“What is this thing on my leg?” 😻
Handsome Milo was here for his castration and loved his cat castle but was not as keen on his bandage!
All of our patients have an intravenous (IV) cannula placed into a vein, which enables us to administer medications directly into the bloodstream, provide fluid therapy and draw multiple blood samples with minimal patient discomfort or stress. The intravenous cannula is bandaged in place for patient comfort and to protect the site.
We always apply local anaesthetic cream to numb the skin before placing an IV cannula 🥰🐾

It’s that wonderful time of the year again!
Lambs are being born in the fields around us, so don’t forget to keep dogs on leads around sheep and stick to paths. Even a lovely, playful dog can be really scary to pregnant ewes and little lambs. ❤️🐑

Here is Gorgeous Button who came in to see Vet Sarah for her booster vaccine. Button absolutely loves food so we gave her a lick-e-lix to help distract her whilst she had the injection. As you can see the food worked well to distract Button!
Button you are so lovely! 🥰

This week is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), a global campaign that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance and the dangers it poses to both human and animal health.
It's critical that we preserve the effectiveness of our antibiotics for as long as possible, which can be achieved by only using them when necessary. The battle against antibiotic resistance is a collective effort, and we all have a role to play.
We’re going blue to raise awareness. Are you ready to do your part?

The loud bangs and flashing lights of fireworks can be distressing for small animals. As Bonfire Night approaches, ensuring that your pets are well-prepared for the occasion is important. If you own small animals like rabbits or guinea pigs, here are some tips to help them remain calm and happy.
🧶Provide extra bedding if your pet lives outdoors so they can burrow down and feel safe from any bright lights and loud noises. This will give them a comfortable and secure space to hide away from the excitement.
🏡Consider bringing your pet indoors for the night to shield them from the noise and commotion of the evening. Playing some relaxing music can also help to muffle the sound of fireworks and create a calming atmosphere.
🚪If your pet already lives indoors, close curtains and windows to dampen the sound of loud bangs and create a more peaceful environment.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
