MISSING CAT…

This is Twiglet, he’s a young neutered, semi-feral male cat. He got out of his carrier in the car park when he was brought to the Vets on Friday in Swaffham and is still missing!

The owner has set a trap in the garden of some people who are helping to look for him. He is slightly nervous but the owners have been feeding him and gaining his trust.

Please if you spot him or think you have then please inform us here at Swaffham Vets so we can get in touch with the owner.

Thank you in advance for all your help❤️

We have a very sad boy in with us this morning🐶

At home he was being a mischievous adventurer and on his travels he decided that a battery was his choice for breakfast.

Luckily, his owner had spotted this promptly and brought him straight down for some veterinary treatment. We were able to retrieve the battery without performing surgery since his owner acted so quickly.

We hope once he is home he rests for the day and hopefully his battery eating days end from todays lesson❤️

*If you see your animal eat something they shouldn’t then please act quickly and inform us about this, in order for us to help*

LETS TALK PARASITES🪱🦠🐶

🌟Here is an example of our vet Emily inserting one of the needles for acupuncture, which as you can see is smooth and not painful for the patient at all🌟

❓❔❓ Fun Fact Friday ❓❔❓ 📖 A new fact every week, keep a look out! 📖

Lunchtime

🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦 ❗️❗️ Cuteness alert.. ❗️❗️ Our lovely kennel assistant Lola is no stranger to helping all kinds of animals when in need, even when at home. Most recently she has been acting as "mum" to these three little starling babies 🥰 Unfortunately it seems as though they had fallen from a rooftop into somebodies garden; this garden was also home to seven cats so they had a very lucky escape to have been found when they were! 😲 They are now being very well looked after and are being waited on for multiple meals throughout the day. Here they are enjoying a feed today and as you can see, they are not afraid to voice what they think 📢📢 🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦🍃🐦
