FESTIVE FOOD DANGERS
A cheeky patient decided to tuck into a whole tub of roses chocolates earlier this week… like us, he couldn’t resist the temptation, unaware of the danger of chocolate toxicity and packaging!!
During the festive season be sure to keep treats such as chocolate, mince pies, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding and alcohol out of reach from pets as these can pose a significant risk to health.

Our practice is taking part in the Antibiotic Amnesty this November.
What to do if you have leftover or unused antibiotics:
- Return them to your vet practice for safe disposal
- Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics could contribute to antimicrobial resistance and pollute the environment through waterways, affecting our wildlife
- Don’t ever give your pet, or any pet for which they haven’t been prescribed, left-over or out of date antibiotics. Using antibiotics when not needed could risk side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis for your pet, mean that your pet’s condition may not be treatable, and contributes to antimicrobial resistance

Deafness can be a very isolating disability, so a hearing dog offers constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them. This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely life-changing.

Have you seen the recent rules that make it a legal requirement for everyone in Great Britain who keeps birds outdoors to register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)?
You can find more details here:

The rules apply to poultry and other captive birds including pets and aviary birds. You do not need to register indoor birds such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels and
finches if they are fully housed in a dwelling (your home or another indoor
structure) and with no access to the open air.

Shannon Lodge Veterinary Surgery is a single site small animal veterinary practice based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
We treat companion animals and provide preventative health care and a wide range of medical and surgical investigations and treatments.
At Shannon Lodge we aim to provide a professional, friendly and caring veterinary service. Our dedicated veterinary team strive to promote and maintain the highest standard of veterinary care for our clients and their pets.
The practice was founded in 1999 by Francis Flynn MVB MRCVS. Shannon Lodge was initially established in a small premises nearby in Outram Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, but within a couple of years the practice’s success required that a larger premises was needed.
The practice moved to Kirkby Folly Road in Sutton-in-Ashfield in 2002. These premises required extensive internal renovation from a car-spraying retail outlet to the modern, spacious well equipped veterinary practice found today. Further extensions were completed in 2008 due to continual growth of the practice. The building now provides:
•Large reception area
•Four consulting rooms
•Modern and well equipped theatre
•Separate X-ray and ultrasound room
•Large prep area for undertaking clinical procedures
•In-house laboratory
•Kennels and separate isolation unit
The practice team has grown from a sole veterinary practitioner to a well-qualified and experienced veterinary team consisting of veterinary surgeons, qualified veterinary nurses, nursing assistants, receptionists and a practice manager.
The practice has achieved Small Animal General Practice status in the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme in recognition of the standard of veterinary care and facilities provided at Shannon Lodge.
