Earlier in the week was black cat appreciation day! 🐈‍⬛

Black cats are best known for their loyalty, playfulness and mischievous personalities.🐾
Among many cultures, black cats are also believed to bring good fortune. 🥠

Unfortunately, black cats are over represented in a shelter setting and often overlooked for adoption! 😢
If you’re looking for a new feline companion, always consider adopting from a reputable rescue centre. 🖤

If you have a black cat, please show them off in the comments! 📸

It has been an emotional week at etwall and beech vets this week. We have sadly said farewell to two incredible team members. 🏆

Laura, our head nurse, is making a big change and moving to greener pastures in New Zealand, where she will continue nursing! 🇳🇿 🩺

Sophie, one of our nurses, is moving into referral work to advance her knowledge of neurology and orthopaedics! 🧠🦴

They have both been such great assets to our team and we really are sorry to see them go. 💔
But, we know any team will be so lucky to have them and wish them both the best of luck in their next adventures. 🍀

We will soon be introducing you to our two new nurses and also our head nurse and senior nurse, so keep posted! 👀

Today is guinea pig appreciation day! 🐾

Guinea pigs are increasingly common household pets. There is a common misconception like with other small mammals that they are easy children’s pets.
However, guinea pigs need lots of space, particular diets and regular weigh ins and health checks. ⚖️

The link below is a great resource for people wanting to research before getting a guinea pig, or even for current guinea pig owners! 📖

Who says conscious procedures have to be stressful? 🐈‍⬛

Harry came in today for a fresh new look as he was matted and struggling to keep cool in this hot weather! ☀️

All Harry needed to get through his haircut was an anti-anxiety oral sedative and a few lick-e-lix. 💊

Cats can get matts for many reasons, struggling to keep up with long hair, stress, skin conditions, oil buildup or even reduced grooming commonly due to age and mobility or weight. ⚖️
