Meet Lexi and Pippy 🐰🐰

Lexi came in recently for her spay surgery, she arrived with her bonded bunny friend Pippy and their favorite snacks.

Rabbits need to continually eat even when they have procedures to ensure their guts keep moving and they do not develop gut statis.

Lexi will be seen for several post operative checks to make sure she has recovered from her anaesthesia and that she is eating normally and passing faeces.

Absolutely devastating damage to Avon Cat Rescue during the storm. We know a number of our feline patients have found their forever homes thanks to Rosemary and her team, so if you are able to help please see their page or share this post 🐱

We have had a disaster during the storm. We think five cats escaped, hopefully safely, but we haven't seen any in the garden yet. We will try to catch them over the next few days. We are most grateful that nobody was hurt, but we will need to repair the damage. Fundraising will need to be planned. Please support us if you can.

Thank you so much for all your help. Three traumatised cats have been found. Two still missing.

Who remembers tiny Rory from May 2023?

Well she came to see Jasmine the nurse for her 6 month health check on her health plan recently. Jasmine checked Rory's weight and body condition score and listened to her heart. Jasmine and Rory's owner discussed any concerns at home,

Rory will be starting a diet or at least not being able to polish off her sisters meals!

If you want to book your pet in for their 6 month health check, you can speak to reception or complete the online appointment request form.

CHRISTMAS TRAVEL

Unlike Santa and his reindeer you will need to obtain a Animal Health Certificate (unless you have a European Passport).

If you are planning to travel abroad with your pet over the Christmas period, please speak to reception as soon as you have the dates. This is to ensure we are able to get you booked in and get the relevant paperwork done in time.

Meet Mog and Merlin 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

These handsome boys came in this week for castration and kept us thoroughly entertained for the day.

Castration reduces the risk of roaming, fighting and spraying. It also prevents certain types of cancer.

12.11.24 UPDATE: This dog has been collected by the local Dog Warden as we have been unable to locate an owner. Thank you to everyone who shared missing dogs, commented and got in touch to try and help find their home.

We have had a stray dog handed into us, found on the Fosseway (A429) by a member of the public. There is no microchip so proof of ownership will be required, so we are not releasing any further details.

Please phone us on 01608 661232 if you are missing your dog.
