They will be available for adoption shortly 💜

It takes a village, and we are incredibly grateful for the quick support to get these little guys sorted:

• 🏥 Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital :A massive thank you for seeing them on such short notice, getting their vaccinations up to date, and sorting out their worming.

• 🚗 Amanda, Super-Foster Carer: Thank you 🙌 for being on hand immediately to transport and take them into your loving care.

• 📦 Supplies Ordered: It’s been a busy morning getting everything lined up for their foster journey!

💡 A Friendly Reminder: To please desex your pets to help prevent accidental litters.💯

🐾💚❤️💛💙💜 CELEBRATING OUR EVERYDAY HEROES!

This week, we’ve been celebrating Veterinary Nurse & Technicians Week with the theme Our Everyday Heroes: Strength, Skill, and Heart in Action!

At OHVH, our veterinary nurses are the superheroes behind the scenes (and often right in the middle of the action!). From comforting worried patients to supporting complex procedures, solving medical mysteries and reassuring families, they bring incredible skill, compassion and dedication to everything they do.

Here’s a look at what makes our team so extraordinary!

💚 THE POWER OF HEALING HANDS 🐾
The gentle touch, reassuring cuddles and compassionate care that help our patients feel safe and loved, especially when they need us most.

❤️ THE DIAGNOSTIC DETECTIVES 🔍
Putting their knowledge, problem-solving skills and attention to detail to work to help uncover answers and ensure our patients receive the best possible care.

💛 THE SURGICAL SUPER SQUAD 🩺
From meticulous preparation to anaesthesia monitoring and constant vigilance, our nurses are an essential part of keeping our surgical patients safe.

💙 GUARDIANS OF COMPASSION 💕
Caring for more than just our patients, they support their humans, navigate difficult conversations and provide comfort and reassurance when it's needed most. Their kindness makes a difference to the whole family.

💜 MULTITASKING MARVELS 🦸‍♀️
Juggling a million things at once, keeping everything running smoothly, supporting their teammates and somehow managing to be everywhere they're needed — sometimes all at the same time! 😂

💚❤️💛💙💜 THANK YOU TO OUR OHVH SUPERHERO VETERINARY NURSES! 💜💙💛❤️💚

Your strength, skill, compassion, teamwork and unwavering dedication make a difference every single day. You are the calm in the chaos, the comfort in the scary moments and the loving hands that help our patients through their toughest days.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we are so incredibly lucky to have you as part of our OHVH family.

You don't all wear capes, but you certainly wear your scrubs like superheroes! 🦸‍♀️🐶🐱

Camille’s holiday - Day 26
Last day in England before flying home.
This morning I half packed my bags to see if I could fit everything in. I bought so many goodies! I had to buy extra baggage to get it all back home, so no need to post things back.
Then we played cards for awhile.
Wendy and Amandine then took me to Temple Newsam in Leeds. Another gorgeous mansion on beautiful grounds! We had afternoon tea of course with something sweet to eat! Yum!
Then we played cards again! Too much fun!
Then we took Jack the horse and the 2 dogs for a walk.
I got sat on by Sully the dog again, which I love.
Then a hair brush for Amandine!
Then another home cooked dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and a delicious cake for dessert.
Sad to know that I am flying home tomorrow and that was my last sunset and moon in England.
I am having a wonderful holiday but I miss my family, and my dogs and cat. I can’t wait to see them all.

Camille’s holiday-Day 25
Today, Wendy and I drove back from Stone Henge to Leeds. We drove a longer way back past Bristol, Birmingham and Nottingham. It took 5.5 hours to drive back.
We had afternoon tea of course! Yum!
Beautiful rolling green countryside!
When we got home we played some cards! Very serious faces!
We walked Jack the horse and brushed the burrs out of his mane and forelock.
Beautiful moon tonight!
Then delicious home cooked crepes with ham and eggs.
Then we watched a movie, Unhinged with Russell Crowe, whilst cuddling the 2 dogs!

The sweetest week of the year! 🐾🧁

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our RSPCA Cupcake Week and helped us raise funds to give mistreated, abandoned and abused animals their second chance at life. ❤️

Every cupcake, cookie and donation made a difference. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing Orchard Hills Vet community! 🐶🐱💜

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one sweet treat at a time! 🧁🐾

Camille’s holiday-Day 24
Today Wendy and I did a road trip from Leeds in the north of England to Stone Henge in the south west of England! We drove 385km in 5 hours to see an absolutely amazing circle of stones that were built approximately in 3000BC. We had access to the inner circle where you could walk in and around the entire Stone Henge. So nice to be so close to it.
The whole monument is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. Amazing!
We saw the sunset as we were leaving Stone Henge.
We are staying the night at a hotel. We had a delicious dinner and of course dessert! Yum!
Beautiful full moon on the walk back to the hotel after dinner.
We drive back to Leeds tomorrow morning.

Camille’s holiday - Day 22
I love waking up with the dogs!
I had my hair trimmed by Amandine and I trimmed her hair. Beautiful to sit outside in the sunshine.
It was Wendy’s birthday today, so the whole day was for her! We had lunch with the family in Leeds in her favourite restaurant. Then a game of 10 pin bowling, which I have not played for years! So much fun. Everyone was so competitive!
Then we walked Jack the horse and the 2 dogs. We watched another sunset and gorgeous moon whilst at the stables.
Then opening up the presents and a delicious home cooked lemon cheesecake!
