The Visit Vet

Happy New Year, everybody!

Due to a change in personal circumstances, I have changed my regular opening hours. I will be available on 07983834067 outside these hours and can often accommodate visits outside these hours by special arrangement.

And that's us for a couple of days! Merry Christmas to you all, thank you for your custom this year! 🙏

Does this seem familiar? Why not try a home visit for your cat? At the very least, the stress of putting them into a carrier and travelling both ways is removed, so they are often less upset during their examination😼

Did you know that pets can have acupuncture, too? The Visit Vet can use acupuncture to help with your pet's condition alongside conventional medicine, especially chronic pain management. Call or message me if you think your pretty can benefit from this service.

Only one month to go❗️ From 10 June 2024, cats in England will need to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they’re 20 weeks old.

🧑‍⚕️ Be sure to contact your vet to book in an appointment.

Microchipping will help reunite you with your cat if they ever become lost. Even indoor-only cats should be microchipped because they are also at risk of becoming lost.

Owners could face a fine of up to £500 if they do not microchip their cat by the required deadline.

Please please please watch out for misinformation posts for anything. This post has been provided by our main source of information regarding poisons in pets - the Veterinary Poisons Information Service and Animal PoisonLine - it's in the name

🌟Worried about your dog and rapeseed?🌟

At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

These posts are misinformation.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.

Have a very happy Easter, everybody! Let's hope this is the beginning of warmer weather.

Remember to keep your pets from eating your Easter dinner, chocolate and plants in the garden, so everybody has a good time 😁
