Bicester Vets

Bicester Vets is an independent, modern, friendly small animal veterinary hospital providing expert care to dogs, cats and small mammals.

At Bicester Vets we pride ourselves on caring for your pets as we would care for our own. We have long opening hours for your convenience & provide our own 24 hour emergency vet should you require assistance out of hours. What's more the service is conveniently based at our own practice so there's no need to drive to an unfamiliar Emergency Centre. We also have 24 hour on-site nursing care as standard for our hospitalised patients.

Did you know we have a CT scanner at Bicester Vets?

Having a CT scanner at our practice means:

✔️ Faster diagnosis
✔️ Fewer referrals
✔️ Reduced waiting times
✔️ Continuity of care

CT scans are especially helpful for diagnosing complex issues, including:

> Cancer and tumour detection (location, size, and spread)
> Head and brain problems (neurological conditions, skull trauma)
> Spinal issues (disc disease, vertebral abnormalities and fractures)
> Orthopaedic conditions (joint injuries, fractures, developmental problems)
> Nasal, sinus and ear problems
> Dental and jaw assessments
> Chest or abdominal disorders

If you have any questions about CT scanning or want to know whether it’s the right choice for your pet, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of our team. We’re here to help guide you every step of the way.

Do you love a happy ending? 🐹

You may remember that a few weeks ago, we were searching for the owners of a Syrian hamster found wandering a path alone.

After arriving in our care, we were unable to locate her owner, but instead, this tiny patient has officially found her forever home with one of our nurses! Now renamed to Hammah Montana (aka Pookie!) and very much loved, she’s settled in beautifully and is already living her best life.

Thank you to everyone who shared our original post and helped us try to find her family. Sometimes happy endings come in very small packages 🧡💙

As we spend more time outdoors, stings become more common. Dogs (and cats!) love to chase buzzing insects - but it can end painfully.

Common signs of a bee or wasp sting include:

🐝 Sudden yelp
🐝 Swelling (often around the face or paw)
🐝 Drooling
🐝 Licking at the area

Most stings cause mild swelling, but occasionally, pets can have allergic reactions, which are more serious.

Seek urgent advice if you notice:

🚨 Facial swelling
🚨 Vomiting
🚨 Collapse
🚨 Breathing difficulty

If you’re unsure, always give us a call:

Damp gardens + curious dogs = lungworm risk.

Spring showers create perfect conditions for slugs and snails, which carry lungworm larvae. Sadly, we see cases every year that could have been prevented with routine parasite control.

If your dog:

🐶 Eats grass
🌧️ Drinks from puddles
🎾 Plays with toys left outside
🐌 Has a habit of investigating slimy visitors

They may be at risk.

Prevention is simple - speak to our team about the best option for your canine companion. And don’t forget, our Bicester Vets Healthy Pets Club includes lungworm protection - find out more at the link below, or chat with our team!

We are so happy to introduce you all to Dani, our newest vet 👋

Please join us in extending her a very warm welcome! Originally from South Carolina, Dani brings a real passion for animals, the outdoors, and working closely with both pets and their people. Outside of work, you’ll usually find her exploring outdoors or training her four dogs in canine sports — alongside caring for her five hens at home! 🐶🐔

We’re so excited to have Dani as part of the Bicester Vets team and know many of you will meet her over the coming weeks in consults and around the practice.

Please help us make her feel welcome! 💙🧡

Rabbit owners - this one’s for you!

Flystrike is a serious and often life-threatening condition in rabbits, especially during warmer months. It occurs when flies lay eggs on soiled or damp fur, which quickly hatch into maggots that damage the skin and release toxins.

Rabbits with diarrhoea, dental disease, arthritis, or obesity are at higher risk as they may struggle to groom themselves. Daily health checks, clean housing, and prompt veterinary attention for any changes are vital.

If you ever notice maggots or sudden changes in behaviour, contact our team immediately.

As an independent practice, we are owned and run by veterinary professionals - not a corporate group. That means our decisions are based on what is best for our patients and community.

But just as importantly…

We provide our own 24/7 emergency care.

This means:

✔ Your pet is never transferred to an unfamiliar out-of-hours centre
✔ Their full medical history is immediately available
✔ They are cared for by a team that already knows them
✔ Critical patients receive continuous monitoring

For hospitalised pets, having a nurse on-site overnight allows:

> Regular pain assessments
> IV fluid monitoring
> Immediate response to changes
> Close post-operative observation

Emergencies are stressful enough. Continuity of care can make all the difference.

We are proud to provide round-the-clock support for our patients and their families.

During Hedgehog Awareness Week, we’re sharing guidance on when to step in.

Healthy hedgehogs are:

🦔 Active at night
🦔 Well-rounded (not thin or visibly underweight)
🦔 Quiet and able to curl into a tight ball

Seek advice if you see:

🦔 A hedgehog out in daylight (unless moving nests)
🦔 Visible wounds or flies around the body
🦔 Persistent coughing
🦔 Difficulty walking

Always contact a wildlife rescue centre for guidance - hedgehogs have very specific care needs.

With thoughtful gardening and awareness, we can all play a part in helping this iconic British species thrive.

It’s Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month!

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible work of our Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs).

Veterinary nursing is a highly skilled, regulated profession. Our nurses complete years of training, pass rigorous exams, and must stay up to date with ongoing professional development.

Every single day they:

> Monitor anaesthetics during surgery
> Provide intensive inpatient care
> Run nurse-led clinics (weight management, senior pet care and more)
> Take blood samples and place IV catheters
> Support diagnostic procedures
> Provide wound management
> Offer behavioural and preventative healthcare advice
> Comfort nervous pets (and worried owners)

…to name just a few!

They are patient advocates, problem-solvers, and a constant source of reassurance.

Please join us in thanking our fantastic nursing team for their compassion, dedication and clinical expertise 💕
