We are a small fully independent vet clinic which means we have zero marketing budget. We rely heavily on word of mouth and reviews from our brilliant clients and we are so grateful for your loyalty. We are always delighted when a client comes in because they've heard we have a great reputation and we promise that we always do our best to live up to this reputation. We offer individual, tailor made care to suit your needs and we can guarantee lots of praise and cuddles (for the patient, less so the owner!).

If you'd like to register with us or book an appointment you can ring the clinic on 046-9549886 or go to our website www.acornhousevetclinic.ie

Being a vet is not all sunshine and kittens, but sometimes it is.....

These beautiful purebred Ragdolls were in for their first vaccinations and they managed to escape the clinic despite our best efforts to keep them. They'll be looking for homes in the next week or so so if you are interested we can pass on breeder's contact details.

This happy little piggy is Beans. We met Beans a couple of weeks ago as a second opinion for a large facial abscess. His vets had attempted to lance the abscess twice without success. Unfortunately for Beans, guinea pig abscesses are tricky to deal with - they are encapsulated and the pus that forms is very thick and solid so it doesn't drain the same way as some other species would. Beans had to have major surgery painstakingly removing the abscess with its capsule in its entirety. Luckily Beans has been a little trooper, both for his surgery and his recovery and we are delighted with his progress. Well done Beans 💐❤️💐

Many of you have probably already met little Ted because he is in daily at the moment for treatment and his little face lights up the room every time. There is nothing more lovely than a smiling happy dog and he is the highlight of our day ❤️

Another day another life saving procedure.

Shelley's owner informed me on the way to preschool that Shelley had sustained a serious forelimb injury (cause unknown) and requested that I bring her to work today for further investigations. Luckily there were no fractures which is important because turtles need their front legs for swimming. We suspect a soft tissue strain and as such have bandaged the stricken limb and we are cautiously optimistic about full return to function.

Hello everyone, just an update on the latest in the avian influenza situation in Ireland. It's looking like it is going to be a bad winter for avian influenza here and in the UK so compulsory orders are coming in to keep all birds under cover from Monday (but if you can do so sooner all the better, Kells is not too far from here).

The Department of Agriculture is also advising now that members of the public do not approach or pick up sick/injured wild birds. If you do see them, please ring the department who will send out appropriately equipped personnel to collect them. Please do not bring them to the clinic at this time.

Lovely labrador Dave was a hero last week. This smashing boy has been a frequent flyer with us over the last couple of years due to his puppy antics but we never predicted that he would grow up to be a real life saver.

Dave's auntie Izzy came in to see us last week and she was very very unwell. Her prognosis was poor as she needed surgery to have any hope but her bloodwork showed her to be so anaemic that surgery was going to be incredibly risky. We thought there was no hope but then realised that Dave would make a perfect blood donor. Wonderful brave Dave provided a life saving blood transfusion to his auntie and this allowed her to safely have her surgery.

A week on and Izzy is doing fantastically well and we hope she will make a full recovery. Izzy's biggest issue is that she is not the biggest fan of Dave usually but she owes him her life so she will have to be nice to him from now on (or at least for a couple of weeks!). Well done Dave and Izzy, we are so glad you are both doing so well! ❤️
