We have had another cat brought into us found near Newham. Her chip is registered and we have owner details but, again, these aren’t reachable

FOUND
We have had 2 cats (both around 16 years old) brought in to our Truro practice. Both are chipped and chips are registered to the same household but we are struggling to make contact with the owner due to incorrect telephone number and email
From info of the person who found the cats, it is believed they have been missing a while so we’re hoping we can reunite them back with their rightful home 🐱❤️
Edit: reunited with owner 😀
FOUND
We have had a stray male Cockapoo brought into our Newquay surgery found in Grampound Road!

❌️DANGERS OF SAND DUNES Crantock beach Update❌️
Good afternoon.
Concerns are still being raised by the emergency services who are warning the public that the shifting sand dunes continues to pose a danger to the general public on Crantock beach. These dunes are still at risk of collapse. In fact there's a danger anywhere that has sheer dunes overhanging, even if you are just going for a walk along a beach extra care is needed and you must not go near these, however fascinating they may look.
Over the years the sea changes the shape of our beaches, including our sand dunes, the seas have been creating steep sand cliffs which now hold a potential risk of collapsing, by suddenly giving way and acting simular to that of an avalanche.
The public are now being warned to stay away from these dunes as they are far too dangerous and could give way again at any time and burying anyone who's underneath them. For safety measures staying clear a distance of 164ft away from the base is advisable.
❌️PLEASE DO NOT LET CHILDREN PLAY NEARBY❌️
Stay safe,
Penny,
KWT
Yesterday we said goodbye to our Tregony surgery after 20 years ❤️
It was a sad day for us all but we are so thankful to our Tregony team, Luke, Di and Sue, who have worked tirelessly with our other vets and nurses to ensure our clients on the Roseland received a warm, welcoming service.
We are delighted to share that Luke, Di and Sue will be joining us at our Truro branch to continue delivering that lovely service we all know and love.
While it is the end of an era, we are looking forward to visiting those of you who will make use of our home consult service (please contact us for information) and we are very excited for what the future holds for Clifton Villa ❤️
A big thank you to all our loyal clients over the years too 🩺🐾
🩺 PLEASE READ! 🐾✅
Happy Bank Holiday!🍦
Apologies if you had issues contacting us this morning - we have been in touch with IT and have resolved the issue so our phone lines are working normally again now! Thank you for bearing with us 🐶
We hope all our clients enjoy the bank holiday and manage to enjoy some sunshine!
How handsome is lovely Freddie in his super cool cat carrier? 😎
He was even wearing his best bow tie to come and see us!
An update on Raven the chicken and friend Pep - they both had suprelorin implants while under sedation and have recovered very well since!
Our nurse, Chloe-Mai, says they’re both very people friendly and Pep is even a house chicken! 🐓
If you didn’t know… suprelorin is an injection that can be used for different animals. For these two, the injection is to stop them both laying eggs as they both had serious problems before 🥚
To give some background:
Pep was a rescue from a pet shop where was very badly bullied and, as a result, now much prefers human attention! She last laid abnormal eggs which leaves her at risk hence why she now has the injection! But she is so placid she doesn’t mind! 🥰
Raven is having the injection to allow her to recover from her previous lay!
They are some truly pampered ladies ❤️
We have sadly had a deceased female cat handed in to our Newquay branch 😔 She is chipped but unfortunately it isn’t registered. Found near Huers Hut.
Tabby, long-ish haired, very fluffy tail and ear tufts - if you think she could be yours, please contact our Newquay team on 01637851122 📞
Nurse Chloe-Mai is training up the new recruits for Vet Nurse Month 😂🐓
This is Raven, Chloe-Mai’s own chicken, joining her this week (and learning the ropes) as she has a prolapse so is in for monitoring while she recovers!
Keep an eye on our page over the next few days for updates on how she is doing! 🐔
🌟 Veterinary Receptionist Day 🌟
Today is a day where we celebrate the hard work our reception teams do, day in and day out.
The work they carry out is often underestimated and sometimes goes unseen but we see you ALL and we appreciate everything you do to help our practices run smoothly. We would be lost without them and, although we are grateful every day, today we are shouting it from the rooftops! 💛
Thank you Di, Sheila, Jane, Jane, Bobby, Jenny, Alison, Karen, Danielle, Leonie, Di A, Sue, Shelley, Zoe (and Olivia, who is writing this but today I am thanking you all 💛)
❗️Our emergency phone diverts are currently not working so if you need us, please call MiNightVet directly on 01637 520123❗️
Thank you very much 📞
Beautiful Bess came into our Newquay surgery this week for a chat with our nurses about joint care and anxiety around travelling in the car 🚗🧳
If your pet is on our Healthy Pet Club, their 6 monthly check is a great way to discuss with our team any queries you have!
We just love her sweet face 🐶

From receptionists manning our front desks and being the integral first port of call, to the vets and nurses tirelessly working day in and day out for pets big and small 🐶🐱🐾
We are grateful for each and every one of you and appreciate all you do today and everyday 👩🏼⚕️🩺

