Do you know that it’s ‘National Hug Your Cat Day’ today? 😺

Whilst it may be an unofficial holiday, it does give any extra excuse you need to pamper your feline friends 😻

Now not all cats are quite as cuddly as Panka here, who clearly adores her mum as much as she does her 🥰
you can still celebrate the day by providing them with some scrumptious treats, buying them a new toy, spending more time playing together, or getting your brushes out to give them a head to tail lovely groom 😌

Whatever you and your cats get up to today we hope you have a purrfect time together 😹

This is Gus 🐶 who came in to see us for his weigh and worm appointment 🪱

He has been coming in to see us since he was an adorable little puppy when he had his first vaccinations 💉

We love seeing puppies grow and getting to know their personalities as they mature, with the added bonus of also building a bond with them, and their owners 🥰

The monthly visits for the weigh and worm check ups, whilst very important for health care, they also benefit the puppies hugely during their socialisation period, cementing the fact that the vets is not a scary place and it is somewhere they get lots of fuss, cuddles and reinforces safe handling for all 😁

We look forward to seeing Gus grow even more, and watch him turn into the most handsomest boy we just know he will become 😍

This is Nova 🐰 who came in to see us for her 1st vaccination 💉

She was good as gold, and we’re sure you’ll agree is super cute and absolutely gorgeous ☺️ 😍

Although vaccinating rabbits isn’t as common as it is for dogs and cats, it’s still really important!!

We vaccinate rabbits against 2 common diseases

1. Myxomatosis

2. ⁠Rabbit Haemorrhagic disease

Both these diseases are found in the uk wild rabbit population, and it can effect our pet rabbits also 🐇

The myxomatosis virus can by transmitted by fleas, flies, mites etc after biting an infected animal then biting your rabbit🦠

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease can be spread by direct contact from an infected animal, by bodily fluids, environmental contamination and by fomite indirect transmission, such as birds, insects, rodents carrying the disease into your rabbits living areas 🦠

Both diseases are highly contagious, cause serious symptoms, and they can be life threatening!

If you would like more info on vaccines for bunnies, or any general health care, please contact the surgery on 01706 656559 ☎️

I’m sure, like us, everyone is loving the incredible sunshine that has graced us over the last week 🌞

However, we MUST remember the dangers this brings for our animals!⚠️

Dogs in particular have a high susceptibility to heatstroke, the results of which can be extremely dangerous - potentially a cause of death even!
Therefore it is vital that we take steps to avoid any unnecessary suffering.

We did a blog post last year explaining the signs and symptoms of heatstroke, and ways to keep your dogs safe during the summer months, so PLEASE read it on our website 📖

The link is: https://valleyvetcare.co.uk/how-do-i-keep-my-dog-safe-in-the-hot-weather/

Please share this with all your dog owning friends 👍

Have a happy and safe spring/summer 😊

Bernard the duckling 🐥

Was rescued by our receptionist Gill

She noticed his right foot didn’t look quite right

After seeing vet Vince it was determined Bernard had a septic joint!

Bernard was treated by Vince and carefully monitored by our head nurse & exotics nurse Martyn, whilst undergoing an examination & xray 🩻

He was prescribed antibiotics & pain relief 💊

Bernard has improved massively, Although his leg is not considered normal it still doesn’t stop him enjoying life 😊

Gill has done an amazing job to get him back on track & his improvement is monitored daily 👍

Click through the pics to see him enjoying fishing for peas in his bath time 🫛 😂
