Riley is one of our staff dogs who was in a few weeks ago presenting with coughing and sneezing after eating grass. We gave him a general anaesthetic and found a 16cm blade of grass stuck in his soft palate!!
He was given some antibiotics due to an infection the grass had caused and some anti inflammatories and is now feeling much better!

Bertie has completed his confidence clinics!! 🥳 He has been visiting the practice to grow his confidence and train using co-operative care on his mat.
He can now have a full health check and has done such a great job of being brave! (How could we not choose this photo of him looking like a silly Labrador!)

Bailey was in for a 6 month health check this week! He used to visit our confidence clinics, where he met our reception dog Hudson. Do you think they are happy to see each other again? 🥰

Royal Highland Show

A big well done to our vet Abbie and her Charolais heifer Rutherston Ugenie 🥳🤩🥳

They went Reserve overall for the breed and the Charolais Female Champion, Rutherston Ugenie, is a January 2023-born heifer from Abbie. Inter-breed champion at Angus Show earlier this month, Ugenie is a daughter of the 9500gns Balmyle Oscar, out of the Maerdy Grenadier-sired Rutherston Prosecco.

Super proud of them both 😍🥰

Puppy Vacinations

Why are puppy vaccinations important?
Vaccinations help to protect your puppy from severe life threatening infectious diseases. It also stops them from passing these dangerous infections onto other dogs. You should keep your puppy inside and away for unvaccinated dogs until it has been fully vaccinated.

How old should a puppy be before being vaccinated?
At eight weeks old – a puppy should have their first set of vaccinations (Primary). In certain cases we can vaccinate puppies as young as 6 weeks.
At 12 weeks old – a puppy’s second set of vaccinations are needed to boost their immune system.

How often should puppies be vaccinated after their first set of inoculations?
A puppy will needs a ‘booster’ vaccination 12 months after the his second vaccination and every year thereafter.

Which diseases do puppy vaccinations protect against?
Puppy inoculations are designed to give protection against
• Canine Distemper
• Canine Adenovirus
• Canine Parvovirus
• Leptospirosis

Kennel cough vaccinations
These can be administered separately or in conjunction with other dog vaccines. We recommend these vaccination if dogs are going into kennels or if they meet lots of other dogs in the park

Due to the current temperatures here is a reminder of the dangers of leaving dogs in a hot car🥵
On a warm day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast 🌡🚗 ‘Not long’ is too long. If you can’t take them with you when you leave the car - leave them safely at home. Heatstroke is a veterinary emergency. Symptoms include:

☀️Heavy panting
☀️Excessive salivation
☀️Rapid heart rate
☀️Bright red gums and tongue
☀️Weakness, confusion or collapse

If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, first call 999, then seek veterinary advice urgently.

Check out the update we got from Megan our vet nurse who was out volunteering in Sri Lanka.

Thank you everyone who donated to my charity raffle and fundraiser! When I arrived at WeCare they were so short staffed that instead of heading out for the neutering project, they wanted me to stay and work in the hospital which I was happy to do! As well as neutering patients, I helped with lots of critical patients, wounds, bandaging, lots of lab work and general care. The case load at the hospital was fully emergency based with a really long waiting list for some things to be seen because the hospital was full! I also had the chance to head out in the fully functioning ambulance to collect some patients, as well as go out in the Tuktuk to drop puppies off to new homes and street dogs back to their territory. I seen everything from bore attacks to snake bites! It was really tough work but really rewarding and I know all donations will really have made such a huge difference!
