We are aware of a few videos circulating social media at the moment regarding ibuprofen ingestion in dogs.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used in people for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with aches and pains, headache, cramps and for the relief of mild fever.

Ibuprofen is a very widely available over-the-counter painkiller. Although well tolerated in people, dogs are very sensitive to ibuprofen and ingestion of even a relatively low dose can cause adverse effects on the gut and the kidneys. A very large overdose can even cause very rapid onset features including convulsions.

☎️Owners can call Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 if they are concerned about their pet.

We do not recommend the administration of any human medications without prior consultation with your veterinary surgeon.

💬 True or False? Veterinary nurses just cuddle the animals and clean kennels?

❌ FALSE! ❌ While they do offer comfort and care (and yes, the occasional cuddle!), vet nurses are qualified clinical professionals who are essential to the running of every veterinary practice.

Their role includes:
✔ Monitoring anaesthesia
✔ Assisting in surgery
✔ Running diagnostic tests
✔ Administering treatments
✔ Educating pet owners

This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, let’s celebrate the real work our amazing vet nurses do every day! 💚

How lovely, Toad, we're so glad you've found your forever home with Sally 🥰

Meet Toad – from garden stray to pampered lap cat 🐾💙

Toad was brought into our practice after spending 4 years living as a stray in someone’s garden. He arrived severely underweight (just 3.2kg) and suffering with respiratory issues.

After a full examination and blood tests, we discovered Toad is FIV positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) – a condition that means he’ll need to stay indoors or in a secure garden, and be closely monitored for any illnesses due to his compromised immune system.

But Toad’s story has a very happy ending 💫 He was quickly fostered by Sally, one of our amazing RVNs, who works alongside Cats Protection League. It didn’t take long for everyone to realise he’d already found his forever home – and Sally officially adopted him! 🐱💕

Toad is now a healthy 5kg, his respiratory issues are well managed, and he’s living the dream as a very happy (and very loved) lap cat. 🛋️💖
