Blood been gently agitated to prevent clotting
When Gus came to Norfolk on holiday he wasn't planning on a trip to the vets.
Whilst out enjoying himself he decided to eat a crab 🦀 bait bag complete with dried fish 🐟 contents.
Luckily a team effort we where able to retrieve the bag from deep inside to stomach with the endoscope saving Gus from a major surgical procedure.
Below is a video of the bag coming out and pictures of the bag sat in the pylorus of the stomach (the end bit of the stomach that lets contents through to the small intestines)
Hi everyone, some updates about changes to our out of hours provision. Hopefully this explains all if you haven't received a letter from us.
We recently told you about our parternship with Vidivet - heres a guide to how it works!
*** This lovely boy is still looking for his forever home. Can anyone help please? ***
This is Mateo, he was brought in as a stray a couple of weeks ago, has been nursed back to health by our nursing team and is looking for a new home.
We want to find him a fabulous forever home with someone who will love and care for him.
He does have some minor issues with one of his eye reflexes and we are not yet sure of the long term consequences of this, although he seems to be be able to see well at present.
If you would like to meet him with a view to offering him a him then please ring us on 01485 544201 and speak to one of the nursing team.
Does anyone recognise this bird? It seems very keen to get inside so must be lost from somewhere- has been found at Stanhoe.
**Update, haven’t managed to catch it unfortunately and haven’t seen it again this afternoon. Hoping it may be seen again tomorrow **
This is Mieke, she is an older Labrador who came in last week with a condition called vestibular syndrome, which may look a bit like a stroke but is actually an inner ear problem.
One of the signs we look for is called nystagmus, this is a flicking of the eyes and is really hard to describe accurately, but Mieke showed it really nicely! Other signs to look for are a wobblyness on the back legs and a tilting of the head. Fortunately most cases gradually recover but do take time and it can recur.
We have seen a few bad cases of ear mites recently, fortunately all have been easily cured with treatment. Here is a little video we took of the critters - not for the squeamish!
