Helping my patients to say goodbye is a regular part of my job and one that I really value. My biggest priority as a vet to to ensure these innocent, wonderful creatures do not suffer, be that through helping them medically or surgically or, at the end, by granting them a peaceful, dignified passing. I never regret euthanasias because I fully believe it is the last gift we can give our beloved friends.

That being said, so many of these patients are part of our clinic and part of our lives, so even when I know they are ready to go, they take a little piece of us with them. I say special goodbyes often, but this past month in particular, I said goodbye to more than one patient that I truly loved, patients who would brighten my day when they would come through the door and it hurts to think I won't see them waiting for me in reception again.

They will be missed by us all and by their owners, but how lucky we are to have known them ♥️

Hello everyone, just a reminder to please make sure your pets are appropriately restrained when visiting the clinic. I'm sure many of you will know that we recently had a cat escape from his owner's arms crossing the car park on his way into the clinic and still remains missing. Even the calmest cat or dog can spook going into a vet clinic with road traffic and unknown animals and humans. Even if your own dog is great with other dogs, the dog they approach may not be, especially if they are feeling unwell. Cats and exotic patients are already stressed by the car journey by the time they arrive and a box makes them feel safer and more secure and protects them from unwanted attention from other animals. Bringing an unrestrained pet is just not worth the risk.

Fergal was in this week for treatment of his beak. Beak overgrowth can be due to many factors so is always worth a thorough investigation and discussion regarding diet and husbandry. Fergal was very friendly and well behaved for his trim!

Sharing on behalf of Harvey, the little cat who escaped from his owners on his way to visit us. Harvey has been missing for nearly two weeks and everyone is very worried about him. Please contact his owners or ourselves if you see him.
