As sweet as Haribo! 🍬

Haribo came in to see us as he had a lump on his cheek. He came in to see vet Lucy as a pre operative check, as he is an older gentleman, to make sure everything was ok for him to be able to have surgery. He had some bloods taken and all was well so this meant his surgery could go ahead , this surgery is called a lumpectomy (lump removal)

Speedy recovery Haribo ❤️‍🩹

🐾 today is national dog day 🐾

Here are some of the dogs of the team at gallows vets for pets. We believe every dog should be celebrated!

National dog day is all about celebrating the incredible animals who bring comfort, keep us safe, and save lives.
There are dogs that put their lives on the line.
There are dogs that protect our safety by detecting drugs and bombs.
Let’s not forget about the dogs for the disabled, blind, and law enforcement.
From these dogs we call hero’s to our family pets/furbabies these dogs hold special places in our hearts and so it is only right that we honor them. We are so very lucky to have dogs ❤️

Dinky and Stinky 🐾

Two brothers keeping one another company whilst they had their castration procedure

🎶 Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you 🎶

The excitement we had here at gallows when we had the privilege of meeting and looking after a puppy Bassett hound! We’re used to seeing this breed when they are older but never a puppy! She was honestly beautiful and had such a beautiful nature.

Thank you to her owners for choosing us to look after Ruby ❤️

12/08/2024

Rupert came back to see us after his castration for his post operative check. His recovery is going well. Recovery can take up to 10 days.

Here he is modelling an inflatable buster collar as was mentioned in our last our post (this isn’t something we supply but can be used after your pets surgery instead of a buster collar)

08/08/2024

How cute is Luna is her body suit/pet recovery suit!?

Some animals do not like wearing collar or having anything around their neck so they can find buster collars over whelming. Pet recovery suits are always an option after your pet has surgery. Other alternatives are Inflatable buster collars or soft material buster collars, these aren’t something we supply but they can be used after your pet has had surgery.

Minnie came to see us as she had suddenly gone off her food which is very unlike her. She is known to love eating grass which isn’t a problem, however this time it did cause her some issues.

Minnie had to have an anaesthetic as she had this blade of grass seen in the photo wrapped around the back of her throat.

We wish you a speedy recovery Minnie

❗️ ITS GRASS SEED/FOX TAIL SEASON ❗️

Poor Ziggy had some rotten luck after a walk where he had not one but two grass seeds in his ear. His owners noticed that he was shaking his head and was in discomfort and brought him into us. Grass seeds are sharp and painful so Ziggy had to have a mild sedation to remove them. The procedure went well and Ziggy went home the same day.

Grass seed injuries are a common problem for dogs during summer months. Breeds with hairy ears and hairy feet are more at risk if walked in meadows or woodlands where these grasses commonly grow in. It's a good idea to check your dog's feet and ears for grass seeds after exercise, especially if you have walked through areas with long grass.

The two most common areas of a dog affected by grass seeds are the foot and the ear, although other places on your dog's body can be at risk too such as their nose or their eyes (CATS ARE ALSO AT RISKS OF GRASS SEEDS TOO)

This is Archie.
Archie came in to see us as he still had some baby teeth along with his adult teeth, which you can see in the photo, these are called deciduous teeth and by now they should had fallen out.

Like humans, dogs and cats have two sets of dentition: primary and permanent. Dogs have 28 deciduous teeth, which are replaced as 42 permanent teeth as they grow. Permanent teeth begin to come through at 4 months of age and finish by 7 months of age.

Now why is this a problem I hear you ask..
With a retained tooth like Archie had, tartar could accumulate between the two teeth leading to periodontal disease and eventual loss of the permanent tooth this is why it is advised to be removed. This does include a full anaesthetic but Archie went home the same day and is recovering well 🦷

Sweetest face with the sweetest nature. Bella came in for her spaying procedure.

If your dog has already begun to have seasons, your vet will normally recommend waiting 12 to 16 weeks from the start of the most recent season before spaying, to minimise the risk of performing the procedure while a pseudopregnancy could be underway 🐾

Cheeky Chase 🐾

Chase managed to get hold of and eat his owners chocolate! His owner did the correct thing and called us right away, due to amount he ate our advise was he came to us and we induced vomiting via an injection.

After being given the injection he was being monitored by the nurse and kennel assistant and once he had stopped he was given an anti sickness injection and he returned home the same day.

If your pet ever eats any chocolate it’s SO important that you get in contact with your vet right away! Chocolate is made with cocoa solids, which contain a substance called theobromine. Theobromine is harmless to humans, but toxic to dogs and other pets because they struggle to metabolise it (break it down). Chocolate can also contain a small amount of caffeine which can be harmful to pets 🍫

Sweet Sheldon ❤️

Wherever vet Louise goes so does Sheldon. Sheldon visits Louise often to have his teeth trimmed down, you may be able to see on the photo where we have circled how long his teeth can get and there is no way he can eat like this. So he comes in for regular visits to fix this problem and he sits like a pro for it and has well deserved pets after.

You are an angel Sheldon 🐹

Vinnie came to us to see vet Ina for his 2nd vaccination 🐾

After your puppy's second round of vaccinations we advise waiting two weeks until taking your puppy outside so that they are fully protected in public spaces. Once any puppy has had their initial course of injections, they will only need one injection per year afterwards to keep that immunity ‘topped up’ known as their booster vaccine 💉

Meet Ra, isn’t he a beautiful boy 🩵

Did you know cats have 32 muscles in each ear? Cats can rotate each of their ears 180 degrees and move them independently from each other, to help them work out which direction a sound is coming from 👂

A tiny little Bear 🐻

Bear came in to see vet Steve for his 2nd vaccination, 2 weeks after his 2nd vaccination Bear can start exploring the big wide world on his walks.
With that face I don’t think he will get very far on his walks I’m sure him and his owner will constantly be stopped so people can give Bear attention, you can’t blame them!

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: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’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 hadn’t noticed.”

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: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’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; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

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 – 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."

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 – 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 – 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 – 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 don’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 everyone’s shoulders."

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 – "it's my second home!" – 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 didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – 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 I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’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." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – 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 – 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 – 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 – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’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. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – 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 – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

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 – 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 – 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."
