We’ve been missing some puppy spam photos for a while (been busy and all that), but we couldn’t resist getting a portrait of the lovely little Phoebe who was all up for charming staff with her sad eyes and snuggly / cuddly nature. 🥰

Looking forward to watching this one grow up!

**UPDATE**

We seem to have power and phones back now, but National Grid have advised power may be on/off for a little while longer whilst they more permanently fix the fault.

If you need us, just try as usual and we should be on the phone to help. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

PSA

We seem to have had a sudden power outage affecting numerous buildings in Oakengates.

Please bear with us as this also means we have no phones.

We will update ASAP with any news, as we hear from power company!!

If you need anything urgent, please message us on here as we still have at least some mobile signal.

⚠️Bird Flu Update⚠️

Restrictions have now been imposed on birds and keepers across Shropshire due to Avian Flu.

If you see a wild bird that looks unwell or is deceased, we strongly advise that you leave them where they are and contact DEFRA as bird Flu poses a risk to humans a as well as other animals

If you find or see a bird that is obviously injured or you've seen it be attacked by another animal then we will still see you, we just ask that you contact us first and remain outside with the bird upon arrival. We will then come out to you and decide on the best course of action. This is in order to keep ourselves and our patients as protected as possible.

If you are transporting an injured bird to us, please ensure you wash your hands and wear gloves where possible.

⚠️ New restrictions for all Shropshire bird keepers from 27 January⚠️

All bird keepers in Shropshire from Monday 27 January must keep their birds housed to protect them from bird flu.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency has said the whole of the Shropshire Council area will be subject to an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) with mandatory housing and biosecurity measures for any kept birds.

This applies to pet birds, commercial flocks and just a few birds in a backyard flock.

This follows the reporting of an outbreak of avian flu in a large commercial poultry flock near Wem earlier this week.

Everyone needs a cute little pick me up on a Monday morning. Is there much better than a cute fluffy baby?

Little Fudge here recently spent the day with us to be spayed and microchipped.
Isn't she just the sweetest baby 🥺

We're pleased to report that she recovered quickly from her spay and are looking forward to seeing her as she grows ❤️

Meet Bonnie 🐶

Bonnie went into see the team at Oakengates eating a sock.

Unfortunately the sock managed to unravel itself through her insides, causing her to be seriously ill and at risk of perforating her intestines.

Half of the sock had lodged in her stomach like an anchor, while the other half had passed down to her large intestine, while still attached by a narrow thread. Bonnie was unsuccessfully trying to squeeze the sock through her guts but it started to act like cheese-wire and cut through her intestines.

Luckily, brave Bonnie bounced back after surgery and had made a full recovery! Let's hope that's the last time Bonnie eyes up anyone's sock 🧦
