Natterjacks Vet

Our vet Liz from our Bournemouth practice has arrived back from taking part in a combined initiative with Mission Rabies. VetPartners and MSD (who produce the Rabies vaccines) were vaccinating over 2000 dogs in 4 days in Malawi!

Mission Rabies is an incredible charity working across the globe vaccinating dogs against Rabies to protect the community. Prior to their campaigns commencing in 2015, Blantyre hospital Malawi had the highest number of child deaths from Rabies in the whole of Africa - the Malawi project is now the blueprint for successful prevention campaigns! This was an inspiring week for Liz and was well spent with wonderful people! Zikomo Malawi!🇲🇼

Here’s some of the photos Liz would love to share with you all.

This is Hermy 🐢

Hermy decided to go on an adventure and left the safety of his garden this week.

Thankfully, Hermy is microchipped and his owner’s details were fully up to date. As soon as they realised he was missing, they were able to report him as lost through the Petlog app, with the missing date recorded as 22nd of July. He was brought in today on the 24th!

Hermy’s story is a perfect reminder of just how important microchipping is. If a lost tortoise is found and scanned by a vet or rescue, a registered microchip can quickly reunite them with their family. It only takes one unexpected escape for a microchip to make all the difference.

So many sadly are not chipped and often need to be rehomed which is sad for them and their owners who must be missing them!

If you’d like to know more or want to discuss microchipping a tortoise with us please call your local practice 🐢

🎉 Congratulations to our Poole Deputy Head Nurse, Jazz! 🐱

We’re proud to celebrate Jazz, who has passed her ISFM Diploma in Feline Nursing with flying colours! 👩‍🎓

Although she was already cat-savvy, this diploma has given her an even broader depth of knowledge and expert skills in all things feline—from anaesthesia and nursing care to behaviour and welfare.

This is a fantastic achievement is thoroughly deserved.

Congratulations, Jazz! —we’re so proud of you! 🐾

🎣 Poor Angus got himself into a bit of a sticky situation with a fishing hook!

This curious fluffball decided the fish lure looked far too fun to ignore and couldn’t resist having a play. Unfortunately, he didn’t realise there were sharp barbs attached, and one ended up embedded in his front leg.

Luckily, vet Julian was able to carefully remove the hook with minimal fuss under anaesthetic, Angus recovered well and seemed completely unbothered by the whole experience!

A gentle reminder to keep fishing tackle safely out of reach of curious pets—it only takes a moment for an accident to happen. We’re very glad this adventurous boy made a quick recovery! ❤️🐾

🎉 One of our wonderful vets, Bellin, has just hit her 5th year with us at Poole 🐾

5 years of keeping our patients happy, our team laughing, and proving that no case is ever too tricky (or too furry!).

Thank you for all the hard work & endless dedication. You’ve become such a huge part of the practice, and we honestly couldn’t imagine the place without you.

Happy work anniversary, Bellin! 🥂🐶🐱💙
