⭐️ Wellness testing for pets ⭐️
We all want to make sure our pets are healthy, and that is why we have introduced wellness screening in our clinic.
We often run blood tests on our sick patients, but running these blood tests when your pet is apparently healthy can pick up problems much earlier, allowing early detection, treatment and even prevention of disease.
Included in our wellness screens are haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and faecal analysis.
The cost for these are €120 for dogs and €130 for cats. All these tests are carried out in an external laboratory, giving us the most accurate results.
We are currently offering a free health check/consultation (normally €38) to any patient booked in for wellness testing.
*Please be aware this free consultation is for healthy patients where wellness testing is the appropriate choice. *
If your pet is unwell we can provide more urgent blood tests ran in the clinic.
If you would like to schedule your pet for a health check and wellness screening or learn more about this offer please email us at [email protected] or phone us on 0894068707.
Some lovely lungworms!!
Case of the month:
This little guy came into us over a week ago after having decided his owners medications would be a lovely little snack! He had helped himself to a full packet of paracetamol, packaging and all! Unfortunately, paracetamol in high doses can be pretty toxic to dogs!
When he arrived with us he was a little under the weather, and we made him vomit which produced some foil packaging as well as some of the paracetamol he had eaten. This however, was not enough to protect him for the potential damage the paracetamol would do to his liver.
He was carefully monitored and given fluids over 72 hours and his bloods checked regularly.
Just when we all thought he was on the home stretch his blood count suddenly dropped - as a result of delayed red blood cell damage from the paracetamol. This cause a Heinz body anaemia which quickly depleted his blood count from 30 down to just 7.5%!
With his energy going down fast and his gums becoming paler, our only option was to perform a blood transfusion! Thankfully White Dog Canine Coaching came to our rescue and provided Nero the Hero! He is well versed in giving blood and has been known to save an animal or two in Briarhill Veterinary Clinic in exchange for treats of course! Thanks to Nero and his owner Paula, our patients blood count rose steadily to 28% and he returned to his bouncy happy self and was well enough to finally go home!
He called in for a visit and a check today and he has continued to thrive! What a lucky boy!
Of course he got lots of cuddles with his favourite vet Laura while he was in! ❤️

Egyptians believed cats were magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck to the people who housed them. To honor these treasured pets, wealthy families dressed them in jewels and fed them treats fit for royalty.
You can tell that Nala knows she’s descended from magical royalty 😍

This lovely hedgehog was found by a client this morning on the lawn. Hedgehogs are not normally found out in the open during the daytime so the finder was concerned that she may be sick. After spending a few hours in the clinic and getting fed some cat food she was given a clean bill of health and sent hope to her own environment where she was seen scuttling back to her home in the woods ❤️ 🦔
Meet Ella - a gorgeous 6 month old puppy who was unfortunate enough to become infected with parvovirus. Her lovely owner brought her to us after she stopped eating and began vomiting and having diarrhoea. When she arrived she was very poorly and her chances of pulling through were slim. Thankfully we all decided she was worth taking a chance on to see how she would respond to treatment. She spent 4 nights in the veterinary equivalent of intensive care - receiving fluids via an IV drip, getting lots of different injections in order to help her pull through this awful virus. Many pups who get this virus do not make it so it was the best surprise ever when Ella started to eat again and perk up! She was discharged home last night for some TLC with her loving owner and I think you can see how happy she was to be finally leaving the vets! Hopefully she will continue to thrive and be one of the lucky ones who survived parvo! We feel so lucky and privileged to have met Ella and her owner - and to have been able to help Ella get better ♥️ Check out the comments for some photos of Ella feeling less than happy in her kennel after being with us a few days - we didn’t actually take any pictures when she first arrived as we really did fear the worst!
Rolo was into us earlier this week as her appetite had gone way down. She was very off form and only eating a third of her normal amount. After visiting us and getting some treatment she’s now back to her former glory - happily eating again! We love to see a good outcome! 🥰🥳
As part of September being happy healthy cat month we are delighted to be able to off 10% of all cat spays and neuters.

Give us a call today to book in 🐈🐈⬛🐈
Some Valentine’s Day lambs born yesterday! Luckily, despite being a difficult lambing, both lambs were alive and well! ♥️
Sheep scab! A common disease during the winter months, sheen scab is caused by a mite - Psoroptes ovis. 🐑 causes intense itching and wool loss 🐑 in severe cases can be debilitating and can cause loss of condition and even death 🐑 is spread from sheep to sheep via close contact 🐑 mites can live up to 17 days away from the host (sheep) making it a challenging disease to control 🐑 must be differentiated from lice as symptoms can be similar 🐑 there is a blood test that can detect early infection before any symptoms are present 🐑 treatment can be either by injection or plunge bath but treatment must be tailored to each farm #craughwellveterinary #sheepscab #veterinarymedicine
