💜💜 beautiful bearded dragon, Zog, had an appointment this morning. After a thorough health check and husbandry review she produced the most impressive sized faecal sample for me to examine under the microscope! She took her first dose of medication like a dream and sat very politely on my lap while I trimmed her nails 💅
It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and her lovely humans today 🤗

THE TINY VET IS DOING AN OPEN DAY 📢📢📢
My friends at Nurture Vet Hospital have invited me to have a stand at their open day on Saturday 20th September 🗓️ So of course I said yes!
This is a wonderful opportunity to familiarise yourselves with the hospital 🏥 which serves as my emergency 🚨 back-up in situations when I am unable to attend your sick pet.
Please swing by and say hello if you can; I'll be in Theatre 2 giving out poo pots ready for your tortoises' prehibernation faecal tests 🐢, and pens and fridge magnets for everyone else 😂
Can't wait to see you there 🤗💜

Poorly Toothless 🤒 was not impressed with me yesterday! After being examined and having a blood sample 🩸 taken, he let me know his feelings by turning his beard completely black. In this photo, the normal colour is just starting to return 🤗

Late night lab work at Tiny Vet HQ 🌙💉🩸🧪🔬

I'm away for a few days from tomorrow, so this evening I squeezed in an urgent visit to poorly tortie "Cracker", an elderly spur thigh who I didn't want to keep waiting.

During his appointment I took a blood sample which is currently running through my in-house blood machine to give us some more information about Cracker's illness. In the meantime he's on some medication and we're waiting for him to poo so we can do a faecal test as well! Next week he'll also have some x-rays taken.

I'll still be at the end of the phone ☎️ for urgent advice, but if any of my lovely patients need an emergency vet visit I'll be referring you to my friends at Nurture Vet Hospital in Wells who will look after you 🤗
