Happy Easter from all the team at Goldenhill Vets4Pets 🐣 🍫 💐

20/03/2024

With Easter just around the corner, we wanted to share this important reminder with you… Rabbits are for life, not just for Easter 🐰🐰

Bunnies are often a popular choice of gift for Easter, but despite being the third most popular pet in the UK, they are among the most abused and neglected 😪

Too many spend miserable lives confined to a hutch, alone and with little or no space to exercise. And around 67,000 rabbits a year end up in rescue centres. All because owners don’t know how to look after them properly.

So, before you commit to pet rabbits, please head to our website and educate yourself on everything involved in their care. If you can’t commit to giving them what they need to live full and contented lives, then rabbits aren’t for you.

Happy Mothers Day to all the pet Mums ❤️

***Important client notice***
On 1st September 2023 our regulatory body, The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), introduced new guidance on the prescribing of certain Veterinary medicines.
Supply of POM-V’s (Prescription Only Medicines) has always been tightly controlled, however, the new guidance redefines some of the rules.

Perhaps the biggest change for clients, involves the prescribing and supply of POM-V parasite control products. This includes various spot-on or oral products used to prevent or kill internal worms, e.g. roundworms or lungworm and external parasites such as ticks, fleas or mites.

To be able to supply these products they must be specifically "prescribed" by a Veterinary Surgeon at the time of a physical examination i.e. a consultation. The Vet must specify the product, strength, number of doses, dosing instructions and a date that the prescription expires.
Normally, this prescribing can be done at the time of an Annual Health check or at any other consultation involving a physical examination. However, if the pet changes weight significantly so that a change of product is required, or a change of parasiticide product is required then another examination would be needed.
These rules affect the main anti-parasite medications we use, however, there are still some products which are not classed as POM-V’s and therefore don't have the same restrictions.

How will this affect me and my pet?

If your pet needs to have a POM-V parasite product and it doesn't have a valid, specific prescription from a previous consultation, you will then need to have a consultation with a Vet who will be able to prescribe the appropriate POM-V parasite control product.
If your pet should require this product for future use, then they can specify this in the prescription for future dispensing up until the expiry date.
If you are on one of our Complete Care Plans you can use a 'nurse consult perk' to obtain this prescription. This appointment will be with a Veterinary Surgeon and is only to obtain the flea and worm prescription.

If you are not on one of our Complete Care Plans, we are offering a reduced consultation for £28, again this is only to obtain the flea and worm prescription.
Can we please remind clients that we have a 48 hour notice for all repeat medications.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚
