Today we cared for a Leopard Gecko surrendered to our Exotic Rescue, Staffordshire Vets Exotic Rescue.

This little one had a retrobulbar abscess (behind the eye), likely caused by an insect bite.

Surgery on small exotic patients can be a real challenge, so we adapted an anaesthetic mask using a surgical glove to create a snug fit for this gecko.

To keep him safe throughout, we also used a Doppler monitor – this lets the whole team hear the heartbeat in real time, so even the tiniest changes can be spotted straight away.

It’s always a privilege to help our rescue patients – every species deserves the very best care.

Please see comments for photos 😊

Today we had the pleasure of looking after siblings Milly and Musky, who came in for their neutering at Staffordshire Vets. They stole everyone’s hearts while they were here – and as you can see, Milly is rocking one of our zebra-print body suits to keep her wound safe and stylish!

Whenever possible, our vets perform flank spays (on the side of the abdomen) rather than the traditional midline spay. This approach often means a smaller wound, easier monitoring, and less chance of wound interference – especially in active cats.

Neutering costs:
● Cat flank spay – £130
● Cat castration – £85

Both surgeries include two FREE post-op checks, so we can make sure healing is going smoothly and give you peace of mind. Please note: a pre-op vet check is always required to make sure your cat is fit and safe for anaesthesia.

To book your cat’s neutering, give us a call on 01782 438550.

Meet Louie!

This lovely boy came in for a dental procedure and ended up needing 10 teeth removed. As you can see from his before-and-after photos, his mouth is now so much healthier and more comfortable.

Dental disease is one of the most common problems we see in pets, and it can cause pain long before obvious signs show. Regular dental checks and cleaning can make a huge difference to their quality of life.

Louie was such a pleasure to spend the day with, I don't think his tail stopped wagging all day.

If you’d like to book your pet in for a dental check, give us a call on 01782 438550 – we’re happy to help.

Today we saw a beautiful young Dumeril’s boa for his microchip!

Did you know? Dumeril’s boas are a CITES-registered species, which means they must legally be microchipped to confirm their identity and help protect them from the illegal wildlife trade.

Microchipping snakes is a safe and straightforward procedure – and at just £20, it gives peace of mind as well as meeting legal requirements.

He was an absolute star patient.

A Colourful Visitor at Staffordshire Vets

Earlier this week we had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful Kakariki who came in for a nail trim. She was such a lovely little character!

Did you know?
🌿 Kakariki means “small parrot” in Māori, and these bright, active birds are native to New Zealand.
🌿 They’re curious, playful, and full of personality – a real joy to have as patients.

We offer bird nail clipping for £20 here at Staffordshire Vets – whether your feathered friend is a Kakariki, a Cockatiel, a Macaw, or anything in between.

Handsome Riley the Dalmatian came to see us after his owners noticed something wasn’t quite right with his flow. Thanks to their quick thinking, Riley was brought straight in to be checked – and that made all the difference.

Riley was sedated for an ultrasound scan, and a urinary catheter was placed. Fluid was gently passed into the bladder to give us a clearer picture. On the video, you’ll see a “snow globe” effect – this is swirling sediment inside the bladder.

Dalmatians are unfortunately predisposed to developing urinary crystals, which can sometimes lead to blockages or discomfort.

Signs to look out for in any dog include:
🐾 Straining or difficulty passing urine
🐾 Passing small amounts frequently
🐾 Blood in the urine
🐾 Licking at the ge***al area more than usual

If you notice any of these changes, it’s always best to get your pet checked promptly – just like Riley’s owners did.

Today outside the vets, a lovely lady stopped me and said:
“Because of you and your low prices we are able to keep our cat alive. I don’t know what we would have done otherwise.” 💙

Moments like this remind us exactly why Staffordshire Vets was created — to provide low-cost, high-quality veterinary care for the pets that mean the world to you.

Affordable care. Compassionate service. Healthy, happy pets. 🐾

That’s our mission, and hearing stories like this makes it all worthwhile.

We’ve had a glow-up! ⭐️⭐️

As well as our roof being finished and the scaffolding coming down, Staffordshire Vets has a brand new look – our shiny new signage is up at last!

From cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, and more, our sign shows off the variety of pets we’re proud to care for.

It’s fun, it’s bright, and it makes us smile every time we see it.
