We have had an alert that a case of equine influenza has been confirmed in Cumbria. We do not know the location, but equine influenza can spread at least two miles in the wind, so horses do not need to be in close contact in order to be at risk. Vaccination usually provides good protection, but if your horse or pony is not up-to-date with influenza vaccinations, please contact the practice if you would like advice.

🩸Happy World Blood Donor Day! This year’s theme is ‘give blood, give hope’, shining a light on the life-changing impact of blood donation and the incredible sense of community that comes from giving selflessly to help others.

Did you know...

There are 13.5 million dogs in the UK, but only 0.02% of them donate blood! For humans, it is 7% 😱

The dogs who donate blood make the biggest difference, but more donors are needed to ensure blood is always available for any dog that needs it.

Dogs giving blood means that:

🩸Sick and injured dogs receive the critical care they need
💉 Vets have fast access to lifesaving blood products
🐾Families are given more time with the pets they love
🌟Hope is restored, one wagging tail at a time

If your dog is between 1 and 8, weighs over 25kg, and is fit, healthy, and confident, please consider signing them up to join the lifesaving pack. Visit Pet Blood Bank’s website to find a donation session near you 👉www.petbloodbankuk.org/welcome

Please also share this post to help us raise awareness and save more lives ❤️
