🐾 Hi everyone, I’m Sophia 🐾

🐱 I’m 14 years old and had a visit to the vets in April after I started being sick and lost my appetite.

🐱 It turned out I had a tumour in my intestines where my small and large intestines meet.

🐱 Aaron removed my tumour as well as a nearby lymph node. He also placed a feeding tube into my oesophagus to help my recovery as I still didn’t really feel like eating.

🐱 The tumour was diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma, so I’ll need regular monitoring, but there is a good chance that surgery has been curative.

🐱 I took a few days to recover, but I’m now back to my normal self and enjoying life again. My family and the team are delighted with my progress! 🐈‍⬛

⚠️ Rabbit Owners – are your pet's vaccinations up to date? ⚠️

We are seeing increasing cases of myxomatosis in rabbits locally.

Myxomatosis is a serious and often fatal viral disease. Symptoms include:
- Swollen eyes, ears, face or ge****ls
- Lethargy and reduced appetite
- Breathing difficulties
- Skin swellings and discharge around the eyes/nose

Vaccination remains the best form of protection against this disease, even for indoor rabbits.

If you’re unsure whether your rabbit’s vaccinations are up to date, please contact the practice, and our team will be happy to help

**IMPORTANT UPDATE**
🐾 EU-issued pet passports are no longer valid for travel into the EU if you are a resident of Great Britain. These pets will now need an animal health certificate (AHC) every time they travel.
🐾 To help with these changes we have decided to reduce our animal health certificate fee to £175, and for pets on the premium healthcare plan we have reduced the fee to £125 per certificate.
🐾 Both charges are subject to completing our AHC information document 7 days prior to your appointment.
🐾 Please call or email if you have any questions, or would like to make an AHC appointment 📑

⭐️FEEL GOOD FRIDAY POST⭐️
Hi I’m Hank 🐶 A couple of months ago I had only just met my new parents when I became really unwell with terrible vomiting and diarrhoea 🤢 I lost a lot of blood in my 💩 which made me feel all weak and woozy. I had to stay in the vets to get some treatment and a much bigger dog than me, (the humans called him Rupert), gave me some of his blood 🩸 I started to feel much better after that but the humans said I wasn’t producing enough of my own red blood cells and needed some iron injections 💉 to help me out. The great news is now I feel fantastic, I’ve been running around and finding all the new smells at home, the woods and on the beach! 🐾

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did, and for those who didn’t make it we hope you enjoy the photos and videos that we managed to take on the day 🐾
