This lovely golden oldie is Daisy.

She is almost 14 years old and is a real trooper. She has kept her human parents busy with her adventures that’s for sure.

When Daisy was only a few months old, her curiosity got the better of her and she managed to get in to an altercation with the family cat. As a result, Daisy had to have her eye removed.

Daisy is still managing to keep her parents on their toes and this week she visited us to have a mass removed from the inside of her cheek.

Due to her age, Daisy's anaesthetic was high risk so extra care protocols were adopted. Her parents knew her lump was causing discomfort and was often catching on her teeth and understood the only way to help Daisy was to risk the operation and try to remove as much of the mass as possible.

Daisy’s parents adore her and had to think of her quality of life.

We were delighted to say her anaesthetic was successful and she was up and eating an hour later.
Daisy has now gone home to get spoilt rotten by her devoted owners.

We wish Daisy all the best for her senior years.

Boysie is a regular visitor to the practice as his owner can no longer bathe him on her own.

He doesn’t exactly like baths but because he has skin flare ups, he really benefits from us giving him a regular medicated bath.

To make his bathing experience as pleasant and as stress free as possible, we use Boysie’s favorite things.........Food!

Dogs learn by association so we want Boysie to learn to associate bath time at the vets as a good thing. Bath= food ❤️ !

This week, Boysie is so much calmer than he used to be. He doesn’t struggle to leave anymore and we can in fact give him less treats if we wanted to because he has learnt to be calm now .
Well done Boysie!

Good afternoon to you all apologies for our absence of posts these past months.

We have been working hard to keep providing you with our best service throughout the pandemic.

With the latest government guidelines, easing all COVID restrictions from Monday 19th July, as a practice we have made the decision to continue to implement social distancing and continue wearing PPE.

😷 We will ask you to please continue to wear a face covering when entering our premises.

🐱 When arriving at the practice please be mindful of our social distancing measures and ensure only one person enters the practice and accompanies your pet(s)

🚗 You will be given the choice to either wait in the car whilst your pet is examined, or you can enter the practice.

💊 You may enter the practice to collect medication, food or to pay bills, but again, only one person at a time please.

We have a medium sized team working in very close proximity with one another and need to keep them safe. These measures will allow us to continue to provide the essential service of veterinary medical care and welfare to your pets.

Thank you for your continued support and patience 🙏
