We have some cat baskets that haven’t been claimed by their previous owners. We need the space!

If you would like any of these then you are welcome to come and get one. We just ask for a donation to local cat charity Lowhills Animal Sanctuary.

A massive congratulations to our lovely vet Verity Browning, who has just been awarded her further qualification in Feline Practice. Having studied hard in her own time for the past two years, and undertaken a series of exams, she is now able to add yet more letters after her name: GPCert(FelP).

We are really lucky in this practice to have such a breadth of knowledge across all areas of veterinary medicine and surgery - and Verity’s qualification has further added to our capabilities of looking after our Feline patients better.

Today, it is the entry slipway that is closed, and so all traffic in and out of the surgery has to go via the “exit” lane. As before, please be careful pulling in and out as we are having a few instances where people are meeting each other! Thank you..

Our “exit” lane is blocked by the roadworks, so this means that our clients will have to use the “entry” for both entering and leaving the surgery car park.

Please can people be extra careful visiting and leaving us whilst we are in this situation. Thank you.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone about animals in this heat. Like most of us, our pets are not really used to this warm weather so it can catch us, and them unaware.

Heat stroke can be fatal if not managed appropriately. We have done a blog explaining this nasty condition, what causes it, which dogs are prone and what to do about it.

We’ve had a cat brought in this morning they has sadly been hit by a car. She is chipped but we are struggling to find the owner

She is a young to middle/aged female dark tortoiseshell medium haired cat.

She was found near Nature Trials on the Cawston Road.

Please share folks so we can try and find her owners.

♻️ Did you know that medical blister packaging cannot go in normal household recycling bins? ♻️

We now have the ability to take your used medication packaging and send it for recycling! Please bring your used prescription blister packs to the surgery and we will do the rest!

Don’t worry if there is any medication remaining, we can dispose of it properly too!

(Before anyone asks, the cling film is to stop naughty dogs cocking their legs on the cardboard box!)

📣 Update 23/5/24 - this little cat is still missing and there have been no sightings. We’ve had traps out and still no success. Could everyone share this post and keep an eye out around Bilton Area. Thank you.

After 44 years, veterinary nurse Hazel Barnes retired today. Staff and clients will miss her fantastic caring nature and so many animals have benefitted from her skills and expertise over the years.

We all wish her the very best for the future and a huge THANK YOU for all you have done. Xx

Yes, we know we have hardly had the warmest summer, but this has come up in conversation today about some very poor advice doing the rounds on social media about managing heat stroke.

Heat stroke can be fatal if not managed appropriately. We have done a blog explaining this nasty condition, what causes it, which dogs are prone and what to do about it.

Just a reminder folks, that from tonight onwards, our Out of Hours provider has changed to Vets Now. You now have a choice of taking your pet to either the Coventry or Northampton branches if you need care when we are closed. Further information, including location/directions can be found on our website at www.biltonvets.co.uk/emergencies

This poor little lady was brought in by Lowhills Animal Sanctuary with a section of drain pipe stuck round her neck!

A quick sedation and utilising a dental burr (normally used for taking teeth out) allowed us to finally release her. Luckily it hadn’t been on too tight but certainly she will feel better now.

We are recruiting! Do you have a passion for animal care and want to work alongside our fantastic team of seven vets and nine nurses?

There is a nationwide supply issue with the Kennel Cough (KC) Vaccine that we use. We are not sure how long this will last and our current stocks are quite low.

A current plan is to prioritise the remaining KC supplies for those people with dogs going into kennels in the next few weeks (while stocks last). Those who require the KC vaccine with less urgency will be notified when the vaccine is back in stock and then will be able to come back to see a nurse for the vaccine.

We apologise for this inconvenience and please do feel free to contact us if you require any further information.

Please keep Advent Calendars out of the reach of dogs! We have had 3 dogs in today already who have scoffed the choccy goodies inside...

Dark chocolate or cocoa-based products are much more dangerous than milk chocolate and most calendars contain only small amounts - however, some of the premium brands can be quite risky!

Look what we found down a kitten’s ear - massive amount of ear mites! This must have been driving her mad, but thankfully treating them is usually easy and straightforward. These are magnified about 40x here. You could just about see them with the naked eye.

We have updated our phone system. All calls now go via the main number 01788 812650. You will then get menu options for Repeat Prescriptions*, Reception or In-Patients.

The old numbers will still work for now but will be getting switched off at some point in the future.

*Please remember our online ordering service for repeat medication. This is often much easier for you to use and helps us hugely as it does free up a nurse to help with the animals!

We are having some essential maintenance done on our PHONE and IT systems on Thursday 6th October. This means that there may be some time when you cannot get through on the normal numbers. A mobile service will be available, so if you can't reach us - please call 07754 580555.

We are hoping this will be for a few hours in the morning, but we all know how these things often don't go according to plan...

Sadly, we’ve had a deceased cat brought in today. He is a large grey neutered male and short haired.

He was found on the Coventry Road between Long Lawford and Church Lawford.

No microchip and no collar.

Please contact us if you think he may be yours.
