Blood sampling – a useful tool for flocks this autumn 🐑 🐑🐑🐑

Our vets Gemma and Caitlin have been out and about performing routine Maedi Visna (MV) blood sampling for some of our clients as part of maintaining a 'High Health' flock. Regular blood sampling can provide valuable information about flock health, including monitoring for disease like MV and liver fluke.

Blood sampling for fluke can be particularly useful at this time of year, to help identify whether sheep have been exposed to Fasciola hepatica and, alongside flock history and other testing, help guide decisions around fluke control. Faecal samples at this time of year have their limitations, as they cannot detect the infant stages of the fluke lifecycle.

Regular monitoring for several diseases allows us to spot problems early and make sure that treatment and control plans are based on what is actually happening in individual flocks — rather than treating unnecessarily.

If you'd like to discuss MV testing, fluke monitoring or flock health screening, please contact the practice 🐑🐑🐑🐑

Don't wait for the first loud bang! 🎆🎆🎆

Firework season is approaching, and for many of our pets, the loud noises bring a lot of anxiety and stress. If you are worried about your pet’s anxiety, getting ahead of the noise is the best thing you can do. Please give us a call to book an appointment with a vet to discuss this in advance.

Keep an eye out for our top tips later in the month, where we’ll be sharing practical ways to set up a safe haven at home!

Today is Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Day!

We're sure you'll agree that our reception teams in both Biggar and Peebles do an absolutely amazing job 🤩 Its not easy to balance welcoming clients, answering phones, managing the diary, dispensing meds, and taking payments - all the same time 💪

Our receptionists are all members of the British Veterinary Receptionist Association (BVRA) and undertake regular training 👩‍🎓There's so much to learn to do this job well, probably taking two years for a new team member to feel confident they can answer all the questions they might be asked 😀

Our reception team are compassionate and caring, and spend much of their day helping people 🥰 They support clients who are worried about their pet, or may be grieving - this can be a difficult part of the job, as having got to know so many clients and pets personally over the years, seeing a much loved pet pass and proving comfort to the owner is never easy 😢

Most of our clients are an absolute pleasure to deal with, but sometimes our team have to take the brunt of someone's frustration 😖. They are very understanding and are almost always able to find the cause of the issue and help 😊 Occasionally though, they unfortunately have to stand up to people who are entitled and downright rude 😳

Our reception also have admin tasks which are shared out between them - these include responding to emails and Petsapp messages, managing our Pet Health Club, processing insurance claims, invoicing, chasing debts, ordering medications and stock checking, keeping up with our high standards of infection control in client areas of the practice - the list goes on 😁

Receptionists also liase with our nursing team and vets - keeping the vets in order is no mean feat 😅 Our reception team are such an important part of the practice, and we would certainly struggle to function without them being as amazing as they are 🤩

Please feel free to add a comment to thank our team on Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Day ☺️

One of the most common emergency calls we have are for dogs who have eaten something they shouldn't.

This can be a potential toxin like chocolate, raisons or human medication, or a something that could get stuck like a bone, a corn on the cob or toy (or something much more unpleasant or embarrassing - we've seen it all!)

This is Bailey, who had chomped up and eaten a hollow plastic ball. She was a lovely patient, despite us making her feel sick. Several vomits later and up came the ball! Much better than risking it getting stuck in her intestines and potentially needing surgery ☺️

Meet the lovely Dano, who was a model patient for us recently.

Dano was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of his left carpus (knee) on xray. Vet Ruth with her assistant RVN Erin went back to medicate his knee with steroid, with the aim of reducing inflammation and settling the swelling which had developed in the joint.

Dano wasn't looking too amused at the prospect of a couple of days box rest after the injection! 🐴😊

Thank you to Storm's owner for letting us capture this picture at his recent appointment. What a truly magnificent cat 😍
