Today is World Diabetes Day. Just like us, our furry friends can develop diabetes - and the sooner itโ€™s spotted, the better it can be managed. Common signs of diabetes in pets include:

๐Ÿ’ง Increased thirst
๐Ÿ’› Increased urination
โš–๏ธ Weight loss
๐Ÿพ Appetite changes

If youโ€™ve noticed any of these changes in your pet, itโ€™s always worth getting them checked for peace of mind.

Meet Milton

Milton is one of our receptionists Terri's dog. He recently had a procedure to remove a small mass from his eyelid. This was followed by a dental.

Claire, along with nurses Meghan and Rebecca did the following

โ™ก Induced anaesthesia
โ™ก Prepared the surgical site, this involved cleaning the area with povidine iodine and saline
โ™ก Carefully monitored throughout. This included blood pressure monitoring, ECG, Capnography, temperature and SpO2, all done by a Registered Veterinary Nurse
โ™ก Claire carefully removing the mass and suturing the site
โ™ก Performing a dental with scale and polish. Milton required 3 teeth to be removed by Claire
โ™ก After waking from recovery he was then handed over to Nurse Alex to be carefully monitored in

An hour after his procedure Milton was able to eat some chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He was such a brave boy and a very good patient. Below show some of the stages we go through such as placing a intravenous cannula and recovery.

We can't wait to see Milton back for more cuddles at his post operative check.

Gorgeous Norman.

Norman recently came in to see one of our nurses for his 6 month health check. He came in with his brother Spencer, but due to major abdominal surgery earlier in the year, his consult was handled in a more sensitive manner.

Healthy pet checks include checking Norman's

โ˜† Eyes, ears and coat condition
โ˜† Body and muscle condition score, including weight check
โ˜† Listening to his heart and lungs
โ˜† Feeling his abdomen
โ˜† Mobility
โ˜† Temperature if indicated (normally not necessary if no concerns)
โ˜† Discussing his history. Such as appetite, drinking, urinating and defaecating. Also his demeanor.
โ˜† We also asked Normans owner if there are any concerns
โ˜† Lastly, we hope to of given Norman a good experience with us, without any invasive procedures

Six month health checks are available once a year, in between vaccinations on the healthy pet club.

Norman had a perfect bill of health and we hope he remains healthy for the next 6 months until we see him again.

We remember both humans and animals๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ•Š ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’œ

Their blood stained the land, as they served with pride. A duty to their master, they stood side by side. From the sky, to the sea, through a vast open land, together they foughtโ€”both animal and man.

They flew through the sky, as messengers on wing dodging bombs and bullets, for salvation to bring. Their wings did strain, till their hearts near burst, they flew day and night, never fearing the worst.

They walked together midst a bomb spangled field, both dog and handler, neither one would yield. The bond and the friendships they shared through war, will live and be remembered for ever more.

Through the sand so fine, they lolloped to the fore theyโ€™re the ships of the desert, the Camel Corp. Over hills and through valleys, the line did twine as they carried their loads to the firing line.

Into combat they rode, both man and steed, through the fear of battle, they were a special breed. The mateship of horse and rider was strong made the parting in death, seem so heartless and wrong.

As beasts of burden, they were put to the test, with hearts filled with anguish, they gave their best. They died where they fell, while the others pulled on.

Are they lost in lifeโ€™s story, can we still hear their song? The theatre of warโ€”hell for animal and man whatever the cost, they cannot understand.

So remember them kindly, as you walk through life, for they too served proudly, to help make things right.

Charlie came in to see us recently for a nail trim. Despite being at the vets numerous times as he belongs to one of our nurses, Charlie gets very anxious. To make the visit better for him he was given medication that makes me slightly sedated. This meant Charlie felt a little sad after his ordeal and mum needed to buy a toy to make it up to him.

This was Charlie once home. ๐Ÿ•โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅน

Sweet Sylvie,

Sylvie came in for her first post operative check a few weeks ago post spay. A fun filled kitten, Sylvie required extra help from some medication to keep her calm in her recovery.

As you can see Sylvie is wearing a very fashionable body suit. This protects her from interfering with her surgery site, minimising her infection risk.

To help sweeten the deal of coming back to the vets, Sylvie was offered an array of treats. Both in the yoghurt and dreamie variety.

What a absolute pleasure to look after her. โค๏ธ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’‰

Meet Pierre and Paul โค๏ธ

We were lucky enough to have these two in for dentals last week. Although we don't think they shared our enthusiasm . In order to make their stay as comfortable and as least scary as possible we used some techniques.

1. Use a natural pheromone plug in, in the kennels

2. Use a calming spray on beds and when handling

3. Use numbing creams before taking blood samples and placing intravenous cannulas

4. Play classical music in the kennels

5. Finally, give lots of cuddles and reassurance

We use all these techniques on all species and all patients.

See some pictures of their stay and Paul's before and after pictures

Contact us on 02380 228570 if you think your pet would benefit from a dental.

October is Black Cat Awareness Month - a time to celebrate these sleek, mysterious, and often misunderstood felines. Despite their charm and beauty, black cats are sadly less likely to be adopted due to outdated myths and superstitions. This month is all about changing perceptions and showing the world just how wonderful black cats truly are.
