๐Ÿพ Nobody wants an itchy cat... or fleas in the house! ๐Ÿ˜…

Regular flea and tick treatment is one of the simplest ways to keep your cat happy and healthy, and it can save a lot of hassle later on.

We have both monthly and 3-monthly spot-on treatments available, so if you need any advice, just have a chat with one of us. ๐Ÿ’™

Some patients really leave their mark on the team... and Buddy was definitely one of them. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’™

He came in for his castration, but between recovery cuddles, relaxing in the sunshine and making sure he didn't miss our lunchtime training session, he managed to win everyone over.

These little moments are some of our favourites. Watching nervous dogs relax, seeing their personalities come out and giving them all the fuss they deserve is one of the best parts of the job.

Hope you're recovering well at home, Buddy. We already miss you! โค๏ธ

We had to share this one...

Willow came in for her latest weigh-in recently and we couldn't believe the difference! ๐Ÿ‘

She started at 14.6kg and is now 12.85kg after just two months.

Doesn't she look amazing?

If your pet needs a little help getting to a healthier weight, pop in and have a chat with one of our nurses. Weight-loss journeys don't have to be scary, and we're here to support you both every step of the way. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿพ Don't wait, vaccinate! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’‰

Vaccinations are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your dog from serious, and in some cases life-threatening, diseases.

Our latest post takes a closer look at some of the diseases that routine vaccinations help protect against, including:
๐Ÿฆ  Parvovirus
๐Ÿฆ  Leptospirosis
๐Ÿฆ  Contagious Cough (Kennel Cough)
๐Ÿฆ  Distemper
๐Ÿฆ  Infectious Hepatitis

While some of these diseases are now less common thanks to widespread vaccination, they haven't disappeared. Unvaccinated dogs remain at risk, and many of these infections can spread quickly through contact with other dogs or contaminated environments.

Keeping your dog's vaccinations up to date not only protects them but also helps reduce the spread of disease within our local dog community.

If you're unsure when your dog's vaccinations are due, or you'd like to book an appointment, our friendly team will be happy to help. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™ Luna's Recovery ๐Ÿ’™

Following her bilateral a**l gland removal surgery, Luna spent some time recovering with us under the watchful eye of our veterinary and nursing team. ๐Ÿพ

From warm blankets and gentle monitoring to plenty of fuss and encouragement, we do everything we can to help our patients feel as comfortable as possible after their procedures.

One of the best signs after an anaesthetic is seeing a patient interested in food again, and Luna certainly didn't need asking twice! ๐Ÿฅฐ It was lovely to see her tucking into her dinner as she continued to recover.

She's continuing to make good progress, and we look forward to seeing her at her follow-up appointments as she heals.

Thank you to Luna's owners for allowing us to share a little of her recovery journey. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ”ฌ Behind the Scenes: Our Veterinary Laboratory ๐Ÿฉบ

Did you know that many of your pet's test results can be processed right here in our practice?

Our in-house laboratory allows us to carry out a wide range of diagnostic tests, helping our vets diagnose illness, monitor ongoing conditions and make treatment decisions much more quickly.

In this series, we're taking you behind the scenes to show some of the equipment we use every day, including:

๐Ÿฉธ Biochemistry โ€“ assessing organ function, blood glucose and electrolyte levels.
๐Ÿฉธ Haematology โ€“ a**lysing red and white blood cells to help detect infections, anaemia and other blood disorders.
๐Ÿงช Urinalysis โ€“ examining urine samples for signs of infection, kidney disease, diabetes and much more.
๐Ÿ”ฌ Microscopy โ€“ identifying parasites, bacteria, fungi, ear infections and other microscopic changes.
โšก EPOC โ€“ our newest a**lyser, providing results from just a tiny blood sample in minutes. This is especially helpful for very poorly patients, tiny patients and those requiring regular monitoring.

Having these diagnostics available in-house means less waiting, faster answers and, most importantly, the ability to begin the right treatment sooner when your pet needs it most.

We're proud to invest in modern equipment that helps us provide the best possible care for every patient who walks through our doors. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

โš ๏ธ Graphic image warning โ€“ This post contains photographs taken during surgery.
๐Ÿ’™ Meet Luna! ๐Ÿ’™
Luna recently visited us for an a**l gland removal procedure.

To ensure she received the very best care, we welcomed Lucie, one of our experienced veterinary surgeons from our Newcastle hospital, who joined our Darlington team to perform the surgery.

By working together across the Westway Veterinary Group, we're able to offer a wide range of advanced procedures at our branches, meaning many patients can receive specialist treatment in a familiar environment, surrounded by the team they already know and trust.

Luna was cared for every step of the way by our dedicated veterinary and nursing teams, from her anaesthetic through to her recovery, with continuous monitoring and tailored pain relief to keep her as comfortable as possible.

We're delighted to say Luna is doing well, and we wish her a continued smooth recovery. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Thank you to Luna's owners for allowing us to share her story.
