Nova the malamute mix has an interest in cats so when she noticed this photo frame of Midge, she took the opportunity to have a closer look.

There are lots of ways to socialize your dog to other animals. Some dogs are interested in movies and photos (thanks for the demonstration Nova!). Using odour is another way to socialize safely - exposure the bedding, clothing or even fur combined with positive reinforcement training can help dogs learn appropriate behaviour around other species.

It’s that time of year again where we are starting to see baby birds. 🐣🐦‍⬛

It can be hard to know what to do if you see one alone on the ground. Birds often do much better in the wild than in care. In most cases it is important to ensure they are not injured and out of direct danger. Their parents are likely watching closely, still feeding and caring for them. It is normal behaviour for fledglings to be hopping on the ground and to seem a bit clumsy. They are learning how to fly.🪽🪶

This sweet 10 day old lamb managed to break his leg.
A splint was applied for stabilisation. He was growing fast, which means his bones heal fast! After 3 weeks and one bandage change, follow up X-rays showed the bone was healed enough for the splint to come off.

A fracture like this could also be treated with surgery to get the bone ends in the correct alignment. Splinting offered a lower cost option and thankfully achieved a great result for this little guy 🐑

Check out Baba Yellowlegs, the 5 month old female ferret.

Isn’t she just the cutest! 💕

Baba Yellowlegs was the sweetest patient seeking out cuddles from our staff. She recovered really well from her procedure and was eating again in no time.

Desexing ferrets can help reduce their smell and has multiple health benefits.
If you would like to learn more about ferret desexing and Baba Yellowlegs procedure click on the photos and see the comments.

If you have a ferret at home and are considering desexing, feel free to give us a call.

🦷 August is dental health month! 🦷

Dental health in our pets is just as important as our own dental health.

We will be offering FREE dental health checks this month at both our Trafalgar and Newborough Centres.

A free dental health check involves a 10min consultation with one of our veterinarians. The vet will assess the health of your pet’s teeth and provide you with a dental health assessment, treatment recommendations and preventative care options. 🪥

Have you noticed any bad breath? Or is your pet eating slower than they used to? This could be a sign of dental disease. Don’t miss out on free professional advice!

** Please note: If you have another concern you wish to discuss with our veterinarians in regards to your pet’s health you will need to book a consultation.
