Update: sadly George was too poorly and went over the rainbow bridge today.

Urgent request from one of my friends. If anyone can help please get in touch urgently.

Hi Dee
Odd and urgent request that I don't know if you can help with?
I took George into Castle Vets last night and he is severely anemic. He needs a blood transfusion - do you know of any local cat owners that might be willing and able to help? The cat needs to be blood type A, aged between 1 and 10, ideally 6-7 kilos and fully vaccinated (full criteria below - a screenshot from the pet bloodbank)
If we can't find a donor, we will have no choice but to have him put to sleep as he is a very poorly boy. 😿
Any help much appreciated. ###

Under the new laws for veterinary medicines (effective 17th May 2024):
All written prescriptions will need to contain the words “It is an offence under the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 for a person to alter a written prescription unless authorised to do so by the person who signed it”.
This means that if Little Flossie comes in to Country Lane Cat Hotel with prescription drugs but her owner states that she's only giving Flossie a 2kg dose (instead of the 3kg one on the prescription) or only giving the tablets in the morning (and the label says am + pm) . . . then we have to go by the printed vet label. So please check that any medication you bring in for your cat has an up to date label that reflects how/when/what medication your cat should be given in the cattery, which may mean you having to take the animal for a vet consultation and get a new prescription BEFORE coming into the cattery.

I will no longer be able to accept those little pills in a plastic packet with no vet label, or human drugs, such as anti-histamines being given to pets. It is now a criminal offence to recommend, advise, or suggest that the client buy the human products for administering to their animal.

The last year has been a bit of a regulatory rollercoaster for anyone involved in the veterinary world. In 2023 we had the new Under Care regulations from the RCVS (our regulator), changing a lot of the details about how and when we are permitted to prescribe. Then we had the CMA report. And now [.....

From 10 June 2024 cats over 20 weeks old must be and registered on a compliant database 📆

By microchipping their cats, owners can increase the likelihood that they will be reunited with their beloved pet in the event that they go missing.

Rest in peace beautiful (inside and out) Marcie. I will miss your softest of fur and kind sweet nature.
