrient is essential for rabbits health

Dental health - Bunnies teeth are always growing! Gnawing on good quality feeding hay or fresh grass helps keep them in check and prevent dental problems ๐Ÿฆท

Digestive health - Fibre is essential to keep your rabbits digestive system running smoothly, reducing the risk of gut stasis and bloat

Did you know wild rabbits spend up to 70% of their time foraging? By providing plenty of hay and grass, you're helping your rabbits fulfill their natural behavior!

If you need any advice about your bunny, contact our friendly team and they'll be happy to help! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’š

When Rosemary noticed one of Percy's eyes was getting increasingly cloudy she rushed him to Vets4Pets Oxford to get it checked out.

Vet Lucy and team worked out the 12-year-old Patterdale terrier couldn't see out of his right eye and further investigations revealed a tumour behind it requiring urgent surgery. To remove the tumour, Percy needed an operation which involved taking out his eye; but now Rosemary says heโ€™s recovering well back home.

Rosemary, who's had Percy since he was a puppy, said: โ€œI didnโ€™t want to think what it meant when we heard that Percy had a tumour. Heโ€™s my little lamb and such gentle, sweet boy. All I can say about Lucy and the team is that theyโ€™re brilliant โ€“ we bring all our pets there. Percyโ€™s fur is growing back now and heโ€™s exactly as he was before; he likes to get on my lap and turns his head so he can see me with his good eye.โ€

Lucy said: โ€œPercy is a really lovely dog who's been coming to this practice since it opened. Thereโ€™s a lot of risk with surgery, especially with an old boy, but he did really well and we were able to send him home the same day. If you ever have any concerns about your pet's eyes please get in touch with your vet who can investigate further.โ€

Is it necessary to neuter my rabbit? ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฅ•

There are lots of benefits to neutering, especially if you're not planning to mate and want to help your bunnies bond! These include:

๐Ÿ‡ no unwanted litters
๐Ÿ‡ improves socialisation - rabbits need the companionship of another rabbit and male/female pairings work best
๐Ÿ‡ less risk of cancer - sadly, female rabbits are more likely to develop uterine (womb) and mammary cancers early on in life - neutering reduces the chances of these occuring
๐Ÿ‡ better temperament - neutered rabbits are usually less temperamental and easier to handle - perfect if you have small children!
๐Ÿ‡ reduces the likelihood of undesirable hormone-induced behaviors such as mounting, urine spraying (or territorial marking), and aggression

If you have any questions about rabbit neutering, want to book your bunnies in for this or just want to chat to someone about what's best for your little one, please give us a call on 01865 249190 or email us at [email protected] ๐Ÿพ

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: โ€œRufus is such a big part of our life; weโ€™re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldnโ€™t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isnโ€™t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadnโ€™t noticed.โ€

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: โ€œYou get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. Iโ€™ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; Iโ€™m so pleased they caught it. Now heโ€™s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. Itโ€™s lovely and suits him โ€“ when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.โ€

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you โ€“ you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Lovely Luna was brought to us recently as a stray so we could scan her for a microchip, luckily she was microchipped and we were able to get in contact with her owners

Luna had been missing for 5 months so her owners were over the moon that she had been found! ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿพ

She's now been reunited with her owners and is back home getting lots of love ๐Ÿ’•

If your cat ever goes missing, a microchip is the best way for vets or charities to contact you and get you both reunited again

It's so important to make sure your information is all up to date on your pets microchip! ๐Ÿพ

Did you know โ“

From 10th June 2024 it will be a legal requirement for your cat to be microchipped before they reach 20 weeks of age

Owners found not to have their cat microchipped will have 21 days to have one implanted or may face a fine of up to ยฃ500

More information regarding the introduction of mandatory cat microchipping can be found on the GOV website - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cat-microchipping-to-be-made-mandatory

If you would like to book an appointment to have your pet microchipped, please call us on 01865 249190 and a member of the team will be able to help you! โ˜Ž๏ธ

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis โ€“ an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him โ€“ killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery โ€“ and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You donโ€™t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyoneโ€™s shoulders."

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉบ CASE OF THE WEEK ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Lovely Percy came to see our vet Lucy as his owners noticed that one of his eyes had an unusual cloudy appearance. Lucy sadly found a tumour in his right eye, which meant he was blind in that eye and it was beginning to cause him pain and discomfort.

The only option for his case was to remove his eye with a surgery called enucleation. It's a scary looking procedure but can be a real life saver for our furry friends!

Percy was such a brave boy and we are glad to report after lots of love and care from his owners post op, he's back to his normal self!! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ

Because his tumour was caught early, it's likely that Percy's surgery will be curative which is great news!! Soon all his fur will grow back and he'll be back to normal again (just down an eye!)

Swipe through to take a look at Percy before and after his surgery and at his final post op checkup where he was all signed off ๐Ÿฉท

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store โ€“ "it's my second home!" โ€“ got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didnโ€™t recognise. He wasnโ€™t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldnโ€™t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him โ€“ I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which Iโ€™ve never heard a cat do before, and heโ€™s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldnโ€™t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in."

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years โ€“ and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice โ€“ everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets โ€“ they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year โ€“ and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. Sheโ€™s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. Sheโ€™s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her โ€“ she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about โ€“ it can help in so many ways after an operation.โ€

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers โ€“ and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat โ€“ and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
