Cutest patient of the day - Teddy - 🐕❤️
We have had a mass power cut so we have no working phones or computers! Please bear with us, we should be back up and running within a few hours we’ve been told.
Thanks for your patience!
Unfortunately our Out of Hours Minight Vets branch has a problem with their IT systems which is affecting their phones lines and emails. If you have an emergency Over the bank holiday weekend please call 07385397272
Little Tiffany was struggling to give birth naturally so Vet Rosanna intervened by way of caesarean. Thankfully 4 pups survived and are thriving at home as is mum!
Our staff loved the excitement of having newborn pups to moon over 🥰
One of our clients found what is presumed to be an escaped indoor cat last night in Westbourne. He is male, neutered but his microchip unfortunately isn’t registered so we are unable to find out who the owners are. Please contact us on 01202 532817 if you recognise him/know the owner.
Poor Cleo was experiencing sneezing fits and bloody nasal discharge. She was sedated and had her nose and throat investigated. Rosanna found a big grass blade caught down the length of her soft palate and nasal cavity! Cleo will be much more comfortable now it’s been removed 😺
*FOSTER HOME FOUND*
This elderly gentleman has been surrendered over to our care and is now looking for a loving home. According to his microchip details he is 17.5 years old. He is a chatty boy and enjoys a fuss. He’s had his vet health check and although whilst he has fleas (which he has since been treated for) his heart sounds healthy and he seems in good shape. He has also had a basic blood test (liver and kidneys) and all of his results are within normal limits which is rather unusual for a cat his age. His teeth aren’t in the best condition so he may be needing a dental clean soon.
Please call us on 01202 532817 for more information on Oscar
Female bunny rabbit, 2-3 months old found in West Cliff and brought into us as a stray. Please call us on 01202 532817 if you think this could be your rabbit.
🦎 Reptiles suffer from dental problems too!
All sorts of reptile species can suffer from dental/mouth infections, often known as ‘mouth rot’. Bearded dragons are particularly suspectible to dental problems, which can progress into severe calculus build up, gingivitis (inflammation of the gum line), gingival recession and even deep bone infection - particularly in older animals. Studies of beaded dragons have shown that dental disease was present in 50% of the studied animals (Mott et al, 2021).
Brucie came in to us with periodontal disease and an infection of his tail. He had surgery to amputate the end of his tail and descaling of his teeth. He has been recovering very well!
If you would like to book a health check with our vet Emily, she is happy to see all your furry, feathered and scaled pets!
Happy Easter everyone!
We hope you manage some down-time, together-time, and outside-time over the holidays.
*Reminder to check your cats nails!*
Elderly cats are particularly at risk due to their limited exercise and wearing down of nails, so it’s always a good idea to check your cats nails every few weeks to ensure they aren’t growing too long and curling round into the skin!
2 months old Honey wishing you a Happy Friday 🐾🐾
Sweet little Juno came in for a visit! She is a 3 month old Ball Python 🐍

🎉💥New Year’s Eve Fireworks!💥🎉
Most of our fur babies fear the sound of fireworks so please follow these simple steps to ensure they feel as safe and calm as possible.
✅ If possible, keep them inside the house. This prevents your pet escaping!!
✅ Shut windows and close blinds/curtains
✅ Have music playing or the TV on for background noise
✅ A safe space such as a crate with comfortable bedding and their favourite toy (as a place for them to escape to)
✅ Remain calm yourself and provide comfort and reassurance to them
We hope this helps!🐾
We wish everyone a Happy New Year and a safe start to 2023🎉🥰
We are open today until 12.30pm if you need us ,otherwise we will see you all on Tuesday 3rd January 2023.

