Here is an example of some of the things our nursing team do for your pets behind the scenes🐾 SVN Georgia demonstrating her skills as a lab technician whilst staining some slides for ear cytology 🔬 A patient came in with itchy ears! A swab sample was taken to test for parasites, yeasts of infections ! 🦠🧫 Our nursing team will stain up the slides using a 3 part system of chemicals which bind the sample cells to the slide and stain them so they are visible under the microscope! They then analyse the slide under high magnification to see the individual cells! Our nurses are able to identify abnormal or concerning aspects of cells and alert the vet who comes to check the slide and form a diagnosis for the patient 🐾 #vetnurseawarenessmonth #vetnurselife #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #VNAM2024

**Warning graphic content** Toby recently visited us for a dental. Dental disease in cats can cause serious pain and discomfort, which can impact a cat’s quality of life. In many cases, dental disease causes a cat to stop eating, which leads to a variety of health problems. It's never too early to start caring for your felines teeth. If your cat will allow it, brushing their teeth is by far the best way to keep their mouth healthy, because it removes plaque before it turns into tartar. It's easier if your cat gets used to having their teeth brushed as a kitten, but older cats can learn, too. Follow these simple steps: -Get some cat-safe toothpaste (not human toothpaste), and a cat toothbrush or microfiber finger cloth for tooth cleaning. -Give your cat a little of the toothpaste on your finger around the same time every day. This will get them used to the routine, taste, and smell. If they won't take it from your finger, offer it to them in their food bowl, or put a small spot of it on their front leg so they lick it off – then work up to feeding it on your finger. -Get them used to having their lips lifted, starting by gently touching the side of their mouth (avoiding their whiskers), and gradually build up to lifting their lips – give them lots of treats before and afterwards, so they think of it as a positive experience. -Once they are comfortable with having their lips lifted, start gently touching their teeth and gums, rewarding them with lots of treats. -When they are happy with that, you can start to introduce a little toothpaste on your finger. -Next, use the toothbrush, making small, circular motions on the outer surfaces of the teeth. Always brush gently and not directly on their gums. -If your cat shows signs of pain, or their gums look sore or bleed when you are brushing, stop the process speak to your vet for further advice. If you are worried or want to know more call us today and book a dental check with one of our wonderful nurses 📞 0190

Your dog’s annual injections include vaccination against parvo, so it’s vital to keep these up to protect your pet against this serious infection. Puppies can be vaccinated against canine parvovirus from around six weeks old. As well as protecting your dog or puppy against this nasty and potentially serious disease, regular vaccination is required by kennels and pet insurers as a condition of cover. Read our article to find out more . . . https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/common-questions-about-puppy-vaccinations

When walking your dog in the dark, make sure that both you and your dog are visible to others. For owners, this means avoiding dark clothing and wearing reflective safety gear such as a vest, strap or wristband. There are several options for keeping your dog visible in the dark, such as a reflective dog jacket, collar, lead, harness or even an LED light-up safety necklace. Dogs with darker fur are more difficult to see in the dark. However, even if you have a lighter coloured dog, you should make sure your dog can be seen in the dark.
