🐱 What a difference a little surgery can make! 👁️✨

This gorgeous cat came in today with a poorly eye caused by a condition called symblepharon, where the conjunctiva becomes abnormally attached.

Paisley carefully removed the affected conjunctiva, and just look at the before and after photos! 😍

A fantastic transformation and another happy patient on the road to recovery. 💕🐾

😿😿 FOUND CAT 😿😿

We've had this handsome man brought in to us from Riddings. He's male and neutered but has no chip and no collar. It's urgent that we find his owner as soon as possible as this boy needs treatment. He's undergoing emergency care currently but we need to reunite him as soon as possible.

Please call 01773832218 if you know anything about him.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who shared this post. Sadly no one claimed her from us and so we had no choice but to call the dog warden. She was collected this evening so if anyone believes this dog is theirs they can get in touch with the warden to organise collection.

‼️PLEASE SHARE - STRAY FOUND‼️

We’ve unfortunately had a stray dog handed into us this afternoon, has been scanned but no microchip! She was found at Cromford Meadows.

🐶 Female
🐶 Staffordshire bull terrier
🐶 Approximately 2-4 years old
🐶 Friendly but very nervous!

She is currently safe in the practice with us but if we cannot find the owner she may have to go to the dog warden!

Please help us reunite her 🙏🏼

🐾 Oscar’s incredible story ❤️

Meet Oscar, an 11-year-old Staffie whose owners noticed that his belly was gradually getting bigger and that he was slowing down a little.

Thankfully, they trusted their instincts and brought him in for investigation. Our team discovered that Oscar had a huge splenic tumour — something that can easily go unnoticed until it becomes very large.

Oscar underwent surgery to remove his spleen and the tumour, and we’re absolutely delighted to share some fantastic news… 🥳

🔬 The tumour was a leiomyoma, a benign tumour — meaning the news couldn’t have been much better!

Oscar has done amazingly well and is now on the road to getting back to his old self. ❤️🐶

His story is a great reminder that subtle changes in an older pet — a bigger tummy, slowing down, changes in appetite or behaviour — are always worth getting checked.

We’re so pleased for Oscar and his family. What a superstar! 🌟🐾

🐾 Meet the newest member of the team! 🐾

This week, our partner Paisley welcomed a beautiful new addition to her family – everyone say hello to Lily! 💕

Lily is a gorgeous 9-week-old Labrador who’s already settling into vet life. She’s been keeping everyone on their toes and, true to puppy form, has already discovered that chewing things she shouldn’t is great fun! 😅🐶

We can’t wait to watch Lily grow up and share more of her adventures with you. Welcome to the family, Lily! ❤️🐾

They were absolute stars today. Wishing Dave and Tiger lots of happy, safe adventures ahead! ❤️🐾
