Imagine you are deaf. You can’t hear your smoke alarm or alarm clock. You can’t hear your text messages. You miss out on social interactions. That’s what life is like for deaf people, and it can be very isolating. A hearing dog can make a big difference. You can help our charity of the year – Hearing Dogs for Deaf People – help a deaf person leave loneliness behind, by adding a donation via Pennies when you pay by card. Just a small donation can help deaf people escape isolation and reconnect with life. Thank you.

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be harmful. We control their environment, their access to water and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling unwell.

Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.

If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink and seek advise from your veterinary practice.

🌟 Purrrfect Pebbles is our Patient of the Month for June 🌟

Pebble’s has had quite a journey with us last month after being diagnosed with Cholangiohepatitis. This is an inflammatory condition of the bile ducts and surrounding liver cells.

Pebble’s was admitted for bloods, fluids and supportive care with us before transferring to MiNight Out of Hours for further care and was fitted with a oesophageal (feeding) tube. Following her hospitalisation Pebble’s was finally sent home with oral antibiotics and has been receiving regular checks and bloods tests with us. Pebble’s has now had her feeding tube removed and has gained weight and back to her normal happy self eating and drinking!

We are all so proud of you Pebbles for being so strong and brave ❤️ ###

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them.

An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV). Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

Both indoor and outdoor rabbits require vaccinations to keep them safe from infectious disease. Young rabbits are particularly vulnerable to serious illnesses, so it’s important to get them vaccinated early.
Rabbits can be vaccinated from five weeks old and will need yearly booster vaccinations throughout their life to maintain immunity.

Microchipping rabbits is not a legal requirement but is strongly recommended. Rabbits are excellent escape artists and, if they manage to escape the garden, it can be difficult to identify where they have come from.

Since you cannot check your rabbit’s teeth at home, it is important to look out for signs of dental disease. There are many things that you can look out for that might indicate that your rabbit has some sort of dental health issue. If you notice any of these signs, it is important that you bring your rabbit to your vet for an oral assessment as soon as possible. Stopping eating altogether is an emergency.

Flystrike happens more often in warm weather, and in rabbits who have soiled fur (often due to poor diet, obesity or arthritis). Throughout the spring and summer rabbits must be checked twice daily and any soiled fur cleaned. If you find any sign of fly eggs or maggots you must arrange for your rabbit to see a vet as soon as possible.

Our Story

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.
