This month, we celebrate the compassionate, skilled, and dedicated veterinary nurses who work tirelessly to care for our beloved pets. From assisting in surgeries to comforting animals and educating pet parents, their role is absolutely vital in every veterinary team.

Let’s show our appreciation for these unsung heroes who help keep our pets healthy and happy.

Look out for our posts this month about our fabulous team of Nurses 🐾

Thank you, Veterinary Nurses, for all that you do!

🌍🐾 Committed to Reducing Antibiotic Use 🐾🌍
The World Health Organisation predicts antibiotic resistance could lead to 10 million deaths by 2050. At Tilehurst Veterinary Centre, we’re proud to play our part in preventing this global health crisis. 💊❌
Over the past 6 months, our dedicated vet team has made significant changes in reducing antibiotic use:
📉 5% of consultations in August 2024 → 2.5% in March 2025 had antibiotics prescribed
🔻 Reduced high-priority topical antibiotic use from 2% to 0.5%
Here’s how we’ve achieved this: ✔️ Regular audits and reviews of our cleaning protocols ✔️ More microscope checks to identify bacteria in infections ✔️ Increased use of topical treatments for wounds ✔️ Tailored antibiotic prescriptions—lower doses, shorter courses
We’re committed to helping protect your pets and the future of our planet. Thank you for trusting us with their care! 🐕🐈💚

☀️ The weather is heating up this week, so please be mindful of your pets. We have some hot weather advice to help ☀️

☀️ Make sure pets have cool shaded areas to relax in.
☀️ Make sure there is plenty of fresh cool water available.
☀️ Keep your house cool
☀️ Never leave your dog in a hot car. It can take as little as 15 minutes for a dog to die in a hot car.
☀️ Always have water with you when you take your dog out.
☀️ Walk your dogs when it is cooler - either early in the morning or later in the evening.
☀️ Be aware that pavements can become extremely hot and burn dogs paws.

This is the lovely Dora, who came in to see us recently for her post operation check after her dental procedure. She is doing really well.

She was the first patient to try out our new consultation room after our recent building work.

🐣Around Easter, we are bombarded with cute photos of fluffy bunnies and bright yellow chicks.

If your children are reaching an age where they might be able to look after a pet, this could be the push you need to make their dreams come true and bring home a bunny of their own, but is that really a good idea? 🐇

🍫Did you know that chocolate is poisonous to dogs and cats? 🦮🐈

The poison itself takes between 4 and 24 hours to cause signs which include:

🏥 Muscle stiffness
