HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY!🥰

Today we are really excited to be celebrating National Dog day.
National Dog Day celebrates all dogs, from mixed breed to pure. To recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year. Also family dogs and dogs that work each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort for the disabled and now they're detecting cancer and seizures...things even humans cannot do.
Dog's are truly amazing and we love them all! 🐕

We would love to see pics and to hear what you will be doing today to celebrate your precious pooches.

Here are some pictures of our staff's beloved dogs. ❤️

Pet Friendly Gardens 🐕🐈🌳🌿
Finally with the sunny weather and the longer days...it's the perfect time to spruce up your garden. But have you thought about how to make it safe and fun for your pets⁉️

Avoiding poisonous plants
daffodils, crocuses, tulips, azaleas, laburnum, lilies, lily of the valley.

Natural pest control
Crushed egg shells help keep slugs and snails away from your plants.
Hollowed-out grapefruit skins can be used to trap bugs.

Pet-friendly paths
Paved paths are best for pets. stones and gravel can hurt their feet or get stuck between their paws. Some dogs might pick up stones and accidentally swallow them.

Make sure you have a strong secure fence. Shady spots for summer days, or a fun dedicated digging spot!

Tweed is notorious amongst the team for eating things she absolutely should not.
This time, her owner wrote a poem about her latest gallivant.

"There once was a cat called Tweed,
who's hunger for food, turned to greed.
She vomited loads,
But without a mumble or groan.
Her X-rays, we saw,
To referral she went for scans, endoscope and more.
All for a straw."

Plot twist, her owner is our very own head nurse.

It happens to us too! 😂

To round up here are 2 rescue rabbits fromOne Bun At A Time - Registered Charity No: 1191439 🐰🐰🐰
Someone who works very closely with the charity, has written a little something on rabbits which we thought we would share:
"Did you know rabbits are classified as exotics? This means they require specialised care. Unfortunately, buying a bunny from a pet shop is so easy that consequently after a while, behaviour and health problems can manifest.
Bunnies are a prey species and generally do not like to be picked up and cuddled, this can be one of the main causes for rabbits to be surrendered into a rescue centre. There are over 67,000 rabbits in rescue centres across the UK and a vast proportion of these have been impulse purchases.
If you have done your research and wold still like a bunny then a reputable rescue centre is the best option as the bunny will have been health checked, vaccinated, neutered and temperament assessed."

This week is all about Rabbit Awareness! 🐰
Rabbits are sensitive souls and often bought as a first pet for children but rabbits are a lot more complex than people can assume.
They need lots of space, company, stimulation and access to constant grazing.
Bonding rabbits can be a long and intricate process so we advise professional advice is sought for this.
With all this in mind, they can be wonderful companions once the time has been taken to fully understand them.

What a pleasure she was!

I'm sure, by now, quite a few of us have been out freshening up the garden, ready for summer, however, a surprising amount of plants are toxic to dogs and cats 🌻☀️.
Be in the know about what you're planting!🌷
For more information about plants that may be toxic to your pets, please see the links below:

Let's talk about obesity in our pets...
It is estimated that nearly half of dogs in the UK are overweight and over a third of cats in the UK are overweight. Being overweight is linked to several health problems and a reduced lifespan.
It’s important to know what your pets' ideal shape is and recognise when it changes.
If you suspect your dog or cat may be overweight and need help tackling this, we run free weight clinics with our nurse, Amber to help you address it.
Contact the practice and we can book this for you📞

A final reminder from some of our teams' cats that it will be compulsory from the 10th June 2024 to make sure your feline family members are microchipped!🐈‍⬛

Under the new plans, all keepers must ensure their pet is microchipped before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database. Owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500*.

*https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cat-microchipping-to-be-made-mandatory

You can pop them into Practice and we can scan them if you're unsure if they're already chipped. We can also help you update your details to ensure if they were to go astray you would all be reunited 😻

20/05/2024

UPDATE: They are back working as usual 📞

‼️We are having issues with our phone lines and unable to answer any calls at present. Please email or Petsapp the practice and someone will respond to you ASAP.
If it is an emergency, please state that in your email or Petsapp and someone will call you back from another line‼️

13/05/2024

What other way to start our week than celebrating our hard working nursing team?!
May is veterinary nurse awareness month and these ladies do SO much behind the scenes.
From admitting, changing bandages and giving love to the patients to monitoring anaesthetics, running lab samples, triaging emergencies and doing scale and polishes and that's only scratching the surface!
We love our nurses and thank them for their constant hard work and devotion 💚

Sylvie and Ada came in to get their second vaccines and made our Monday so much better 😍

You may have heard about some new rules from our veterinary governing body, the RCVS, regarding how we prescribe parasite control, antibiotics and controlled drugs for your pets.

Before administering any parasite treatment such as flea, tick or worming treatments to your pet, it's necessary for us to conduct an in-person examination. During this visit, we'll be able to provide parasite treatments for up to 12 months, as needed.

