What we’ve been up to
This is Bonnie.
Bonnie is one of our diabetic patients and we had her in the surgery yesterday for a routine glucose curve to check that her blood sugar levels are stable. She is always a very good girl with us and enjoys the fuss and attention from the nurses. 🐶
Today at the practice we had this little chap in for castration. While he was in we also placed a microchip which means that he can always be tracked back to his owner should he go wandering. We wish little woodhouse a speedy recovery! 😺
Is this your cat? Found this morning seeking shelter in a lady’s garage in the westcombe area. Pale ginger female cat, no collar or microchip. Very friendly little girl! If you have any information or think she is yours then please contact the practice on 01749 813291 for further information.
Today we had this little chap in for castration! Teddy was a very good boy and enjoyed lots of cuddles from the nurses. We wish him a speedy recovery and sure he will be out exploring soon!
Steed
Steed came to visit us back in February when his owners noticed he was lethargic and not wanting to play. (Very unusual for Steed!!!)
After an examination with the vet it was discovered that Steed had an incredibly low heart rate and also a heart murmur. Blood tests were performed and Steed was booked in for an ECG and ultrasound the following morning.
Upon completing the ECG it was apparent that Steed had a very abnormal heart rhythm and needed an emergency referral to Langford Veterinary Hospital to be fitted with a pace maker under general anaesthetic.
Nearly a month on and Steed is doing well and well on the road to recovery. He is now very happy to start exercising again with short lead walks. We wish Steed a steady recovery and hope to see him back to his bouncy self soon!
Well done steed and also well done Diane and Ian. Your perseverence and love for steed is paying off. X

We have had an entire male rabbit handed in this morning, found in Bruton in the Brue Avenue area, if you have lost a rabbit or can provide us with any information, please call us on 01749 813291
Last week at the practice we had our nurse’s dog St John (Bin) in for laser treatment on his hips.
Bin is coming up 14 years old and like many older dogs he suffers from Osteoarthritis.
Laser therapy is a painless treatment and doesn’t require any form of sedation. It can be used to help reduce pain and inflammation, aid healing and improve mobility.
This treatment can be used for many ailments, not just Osteoarthritis but also post operative surgical wounds and also soft tissue injuries.
As you can see Bin was very relaxed and happy during his treatment and after roughly 10 minutes it was all done!
Today we had Jamie visit the practice for a dental procedure. He was a star patient and has gone home with lovely clean teeth as you can see from the before and after pictures!
Incredible results - I intend to clean his teeth EVERY day from now on...thank you so much!
What a cute teddy face !
Yesterday we had a very unusual patient brought into us after being discovered inside a lady’s house. After investigations to identify what kind of snake he was (a grass snake), our vet Charlotte performed some delicate surgery to remove debris that was stuck to the little guy, causing him not to be able to open his mouth correctly. This was successful and later that afternoon the little guy was collected by Secret World Wildlife Rescue to continue his care before being released back into the wild.
Great work Guy's. Know Where Im sending all my reptile patients Now 😉
Well done Charlotte !