Aside from presents, if there’s one thing we all associate with Christmas, it’s food. We humans love to tuck into a festive treat while we play board games with the family or enjoy a cosy night in front of the TV, and there’s no reason why your cat should miss out on enjoying some goodies, either.These homemade cat treats are perfect for sharing with your feline friend as you enjoy your Christmas dinner, or popping into their stocking for a festive present.
Tommy loves Christmas dinner muffins🐱

Let's chat about teeth and dental health 🦷
🗣 Allow me to de-bunk the wives tales:
👎 Dogs (and cats) have stinky breath, it's a part of getting old. NOPE! Imagine not going to the dentist for 10yrs?
👎 Old dogs (and cats) lose teeth as they get older. Umm, have your teeth fallen out recently without seeing a dentist?
👎 Older pets are picky with food, they don't want to eat biscuits. Yep! Ever chewed a cheap steak with a toothache?
🦷 - Dental pain is a real thing for your pets.
It can create behavioral changes, especially in cats and small dogs.
We see little ones getting aggressive, or picky around food and refuse to have a cuddle or a pat around their face.
Some of the teeny ones might bite you when your going in for a face smoosh.
Medium and larger breed dogs get picky with food, change their eating habits and can refuse (hard) food altogether.
What NOT to do:
❌ Offer softer foods, and change food routines..
❌ Hand feed.
❌ Create a terrible food time regime to try and convince the little fluffy-bums to eat.
Simple solution?
💁♀️Our wonderful nurses provide a service for grading the Dental disease for FREE! Yay!
We had to share this beyond ADORABLE photo of Gracie and Angel 😻
They had their spay (neutering op) and were full of beans and loving some extra love from our team .Unique sister love 😍🥰🐈🐈😻
😍 HAPPY FRIDAY 🤩
We hope you will enjoy special time with your furries over this School Half Term Week 🐰 🐶 🐱 🐹 🦄
Regular dental descales are a great way of minimising periodontal disease 🦷
Finger brushing, tooth brushing and dental diets all help to prevent the build up of calcified plaque (tartar) but if you think your pet needs a dental check up, please call us on 01202 532817 and we can book you in with our vet or nurse who will then decide if a descale procedure is needed.
For patients on our Premium pet health plan, there is 15% off our descale packages!

It’s grass seed season! 🌾 Please make sure to check your dogs paws after walking, as it’s very easy for foxtail grass seeds to become embedded and continue tracking through the tissue. Paws and ears are the most typical places for grass seeds to be found, especially on fluffy and long haired dogs like Spaniels and Cockerpoos. Grass seeds can cause painful swelling and infection if not dealt with quickly. Fortunately this grass seed was easily located by Adrian but sometimes they can be surprisingly difficult to find and remove! The patient is recovering well and the swelling soon subsided 🐶
👓 M O N D A Y 👓 This was way tooo cute not to share! 💗 Hope this helps to cheer up everyones Monday. #stokewoodvets #vet #bournemouth

🙈 P A R A S I T E S 🙈 Does your pet have waxy gunky and irritated ears? Have they been shaking their head? These pesky ear mites might be to blame! 😳 The ear mite, Otodectes cynotis, is a surface mite that is usually found in the ear canal but it can also live on the skin surface. They are highly contagious and can be passed by direct contact from pet to pet. Yuck! Mites are barely visible to the naked eye, so they are not easy to spot! 🧐 At Stokewood Vets we use Nexgard Combo & Spectra which when used monthly can prevent your pet getting fleas, ticks, worms & ear mites! This treatment is also available free of charge if you are a member of our VIP club 🙌 Not sure if your pet is up to date? Give us a call on 01202532817 and we can check for you! #stokewoodvets #veterinary
N U R S I N G S K I L L S Here is a time lapse of our Head Nurse Megan practising her suturing skills. This suturing pattern is called a Cross Mattress pattern, otherwise known as cruciate sutures. 🪡 Did you know that Registered Nurses are allowed to perform minor surgical procedures? This is allowed under the Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act. This includes small lump removals, stitch ups and biopsies to name a few. How amazing is that! 🥳 Our nurses are highly skilled and are constantly learning and improving to offer patients the best care possible. 💛 #stokewoodvets #veterinary #veterinarynursing #rvn #bournemouth

😯 !!BEHIND THE SCENES!! 🌟 Its always an interesting day at Stokewood Vets! One of our tortoise patients was struggling to eat because of an overgrown beak so it was time for a trim! A tortoises beak is made of keratin, just like our nails so trimming is a pain free procedure. 🐢 To do this we used a sonic drill so that we could precisely trim the beak without causing our tortoise friend any unnecessary stress or discomfort. The water helped to keep the drill lubricated and from becoming hot. What an interesting day! #stokewoodvets
