Frankie was recently admitted to our hospital feeling unwell, with a tender abdomen. The attending vet, Laura, conducted blood tests, which indicated the need for further investigation. An X-ray revealed a sewing needle and thread lodged in his abdomen, necessitating an emergency laparotomy to prevent any further damage.

The surgery was delicate, but with vet Laura and Nurse Vera's compassion, skill, dedication and expertise it made all the difference!
They provided Frankie with the best chance of survival. We are thrilled to report that Frankie returned for a post-operative check-up and had his stitches removed. He is now in excellent health!

🚨 Attention all wildlife lovers! 🦅💔

Unfortunately our staff at that Longford Animal Health Centre are currently unable to take in any sick or injured wild birds due to Avian influenza.
This is a tough time for our feathered friends, and we appreciate your understanding.
If you suspect Avian Influenza in your area, please call the Avian Influenza Hotline at 01 607 2512 between 9am and 6pm. 📞
Together, we can protect our wildlife!

⚠️ Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has recently been confirmed in a wild buzzard in Co. Dublin.

⚠️ Do not pick up or touch sick or dead wild birds, and keep your pets away from them.

🐾❄️ Is your furry friends feeling the chill this morning? Just like us, our beloved pets,farm animals & wild animals need extra love and care during the cold months! 🐶🐱🐑 🦅🦆

Here are some tips to keep them warm and safe:
1. Cosy Shelter: Ensure they have a warm, dry place to lie away from drafts.
2. Proper Nutrition: Increase their food intake slightly to help them maintain body heat.
3. Hydration: Check their water supply regularly. It can freeze quickly in cold weather!
4. Shorter Walks: For pets, opt for shorter toilet breaks but more frequent ones.
5. Watch for Signs: Keep an eye out for shivering or reluctance to go outside – it's a sign they need to warm up!
🦅Wild birds need our help too!
Provide fresh water, nutritious birdseed, and shelter like birdhouses or shrubs. Keep feeders clean and check for any frozen water sources. Your support can make a big difference in their survival during harsh winter months!
Let's keep all our animal friends safe and snug!
