Pet of the Week: Nelly 💖

This gorgeous girl, Nelly, was recently in with us for surgery after being diagnosed with pyometra - a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus.

Thanks for quick action from her owners and our team, Nelly underwent surgery and is now recovering with plenty of love (and treats!) at home.🐶

Pyometra is a reminder of how important it is to monitor any sudden changes in your pet's behaviour, especially in unspayed females. If you ever notice signs like lethargy, vomiting, increased thirst, or vaginal discharge, don't wait - give us a call right away.

Found a stray cat? Here's what to expect 🐈

If you've come across a stray cat and bring them to us, we're here to help - but there are a few important things to keep in mind.

✅We will:
• Check for a microchip to try to reunite them with their owner
• Assess them for any visible injuries
• Administer first aid if needed

However, if the cat is healthy and uninjured, they may be considered your responsibility moving forward. Veterinary practices are not legally equipped to take in or rehome healthy stray animals.

If you are unsure what to do next, we can offer advice on steps you can take, including contacting local rescue organisations🐾

Thank you for caring - together we can make a difference for animals in our community!😺

📢 Did you know that a flea can live from between 14 days to one year and a female can lay up to 50 eggs in one day – that’s 1500 in a lifetime!

We believe preventative treatment is the best course of action for fleas, ticks and worms, that’s why we include year-round treatment for cats and dogs in our Pet Health for Life plan.

Signs that your pet might have fleas:

🐶🐱 excessive scratching
🐶🐱 small red bumps or bite marks
🐶🐱 hair loss or dry skin from scratching
🐶🐱 tiny black specks in fur, bedding or furniture.

Our Story

The My Pets Vets Story: We decided to open our own practice in order to provide the high standards and quality of care we feel every animal and their owner deserves. The welfare of our patients is always of highest priority, and we make every effort to ensure that the animals entrusted to our care are treated as we would treat our own pets. To enable us to do this we transformed an old pub into into a modern, flexible veterinary practice, and opened our doors on 19th September 2011. We offer 24 hour emergency care, and are the only vets in the Leigh area to do so. We always have staff on standby, even if it’s out of hours. We know emergencies don’t wait for a convenient time, and want our clients to know they can rely on us whatever the time of day. We knew having a new modern practice was only the first step, and set out to build the best nursing and support team possible. We now have a team who show the most friendly and compassionate service possible, while delivering the highest standards of medical care. We feel preventative healthcare is very important, not only for your pets'; but also for your family and your home. We endeavour to advise you of the best practices available to keep your pets' healthy and happy, and offer free clinics for a wide range of issues.
