🐾 Lexi loves a good cuddle! ❤️

Lexi might be a bit of a frequent flyer at our vets, but we never get tired of seeing her! She's always greets us with a big smile and a wagging tail, and we're always happy to give her a little extra attention. 🥰🐶

Here she is posing for the camera and enjoying some extra love and cuddles with our amazing Nurse Cara.

Lots of love for you, Lexi! ❤️

🐍 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧... 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞! 🐍

Meet Bonnie, a gorgeous 9-year-old Great Dane who recently came rushing in after being 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐞! The poor girl even had two separate sets of puncture wounds! 😮

Thankfully, Bonnie’s owner acted quickly and brought her straight in. Given Bonnie’s large size, she required two vials of snake antivenom!

Bonnie was a very brave girl and an absolute trooper throughout her treatment. She recovered really well and was even keen to play afterwards! 🥰🐶❤️

Some possible signs to look out for include:

🐾 Swelling or bleeding around the bite site
🐾 Sudden collapse, sometimes followed by an apparent “recovery”
🐾 Lethargy, weakness or shaking
🐾 Vomiting and excessive salivation/drooling
🐾 Dilated pupils
🐾 Irregular or difficult breathing
🐾 Bloody urine

🐾 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐱! 🐾

We saw gorgeous Drax last week after he developed a painful 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐝.

Corns are 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞, 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 (𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧) that form on the paw pads. They can cause sharp, localised pain, a bit like 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞! 😣🐾

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬? 🤔
Their long, slender legs, narrow feet and reduced fatty cushioning between their toe pads can make their paw pads more susceptible to pressure, particularly when walking repeatedly on hard surfaces.

We took X-rays of Drax’s foot to make sure there weren’t any other issues contributing to his lameness before Dr Erin performed a 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲.

A tenotomy is a minor day procedure where a 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝. This reduces pressure on the paw pad, allowing the corn to resolve or grow out. Many dogs are able to walk much more comfortably afterwards. 🐕❤️

Hopefully Drax will now be back to enjoying much more comfortable walkies! 🥰

A painful corn could be one possible cause!

We’re very experienced in caring for Greyhounds and always love seeing these gorgeous long-legged patients. 𝐖𝐞’𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬! 🐾💕

🐰 A little share for a wonderful cause ❤️

This wonderful rabbit sanctuary rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes abandoned rabbits, giving them the chance of a safe and loving future.
They’re currently experiencing an influx of bunnies and urgently need foster carers. 🐰💕

If you can help, or know someone who may be able to, please check out their post. Even a share could help this reach the right person. 🙏🐇❤️

🚨 Cuteness alert! 🐶💕

Meet Mandy, a gorgeous 4-month-old Cavoodle who came in for her desexing this week. She was one very brave girl! 🐾💕

Of course, this little cutie pie melted our hearts... and we’re pretty sure Dr Erin enjoyed the cuddles just as much as Mandy did! 😂🥰

🌻 Spring Is in Full Swing! 🌻

Longer days, warmer weather and colourful gardens mean more opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy time with our four-legged companions ☀️🐾🌸

But we’re not the only ones enjoying the warmer weather! Spring can also bring unwanted visitors such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes that transmit heartworm, so now’s a great time to make sure your pet’s parasite protection is up to date.

With convenient options available, including yearly Bravecto Quantum & heartworm prevention injections for dogs, and Felpreva, a three-monthly spot-on flea & tick treatment for cats, keeping on top of parasite prevention can be nice and simple!

Keeping your furry friend protected means one less thing to worry about while you’re out enjoying those beautiful spring days together 🌺 🐶🐱
