Emergency Triage Service!

Please remember we cover the costs of Vidivet for all our clients! Follow this link for the sign up button https://heritagevets.co.uk/emergency/

We always receive lovely feedback from the clients that use Vidivet when we are closed, getting advice on whether their pet needs to visit the emergency service or can wait until we are open.

Here are some of the lovely comments:
- 'Very impressed. I was worried about my puppy as she is my first pet and wasn’t sure if she was okay or needed the vet. The advice I received made me feel very assured.'
- 'Excellent and clear recommendations with safety netting.'
- 'Good solid advice helped me to deal with my pets problem until I got him to vet THANK YOU again much appreciated'

Lovely Rosie came to practice to have a couple of lumps removed from her face.

Here she is days later with the wounds healing beautifully! Thankfully the results came back as benign :)

Educational Monday: Berry Bugs

It's well and truly 'Berry Bug' season!

These tiny orange critters are a type of mite (also known as harvest mites, due to the time of year we usually see them).

They are common in farm land, and are often seen on hunting cats. Sometimes they don't bother the cat, but if they are allergic cats will become very itchy usually around their feet and ears where the mites like to live. This poor little cat also had them infesting the base of her tail.

There is no licensed treatment, but a spray we usually use for fleas seems to do the trick as well as managing the itch and allergic reaction with medications.

If your pet suddenly gets very itchy please always get them an appointment in case it's something like this!

Who remembers Albie and Freya from our cat vaccinations post a couple of months ago?

They were back with us on Monday for their neutering procedures!

Freya was spayed, and Albie was castrated. Albie had a special keyhole procedure as one of his testicles hadn’t descended and was still in his abdomen.

They were both very well behaved and enjoyed their cuddles and post-operative snacks! 🤩🩷💙

Educational Monday: Splenic Tumours

Beautiful Bonnie visited us for a UTI (urine infection) a few weeks ago. During her general health examination as part of her appointment, Becky felt a growth in her abdomen. It was unrelated to her bladder signs, but we scanned her immediately to confirm the growth and that it was within her spleen.

Blood tests showed no other health concerns, so Bonnie was booked for surgery later that week and had her spleen removed. There is no way of knowing whether this growth is malignant or benign (with studies showing it is 50:50 for dogs), but all splenic growths are at risk of rupture which causes bleeding and possibly collapse if it happens unexpectedly.

We are waiting for Bonnie’s lab results to see what the growth was, but she has made a fantastic recovery from her surgery and we hope will have many happy years ahead of her now.

*UPDATE - Bonnie's results showed the growth was benign! Surgery should be curative for Bonnie, what a huge relief for us and her owners*
