Important Update 🐾🐾

Transition to the Leptospirosis 4 Vaccine for Your Dog

Your dogs vaccination regime protects against several potentially fatal diseases, one of these being Leptospirosis. Dogs will be exposed to this via contaminated water, especially wherever rats are around. There have been several cases recently in the Sheffield area.

We want to inform you that our vaccine manufacturer is discontinuing the Lepto 2 (L2) vaccine. All dogs will now start on or transition to the Lepto 4 (L4) vaccine. This change is based on the latest recommendations from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), which highlight the enhanced protection offered by the Lepto 4 vaccine with no increase in vaccination-associated side effects.

Why Lepto 4?

Broader Protection:

Lepto 4 protects against four strains of Leptospira, including those responsible for the most common and severe cases of leptospirosis in dogs.

In contrast, Lepto 2 only protects against two strains, leaving dogs at risk for infections from the additional strains.

Increased Efficacy:

Studies show that the Lepto 4 vaccine provides a stronger and longer-lasting immune response, helping your dog fend off leptospirosis more effectively.

What to Expect

Annual Boosters: If your dog is due for their annual booster, they will receive the first dose of the L4 vaccine during this visit. A second dose of L4 will be required four weeks after the first. We are pleased to provide this second dose at no charge to ensure your dog is fully protected.

Adult dogs restarting their vaccination courses will receive the first L4 vaccination today alongside DHP. A second dose of the L4 is required in four weeks’ time.

Puppies: Your dog will receive the first L4 vaccination today alongside the other vaccines they require: distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus (DHP). A second dose of both the L4 and DHP are required in four weeks’ time. You can choose to return in two weeks for the second DHP to allow for earlier socialisation if desired.

Questions?

If you have any questions about the Lepto 4 vaccine or the vaccination process, please don’t hesitate to ask your vet during your visit. We are here to help ensure the health and well-being of your beloved pets.

Thank you for trusting us with your dog’s care!

Great news for Imogen and Uno🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

🩷 Friday Feelgood - The M18 mother, abandoned with her baby on a busy roundabout by the motorway, now have a family. 🩷 🙏

Imogen and Uno settled into their wonderful furever home this week. 🏡

Their adopters have been waited a long time to find the right cats who would suit their family. 🤗 It was certainly worth the wait.

Thank you so much to Robyn and family 🩷 to Julie and Lee for foster space 🩷 and to TLC trapping lost cats for rescuing the vulnerable pair from an unthinkable potential outcome.

Thanks for all your support and to Emma for sponsorship! 🤗

Have a lovely weekend 😊

Cecil & Dotty rescued by Save a Stray needed to be hospitalised with us over the weekend🐾🐾

They are recovering well and have gone back to their foster carer🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

🩵🩷 Cecil & Dotty update 🩵🩷

Cecil and Dotty are just back from 2 nights all inclusive with lovely vet Alan House Veterinary Clinic .👨‍⚕️ 🩺🐾

They have been monitored closely, syringe fed, medicated and kept warm. They are looking a lot better and Dotty is now getting playful, unfortunately Cecil still has loose stools and is weaker than his sister, so careful monitoring is still needed as well as specialist food and more medicine. 🧴💊❤️‍🩹

At the moment we are keeping them seperate from mum and siblings so we can monitor them closely and make sure they eat the correct food for now. Please keep your eyes open for a post about their full family, now spread between 3 foster homes! 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

It's lovely to see they have improved, but the journey to recovery is costly, so any help you can give to these tiny kittens is appreciated. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍❤️‍🩹❤🥰

David in action🐾🐾

David is about to operate on a dog with a torn cruciate ligament at the surgery today. Unfortunately torn cruciate ligaments are fairly common in young active dogs and need surgical repair to reduce pain and long term lameness. Recovery after the operation usually takes 6-8 weeks.
David performs these operations nearly every day in veterinary practices throughout South Yorkshire & Derbyshire.
