🐾🐶 Patient Spotlight: Keano the Dalmatian! 🐶🐾

Keano popped in today for his booster 💉 but his lovely owner also asked us to check a cut on his ear 👂✨ He was bright as a button in the consult (and a total gentleman 😎) – no concerns on examination, heart & lungs all sounding great ❤️🫁

The cut happened about a week ago, and Keano’s owner has been bathing it with salt water 🧂💧. While the wound looks nice and clean with no signs of infection, a little bit of fresh bleeding was still present – likely because Keano has been giving his head a good shake every now and then! 🌀😂

🩺 What we advised:
✔️ Wound should heal on its own
✔️ Stop the salt water bathing now, as it may be removing the scab and slowing healing 🚫🧂
✔️ Try to stop him from fussing with it at home (we know… easier said than done! 🤦‍♀️🐶)
✔️ Bandaging is an option if needed
✔️ Keep an eye out for any signs of infection and let us know if anything changes 🌡️

Keano was such a good boy and definitely deserved all the fuss and treats today 🐾💙 If your pet has a wound you’re worried about, we’re always happy to help – just give us a call! ☎️

🐾👑 Say a big hello to Simba the ginger tom! 😻🦁

Simba came in today for his routine castration and microchipping – and just like the real Lion King, he handled it like royalty! 😂💪 After his procedure, he decided the best part of recovery was… playing with our receptionist Stacey! 🎉🤸‍♂️ Clearly no worries for the rest of his days – Hakuna Matata! 🌞✨

But the tale doesn’t end there! Stay tuned to find out how Simba even convinced his next-door neighbour to join him for a mini play session after her stay with us on the very same day… 👀🐾 This little king knows how to make friends! 👑

🧤❄️ Happy National Mitten Tree Day!
Just like mittens keep us warm, our pets need a little extra love and care this winter! 🐶🐱 Cozy beds, warm coats, and paw protection can make a HUGE difference for our furry friends during the chilly months. ❄️❤️

Let’s spread warmth this Christmas season by donating old usable toys, blankets, or beds to a shelter 🐾, or even popping over to The Natural Dog Co and using their donation bank. 🐕🎁 Because every little bit of warmth counts! 💛✨

Look at this distinguished model man striking his best pose at his family photoshoot! 💫✨ This special shoot was to welcome his new baby brother Riley, but his parents wanted their first baby, Peanut, to know he’s still their baby too. ❤️🐾 From the serious stare to the perfectly tilted head, Peanut is serving all the model vibes.📸

Who else’s furry friend rocks the camera like a pro? Whether it’s a casual family snap, a professional photoshoot, or even their celebrity moment on TV or social media, we’d love to see it! 🌟🐕 Share your paw-some pics in the comments and let’s celebrate all our four-legged stars! ✨🐾

🌍🦊 Happy Wildlife Conservation Day from Shirebrook Vets! 🐿️🦉
Today we’re celebrating all the wild neighbours we’re lucky enough to share the planet with — from cheeky foxes in your garden 🦊🌿 to hedgehogs who stroll across your lawn like they own the place 🦔✨

And did you hear? Scotland recently had a fairytale moment — a rare white stag was spotted at Loch of the Lowes! ✨🦌🧚 This magical beauty wasn’t an albino, but likely leucistic — giving it that stunning pale coat while keeping normal eyes. Truly a creature straight out of folklore! ✨🌙

At Shirebrook Vets, we LOVE our British wildlife… even the pigeons who dance around our practice like they’re auditioning for a West End musical. 😂🐦💃

Here’s how you can help our wild friends thrive:
🌱 Leave a wild corner in your garden — wildlife LOVES a good mess.
💧 Pop out a shallow water dish — hydration matters, even for hedgehogs.
🚗 Always check before mowing or driving — hedgehogs and deer can be tiny ninjas.
🍽️ Avoid feeding bread — our wildlife deserves better snacks!
🐾 If you find an injured wild animal, get in touch with a local rescue.

Let’s keep our countryside magical — from dancing pigeons to mystical white deer roaming the Highlands ✨🦌💚

🌿💚 Happy Wildlife Conservation Day!

😸⚡️ Loki — the God of Mischief! ⚡️😸
Meet the handsome Loki! 💚 Although his name might suggest he’s the God of Mischief, he was an absolute angel when he came to visit us for his castration 💉🐾

He was busy making biscuits like the Norse god of food Andhrímnir 🍞, purring louder than Thor’s thunder ⚡️🐱, and showering all our nurses with love just like Freyja, the Norse goddess who adored cats! 💕 His mum tells us he’s a bit of a live wire at home… so maybe his true mischief is deception! 😼

🪶 Fun Norse fact! Did you know the goddess Freyja rode in a chariot pulled by two giant cats? 🐈🐈‍⬛ Cats were seen as magical and sacred in Norse mythology — so Loki is clearly living up to his divine heritage! 😻

💚 We loved having you in, Loki — our very own little Norse legend! 💚

🐾🎉 Happy National Mutt Day! 🎉🐾
Today we’re giving a BIG shoutout to all the scruffy, mixed-up, lovable mutts out there! 🐶❤️ Whether they’ve got a bit of everything in them or are full-on mystery mixes, mutts are proof that the best things come in unexpected packages! 🎁✨

Why we LOVE mutts:
🐕‍🦺 Unique personalities – no two mutts are the same!
😂 Endless entertainment – that silly tail wag, that funny bark… priceless!
💖 Big hearts – they love you harder than a double scoop of ice cream on a hot day! 🍦

So today, whether your fur baby is purebred or a magnificent mix, give them an extra cuddle, some treats, and a belly rub (or three 😉). And if you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, consider a mutt from a rescue—they’re guaranteed to steal your heart! 💘🐶

Fun Fact: Mutts can be healthier than purebreds 🏥💪 thanks to their diverse genes, making them the ultimate tough cookie (or should we say, tough pupper?). 🍪🐾Share a pic of your mutt in the comments and let’s see those adorable, goofy, lovable faces! 🐾💛

📸 Speaking of lovable mutts, meet Louie the Jackuah! 🐶🎉 A hilarious mix of Jack Russell and Chihuahua, Louie is full of energy, personality, and of course, endless cuteness. Just goes to show—every mutt has their own special sparkle! ✨

🌞💛 Hello Monday — and an even bigger hello to beautiful Alma! 💛🌞

This gorgeous girl recently popped in for her claw clip with our lovely head nurse Aimee 💅🐾 Alma absolutely loved her little pamper session and couldn’t resist strutting her stuff around the back, showing off her model behaviour and perfect paws! 😍🐩✨

What a superstar patient and such a lovely way to start our week! 💕

📖✨ Story time for little Patch! ✨📖
This adorable ball of mischief 🐾 Patch recently found himself in quite a bit of bother! 🙈 Luckily, his quick-thinking owners acted fast and brought him straight in for an emergency appointment 🏥

Poor Patch had broken his leg at just 11 weeks old 😢 — but thanks to our specialist David Strong (ROAR-Surgical Ltd), his leg was saved with a clever surgery rather than needing amputation 🙌💪

🩻 After some impressive orthopaedic wizardry (including a 7-hole locking plate and precise bone repair 🔩🦴), Patch is now recovering beautifully! After being on crate rest (with plenty of cuddles, of course 🥰) he’s been back for his post-op X-rays, and everything’s healing just as it should 💕

We’re so proud of you, Patch — our little superhero pup! 💫🐶
