Morning all!!

We are back.......
From Monday 1st of June I shall be resuming training.
This is how it will work.
From Monday I shall be offering 1-2-1 training at my field ensuring all social distancing measures are met.

FIRST CLASS DELIVERY SERVICE will also resume on Monday (this is a premium service where I come and collect your dog and train it for you for an hour at a time)

Then on Wednesday 17th june puppy classes will be back......(5-6pm)
outdoors in the training field at Market deeping.
complete with lots of social distancing measures and safety systems in place.
I am lucky enough to have a very large field and I have some really cool original ideas to keep you all seperate but still being able to take part in a class with your pup.
I also have back up plans in place if the weather decides to turn or for any other “pandemic” reason we can’t train.
The class plans are all ready and the original layouts all in place ready to get us back up and running safely.

All other classes will resume beginning of July once the puppy classes are up and running and systems have been succesfully in place for a couple weeks.

All online services will remain forever as these have proved extremely valuable and some great results from Pups so far.

Oh and of course the social media hilariousness shall carry on.....sorry 🤣

Seriously I can’t thank you all enough for your following, likes, share, comments, support while this madness has all been going on.
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU😘

See you all very soon 😊😊😊😊

Thank you everyone for a fantastic session today! What a great enthusiastic group!

Soooo...... just when we thought we had enough vets..... our lovely business partner has gotten pregnant (god damn it Laura!) and we are looking for the right person to fill the gap!

We are a busy small animal practice with a flipping brilliant team.
My nurses are loud, rowdy and stubborn about animal welfare. My vets are funny, relaxed and committed to providing the best service they can (depending on the VERY varied demographic!).

The current cat spay record is 7 minutes but I’d like a challenge!

We have insured clients that demand a full work up as well as cash strapped ones that require some ingenuity. You’ll spend one day scoping an oesophagus or diligently working up a complicated atopy but the next clambering through a hoarder’s house with the RSPCA covered in poo.

We meet up for quizzes and brutal games of Cards against Humanity. This month was a Friends pub quiz which involved a lot of shouting and gesturing. Every member of the team will defend you to the death and buy you Haribo when the third RTA arrives and lunch is looking like a distant dream on the horizon.

Here is my new grad wearing my ‘ROBE OF KNOWLEDGE’. Ok, I know how to put on a Halti but quite frankly, she can work up a PUPD much better than me! 😂

We work 40hrs/wk, one day off a week, no OOH, 1.5 weekends in 6 and full JVP support (that’s me. I will WhatsApp or FaceTime whenever, whether I’m in the bath or at BSAVA Congress).

Going forward I have big plans. I want to empower my team with regular CPD meetings and I’ve already organised colleagues to spend time with Opthalmology specialists and the nearby wildlife hospital.

If you feel in the mood for a change, I’m here to talk. I want the right person that can complement our team and bring new skills.

Email me on [email protected].

We’re waiting for the right person. It could be you.

Salary £32k to £50k depending on experience

A huge thank you to everyone that has attended a First Aid Workshop! I am so proud of the skills you’ve learnt and hopefully you’ve gained something too!
The next workshop will be in 2020 and I can’t wait to meet the new learners and empower them on their journey!

09/11/2019

Today we’re talking about choking. This is a horrible scary emergency situation that I hope you never have to experience. On my first aid courses we explore this in more detail to make sure that you’re fully prepared!

08/11/2019

How would you treat choking in your dog? There are many reasons your dog might be choking or appear to be choking and I go through all of them on my workshops!

07/11/2019

Choking can be a terrifying experience for both you and your dog and you need to act quickly.

My first aid workshops give you both the knowledge and skills to be able to deal with common emergencies.

19/10/2019

Uh oh! Injury on a walk and we’re in the middle of the woods!

Would you know what to do?

On my Workshops, we talk through all scenarios from simple cuts and scrapes to CPR. Each session is tailored to you and ensures you feel confident with administering First Aid.

Thank you so much to Well Dog Hydrotherapy for having me host a Canine First Aid Workshop!

We had a fantastic time working through how to deal with emergency situations and getting hands on with some willing spaniel volunteers!

If you’d like to host an event or are interested in attending one, please get in touch!

Nom nom nom........
Everybody loves chocolate and most people know that it’s actually toxic to our canine friends.

But do you know what other things are toxic? Some of them might surprise you!

On my workshops, we explore the common things that can give your dogs real trouble and talk through what to do if they come across them!

27/09/2019

Hello everyone!

Due to a work related injury, I have a right arm that is out of action! However, I’m still very much looking forward to our First Aid Course on Sunday!

You lot will just have to work a bit harder in the practicals! 😉

Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Otherwise I’ll see you there!

20/09/2019

Hello and welcome to Holly Norman Canine First Aid!
I’m a veterinary surgeon working in Peterborough and I see emergencies every day. I realised there was a gap in knowledge between vets and pet owners that meant that pets often weren’t getting appropriate first aid care. I would like to bridge that gap and empower dog owners and professionals so that they can confidently administer first aid in an emergency situation.

Unlike many first aid courses, I run every one. That means a fully qualified veterinary surgeon is available for questions at all times.

19/09/2019

Do you know how to assess your dog? Today we’re talking about how to check your dog’s heart rate, pulses and breathing rates!

04/09/2019

Hello everyone,

We’re getting really excited about our upcoming First Aid Workshops. There’ll be practical sessions dealing with clinical assessment of your dogs, bandaging, CPR and even poisons.
As always, I’ll have some willing furry volunteers with me so you can practise real life situations as well as asking any questions you may have.

See you there!

Xylitol is a sweetener commonly found in chewing gum and other sweets.
But it’s highly toxic to dogs and can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar, leading to seizures, liver failure and even death.

Keep these treats away from your pets!

If they do eat any, seek prompt veterinary attention as the quicker treatment is started, the better the chance of recovery

The VPIS have been monitoring cases of xylitol toxicity, particularly surrounding a new range of chewing gums containing a very high concentration of xylitol, and recently published an article in the Veterinary Record. It appears that this type of formulation causes severe hypoglycaemia more quickly than traditional chewing gums and immediate veterinary assessment and treatment is required.

See the article here:
https://veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/content/185/5/147.1.full?ijkey=EV86OVYlzHWa6zR&keytype=ref

As always, if you have a suspected case of xylitol toxicity, call the VPIS on 02073 055 055 for treatment advice.

Owners can call our Animal PoisonLine on 01202 50 90 00

Bloat is one of the most terrifying emergencies you may experience as a pet owner.
The stomach fills with gas and can twist around itself, cutting off the blood supply to the organs. If not treated promptly, it can result in death.

Signs of bloat include non productive retching (trying to be sick but not bringing anything up), swelling of the stomach, lethargy and staggering.

Large deep chested breeds are more susceptible so remember:

Always leave at least an hour between feeding and walking

Use slow bowls and toys to prevent gobbling of food.

This X-Ray shows a bloated twisted stomach. The two highlighted areas are gas trapped in the twisted stomach. A normal stomach should just have a single area of gas above the stomach acid.

Learn more about dealing with bloat on my first aid workshops!
