This is the gorgeous Molly.
She came in recently for x-rays and a scale and a polish so all her teeth are freshly cleaned.
She is loving her little blanket and the fuss from all the staff.

We are becoming aware of an increase in cats falling ill with a rare condition called pancytopenia. The issue has been identified by The Royal Veterinary College London and they are currently leading investigations in to the rise in cases.

A product recall has been issued as a precautionary measure by the manufacturer of some dry cat food ranges, whilst further investigations are carried out. Full details of the recalled diets can be found here: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-36-2021

If you feed one of these diets we would advise you to stop feeding it immediately, and to contact the shop that you purchased it from.

Pancytopenia is a reduction in the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Clinical signs include lethargy, a high temperature, pale gums, blood in the urine or faeces (faeces will usually be dark or black). Small areas of bruising to the skin or gums may also be seen. If you notice any of these signs please contact your vet immediately.

If you think your cat may have been affected please ask you vet to complete this questionnaire: https://rvc.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/pancytopenia

This sweet puppy visited Companion Care Vets, Gloucesterfor her first vaccinations, along with puppy cuddles! 🐶🤗

Our nurses provide excellent patient care in order to care for your pets to the best standard possible!! Nurses have to study one of two routes to allow them to become a veterinary nurse, that’s either a diploma route (working and studying in one) or a degree which can take 3-4 years to complete!🩺🐶

Enjoy this picture of one of our student nurses Grace, and a little pup that came in for her first vaccinations (and lots of cuddles too!!!!)💓

We hope you are all staying safe throughout this lockdown. We are grateful for all the patience our clients have shown to us!🥰
