🐍 ADDER WARNING 🐍

Everybody meet Redford, Redford is a 10 month old Labrador who unfortunately crossed paths with an adder at Greenham common last week. The adder bit Redford’s foot which started to swell straight away, poor Redford was very distressed. His owner brought him to us immediately to administer prompt supportive treatment including anti-venom. His foot started to reduce in size within hours and he was back to his normal self by the following day!

Please take care when out walking during summer months, particularly around Greenham Common and Snelsmore as adders are often out basking 🐍

If you believe your pet has been bitten please seek veterinary attention as soon as possible as symptoms can progress rapidly.

🎉 We’re very proud to announce that we have recently received our RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accreditation! 🎉

The RCVS Practice Standards Scheme is a voluntary programme that recognises practices committed to maintaining high standards of veterinary care. To achieve accreditation, practices are independently assessed every 4 years on areas including hygiene, emergency cover arrangements, medical equipment and facilities, and staff training.

We are incredibly proud of our whole team for their hard work and dedication in helping us achieve this accreditation and for their continued commitment to providing the highest standards of care for our patients and clients.

Rupert and Brennan were so proud of the achievement that they insisted on posing with our certificate! 🐶🐶

🐾 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! 🐾
