Paddy is one of our perfect patients who came into us in November with intermittent lameness on his back left leg 😢.
Our Head vet Javier 👨⚕️ was quick to diagnose Paddy with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease (CCLR) which we confirmed with X-rays. 🩻
Paddy underwent surgery a couple of days later with Javier to correct the issue and look at him now !
Paddy is back to his cheeky self 🤭 and has nothing stopping him from getting around anymore!
If you are concerned that your pet has similar symptoms to Paddy then please give us a call on 01925906442 ☎️ and book in with Javier for an assessment. 🩺 🐾
The very handsome 11-year old Harvey recently came in to have a couple of teeth removed. Here he is receiving some pre-procedure kisses, undergoing his treatment and enjoying a tasty nibble afterwards. 10/10 good boy! ❤️

This week is Guinea Pig Awareness Week!
Whether you're a guinea pig owner or just curious, these pets have some interesting quirks! Here are a few things to know about guinea pigs:
1️⃣ Vocal communicators: Guinea pigs are talkative! From “wheeking” when they’re excited to “purring” when they’re relaxed, they have a range of sounds that show their mood.
2️⃣ Highly social: In the wild, guinea pigs live in groups, so they’re happiest when they have another guinea pig to interact with. Keeping them in pairs is recommended for their wellbeing.
3️⃣ Vitamin C is key: Like humans, guinea pigs can’t produce their own Vitamin C, so it’s essential to include foods like bell peppers, leafy greens, and oranges in their diet to avoid deficiencies.
4️⃣ Long-term companions: With good care, guinea pigs can live from to 5-7 years. They're a longer-term commitment compared to other small pets, so be ready for that responsibility!
5️⃣ Teeth maintenance: Guinea pig teeth grow continuously, so they need plenty of hay and chewable items to keep them filed down and healthy.
Watch below to find out about the 5 welfare needs of guinea pigs, what's normal and abnormal for their teeth, their recommended diet and how to make DIY guinea pig enrichment treats!
