It's turning into BBQ season! We hope you have a fun but safe time with family and friends!

🐈⬛ Midnight has been with us for 1 month and is now looking for her new home 🏡
Young, neutered and microchipped.
While she has been with us she has slowly been coming out of her shell more. She would appreciate a quiet home without any other animals or children. She will need time to get used to her new home and family but she is very sweet and just needs alittle patience.
If you think you have the perfect home to offer her please call us on 01293 223321 and speak to either Emma or Sarah

This is Custard and he was terrified of coming to the vets and meeting new people this time last year. In December, he started desensitisation sessions with our nurses and has come on leaps and bounds since then.
Custard now gives his mum a sing-song on his way to the vets because he is so excited to see his friends at Park Vets.
We are so proud of Custard's progress, and love seeing his happy face now when he visits

Here at Park Vets, we love to see all your weird and wonderful pets, including birds, reptiles and small mammals. Willow, a continental giant rabbit, came in to see us with very sore feet. After starting on daily injections and adjustments to her bedding and flooring, she is now doing much better! The first two photos show the sore on feet and the second two photos show healthy fur and no sores.
Pododermatitis is a common problem affecting bunny feet. When you come in for your health checks and routine vaccinations, we can check for this condition. When treated early, rabbits can often and do make a full recovery!🐰

Just a reminder for everyone out there who has a furry family member classed as an XL Bully.
The new deadline to neuter XL Bully dogs that were less than 7 months old on 31 January 2024 will be 30 June 2025.
Neutering for older dogs remains the same. For dogs that were 12 months or older on 31 January 2024, this has to be done by 30 June 2024, while dogs aged at least 7 months old, but less than 12 months old on the 31 January 2024 must be neutered by 31 December 2024.
Remember this means sending the veterinary confirmation of neutering form to DEFRA by dates listed above.
If you have any worries or concerns in regards to the neutering process then please call our team on 01923 223321 and leave a message for one of the nurses to call you back.
Our nurses are also on hand to help discuss different muzzles and ways to help your dog if they are having trouble wearing them. We can also give enrichment ideas to help use some of their energy now that they can't be off lead.
As always, we are here to support these dogs and their families.

Some of the species we see at Park Vets have some fantastic regenerative capabilities!
Slimey, a sunglow gecko, came in to see us with a very sore tail, which had lost blood flow to the tip and was shrivelling up and dying! Unfortunately, Slimey had to have a portion of it amputated by our amazing surgical team, but after a few months, the tail has now grown back beautifully with some extraordinary colours and Slimey has returned to normal life ❤️

☢️Warning - GRAPHIC CONTENT☢️
Lennie came in to see us as his owner noticed a lump had appeared on his elbow and grown to be quite large. The lump unfortunately had burst and created an open wound which was bothering him. Lennie was booked in for surgery the next day but due to the size of the lump, we were worried we wouldn't be able to close the skin once the lump had been taken away and the possibility of needing an amputation was considered.
Lauren decided that the best course of action for Lennie would be to try to remove the lump and perform an axillary pattern flap reconstructive surgery. This type of surgery involves borrowing some skin from a different part of the body where skin can be spared from.
The lump was completely removed and an area of skin was partially removed from further up his body above the armpit and rotated over the area that needed to be covered. Lennie and his owners went through a very strict recovery period to give this piece of skin the best chance of taking in its new location and we were delighted to see it was a huge success. Lennie is now back off lead and enjoying stretching his legs!
Analysis of the lump revealed a low grade type of soft tissue tumour that had been completely removed and should not reoccur. We are all very pleased with the outcome of Lennie's surgery!

