⚠️ Graphic Image Warning ⚠️

🐾💙 Meet Lily 💙🐾

Lily became a familiar face with our nursing team after undergoing surgery to remove a large mammary mass.

Unfortunately, her healing journey wasn’t completely straightforward and she required some additional wound care, regular check-ups and lots of support while everything healed 🩺

Our nurses worked closely with Lily and her owner throughout her recovery, helping monitor the wound and ensuring she stayed comfortable every step of the way 💙

These photos show the incredible healing progression over time, from the initial complications through to a beautifully healed result ✨

We’re so pleased to see Lily now doing brilliantly and back to her happy self 🐶

A huge well done to Lily for being such a superstar patient throughout all of her visits 🥹

🐾 National Microchipping Month 🐾

Did you know it is a legal requirement for dogs and cats to be microchipped with up-to-date contact details? 💙

A microchip is one of the simplest ways to help your pet find their way back home if they ever become lost. However, the chip only works if your details are correct 📱🏡

Have you:
✔️ Changed phone number?
✔️ Moved house?
✔️ Changed ownership details?

If so, it may be time to update your pet’s microchip information!

We can also help check if your pet’s chip is working correctly and discuss booking appointments for pets who still need to be microchipped 🐶🐱

Please contact the practice if you would like any advice or assistance regarding your pet’s microchip 💙

🐾💚 Veterinary Nurse Appreciation Month 💚🐾

Part 4 of 4️⃣

Veterinary nursing is a career full of opportunity, growth and variety. From clinical nursing and specialist referrals, to teaching, leadership, research and rehabilitation, the profession offers so many different pathways. 🌟

Veterinary nurses continue to develop throughout their careers, gaining additional qualifications, exploring specialist interests and taking on roles that help shape the future of animal care.

Whether working in practice, supporting students, leading teams or advancing patient care through further study, veterinary nurses play an essential role across the profession every single day. 🐶🐱🐰

As we finish our Veterinary Nurse Appreciation Month series, we want to say a huge thank you to every veterinary nurse and student nurse for the compassion, knowledge and dedication you bring to your patients, clients and teams. 💚

🐦💙 Wildlife — We’re Here To Help 💙🐦

If you ever come across an injured or unwell wild animal, please don’t hesitate to give us a call for advice ☎️

Our team can provide initial medical care for wildlife where needed, and we also work closely with local wildlife charities and rehabilitators to help ensure animals receive the ongoing care and rehabilitation they need 🦔🕊️

It’s always best to contact a veterinary practice or wildlife rescue before attempting to intervene yourself, as some animals may simply be stunned, nesting nearby or require specialist handling.

Thank you to our lovely team for always helping care for wildlife patients that come through our doors 💙

☀️🐾 It’s warming up! 🐾☀️

As the weather starts getting warmer, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs of overheating and heatstroke in pets 🌡️

Heatstroke can become very serious very quickly, especially in:
🐶 Flat-faced breeds
🐾 Older pets
⚖️ Overweight pets
🖤 Pets with thick or dark coats

Some simple ways to help keep your pets safe in warmer weather:
💧 Always provide fresh water
🌳 Keep walks to cooler parts of the day
🚗 Never leave pets in cars
🧊 Provide cool shaded areas to rest

If your pet is showing any of the warning signs listed above, please contact a veterinary practice as soon as possible ☎️

A little extra care in warmer weather can make a huge difference 💙

🐢💚 World Tortoise Day 💚🐢

Today we’re celebrating these slow-moving but fascinating little creatures! 🌿

Tortoises can make wonderful pets, but they do require very specific care to stay healthy and thrive 🐢✨

Some important things to remember about tortoise care:
🌞 Proper heating and UVB lighting are essential
🥬 A balanced diet is very important
🏡 They need plenty of safe space to explore
⚖️ Regular weight checks can help monitor health

Tortoises are long-term companions and can live for many years with the right care 💚
