Meet Martha 🐀🤍

Martha visited the Skipton Practice for surgical removal of a mass and returned 5 days later for her post-operative check with our veterinary nurse, Charlotte.

We were delighted with how well she was recovering. She was bright, comfortable, and healing beautifully ✨

It’s always rewarding to see our small patients doing so well after surgery, and Martha certainly made the team smile during her revisit 🧀💖

Double the whiskers, double the cuteness! 🐱🐱

These lovely cats visited us to be neutered and microchipped. They were such a pleasure to care for, and we couldn’t stop admiring how gorgeous they are! 💙🩷

Feeling the heat? Your pets are too! Follow Teds top tips to help keep them cool 😎 ☀️

🐾Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower. Even a short walk in the heat can put your dog at risk.

🐾 Make sure your pet has access to plenty of shade and cool areas indoors where possible.

🐾 Keep fresh, clean drinking water available at all times.

🐾 Consider bringing small animals indoors or moving them to a cooler, shaded area if they are usually kept outside.

🐾 Limit exercise and play during the hottest parts of the day.

🐾 Avoid unnecessary car journeys with your pet, and never leave them unattended in a vehicle, even for a short time.

🚨 Remember: WET THEN VET 🚨

If you think your pet may be suffering from heatstroke or overheating, immediately soak them with cool water and contact your vet as soon as possible.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! ☀️🐾

Small changes make big progress! 🤩

Mollie sadly injured her leg in February, and was diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament in March and had a surgical correction. She has been having rehab with our in house veterinary physiotherapist Steph.

At her 8 week check Millie was doing great - but it was time to start work on improving her sitting posture. As you can see from the first picture Millie was tucking her injured leg right under her body and skewing onto her hip - a REALLY common compensation to avoid fully flexing the stifle (knee).

After just a couple of repetitions with treats in the right places - Mollie was sitting much straighter - but was still keeping her injured leg much further forward, so still avoiding using the full range of her stifle.

Steph then asked Millie’s owner to switch sides…this changes how Mollie can shift her body weight around, meaning it’s more difficult for her to ‘cheat’ at the exercise - so the leg is more neatly folded.

We look for progress before perfection - after 8 weeks and a major surgery we would not expect Mollie to able to instantly do a perfect sit, but a little progress will build towards a fully functional future.

Fletcher kindly posed to show what Mollie should be aiming for! 😀

Meet Peaches 🤍🐓

Peaches is a Pekin Bantam & had a visit to see Bianca after she was diagnosed with gapeworm.

Grapeworm is a parasitic worm that lives in a chicken’s windpipe and can make breathing difficult. It can cause gaping, coughing, wheezing, and stretching of the neck, and can be serious if left untreated.

Chickens usually pick it up from contaminated ground or by eating things like earthworms, slugs, or snails.

Thankfully, Peaches was treated with wormer and is already feeling much better 🤍

A kind member of the public brought in a deceased neutered male white and ginger cat, as a result of a road traffic accident in the early hours of the day, around the Glusburn area. He is not microchipped. If you think might be yours, please ring our Glusburn branch 01535632608
