💚 💚 💚

As we near the end of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, we thought we’d go out with a bang 💥

A MASSIVE congratulations is in order for our very own Anastazja, who passed her final practical exam and has officially become a Registered Veterinary Nurse 👏🏻

She has spent the last two and a half years training for this moment, working hard to achieve this lifelong goal, and all of us here at Parkside Vets couldn’t be more proud of her! 💚

Who doesn’t love corn on the cob! It’s a summer staple on BBQs.

Sadly corn on the cob isnt safe for dogs. While the corn kernels are perfectly ok, the hard, indigestible cob frequently causes life-threatening intestinal blockages that often require emergency surgery.

Never let your dog chew on or ingest a corn cob.

🐈‍⬛ Is your cat microchipped? 🐈

Microchipping gives your cat the best chance of being reunited with you if they ever go missing. Even indoor cats can slip out unexpectedly, and collars can easily come off.

Sadly, we have had occasions where deceased cats have been brought into the practice with no microchip, meaning we were unable to identify them or contact their owners. This can be heartbreaking for everyone involved.

A microchip is quick to place, safe, and provides permanent identification that can help bring answers and closure when it matters most.

Please also remember to keep your contact details updated on the microchip database if you move house or change phone number.

If you would like to book your cat in for microchipping or have any questions, please contact the practice 🐾

Here is a picture of SVN Erinn’s cats who were both microchipped whilst they were under general anaesthetic for their neutering procedures 🐈

PLEASE DONT LEAVE DOGS IN CARS

EVERY year we see dogs with heatstroke many of whom have been left in cars. It’s easy to think you won’t be long or the car is in shade or it’s cloudy - cars heat up QUICKLY - even in Scotland!

Don’t take the risk!

We had a tiny baby mouse handed into today by a lovely caring young lady.

RVN Lisa has taken him home to care for him and we so hope he pulls through.

Lots of young Roe fawns around just now, their mothers leave them in deep grass to go and forage.

Their mothers are typically close by and the fawns know to stay quiet and still.

Please make sure dogs are kept close at heel or on leads at this time of year as there are many vulnerable youngsters hidden from sight.
