One of the BELL vet team was out on call and came across this very orderly line of cows. We think it might be the countryside commute, queuing traffic on the moo-torway?! 🐄🚗🐮 🚛What do you think they are queuing for?

It was a pleasure to attend the Lillico Country Store Equine Experts Evening and meet so many passionate horse enthusiasts. It was a lovely evening with great discussions and a real shared love of all things equine.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to the BELL team for giving up their time to support the event in such hot weather.☀️🐴

Well, this pretty much sums up the warmest May Bank Holiday weekend ever 😎🥵☀️
Please take care of yourselves and your horses in the heat: plenty of shade, water, and try to take it easy during the hottest parts of the day!

We are ready… ☀️🐴😆

Seriously though grooms. Take care in the heat today. Wear sunscreen, use a hat, drink all the water and stay in the shade where you can.

Thank you for working the bank holiday! 💙

May is not only Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, but also one of our busiest times of year! There are foals to care for, mares to organise for artificial insemination, as well as emergency and intensive care cases, alongside the countless routine tasks that the nursing team perform every single day.
Our nurses are central to patient care, client experience and clinical outcomes 24/7. The nursing team also supports our vets on the road and the wider team are very grateful for their professionalism!
Thank you for everything you do ! We hope you manage to enjoy a well-deserved rest over the bank holiday weekend!

EQUINE FLU UPDATE 🚨
Due to the increasing number of Equine Influenza cases being reported across the UK — including a rise in cases within Kent and the South East — we kindly ask all clients to help us protect our patients and the wider equine community by following our updated biosecurity measures.
🔹 ALL horses will have their temperature taken on arrival.
🔹 Please DO NOT unload your horse until you have registered with reception and a member of our team has advised you to do so.
🔹 Any horse with a temperature of 38.5°C or above, cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, or reduced appetite should be reported to us before travelling.
💉Horses that are unvaccinated against Equine Influenza will need to have their elective hospital appointment rearranged until they have completed at least the first two vaccinations of the primary course.

🔹 Horses need to be vaccinated within the last 6 months, if not they will require a booster vaccination prior to admission to the hospital

Equine Flu can affect both vaccinated and unvaccinated horses; however, unvaccinated horses are at significantly greater risk of developing more severe disease and complications.
In line with Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance recommendations, we encourage owners to:
✔ Keep vaccinations up to date
✔ Consider a booster vaccination if your horse has not been vaccinated within the last 6 months
✔ Avoid unnecessary mixing with other horses
✔ Isolate horses showing signs of illness
✔ Maintain good hygiene with equipment, clothing, and transport
✔ Stay informed with the latest updates
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and reduce the spread of Equine Influenza. 💙

Please be advised that we have had another influenza outbreak in North Kent. The affected yard is currently in quarantine. We strongly recommend ensuring equine flu vaccinations are up to date to reduce the risk of any spread.
