We have had a cat brought into us as a stray. There is no chip so we're trying to find out if she has an owner.

She was found in Howe Green, is tortoise shell and very much an older lady. To be honest we don't know much more. She is not in great shape at the moment. We are currently treating her for some superficial wounds and trying to find out what other problems she may have. She's pretty matted and skinny so if she does have a family, it's possible she may have been missing for a while.

If you think she is yours, please give our Blackmore branch a call - 01277 823858

Last night, at our Blackmore hospital, equine vet Helen Whitbread, held an evening talking all about her recent trip to The Gambia, as a volunteer for The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust - and what an evening it was! A really interesting insight into both the country and the work that the charity perform, peppered with funny anecdotes and sad stories.

Thank you to everyone who came along and shared the evening with us, and for helping us raise a few more pennies for the charity. And, of course, huge thanks to Helen for giving up her evening to regale us with tales of her two weeks in The Gambia.

If anyone wants to know more about the trust, or support the truly important work they do, you can find out more at www.gambiahorseanddonkey.org.uk

Meet the newest member of the H&J vet family, Oana, who joined us just 3 months ago. She is already very much making her mark at the practice and has quickly become one of the family and a client favourite!

Oana graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Bucharest in 2011 and says she always knew she wanted to be an equine vet. Her main interests are lameness and diagnostic imaging, but what she loves most about being a vet is getting out and helping horses and the people who care for them. Every horse has a story, and she says she feels very lucky to be part of their journey, whether it's for a routine check-up or a more challenging issue.

One case that recently reminded Oana why she loves this profession was Grace; a lovely horse who suffered a large wound to her side. Grace's treatment involved around six hours of wound care and stitching, and her recovery was truly a team effort. Oana says that alongside an incredible nursing team and Grace's dedicated, loving owner, they worked together to give Grace the best possible chance to heal. Seeing her recover so well was incredibly rewarding and made Oana very proud to be part of Grace's story.

Oana believes kindness, good communication, and teamwork are just as important as clinical skills, and she is always keen to learn, help, and make a positive difference wherever she can.

Oana says she is looking forward to meeting more horses and the wonderful people who love them, so if you want to be part of her story, book her for a visit! Call us 01277 823808