🐈⬛ FREDDIE is looking for his forever home 🐈⬛ Freddie is a very affectionate castrated male. He loves any kind of attention and will spend hours enjoying a fuss. He came into us with a tail injury which meant he has had to have most of his tail amputated. However, he makes up for this with his big personality. He is ideally looking for a pet-free home. If you think you have the purr-fect home to offer him please call us on 01923 223321. 🔊 Volume up for the video!
Have you heard of feline idiopathic cystitis? Check out our reels, and get in touch with us if you spot any of these signs on your cat. 😺 If you ever notice that your cat cannot urinate or is straining to pee and nothing comes out, this is a medical emergency, and you should bring them in right away.
Are you considering welcoming a new pet into your life? 🤔 We couldn’t be happier for you! Pets are one of life’s greatest joys, so make sure you watch our video for helpful tips on how to give them a great start in life 🥰 We’d love to hear your tips as well – please tell us in the comments ⬇️
We are taking part in Antibiotic Amnesty Month this November. If you have any unused or out of date antibiotics that were dispensed for your pet and are no longer needed, please consider returning them to the surgery for safe disposal.
Cardiac disease in dogs is very common, especially in our golden oldies! ❤️ There are several causes for it, many of which get worse with age, the two most common being dilated cardiomyopathy and issues in the mitral valve. Keep an eye out for symptoms of heart disease, and if you feel your furry friend isn’t doing so well, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
🐈 Asher is still looking for his forever home 🏡 He is a very affection young neutered male. As you can see one of our nurses has taught him to 'Sit'and give 'Hi-5'. He is looking for a home without other cats and has to be an indoor cat as he has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) If you think you have the perfect home for him, please call us on 01923 223321 and speak to Emma, Lucy or Sarah
Dental disease can cause a lot of pain and discomfort to our pets, and it is estimated that more than 80% of cats and dogs over three years of age suffer from it. Fortunately, this can be prevented or treated! Cats often mask the signs of dental disease until they are in a lot of pain, so don’t miss these signs 👇
A good insurance plan for your pet is vital to make sure they are always protected in case of emergency situations but choosing the most adequate plan for you and your pet is not always easy! Check our video on how to choose the best policy for your pet 👇 Need help? We are here for you so don’t hesitate to contact us.
A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is inserted under your pet’s loose skin on the back of their neck to provide safe and permanent identification. If your pet is not microchipped, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
Diabetes mellitus is a hormonal disease that often affects our cats 🐈 All cats can suffer from diabetes; however, it is most commonly diagnosed in older and obese cats. It occurs because there's not enough insulin to keep the blood sugar concentration within normal values or because the cells become resistant to its effect. For most cats, insulin therapy along with dietary management is the treatment of choice. Though it's a chronic disease, with proper veterinary monitoring, diabetic cats can lead long and happy lives 🥰
Watching your pet have a seizure can be very frightening, and owners can be caught off guard when this happens. Fits can have different presentations ranging from localised tremors to pets losing consciousness, shaking uncontrollably, vocalising, and paddling. Afterwards, it is normal that they feel disoriented for a while. If your pet has a fit, please try to remain calm as this will be the only way you can help them.
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a frequently diagnosed problem in cats, with overweight animals and those who don't exercise often seeming to be more at risk. As there are many conditions that can cause FLUTD, please talk to our team if you notice your cat is having problems urinating. Some of these, like complete urethral obstructions, are medical emergencies and can be fatal if left untreated ⚠️
Do you have pet insurance? 🤔 We’re sure that you agree that the best and most advanced veterinary care comes with a price tag due to its often specialist nature 🩺 We encourage pet owners to consider taking out an insurance policy to ensure that finances don’t hinder the most appropriate treatment for a pet should they fall unwell or become injured. It’s important to get a good quality insurance policy, so here are some of our top tips to help you choose 👇
How often do you check your pets for ticks? 🤔
Have you recently welcomed a new puppy into the family? 🥰 Here is everything you need to know about puppy socialisation...👇
What is involved in microchipping your pet? 🤔 Have a look 👇 Microchipping is a simple, pain-free procedure. If your pet is not microchipped yet, talk to us!
We can’t recommend a good quality pet insurance policy highly enough. Veterinary science is advancing all the time and we can do so much for pets that we once didn’t have the equipment and knowledge to do. With these advancements naturally comes costs and owners can be surprised at the price of some veterinary treatments. Here are some things to bear in mind when choosing a policy for your pet.
