Earlier on today we had the lovely “Moses” in for a check up! He was very excited and it was difficult to get him to sit still for a photo, but I think we succeeded! 🙌🐾🐶
Felicity Walsh baby Moses!
Little Dexter came into the practice with what looked like a lump on the side of his face. On closer inspection by the vet it was discovered that poor Dexter was suffering from a tooth root abscess! After having the culprit removed the end of last week, little Dexter is now feeling a lot better and is back to his bouncy self! 🐾🐶
Rocco came into us on Monday with a poorly right ear! He had been out for a walk and then his owner noticed something stuck in his ear, it turned out to be a big nasty grass seed!! Fortunately we were able to get the grass seed out and now he is feeling a lot more comfortable!
We have been seeing a lot of problems recently with grass seeds, which is why it is important to check your dogs over after a walk for any lingering seeds! 🐾
We are not sure that anyone could be more relaxed and comfy than Muesli who visited us her at the practice last week! Look how relaxed he is during his health check and weigh in! He certainly made himself at home! 🙌🐾
What a beautiful cat 🐈🤗
Last week we had poor Lily come into the practice, she is one of our nurses dogs. Unfortunately Lily was stung by a wasp on her ear and had an allergic reaction! As you can see from the video she was not feeling well at all, but we are pleased to say after some treatment with our vet Rosy, the following day Lily was feeing much better and back to carrying her toy around! 🙌🐾🐶
Lovely Skippa came straight in to see us last weekend as she had a very sore eye.
After putting some local anaesthetic drops in her eye, the vet was able to have a look and spotted the tiny hairlike end of a grass seed protruding from behind her third eyelid.
Skippa was very well behaved and we were able to remove the entire grass seed! Even though it hadn’t been there for very long it had already rubbed the surface of poor Skippa’s eye causing an ulcer, this is the area taken up by green dye in the photo.
Luckily for Skippa this has been treated quickly and she is already feeling much better and the ulcer is much smaller already 🐶 If your dog has a sore eye it’s always important to have it checked promptly like Skippa 🐾
🎉The totals are in for our Buy 1 Give 1 Campaign!!!
In the month of July we have neutered 6 dogs in Nepal, vaccinated 1 dogs in Nepal and provided 5 goats to families in Kenya. Let’s hope we can keep up the good work in the month of August! 🙌🎉
Earlier this year in June we had the pleasure of treating Alfie, a German Shepherd who required emergency surgery to help save his life. We were able to give Alfie and Luke a precious 5 weeks extra together, but sadly Alfie passed away on the 26th June 2019.
To commemorate Alfie's life and raise money to help other animals in need, Luke is cycling from Somerset to Perth in Scotland and then competing in a 50km Spartan race.
To donate to Luke and his mission please see the attached photo or view his Just Giving page here: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/luke-brine

Today we had cute Clyde in for castration, here he is cuddled under a blanket from his surgery.
We wish Clyde a speedy recovery 🐾
