This is Alice who is a trendsetter! She has found a new way to wear her buster collar which still covers the wound to stop her licking at it!
The totals are in for our Buy 1 Give 1 Campaign!!!
In the month of September we have neutered 1 dog in Nepal and provided 7 goats to families in Kenya! Hopefully we can continue this great work into September and give back even more!
Stanley was in earlier today for his 4th laser therapy session with one of our nurses.
Stanley’s owners had noticed that he had slowed down over the past few weeks and then appeared lame on one of his legs. However after just 3 sessions of laser treatment he is feeling much more comfortable and back to his more youthful bouncing self, which his owner is very happy about. Klaser therapy has shown great results in decreasing pain and swelling and increasing circulation to the affected area in our arthritic patients.
We have had this little one handed in to us today. It was brought into the practice having been found in some woods. If you think this may be yours or you can provide us with any information, please contact the practice urgently on 01749 813291 .
This little one has now been reunited with his owner.
Hi, please could you take a look at the pic of Ted who has been missing for 9 weeks......wondering if this could be him.......it is a long shot as I am in Dorset, but you never know??
Mine was lost about a year ago from Weston direction. A hermann a few years old. I have messaged the practise but don’t have signal to call until later.

WARNING TO ALL RABBIT OWNERS
**CONFIRMED CASES OF RVHD-2 IN BRUTON**
>The practice is urging owners to vaccinate after cases of RVHD-2 were confirmed in Bruton this month.
>This deadly and highly contagious disease, (which can be carried by both wild and domesticated rabbits as well as on clothing and other in contact items) is often symptomless and rabbits can be found dead with no obvious signs of disease.
>There is no cure for the disease, which has been reported all over the UK as well as the South West, and the only way to protect pets is through vaccination.
>The current UK vaccine, Nobivac Myxo-RHD, offers protection against RVHD-1 and Myxomatosis, but is unlikely to offer any protection against RVHD-2, as this strain of the virus is genetically different. It is recommended that a second vaccination be given to cover RVHD-2 two weeks later.
>Bruton Vets now stock the RVHD-2 vaccine so please do not hesitate in booking your rabbit in for a vaccine against this horrible disease.

This morning we had the adorable Lara visit the practice for her monthly weight check. She was very well behaved and practiced sitting on the scales, what a clever puppy!
