Donaldson's Vets

Donaldson's Vets Our Somerset Road 24-hour hospital opened in August 2019, replacing our Maple Street Surgery, Aspley.

Which had been the home of Donaldsonโ€™s Vets since the early 1960s

The Somerset Road clinic offers world-class facilities for patient care and has been designed with the comfort of both animal and owner in mind. With extensive car parking and a large comfortable Waiting Room, our friendly team of Vets, Nurses, and Receptionists are on hand to help

The 24-hour, 365 days a year clinic is the home t

o our Emergency Service, which is dedicated to providing round-the-clock care for Donaldsonโ€™s patients. A dedicated team of Vets and Nurses manage the most critically ill patients from across the Donaldsonโ€™s group in our Intensive Care Ward where each animal's temperature, ventilation, lighting, and oxygen concentration can be controlled. With separate cat and dog waiting areas, we strive to ensure that your pet's visit is as stress-free as possible. The separate cat and dog wards are specifically designed to ensure your pet's stay with us is as comfortable as possible. With a large prep room and 5 High Sterility Operating theatres with HEPA-filtered air supply, our facilities are suitable to carry out some of the most complex surgical procedures. A state-of-the art Diagnostic Imaging suite contains advanced digital X-ray and ultrasound equipment and a 64-slice human-grade CT scanner. The advanced diagnostic capabilities of the CT scanner are backed up by a visiting MRI scanner enabling complex brain and spinal imaging to be undertaken. Our on-site dental suite has equipment for descaling, polishing, or extracting your pet's teeth. A specialist dental X-ray machine allows us to accurately assess the roots of the teeth. Somerset Road is the base from which our Farm and Equine vets operate, and we have a dedicated area of the building for the care of small ruminants.

Dry eye affects approximately 1 in 22 dogs in the UK.

Certain breeds are more susceptibleโ€”does your dog belong to one of them?

The following breeds are particularly at risk:
- Pug
-Lhasa Apso
- English Bulldog
- West Highland White Terrier
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- English Cocker Spaniel
- English Springer Spaniel
- Miniature Schnauzer
- Toy Poodle
- Pekingese
- Shih Tzu

It's important to note that dry eye can affect any breed of dog, not just those listed above.

For breeds that are more prone to this condition, it's advisable to have your dog's eyes checked by a vet once or twice a year.

The earlier dry eye is diagnosed, the easier it is to manage successfully.

๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€PET EYE HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 15-21st SEPTEMBER๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

This important week encourages pet owners and veterinary professionals to be alert for signs of eye issues, such as runny or sticky eyes, squinting, light sensitivity, and changes in vision.

Due to their exaggerated facial features, pets suffer from eye problems more readily than other breeds. Recognising symptoms of poor eye health is important in any pet; eye tests can signal underlying health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure.
