Sweet little Tot was brought in by her owner, after she returned home with a sore tail. On examination, an infected puncture wound on each side of the tail was discovered. It was clipped, cleaned up and prescribed antibiotics and pain relief for the week.

She returned last week looking so much happier and her wounds are healing well 🥰

🚨Exciting news!✨🥳

Malcolm and Joyce are very happy to announce that Emily, our lovely vet and clinical director, has invested in the practice joining them as a full director. This partnership is extremely good news for the future of the business, enabling us to continue to provide our great service as a proudly independent practice. A lot of you will recognise Emily as she is known and loved by clients and patients alike and we’re sure you’ll all agree the practice is in excellent hands.

There will be some minor changes, as our name will become Galtres Veterinary Surgery Ltd and our bank accounts will be changing but we will let you know those details in time.

Please join us in extending your congratulations to Emily! 👏
