Shirebrook Vets

🚨🐾 PLEASE SHARE 🐾🚨
We have had a black cat handed into the practice after being found on the farm behind the Garden Centre in Shirebrook.

The cat has a noticeable limp and will require veterinary treatment 🩺💙

They are wearing an orange collar with the words "Do Not Feed Me", so we know this lovely kitty is loved and belongs to someone somewhere 🧡🐱

Unfortunately, they do not have a microchip, which means we have no way of contacting their owner directly.

Please could we ask everyone to share this post so we can help reunite this cat with their family and ensure they receive the care they need 🐾💙

📞 If you think this may be your cat, please contact the practice directly.

Call now to connect with business.

Sometimes the simplest moments are the sweetest 🐾✨

This adorable little Scottish Fold is Molly 🐱✨ who recently came in for her spay procedure with Vet Yas, while being carefully monitored by Nurse Weronika 🩺💙
And can we just take a moment for Molly’s big beautiful eyes 👀🥹 — she genuinely looked like a tiny little owl watching over the prep room 🦉💙

Molly’s owners also chose to have pre-operative blood tests and intravenous fluids as part of her procedure ✨
💡 We offer these additional options for all pets undergoing anaesthetic — not just elderly patients 🐾

🩸 Pre-op bloods help us check important things like liver function, kidney health, blood sugar levels, and hydration before anaesthesia, allowing us to spot any hidden concerns that may not yet be showing symptoms.

💧 Intravenous fluids help support blood pressure, maintain hydration, and protect vital organs during surgery and recovery, making them a fantastic additional layer of support 💙

While healthy young pets usually do very well under anaesthetic, these extras can provide additional reassurance and help us tailor care specifically to your pet 🐱✨

Molly was an absolute superstar ⭐ and recovered beautifully with lots of love and cuddles from the team 🥰🐾

🚨🐾 REUNITED WITH OWNER - THANKS FOR HELPING! 🐾🚨
We have had a black Labrador brought into us by a member of the public after being found running on the main road outside Stubbin Wood ⚠️🐶

He is safely with us at the practice 💙

He is microchipped, however at this time we have unfortunately been unable to make contact with his owners.

Please could we ask everyone to share this post far and wide in the hope we can reunite him with his family as soon as possible 🐾💙

📞 If you think this may be your dog, please contact the practice directly.

🐾💙 If in doubt…hide it out! 💙🐾
Well, that’s certainly little Maggie’s motto 😄🐱✨

Maggie came in recently for a weight check and was the puuurfect gentleman while sitting beautifully on the cat scales ⚖️💙…but it wasn’t long before he decided the best place to be was tucked safely behind the PC 🖥️😹

Cats naturally love to feel safe, warm, and secure, especially in unfamiliar environments, so finding a cosy hiding spot can really help them feel more comfortable 🐾✨

☀️🐾 A little warm weather reminder from the team 🐾☀️

With temperatures rising, we know travelling with pets can sometimes feel a little worrying — especially for brachycephalic breeds, older pets, nervous pets, and small furries 💙

Please remember that if you have a routine appointment booked and are concerned about bringing your pet out in the heat, give us a call and we will always do our best to help 🌡️🐶🐱

✨ Where possible, we may be able to:
🐾 Move your appointment to a cooler part of the day
🐾 Offer alternative times
🐾 Help make your visit as comfortable as possible for your pet

🚨 Heatstroke is a medical emergency and can happen much quicker than people realise — even on days that may not feel “that hot” to us.

💧 Keep pets cool, provide plenty of fresh water, avoid walking during peak temperatures, and never leave pets in vehicles.

As always, if you are worried about your pet, please contact the team 🩺💙🐾
