🦷✨ We're excited to introduce our new dental X-ray at APLee Vets!

This advanced equipment allows us to see below the gum line with much greater precision, helping us identify hidden dental disease and provide more accurate treatment while our patients are safely anaesthetised.

This means:
✔️ Better diagnostics
✔️ More effective dental procedures
✔️ Earlier detection of problems
✔️ Improved comfort and care for our patients

We used our new dental X-ray system for the first time this week on Babs. Looking at his teeth initially, the problems beneath the gum line weren't visible and could easily have been missed until they became a much bigger issue.

Thanks to dental X-rays, we were able to identify these hidden concerns early and create the best treatment plan for him. This technology helps us find and address dental problems sooner, improving long-term health and wellbeing for our patients.

🐾 Prevention and early detection make all the difference!

Week 4 of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month is driven by passion 🔥

It’s early mornings, late finishes, and constant learning. It’s monitoring anaesthetics, assisting in surgery, running nurse clinics, and ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of care.
Behind every task is a deep commitment to animal welfare and a genuine love for the job.

This week, we celebrate the passion that keeps veterinary nurses going, even on the toughest days.

Week 3 of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month is all about empathy, which is one of the most important parts of veterinary nursing 💙🐾

Veterinary nurses don’t just treat patients, they take the time to understand them too. They recognise fear, pain, and stress, adapting their care to each individual pet to help make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

They also support owners through every step, helping to explain procedures, ease worries, and provide reassurance during difficult times.

Empathy is at the heart of what veterinary nurses do every single day. 💙

Week 2 of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

This gives us the opportunity to recognise both the incredible work veterinary nurses do and the importance of protecting mental wellbeing within the profession.
Veterinary professionals face emotional challenges every day, and sadly the profession has one of the highest rates of mental health struggles. That’s why creating a supportive and positive workplace is so important. 🩺

VNs spend so much time caring for others, from pets and owners to their colleagues at work, but it’s just as important that they take care of themselves too.
Encouraging breaks, talking openly, checking in with one another, and supporting each other every day can make such a difference. 💚

May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month 🐾🐾
Meet Olivia! 💙
Olivia has been part of the team at APLee Vets for 18 months and will be celebrating 5 years qualified as a veterinary nurse this July! 🩺🐶
Her compassion, dedication, and love for animals make her such an important part of our team, and we can’t wait to celebrate all that veterinary nurses do over the coming weeks. 🐾

Week 1 of VNAM is all about compassion, which is the heart of vet nursing. VNs like Olivia are there in the moments that matter most: gently holding a nervous pet, offering comfort during difficult procedures, and being there for owners through emotional decisions.

This Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, we celebrate the compassion that makes every visit a little easier for both you and, especially, your pets ❤️

Pet of the Month – April ✨️

Conker visited us yesterday for her spay procedure. We typically carry this out around three months after a season, allowing hormone levels to settle and reducing blood supply to the area, helping to make the surgery safer.

Spaying also plays an important role in preventing pyometra, a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus. This condition can develop quickly and often requires emergency surgery to remove the ovaries and uterus.

We’re so proud of how well Conker did ❤️

Happy International Guide Dog Day 🐾💛
