Baby Annie is growing fast ❤️

Annie is a German Shepherd puppy and she belongs to Liz, the Practice Manager 🐕

Here she is making herself at home on the practice sofa with Vet Cara’s Bertie.
In the first picture she is 10 weeks old and watch her grow by swiping to the 2nd picture….now 17 weeks old.

She now has her big girl ears, but how adorable was her floppy ear?! 🥰

Patient Of The Month 🐴

This is Early, a Thoroughbred, he was an absolute superstar on his recent visit with Vet Emily and Nurse Emma.

He stood like a gem and didn’t require any sedation for his X-rays and nerve blocks. Both Emily and Emma returned with heaps of praise for him!✨💎
And isn’t he so handsome too! 😍

He takes patient of the month for February (we’re a little late posting🫣), who will be our patient of the month for March?
Stay tuned to find out…

This is Bea, a Working Cocker Spaniel 😍
How many puppies can you count? 🧐

She came in for a pregnancy scan with vet Cara at the end of January and returned today for a check over and to show off her beautiful pups. Doesn’t she look proud? 🐶

Did you know?
Pregnancy scanning in dogs is usually performed at day 28 of pregnancy and the usual gestation in dogs is 9 weeks.
Although numbers can never be 100% accurate, getting a scan done by a veterinary professional helps rule out a single pup pregnancy and gives an idea of how many bundles of joy to expect 🥰

If you’re thinking about breeding and would like further information please give us a call on 01347 838888 📞

Patrick popped in to jump on the scales and his owner is thrilled that he is maintaining his weight after losing a whopping 7kg over the past 2 years 🐶💙

When Patrick first came to us he weighed 16kg and is now a healthy 9.3kg, achieved by a balanced diet and regular exercise. This works out at a 41.9% weight loss 😱

We have weight clinic spaces available to offer advice with one of our RVN’s 👩🏻‍⚕️

We had an exciting and rare visitor last week 🦉

This injured Long Eared Owl was brought into us by a member of the public. We suspected that the owl may have been in a RTA, as on examination the owl was found to have bodily injuries and a damaged air sac and unable to fly.

A week of rest and lots of mice has been the best medicine and the owl has now been released by Joyce near to where the owl was found.

LONG EARED OWL FUN FACTS
🦉Britain’s rarest owl
🦉Their hoot can be heard 1km away
🦉The thinnest owl species in the world
🦉They can live over 30 years

Handsome boy Sam 💙🐶

Sam came in for a routine castration operation last week, on admission his owner opted for additional pre-operative bloods and fluids.

Why we offer these?
Bloods are taken to assess organ function to ensure the patient is fit and healthy for surgery.
Fluids maintain blood pressure throughout surgery and help with hydration on recovery.

Sam returned earlier today for a post op check with RVN Megan. His wound is healing well and he will be back to off lead walks at the end of the week 🐾😃

❤️❤️❤️HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! ❤️❤️❤️

We treated our adorable office pooches with some healthy heart shaped apple goodies!🍎 They were a hit with Winston, Maggie and the two Berties! 🐶

Remember to keep those Valentines chocolates out of your pets reach! If you suspect your pet has got their paws on something they shouldn’t have, time is of the essence as we can give them an injection to make them vomit if it has been less than 4 hours post ingestion!

Give us a call if you have any concerns - 01347 838888 📞

Our vet Ellie loves a Chihuahua! 💛 So when Milo came in for his vaccination last week, she was delighted to have a cuddle and photo with him! 😍

Your annual booster vaccinations are important to protect your dog against harmful infectious diseases, which can be life threatening.
In addition, at your appointment our vet will perform a health check which can identify any underlying health issues that may cause them a problem in the future.

Check if your annual booster is due today 🩺

Our first gastroscope clinic was on Monday! 🎉

📷What happens at a gastroscope clinic 📷
We trot your horse up as ulcers are often secondary to other issues like lameness or a stressful event.
We then use the lowest level of sedation to allow for scoping to look for ulcers.
Images are saved and can be evaluated with the owner, if requested.

Our next gastroscope clinic is in a few weeks time on 4th March 2025

Book in today to secure your place at the discounted rate of £180 😃

Check out this cute little poppet, Bodie! 💙

He came in today for his 2nd vaccination with vet Chloe but nurse Emma couldn’t resist a cuddle 🥰

Now he’s up to date with all his vaccinations, he’s looking forward to being able to enjoy the great outdoors next week! 🐩🐾

Adorable Alert!!🚨

Donkeys Finnegan and Murdock are inseparable! 😍😍
Finnegan came in for a dental treatment earlier this week and he was joined by his buddy, Murdock.
At his routine dental examination, vet Ellie noted a diastema. A diastema is a gap between the teeth, these can vary in size. In poor Finnegan’s case it was the perfect size for food material to get trapped, which can decay and cause inflammation, pain and possible infection, also known as periodontal disease. 🦷
Due to his owners prompt response Finnegan has now had his diastema widened at the practice using our specialised dental equipment, including our dental camera!

Finnegan highlighted just how important it is to keep on top of your routine dental appointments, which can be between 3 and 12 months 📆

Day 3 of our 12 days ‘til Christmas Giveaway 🎄🎁 🫧Today’s Christmas giveaway is a bottle of Otodine ear cleaner! 🫧 Regular ear cleaning helps to reduce the risk of developing otitis (ear infections). This is especially helpful for dogs with floppy ears (such as spaniels) and dogs that like to swim where their ears get wet. Some dogs are prone to wax build up and require regular cleaning to keep this under control. 🤶To enter like, share and tag a friend in the comments! 🎅

🐴𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒🐴 Watch as our vet Emily and RVN Emma treat Roscoe for a hoof abscess. Roscoe presented acutely lame resulting in us taking an X-ray revealing a gas track in his sole, eliminating any other causes. The hoof was dug out to drain the abscess, a hot poultice applied, vet wrapped and secured with tape. Treatment is ongoing with the owner reapplying the poultice daily until abscess has fully drained. Generally hoof abscesses take a couple weeks to clear and Roscoe will be back to his happy jolly self! 😊 #equinevets #localvets #hoofabscess

TICKS TICKS TICKS BE GONE! 🪲 Here is a video of our vet Alice removing a tick. These little pests can be picked up by your pets in long grass and wooded areas and transfer easily from body to body. You can reduce the risk by keeping your pet up to date with parasite control. We also stock tick removers which helps ensure getting the head of the tick out of your pets body. 🐶🐱 #ticks #parasitecontrol #yorkvets #tickremoval #independentvets

It’s been a long road to extending the surgery, but we have finally finished! Thank you to all our clients, patients, and of course the Galtres team for putting up with the disruption, and cold. Hope you like it! #localvets #newbuilding #rennovation

And that’s a wrap! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏇🏊‍♀️Land’s End to John O’Groats (and back!). We have completed just short of 2000 miles between us, cycling, riding, walking and running! All in aid of raising over £2000 for our charities. Most importantly Liz was able to help us cross the finish line before continuing to fight this horrible disease. Thanks again for all your support and sponsorship over the last 2 months, we really do appreciate it. There is still time to sponsor us if you wish, link below. #shesgotthis #charity #magnoliacentreyork #breastcancercare https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/galtres-vets-1
