🐾 September is arthritis awareness month at Morven Vets! 🐾

🐶 Arthritis can have a profound effect on our pets' mobility as they get older, and can significantly affect their quality of life.

🐱 There is a new class of treatment available for dogs and cats called monoclonal antibody therapy which reduces the pain caused by arthritis. It has a high safety profile (particularly important for those elderly patients with other health concerns), minimal side effects, and involves a regular monthly injection.

💉 Throughout the month of September we are very excited to be able to offer the first dose of this treatment FREE* to eligible patients!! Please get in touch via phone, email or Petsapp if you would like to find out more about this treatment, whether it could help your pet, or to book an appointment.

*A standard consultation charge will apply, or a reduced consultation charge if your pet has had an examination by one of our vets within the last 2 months. Appointments are during specific clinics on weekdays and are subject to availability. This is a prescription medication and the vet may decide it is not suitable for your pet based on their clinical history and a physical exam.

Useful information for anyone that comes across injured wildlife.

Deer Incident on B9000 - Important Advice

This morning, we received several calls and messages about a roe deer on the side of the B9000, midway between Newburgh and Pitmedden. Sadly, the female deer had badly broken legs and could not be saved, but we were able to end her suffering. It is worth noting on this occasion the person who hit the deer did get in touch with us.

There was some confusion about what to do if you hit a deer or find an injured one on the roadside.

Here’s our advice:

1) Pull over if or when it is safe to do so and turn on your hazard lights.

2) Use the What3Words App to note your exact location.
(Download it here if you don’t have it yet: https://what3words.com/products/what3words-app )

3) If the deer is a danger to other road users, call the police on 101. Otherwise, contact your nearest wildlife rescue centre. For those in Aberdeenshire, call New Arc Wildlife Rescue on 01358 701723.

**If possible, wait at the scene in your vehicle so you can update the rescue organisation or police if the deer’s condition changes**

Stay safe and thank you for your help and concern!

Update: Thank you all so much for your kind words of support! We wouldn't be here without our loyal clients - we appreciate you all and will continue to provide the best service we can for you and your incredible animals 🐈‍⬛🐕🐑🐂🐎

In light of the news today regarding the CMA's investigation into the veterinary profession, we wanted to take this opportunity to say how proud we are to be an independent practice. We are local vets, working for the local community, providing high quality care at fair prices, and we are committed to staying this way.

We are proud to provide our own out of hours cover so you will never find yourself diverted to an unfamiliar location in an emergency, and you will see the same vets you see throughout the day in the practice.

We know vet bills can be unwelcome, especially as they frequently come at emotive and stressful times. We are, and will remain, fully transparent with pricing, and will always offer all viable treatment options so you are given as much information and choice as possible.

We are proud to be part of our community working for our community 🐾
