This handsome chap is Monty, he is a very energetic working cocker spaniel. He came in for a health check and vaccinations. He was a huge hit with all the team who took it in turns for lots of snuggles
This lovely lady is Bluebell. she came in for a heart scan (echocardiogram), to assess whether there was any enlargement of the heart chambers caused by a leaky valve. Leaky valves can be detected because they make the normally smooth flow of blood through the heart more turbulent and this causes an abnormal sound called a murmur. This can be picked up on a routine clinical examination and by scanning the heart we can detect chamber enlargement before it starts causing clinical signs.
It has been shown that in cases where there is a murmur and heart chamber enlargement, starting medication can not only prolong life span but also delay the onset of clinical problems for the animal. In this case there was no enlargement and so we recommended a repeat scan in 6 months.
Lovely Wilf came in last week for his 2nd vaccine . He was a very good boy ❤️

Lovely Socks was brought into our Tunstall practice out of hours after being attacked by a much bigger dog.
Veterinary surgeon Pete and nurse Shannon sedated Socks as she was so sore from several bite wounds. She had extensive bruising and 2 puncture wounds on her back that had a very large pocket where the skin had been lifted from the surrounding tissue.
She also had a large puncture wound in her hamstring muscles on her thigh.
Thankfully no major organs were injured, this was confirmed on x-ray and ultrasound.
Sky's wounds were flushed and cleaned and Socks was given antibiotics and lots of pain relief to go home with.
10 days later she looks brilliant! All her wounds have healed and she only has a small bit of bruising remaining. Socks is back to her normal self. Well done Socks! ❤️
Our own vets are available 24/7 for our all our registered clients. If you ever have an emergency, do not hesitate to call the practice.
This is rescue dog Mojo. He has been struggling with his ear for some time and medication just wouldn't help his head shaking.
One of our fantastic vets, Victoria decided to put him under an anaesthetic for a better look with our rigid scope - a long camera that can be inserted into the ear canal. She spotted something embedded in Mojo's ear canal wall and was able to successfully remove a very large grass awn!

If your coming to our Endon surgery today please give yourselves extra time due to Leek Show traffic, there is already some building up. Thank you 🐶🐱
This hansome chap is Kai.
He had a rough start and was rescued from a drugs den. He then went into police dog training because he looks quite tough. Unfortunately he wouldn’t hold people down for long enough! He was then finally rehomed to a lovely family who dote on him. He is obviously a lover not a fighter! ❤️
Tammy the tortoise came in to us a few weeks ago after becoming anorexic and lethargic. An x-ray revealed she had lots of retained eggs making her feel very under the weather. After receiving some treatment she passed them. She came back in for a check up where she met Piper the border terrier who was very curious to what was in the box! Tammy is now back to her normal active self and feeling much better.❤

The handsome 8 month old Maine Coon, Ninja was described by his owner as a shy timid cat. Look how relaxed and at ease he is in our tranquil cat ward. We were able to take bloods and prepare him for his procedures in a relaxed environment with minimal restraint making it a stress free experience. ❤️
Christmas greetings from the members of Willow Veterinary Clinic’s choir.
Meet Zion 🐾👋 Follow our patient Zion from admit to discharge. This big friendly giant is a 40kg malamute cross who visited us earlier this week to undergo a castration procedure. First of all one of our nurses completed a consent form with his family, he then proceeded to have his pre operative checks including blood tests. All of his checks were normal so our nursing team prepared his medication, placed his iv catheter and transferred him to theatre. He was carefully monitored throughout his general anaesthetic and surgery with all his vitals taken regularly. His monitoring continued with a nurse as he was waking up. Once he was awake enough, he was guided back to his kennel where he continued to receive routine checks. Later that afternoon he enjoyed a little wander outside and a tasty dinner. We wish you a speedy recovery Zion 💙
Keyhole spay Here is a video of one of our lovely patients who recently joined the keyhole club. Keyhole surgery is less invasive, post-operative recovery is more rapid and discomfort is less. Here is the evidence as she leaps into the car without any sign that she has just undergone abdominal surgery! If you are considering spaying your dog and would like to discuss keyhole surgery please call any of our practices during normal working hours and one of our staff would be happy to talk to you.
This handsome fellow is Zeus. He recently spent two weeks in our care after an extremely severe stomach bleed. We don’t know why he developed a severe stomach ulcer, but due to the amount of blood loss Zeus collapsed and had to receive two blood transfusions in 48 hours. He was critically ill for several days, but with the diligent care of our team Zeus started to improve and has gradually returned to good health. He was super excited to get home and although we were very sorry to see him go we are all delighted he has made such a fantastic recovery.
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems found in Guinea pigs. It can be caused by a lack of fibre in their diet which is found in hay that helps to wear down their teeth. Without fibre, your Guinea pigs’ teeth can become overgrown which means it can become difficult for them to eat. To help to prevent this from happening, you should feed 85-90% of feeding hay alongside a small portion of nuggets to prevent any selective feeding. Another cause is a lack of vitamin C, which can be found in leafy green veggies as well as Guinea pig food. Here is Hob Knob enjoying his greens post dental procedure🐹🦷
When leaving your feline friend with us for procedures that require them to stay for the day or overnight, do you worry about their accommodation and how they will settle? We have a purpose built sole use cat ward that’s been specifically designed to help your cat to feel as secure and relaxed as possible. Here they have a climate controlled room with air conditioning, featuring state of the art feline friendly cages with Perspex doors and cat holes to expand the area to double the size. They also have hides where they can sit on top or hide underneath. Feliway diffusers are used to help them to relax along with cat friendly music that they all seem to love (vets and nurses included)!
Have you ever watched closely to see how a dog actually drinks? Well, here is a slow motion video of Spot, showing that dogs actually curl their tongues backwards to create a scoop for the water! Always make sure your pets have access to clean drinking water, especially in hot weather. Natalie
