🌳🍄 Happy Earth Day 2025 🌿🌍

One of the ways we try to be more eco-friendly at Old Courts Vets is by recycling medicinal packaging and safely disposing of medications.

So we encourage you to return any unused medications for disposal and bring any blister packs, plastic pill bottles, plastic syringes and plastic vials to us for recycling ♻️

🐶🐱 Let's all do our part to help keep our planet beautiful,
for all humans and animals great and small 🐜🐋

With lambing season upon us, we kindly ask all dog owners to be vigilant and responsible.

Sheep worrying can cause severe stress, injury or even loss of lambs
and ewes.

🚫 Please keep your dogs on a lead near livestock

🐾 Even the most well-behaved dogs can become excited or curious, leading to
unintended harm

👁 Stay aware of your surroundings and keep dogs under close control

Let’s work together to protect our farmers’ livelihoods and ensure a safe lambing
season for all 🐑

My pet bird is unwell, can I make an appointment? 🦆🐔

Aviary birds, birds of prey, chickens and pet wildfowl can still be seen as patients but additional precautions will apply during Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) measures.

Please call us for advice and instructions before bringing pet birds to the practice.

If you find an unwell wild bird, please visit the RSPCA website for advice on the best approach.

Please do NOT bring unwell wild birds to the practice or to rescue centres.
