💚VETERINARY NURSE AWARENESS MONTH 2025💚
⭐️Mairead Nicholson RVN⭐️
Mairead became a part of our Nursing team at Scott Vets in March 2023, when she joined as a student nurse. Her favourite aspects of the job are caring for our inpatients and carrying out in-house laboratory diagnostic tests.

Over the last 2 years, she has fulfilled the rigorous veterinary nurse training brilliantly and we are pleased to say that she passed her final practical exams only last month to become an official Registered Veterinary Nurse. WELL DONE Mairead. Everyone at Scott Vets is so proud of you!🥰
Please joint us in congratulating Mairead on her amazing achievement.

Parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms can all affect your pet’s health. The good news is that preventing these parasites is much easier than dealing with an infestation.

Prevention isn’t just about comfort—it’s about keeping your pet healthy. 📞 Contact us to discuss a comprehensive parasite prevention plan.

Heading into the summer months, we are seeing more young birds brought into the practice, sometimes unnecessarily.
🐦If a young bird is found on the ground, fully feathered and uninjured, it is likely that they are a fledgling. The young of most familiar garden birds fledge once they are fully feathered, but before they can fly. These fledglings spend a day or two, sometimes longer, on the ground while their flight feathers complete their growth.
🐦If the bird isn't in danger, please leave it where you found it. Fledglings are extremely unlikely to be abandoned by their parents. The parents are probably just away collecting food - or are hiding nearby, keeping a watchful eye, or even being frightened away from their youngster by your presence. You should leave fledglings where they are, in the care of their own parents.
🐦If the bird is in a busy path or road, you can pick it up and move it to a safer location as close to where you found it as possible, ideally in hearing distance.

How many ❤️/👍’s can we get for the lovely Alfie?

Alfie recently needed to spend 8 days in our Veterinary hospital when he became very unwell with severe gastroenteritis. Due to the discomfort in his abdomen, he wouldn’t eat and our team struggled to tempt him with any of the foods we made so he required supportive feeding via a feeding tube inserted into his oesophagus.
Over the week he became gradually better and we are pleased to report that Alfie is now recovering at home with his family. Our Student veterinary nurse Bethan thought Alfie had been very brave throughout his stay with us so awarded him with a certificate for outstanding bravery! 🥰
