Did you know that UK Pet Passports are no longer a thing.

So to travel to Europe with your pet, you need an Animal Health Certificate. This can only be written by an Official Veterinarian, of which we have here at Heartland Vets.

Our Vets have undergone special training in order to complete this paperwork.

If you have any questions about taking your pet abroad, please contact either of our surgeries.

This is Gylly, Toby's three-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer bitch. Mad as a box of frogs, Gylly can't stay still very long. Always on the go, Gylly is happiest out and about either on calls with Toby in the truck or up a Munro, however she's less keen when she's made to carry her own belongings on longer adventures.

30/04/2024

🐍 Adders 🐍

As the weather begins to warm, we have noticed an increase in calls regarding adder bites.

The adder (Vipera berus berus) is the only venomous snake native to the UK, and is also found across northern Europe. It is a protected species in the UK. Adders are most commonly, but not exclusively, found on dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands and woodland edges. The clinical signs of an adder bite can include rapid and progressive swelling around the bite site, pain, lethargy, vomiting, bruising, bleeding and collapse.

What should you do if your pet has been bitten by an adder?
❌Do not panic.
❌Do not interfere with the bite.
❌Do not apply a tourniquet.
❌Do not attempt to touch or catch the snake.
❌Do not kill the snake – it is a protected species.
❌If practical, carry your dog to your car and go to your veterinary surgeon - do not delay seeking advice even if your pet is well as things can change quickly.

Adders are not aggressive and generally only bite when provoked. They hibernate in the winter and as a result most bites occur in the summer. Pets are frequently bitten on the leg, head or neck. If your pet has been bitten by an adder (even if you did not see the snake or are not sure what happened) – contact your vet immediately. Your vet will examine your pet to determine the location of the bite and extent of the swelling.

Veterinary professionals can call us any time on 02073 055 055 if required for assistance with managing cases of adder bites. We also hold a list of antivenom stockists across the UK. Please note that antivenom is not indicated in all cases.

25/04/2024

Up next is our Clinical Director, Mhairi’s cat called Norman.

Norman is coming up to 2 years old and was brought into the surgery as an injured feral kitten by a member of the public.
He was nursed back to health by Mhairi and they’ve been together ever since.
Norman enjoys roaming the outdoors and likes to think he is a dog.

This is Alfie. He is 1 year old and 11 months, he is a wild child but has the softest heart, he loves to run around the field's especially if there is a river flowing through them and he has climbed 7 Munro's.

The cat sat next to Alfie on "Alfie's" bed is Charlie, we rescued Charlie from the Isle Of Harris and is now living the best life in the hills and has clearly taken over being the "boss of the house" however they love each other.

23/04/2024

Next we have one of our receptionist and animal care assistant, Kirsty’s dogs.

The best time to begin a dental care routine is when pets are young, as this gets them used to it early. However, older pets can learn new tricks and there are plenty of other options available if you think introducing tooth brushing might be a stretch… Whatever their age, speak to any of our team at your next visit where we can advise you on the ideal dental home care plan to suit you and your pet.

Horses have some special hairs on their nose, in their ears and lovely long eyelashes on their eyelids. They are known as 'vibrissae'. But why do they have these hairs? Take a look at our video that explains what they are for.

Johne's disease, also known as Paratuberculosis, is a chronic, contagious bacterial disease of the intestinal tract that affects all cattle but is most commonly seen in dairy cattle. Caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium avium subspecies, it causes slow, progressive wasting of the animal and increasingly severe diarrhoea.The organism is resistant to heat, cold, and drying. It can survive for longer than a year in soil and even longer in water. Here's some practical measures for controlling Johne's Disease in your herd.

Sheep Scab is a highly contagious disease caused by the Psoroptes ovis mite. It is spread by sheep-to-sheep contact, at markets or in livestock lorries. Keep an eye out for sheep that are trying to scratch themselves on fences and posts. Look out for yellowish, crusty lesions and make sure you quarantine new animals. If your flock becomes infested, it will have an impact on their welfare, as well as your pocket. Give us a call if you suspect your flock may have sheep scab. We can arrange the correct treatment and advise you on what to do next

Check out our top tips for tackling weight loss for your horse.

Ragwort is poisonous to horses (and humans!) but is often found in fields and pastures where you may be grazing your horse. It is essential to check for Ragwort where your horse grazes regularly and make sure you carefully remove it. But what does it look like in all its life stages? Check out our video, so you know what you are looking for.

The only way a gastric ulcer can be definitively diagnosed is with a gastric endoscopy. However, look for clues that your horse may be suffering from an ulcer. And if you are concerned, give us a call.

It's turning into BBQ season! We hope you have a fun but safe time with your furry friends making burgers! 🍗🍔🌭

Although rabbits originate from the western Mediterranean, they’re not actually used to spending too much time in the red-hot sun. This is because in the wild, rabbits hide out in deep burrows where it’s cool and shaded. Hot summer days can prove dangerous to our bunnies.

Did you see our Fun Friday question, how many bones does a horse have? Congratulations if you guessed 205! Although, some breeds of horses have one less vertebrae and rib than others so the answer may vary!
