Hugo the Norwegian Forest cat came in this week for his annual health check and booster vaccination with vet India. He patiently waited on the chair for his turn, luckily the other animals coming into practice didn't bother him at all! 💙🐾

Wrinkly Winnie the Bassett Hound came in yesterday feeling under the weather. After she received an abdominal ultrasound and treatment, she was sent home and she is now feeling better. She's a gorgeous girl, who's loved by everyone who meets her ❤️🐾

I think it's safe to say Uncle Duncan is enjoying being back at home in South Africa with his elephants 🐘❤️ although we all miss him (demanding his cups of tea), we are pleased to see him relaxing, as he certainly deserves it!

Eggnog and Parsnip the lop eared bunnies came in last week to be castrated. Here they are relaxing together after they both had their surgeries. Happy, content bunnies 🐰💙🐰

Isabelle our vet nurse's dog Brian the pigdog proudly watches his pigs. 🐷 He helped to move these Saddleback pigs to their new field 🐷 a job well done, "that'll do pig, that'll do" 🐾

Marley the Amazon Parrot came back this week to be sedated to allow us to take two feathers to send away for DNA testing! We will soon find out if Marley is a cheeky boy or girl 💙🩷 He provided lots of entertainment in reception whilst waiting for his owner to come collect him. He certainly is a good boy/girl! Marley even has his own Tiktok account, if you want to see what him and his bird friends get up to check out www.tiktok.com/@freja905 🐾

We had a lovely surprise when these Petplan Veterinary Awards arrived in the post last week ❤️ it's great to see Duncan and his team's compassion and dedication to helping your pets, great and small, is recognised and appreciated. Thank you so much 🥰🐾

Only 4 days till Christmas, you can't beat fairy lights on winter nights... especially with our very own Duncan angel 🎄👼🎅 Let's see your Christmas trees, post a picture below ❄️🎄

🇿🇦 SA Friday 🐘 This week Duncan and his family found a Wahlbergs Eagle that had some form of toxicity. They kept it for 5 days to recover and then released it back to soar the South African skies 🦅 here's a video of Duncan's son Luke releasing it. Wow! 😍 The Wahlberg eagle is one of South Africa’s smaller eagles at around 58 cm tall. It is what as known as an inta-African migrant, which means these birds of prey migrate from one area to another within Africa to breed. Arriving for their stay in South Africa between August and September and departing between March and April. 🦅

Issy our veterinary nurse and her piggy friends, how adorable 💜 "We're following the leader, the leader, the leader" 🐷

🇿🇦 SA Friday! 🐘 Today offers another video sent to us by Duncan, who's currently enjoying his holiday back at home in South Africa! We have ponies and sheep at the side of our roads... Duncan and his family have elephants! What a magnificent animal 😍 The average African elephant will grow to between 8.2 to 13 feet (2.5 to 4 meters) from shoulder to toe and weigh between 5,000 to 14,000 lbs. (2,268 to 6,350 kilograms), according to the National Geographic. Wow!

Duncan is currently back home in South Africa having a well deserved holiday 🇿🇦🌍 he sent us this amazing video of a baby elephant with it's mum. It must be pretty amazing to have a herd of elephants at your front door! 🐘🐘 Maybe one day we can have a staff holiday to his farm?! We're not jealous at all....! ❤️