We will also need to examine your pet before providing any antibiotic treatment, whether it's in the form of a cream or drops for the ears, eyes, or skin, or as tablets. This applies every time, even if your pet has received the treatment multiple times before and for the same condition.

For controlled drugs your pet will require an examination before we can dispense any more treatment. We will create a tailored prescription plan that will last between 3-6 months depending on each individual pet that will allow us to provide the medication.

These regulations may require you to bring your pet in to see the vet more frequently and we understand that this might mean additional costs for you, both in terms of time and money.

We really would appreciate your understanding as we all adapt to these changes and note that every veterinary practice will be following the same guidelines.

To find out more on this please follow the link: https://www.rcvs.org.uk/setting-standards/advice-and-guidance/under-care-new-guidance/

Exciting announcement! 💫
After 3 years of patience, on Tuesday, our previous ANA, Alex, did her first day at college to start training to become a veterinary nurse.
Wishing her the best of luck 👏

04/04/2024

Maggie came into us as an emergency as her owner had concerns she had broken a rib due to a lump suddenly appearing that morning.
She came into us and we had suspicions of a foreign object but due to the location it was too much of a high risk to get to without certainty.
Her x-ray was inconclusive so we trialed treatment in the view of a possible abscess however it became very clear it was a foreign object so we took her straight into surgery to remove it.
A whole skewer! 🤯
We're all still wondering how she got it down her whole and with no other complications but we're pleased to say that this little lady is recovering nicely and back to her usual whirlwind self 🥰

Have a lovely long weekend everyone 🌷

Jax wasn't really thinking straight when he decided to swallow a needle and thread last week.

There's lots of things that pets eat or swallow that we agree is quite appealing but he's on his own with this one 😂

Luckily we moved quickly and the needle was recovered within the hour with no permanent damage done to him.

Hopefully he doesn't do this again!🤞🏼

20/03/2024

Spring is finally here! 🌷(Someone tell the weather😅)

That means we need a new cover photo to match the season. Comment your spring photos and let's hope it brings the matching weather 🤞🏼

We are still on the lookout for an RVN to join our team🐾 If you know someone who may be interested, send them our way! Equally if you want to know more, please see the full JD here: https://www.windleshamvet.com/our-practice/vacancies/

Our Christmas donation box is back! 🎅 Fig put her first donation of a tennis ball in there (which she did take back despite us explaining that isn't how this works 🫣). Any donations welcome and will split out between the many charities we work with 🎁🎀

We are still looking for that valued RVN to join us! 👀 Applications can be sent to [email protected] - we look forward to meeting you 🥰

Want to join a fun and friendly team? 💃🏼 We are looking for a Registered Veterinary Nurse due to our lovely Hilly moving onto a new opportunity that aligns perfectly with her career goals. We are super pleased for her. This position is full time (37.5 hours over a 4-day week on a rotating rota with 4 day weekends) and is perfect for someone with all-round nursing experience, ideally with 2 years minimum experience, and able to start as soon as possible. If you would like to know more about the role, please find the vacancy and more information at our website https://www.windleshamvet.com/our-practice/vacancies/ We look forward to meeting you!

Jade is one of our nurses who runs confidence clinics to help your pet feel more comfortable when coming into the practice. She has been working very hard with her rescue dog, Frankie on creating a fear free experience when being asked to do things in the practice. Frankie is now fully happy to be completely unrestrained for his nails to be clipped. It does take time and patience to achieve this but if this is something you would want to try aim towards with your pet, please do contact us to arrange a confidence clinic to be assessed and make a plan 🥰

Julius and his brother Robin came in for castrations a few weeks ago and they were VERY cheeky patients...keeping all the nurses on their toes 😈

Happy Monday! Here is Churro enjoying one of the nurses' bananas as a little treat after he'd recovered from a lump removal 🍌

Join us on a scale and polish! 🦷✨ As part of Pet Dental Health month, we thought we'd share what a simple scale and polish looks like... Some paraprofessionals are beginning to offer conscious scale and polishes. Although these might seem useful for small amounts of plaque, it can actually be quite an uncomfortable and stressful experience for your pet...imagine someone digging around your gums without any pain relief! 🥵 An anaesthetic may seem scary but our team are all incredibly well trained to make sure they're as safe as possible and if you keep up good dental care for your pet, a clean only takes 25-30 minutes! Come and have a chat with one of our team if you want to know more about our dental procedure 🐾

We asked one of our vets, Aimee, what veterinary nurses mean to her...we agree 💯 #VeterinaryNurseAwarenessMonth

May is Veterinary Nurse awareness month, so throughout the month we'll be speaking to some of our team members to find out more about them and their roles within the practice and industry 👀 This is Amber, one of our senior nurses telling us a little bit about herself, as a Veterinary Nurse 🥰
