Clarendon Street POTM

AUGUST PET
Bill - 4 years old

BREED Crossbreed

HOW WE HELPED Bill’s owners adopted him three years ago from North Macedonia., via a local rescue organisation, Strays Without Borders. When Bill first arrived he was quick to love his owners, but scared of everything else! With lots of love and patience he has made excellent progress, and will even tolerate some fuss from Harriet in the surgery waiting room (though not yet in the consult room!)

Bill has struggled with skin problems for the past few years. Until the end of last year, his allergies were well managed, but shortly before Christmas Bill started loosing hair and his skin became increasingly scaly and sore. All the usual tests came back negative, but Bill was loosing weight and increasingly lethargic. A referral to the vet school led to a diagnosis of Leishmaniasis, a disease spread by sandflies, that can lie dormant in the system for years. Happily, with the right treatment, Bill is now regrowing his lovely coat and is so much brighter and happier.

Strays without borders have been an ongoing source of support for Bill’s owners. You can read more about their work on their website

We have been receiving lots of fledgling birds who are not quite able to fly. It’s normal for most garden birds to spend a few days on the ground between leaving the nest and flying away. The parents are usually close by, keeping an eye out and supplying them with food. If they are not in immediate danger or obviously injured, they stand the best chance of survival if left alone. The RSPCA have some useful info on fledgling birds, and you can always give us a call if you find one that does appear to be injured or at immediate risk.

During the spring and summer months, it's very common to find baby birds on the ground. Birds take far better care of their babies than humans can, so if you find a baby bird, keep your pets away and follow our advice below.

Do you love animals AND Cake?

If so, round up the dog and the kids, and head over to the Church Street Vets Open Day!

Our independent, family-run surgery, Clarendon Street Vets, has been caring for the pets of central Cambridge for over 60 years.

This Saturday, 26th April, from 1-4pm, we will be throwing open the doors of our new, Stapleford, branch surgery.

Joint practice owner, Harriet O'Riordan, says "Patrick and I are very happy to bring our years of experience, and compassionate, client focused veterinary care to Stapleford. Church Street Vets will have the same core values as Clarendon Street, offering a warm, community atmosphere, a caring team and outstanding clinical care. "

Church Street Vets is conveniently located at 65 London Road, Stapleford, CB22 5DG, with ample parking and facilities including a state-of-the-art operating theatre, dental X-ray and separate dog and cat waiting rooms and hospitalisation facilities.

The Open Day will feature practice tours, dog agility, animal encounters, ferret-racing, face-painting, quizzes, games and a raffle. There will also be stalls selling plants and second-hand books, and loads of cake, with all proceeds going to conservation charity ‘From the Brink’.

If all that isn't enough, there is a rumour that vet, Patrick, will be dressed as a giant chicken!

We really hope to see you there ...

Patrick, Harriet, and all the Church Street Vets team.

Remember to drive carefully and keep an eye out for our wildlife when on country roads.

Recently we were called out to a badger that was lying unconscious at the side of the road.
We scooped her up and took to Clarendon Street Veterinary Surgery who examined her and performed an Xray and sadly her injuries were too severe for a badger her age to recover and have a good quality of life so she was let go.

Many thanks to the vet who helped us with this 💚