A massive well done to our Camborne ladies winning 3rd prize in the Trevithick Day shop window competition!
I think you’ll agree, a lot of hard work has gone into that window so we’re very proud of our colleagues ❤️🥉
Handsome boy Goldie has decided he’s going to sit on our reception desk all day to keep us company… not that we mind 🐱🐾
Our new reception desk is being fitted at Truro! 🤩
For the meantime, reception has moved to the adjacent nurse consult room and entrance lobby! We can’t wait to see our new smart desk later this week 🥰
Beautiful Fern was in to see Francesca for her lap spay last Friday 🐶💉 She has been back today for her post op check and you can tell by her big grin that she is very pleased it has all healed!
Well done for being a good girl on your recovery Fern! 🐾
What more could we want than an afternoon of puppies! These three gorgeous curly pups got all the fuss of our Camborne surgery team and it’s not hard to see why! 🐶🐾

Even though he's been registered now for over a year, please join us in congratulating him on this amazing achievement 🎉 Well done Luke! 🥳
📌 Laproscopic Spays Here is our Practice Directors dog Mabel looking bright and perky two hours after her recent laproscopic spay procedure. The laproscopic spay (or keyhole surgery) is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time when compared with the traditional midline spay in female dogs. For more details on this follow the link to our website - https://www.vetcollection.co.uk/our-services/keyhole-surgery/ For more information contact us at the Truro surgery on 01872 283694.
We’re encouraging the return of out of date and unused antibioticsThis month, we’re working with the vet sector and the NHS to encourage the return of outof-date and unused antibiotics to help tackle the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance. During our amnesty, we are asking our clients to return out-of-date and unused medicines to our practices for safe disposal
RVN Chloe has been a busy bee with our ever-popular nurse clinics! 🐾 Healthy Pet Club 6-monthly checks, weight clinics, confidence clinics, post-operative checks, puppy and kitten progress checks, second and third vaccinations… the list goes on!
Clifton Villa has joined the Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme, an initiative run by Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association (BVBA), to ensure the most comfortable veterinary care experience possible for dogs and their owners. Many dogs find vet visits stressful, which can result in them being unwilling to enter clinics, being difficult to examine, and worried during treatment. The Dog Friendly Clinic scheme helps practice staff develop dog behaviour knowledge and skills so they can recognise and address early signs of anxiety and improve the welfare of dogs whilst in the clinic. This means improved safety for staff and customers and helps the client-clinic bond. Through the scheme created by Dogs Trust and the BVBA, canine experts provide the tools for clinic staff to learn more about dog behaviour, including how pain and health conditions can be contributing factors to behaviour, and how to reduce the impact of visiting the vet for dogs.
🐰 ENRICHMENT 🐰 How many of you provide your bunnies with a variety of toys and chews? Do you offer them 'interactive' feeders? Where they have to work out how to reach their yummy prize? Check out this video of our Rabbit Awareness Week mascot, Bandit, playing around with his interactive feeders at home! He has kongs, puzzle feeders, stacking pots with treats hidden in between the layers... you name it, he will work it out! Share your photos and videos of your bunny enrichment hacks in the comments 😍
Are your pets microchip details up to date? 🐾 By law, all cats and dogs must be microchipped with your contact details so that in the event they go wandering and are brought in to us, we are able to reunite you as soon as possible! 🐶🐱 ‼️ This must be done directly via your microchip database company - updating your phone number, email address or home address at your veterinary practice does NOT update the details on your chip ‼️ ✅ If you are not sure what your pets microchip number is, or which database their microchip is registered to, feel free to book a free of charge microchip check appointment with one of our veterinary nurses 💚 Here is RVN Fran implanting a microchip into a patient after their cat spay! This procedure can be done whilst your pet is awake and is very similar to having a vaccination injection ✅ #microchip #whatvnsdo

Who else loves coming to see the nurses as much as Rogue?! 😍😍 #patterdaleterrier #whatvnsdo #cliftonvillavets #cliftonvillapets
Have you ever heard of #BanTheBowl ? If you have a pet who can be fussy at mealtimes but enjoys playing games, try asking them for different tricks or teach them new ones! Here are Isla and Night RVN Dean playing some games before bed one night last week 😍 Isla had to stay with us for a few nights and wasn’t too keen on her food… so Dean played some games with her and she then ate her full meal in no time at all! 😋 You can use their normal food and play a game until the ‘meal’ is finished, or try swapping out treats for raw carrot for those watching their waistlines! 🥕 #banthebowl #labrador #whatvnsdo #planetrvn
This cheeky chappy is Dave the Netherland Dwarf and you may recognise him from some of our previous posts🐰 Well, Dave has been in to see us to be castrated and we filmed some little snippets throughout his day with us. We will be sharing another ‘Behind the Scenes’ video at the end of this week! 😍🎥 #netherlanddwarf #rabbit #castrate #behindthescenes #cliftonvillavets #cliftonvillapets
Hermione the Tibetan Mastiff puppy practising RECALL with vet nurse Kate at Puppy Club 🐾 Each week we cover a different health topic and a different training topic, as well as learning a new command or trick! ✨ We love watching the relationships between puppy and owner go from strength to strength and we have also found these sessions massively help with puppy’s confidence levels when visiting the vets for other reasons! To join in the fun, please contact the surgery where we will be happy to book you in 🐾 #TibetanMastiff #PuppyClub
It’s Dogs Trust week and we would like to introduce you all to Sophie (who most of you probably know already) 😬 she has worked so hard to raise funds for the Dogs Trust! We are still selling raffle tickets so keep your eyes peeled to see some of the prizes tomorrow!
