🌟MEET THE TEAM - NURSE ALEXIA 🌟

With nurse Laura now off on maternity leave, nurse Alexia joins our team with strong passion for delivering compassionate, high-quality patient care. She particularly enjoys the intricacies of anaesthesia and loves being in theatre, as well as taking the time to build strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients and their pets.

At home, Alexia is kept busy by her two very pampered cats, Bobby and Bella. When not at the practice, she can be found planning her next holiday to somewhere warm and sunny, or catching up with friends at the local pub.

Welcome to our team!

Double celebrations for our nurse Laura today!

Today is Laura’s last day with us before she heads off on maternity leave. And, not only this, she found out yesterday that she passed her Postgraduate Certificate in Anaesthesia and Analgesia! 🎓

Achieving this qualification means Laura is officially an Advanced Veterinary Nurse. Her dedication to excellent patient care is outstanding, and we are so incredibly lucky to have her on our team.

We wish Laura a huge congratulations on her exam success and send all our love and best wishes as she prepares for her new arrival - we are so proud of her! ❤️

Meet Miss Marple! 🕵️‍♀️

This gorgeous Cavalier King Charles Spaniel visited us recently for her spay with vet Jess and nurse Leanne.

Before any procedure begins, every single patient receives a thorough, full health check by one of our vets to ensure they are completely ready and safe for surgery.

Once under anaesthesia, all our patients are monitored just as closely as a human in a hospital. Throughout her procedure, Marple was closely watched by nurse Leanne using advanced equipment to track multiple parameters, ensuring she remained safe and well under anaesthesia:

🐾 ECG monitoring to check the status of every heartbeat
🐾 Blood oxygen levels
🐾 Blood pressure
🐾 Body temperature
🐾 Auscultation (listening with a stethoscope) of the heart and lungs
🐾 Exhaled carbon dioxide level of every single breath if a breathing tube has been placed

Here at The Hadleigh Vets, all of these parameters are assessed for any patient who is sedated or anaesthetised, regardless of if they are in for a minor procedure or x-rays, or major surgery. We are very proud of our fantastic team and the equipment we have to ensure every procedure is conducted as safely as possible.

We have had a very special week celebrating two wonderful members of our team who are both getting ready to welcome new additions to their families!

With Laura heading off on maternity leave very soon and George preparing for paternity leave, we could not let them go without love and best wishes from our team, and a special gift basket for each of them packed with goodies for the parents-to-be.

Laura and George contribute so much care and warmth to the practice, our team and their patients every day. We are going to miss them immensely during their time away but are so excited for them to begin their new life chapters!

Please join us in wishing Laura and George the absolute best on their upcoming arrivals 🐣

(If you need any upcoming appointments with vet George, he ought to be with us for the next couple of weeks before having a few weeks off, so please give us a call or book online if your pet needs him before November!).

This is the lovely Maggie with our nurse Rebecca. Maggie came to see our team last week to be spayed via the laparoscopic (or keyhole) technique.

Neutering refers to a surgical procedure removing the reproductive organ(s) within the body, and a 'spay' is the female version of this where the ovaries are removed. Maggie had hers complete via the keyhole (laparoscopic) method, meaning it was completed using a camera and very delicate instrument via two tiny incisions.

This technique is suitable for the majority of female dogs over 5kg and has huge benefits:
🐾 Smaller incision and less pain - instead of a traditional larger incision, keyhole surgery uses tiny entry points, which means significantly less post-operative discomfort.
🐾 Faster recovery - dogs are back on their feet and back to normal exercise after 2-3 days, meaning less downtime for active and bouncy dogs like Maggie.
🐾 Precision and safety - our high-definition intra-abdominal camera gives our surgical team a clear, magnified view of the abdominal organs for exceptional accuracy

Maggie took the whole day in her stride and recovered really well. She is so beautiful! ❤️🐕

Handsome Freddie came to see Vet Jo last week for acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy. It involves using tiny, ultra-thin, sterile needles in specific points on a patient's body. These points stimulate the nervous system, boosting natural pain relief (endorphins) and increasing blood circulation to muscles and joints.

It can be used to help manage painful conditions (like arthritis, joint pain, or recovery after surgery) and can improve mobility.

Most pets find the sessions very relaxing, and it is common for patients to drift off to sleep during treatment. Freddie took his session completely in his stride and enjoyed all the fuss and attention!

If you feel your pet may need additional help with managing stiffness or mobility, give the practice a call or send us an email; our team can discuss if acupuncture or any other treatments may be beneficial.

Handsome Arthur recently popped in to see us for a free of charge Welcome Check with our Vet Jo.

We love encouraging new pets to come and visit us for the first time when they are feeling fit, happy, and well. A relaxed first visit allows us to conduct a full clinical health check in a stress-free environment, which means we can safely prescribe their routine flea and worming medication.

Most importantly, it ensures a pet's very first experience with our team isn't when they're feeling poorly or upset. By keeping things fun and low-pressure from day one, we help build a lifetime of happy, confident vet visits.

If you are a new client, new to the area or brought home a new pet, give us a call or visit our website to register and book your complimentary Welcome Check!

Last week, Luna the lovely Labrador came in to see Vet Jess feeling particularly poorly with an upset stomach and a loss of appetite.

To help determine the best path forward, Vet Jess performed in-house blood tests. Thankfully, the results ruled out more serious underlying conditions, but Luna still required dedicated supportive care to help her turn the corner.

She was admitted to our dog ward overnight to receive intravenous fluids and tailored medication to settle her stomach and keep her comfortable. Throughout her stay, Luna showed a huge amount of patience and gentleness with our clinical team. We were very pleased to be able to help her on her road to recovery.

Here she is enjoying the fresh air outside early in the morning!

Meet beautiful Betty - she came to see Vet Jess and the team last week for her Hip and Elbow Scores!

Hip and elbow scores are a diagnostic x-ray assessment used by vets and the Kennel Club. These x-rays are taken to assess any potential breeding dogs for any joint abnormalities like hip and elbow dysplasia, and recommended for particular breeds, such as Italian Spinones like Betty. After the primary vet takes these important images, the x-rays are assessed by an independent panel of experts at the British Veterinary Association.

We love to support responsible and ethical dog breeding, so were more than happy to conduct these assessments for Betty!
