Faith is always so excited to come and see us, pulls her mummy through the door and tries to jump on the table. She was born at our surgery 7 years ago when her mum needed a caesarean. We all 💕 her...
Our star patient of today definitely goes to Winnie ❤️ she came in today for a check up on her epilepsy, including a blood test. She spent the majority of her consult lying down and having cuddles! Look how well behaved she is having her blood sample taken by Hilde 😍 she was an absolute pleasure to see today!
***UPDATE*** This is Henry, one of our Receptionist's cats,nearly 6 weeks ago he was hit by a car and fractured his pelvis, he is recovering really well, he is coming to the end of his cage rest and is very eager to be reintroduced to the rest of the house, he is off his painkillers and full of mischief!!
