โผ๏ธ WARNING- GRAPHIC IMAGES โผ๏ธ
This is the lovely Ted, a 10 month old Cockerpoo ๐ถ Ted came into Bay Tree for his neutering procedure with one of our wonderful vets, Courtney ๐ฉบ However, Ted's procedure was slightly different to that of a general castrate in a male dog as he had Unilateral Cryptorchidism. This means that only one of Ted's testicles descended into the sc***um, with the other failing to descend from the abdomen/groin.
It is super important to have these testicles surgically removed to prevent possible health issues, as the lovely Ted did ๐ถ If left, testicles retained in the abdomen have a higher chance of becoming cancerous. They also run the risk of Spermatic Cord Torsion (twisting on itself), which causes severe abdominal pain and requires emergency surgery.
Ted was a very brave boy for his procedure, he had plenty of TLC and cuddles from our nursing staff during his stay with us ๐ฅฐ he is still having some post operative checks with our nurses but is recovery well โค๏ธ

Fireworks aren't always fun for everyone, they can cause fear and stress to our pets. We have put together some helpful tips for this bonfire night!
๐ Shut windows, door and curtains
๐ Make hiding spaces for your lovely pets, somewhere they can choose to go to feel safe
๐ Avoid letting dogs and cats outside whilst fireworks are likely to be going off and walk dogs before dark
๐ Keep the TV or radio on (Classic FM are dedicating Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th between 5-9pm to 'pet classics' to help keep our pets calm)
๐ If your pet is still extremely stressed during fireworks, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Calling all bunny owners!
Sophie, one of our veterinary nurses, is doing a masters in McTimoney chiropractic for animals. She is in her final year and doing her dissertation on the benefits of chiropractic treatment for rabbits.
Would any of you be interested in bringing your bunnies along to the practice on Saturday 4th November for an hour or two to take part?
The study involves rabbits hopping in sand and measuring their hop length. Each rabbit will hop along the sand twice. Some rabbits will receive a McTimoney treatment in between, others will be palpated only.
It is a non-invasive, pain free and ethical study that hopes to highlight how chiropractic treatment can improve rabbits' mobility.
If you are interested, please contact the practice on 01299 879847 and ask to speak to Sophie.
Or e mail at: [email protected]
Thank you!
We hope to see you and your buns soon!

โญ๏ธIMPORTANT CHANGESโญ๏ธ
From September 2023, our governing body, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons has implemented changes to the way in which veterinary surgeries can prescribe and dispense medications.
In particular, this affects how we prescribe antibiotics, antifungals, anti-parasitics, and controlled drugs.
We already comply with the majority of these changes, but we would like to remind our clients of the rules that we must work within.
A patient must be physically examined by a veterinary surgeon before any antibiotics or antifungals are prescribed. This includes oral tablets, eye ointments, ear preparations, or topical creams. You will be asked to book a consultation with the vet even if your pet is experiencing a recurrent infection.
A patient must be physically examined at least every 12 months before any prescription-only flea or wormer preparations are dispensed. This will usually be carried out during your petโs annual booster appointment. However, if you do not vaccinate your pet, you will be asked to attend an appointment with the vet at a reduced cost ๐ฉบ
We are only able to dispense controlled medications, such as certain pain relief tablets or anti-epileptic drugs, in quantities of 4 weeksโ worth at a time.
There will be further information available on our website, or please ask reception to forward you a copy of our client information sheet on this matter.
Many thanks,
Bay Tree Vets ๐ถ๐ฑ๐

HAVE A LOVELY EASTER!
Bay Tree Vets has been a companion animal veterinary practice for over 20 years. Originally a subsidiary branch of a larger practice, it later became an independent practice in 1998 when it was purchased by Mr. Robert Green.
Today the practice remains independent and is owned by Veterinary Surgeon Dr. Laura Taylor BSc MA VetMB CertAVP(VD) MRCVS.
Laura took over the practice when Mr Green retired in late 2019. She lives locally and has worked at Bay Tree Vets in the past. After graduating from Cambridge University in 2008, Laura has worked in several practices in Worcestershire and further afield. She completed an advanced certificate in veterinary dermatology in 2016 and enjoys all aspects of general practice. A strong believer in keeping veterinary practices independent and local, Laura hopes to continue the tradition of Bay Tree Vets that Mr. Green created over the last 20 years.
All at Bay Tree would like to thank Bob for his many years of service and wish him a very happy retirement.
