🐈⬛ Frankie 🐈⬛
This cheeky chap came in for his 6 month health check as part of our healthy pet club.
We always try and make your pets visit to us as stress free as possible.
As you can see Frankie was absolutely loving his visit.
We really enjoyed seeing you Frankie and glad you had a nice time 🐈⬛🥰😍👌🏼
🐈 Robert 🐈
This little video is about how this extremely handsome chap Robert ended up on our operating table with a stomach full of foam, and having to have emergency surgery!
Robert decided that he would have a little snack on his owners knee pad! Unfortunately this is not something that would pass through, causing a blockage.
This can be life threatening, so our team swiftly took x-rays and proceeded to remove the pieces of foam (and there was lots) from his stomach!
After and hour of waking up from his surgery Robert was up and about eating his normal food again.
He was seen back at the surgery 24hours later and is making a great recovery ❤️🩹
Well done Robert, and thank you for being the very best boy, but maybe just stick to the cat food from now on!
🎄Bella🎄
This beautiful lady came in to have a procedure on her eye.
She was in full Christmas spirit so our little nurse elf custom made her buster collar to match the Christmas vibes 🎄🥰😍
Well done for being a super brave girl Bella and Merry Christmas 🎅🏼
🤍 Lilly 🤍
This absolute sweetheart came in for her spay procedure.
This was her as she was waking up having all the scritches and cuddles, as you can see Lilly woke up very well and her tail hasn’t stopped wagging.
Well done for being such a brave lady Lilly, we wish you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
👻🧡Spooky season has arrived at Abbey Vets🧡 👻
🍂 Autumn 🍂
This wonderful lady has been regularly coming to see our nurse Jo for her desensitisation clinics and is the perfect example of how well these clinics can work.
She has been working on lots of things to include her confidence around body handling and muzzle training. Autumn is a super bright dog who loves to please and is now working on some more advanced training, that is her place training and impulse control.
Impulse control or self control as it is sometimes know helps dogs in many ways! It helps them stay focused, avoid frustration, and make good decisions.
Dogs can have trouble controlling their impulses, especially when they're excited or worried, which can lead to undesirable behaviors like barking, pulling on the lead, or jumping up. Impulse control training can help dogs learn to resist these temptations and make better choices.
Well done for being the very best girl Autumn and we will see you again soon.
💚 RVN’s = Really Versatile Nurses! Or Registered Veterinary Nurse for the proper title!
As we like to keep on trend with the most current social media platforms, we did this little video to showcase just how versatile our nurses are! This is just a small collection of roles our amazing nurses preform on a daily basis 💚💚💚
💚 Consulting Nurse - here at Abbey Vets have a very busy consulting schedule, where they conduct many different consults including their own specialised consults. Seren has special feline Nurse clinics and is our feline advocate and Nurses Vikki and Jo have special desensitisation clinics, also our Nurse Eleanor has a special interest in rehabilitation clinics.
💚 Dental Nurse - Our Nurses are trained to administer local anaesthetic (and preform nerve blocks) take dental x-rays and preform scale and polishes.
💚 Scrub Nurse - they are responsible for preparation of the surgical patient, setting up theatre and prep, working out and drawing up drugs used for the procedure and lots more. They make the operating day go smoothly and efficiently.
💚 X-ray nurse - as RVN’s they can carry out and preform x-rays, they can also become radiation protection supervisors meaning that they carry out maintenance checks and preform health and safety checks.
💚 Theatre nurse - this includes assisting the vet in surgery, as well as preform schedule 3 surgeries themselves.
As you can see our RVN’s are extremely versatile and have many different skills. Go team RVN’s 💚💜💚
We are proud to employ RVN’s that have been through vigorous training to get their RVN status as a protected and professional title.

😍 Misty 😍
This extremely handsome chap came in for some investigations into why he was struggling to eat his biscuits.
On examination it was found he had some ulcers on the tongue, potentially caused by a virus. But we hope, with some medication to help he will be on his way back to his normal eating habits.
As you can see he was enjoying his chin scratches after waking up from his sedation.
It was a pleasure to look after you today Misty 💙

🐈⬛ Let’s talk about cat carriers!! 🐈⬛
We all dread getting the cat box out from the shed, garage or wherever we may store them. Then we have to have a battle to get them in it! BUT there is a better way!
One of the main things is making sure your cat has a positive association with the box. Our top tips on how to achieve this include…
🐈⬛ Have the box set up at home at all times, with the door always open.
🐈⬛Place this in a nice calm and quiet area of the house that the cat has access to.
🐈⬛ If you can have the box raised up off the floor as cats like to sleep and relax up high.
🐈⬛ Make it a nice comfortable den for your cat, and drape a blanket over the top so they can go and hide in it if they want.
🐈⬛ Place some tasty treats in the carrier for your cat to find.
🐈⬛ Use calming and relaxing sprays in the box.
🐈⬛ Do not ever force your cat in the box.
We have put together a short video on how you help you and your cat with transportation and choosing the right cat box. We hope this helps.
