Baby birds don’t always need rescuing! πŸ’š

We’re seeing lots of concerned people bringing in young birds that have been found on the ground. While we completely understand the instinct to help, many of these little birds actually don’t need rescuing at all.

If you find a fluffy, fully feathered baby bird hopping around on the ground, it’s most likely a fledgling. This is a normal stage of development where they’re learning to fly. Although they may look vulnerable, their parents are usually nearby keeping a close eye on them and returning regularly to feed them.

What should you do?

βœ… Leave them where they are if they’re safe. Their parents are almost certainly still caring for them.

βœ… If they’re in immediate danger (for example, in the middle of a road or where cats are nearby), gently move them a short distance to a nearby bush, hedge or sheltered spot. Their parents will still be able to find them.

πŸš‘ Please only bring a bird to us if it is clearly injured, for example:
β€’ It has a visible wound or bleeding.
β€’ It has a drooping wing or obvious broken leg.
β€’ It has been caught by a cat or dog.
β€’ It is unable to stand or is unresponsive.

🐣 If the bird has very few feathers or is mostly naked, it may be a nestling rather than a fledgling. If you can safely locate the nest, it’s perfectly fine to place it back.

Our local wildlife charities are incredibly busy at the moment, especially during the hot weather. Leaving healthy fledglings with their parents gives them the very best chance of growing into strong, healthy adult birds and helps wildlife rescuers focus on the animals that genuinely need urgent care.

Thank you for caring so much about our local wildlifeβ€”and if you’re ever unsure, give us a call before bringing a bird in. We’re always happy to advise. πŸ’šπŸ¦

🚨 A little reminder from your local vet team… please microchip your cats! πŸ±πŸ’™

We’ve recently had an influx of injured cats handed into the practice that sadly weren’t microchipped, meaning we were unable to locate their owners πŸ’”

A microchip gives your cat the best chance of being reunited with you if they wander off, are brought in after an accident, or even just decide somebody else’s sofa is nicer than yours for the week.

And remember:
βœ”οΈ Indoor cats escape too
βœ”οΈ Collars can fall off
βœ”οΈ Chips only work if your details are up to date!

Microchipping is now a legal requirement in the UK for owned cats over 20 weeks old β€” but more importantly, it helps us get beloved pets back where they belong: home 🏑

If you’re not sure whether your cat is chipped, or your contact details need updating, give us a call on 01273 426100 and we’ll happily help check πŸ“ž

Unfortunately we have has a male white short-haired cat, deceased on arrival, Unneutered and no microchip detected, handed in to us. He was found yesterday on Hangleton Road.
Please call us on 01273 426100 .

***IMPORTANT NOTICE****
We are aware that a large number of bags of onions have washed up on the beach between Shoreham and Hove.
Can we please remind you that onions are toxic to dogs if ingested.
Here's a reminder of the details we shared in our pre christmas dangers post.
"This group of plants including onions, garlic, leeks, shallots and chives and are toxic to cats and dogs, whether uncooked or cooked. They contain a compound that damages the oxygen-carrying substance that is found in red blood cells. This damage, in turn, can cause red cells to rupture and be removed from circulation faster than normal, causing anaemia.
If you’re concerned that your pet could have consumed anything like this, please call your vet as soon as you are able, and they will advise you on a plan of action".
Please share this if you can in all the relevant places.
