Today is black cat appreciation day 🐱♥️

Black cats are often overlooked in shelters as they can be seen as unlucky, and are harder to photograph! However they are often very affectionate and make great pets.

Here are some facts about black cats https://www.feliway.co.uk/blogs/news/10-fascinating-facts-about-black-cats?srsltid=AfmBOoqykS42KuUXEXMaVU8A9a7RRWaz1bg0f_g_VfKJJCWQW2AnAa6Z

Pictured is Parsnip, who belongs to one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses. Parsnip recently donated blood to a kitten under our care and was rewarded with a tin of tuna for dinner ♥️🐱

We would love for you to post photos of your black cats in the comments below ⬇️

Or if you don't yet have a black cat why not see if any of your local shelters have any in need of a loving home?

Brother and sister Jasper and Jemima visited today for their dental procedures.

Jemima needed one tooth extracted whereas Jasper just needed a scale and polish.

They recovered from their general anaesthetics well and posed for some photos for us before going home ♥️🐱

Ziggy came to see us today for a dental. He had 12 teeth removed under general anaesthetic.

As you can see from the photo below these teeth were heavily covered in calculus and hair, he will feel much better now without them!

Here he is recovering with lots of love from the nurses.

Rosa came in yesterday for her laproscopic spay.

She went home the same day after receiving lots of cuddles from the nurses during her recovery - although she wasn't too impressed with her buster collar!

We will be seeing her tomorrow for her post operative check up! 🐶♥️

It was stoatly unbelievable who we had visit yesterday!

Did you know that at Melton all our consultations are 20 minutes long so it gives our vets and nurses the time to carry out diagnostic tests and give you the best service ❤️

Another very busy week here at Melton and we have had a few new types of visitors! The video is of a baby Polecat which is a wild cousin to the ferret and was brought in by a client found abandoned! He has since been transported to the RSPCA centre in West Winch for rehabilitation! https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/mammals/polecat

Thank goodness its Friday!

Are you as happy as our veterinary nurse Megan Cooper that it’s Friday!! Have a lovely weekend with your pets and remember we are here 24/7 for you! 😊
