6 month old Cockerpoo, Margo, was in with us for her spay 2 weeks ago 😊 Margo has been back to visit us for her post op checks, her wound is healing well and she has been given the all clear!

Our nurses will always have time for patient cuddles! Making each patient feel safe and well cared for 🥰 Margo couldn't resist a lap cuddle from our RVN, Jo ❤️🐾

We will keep this post updated. Thank you for your understanding.

Meet our patient, Peanut the Ferret! 🤩

Peanut came in to see us a few weeks ago after his owner noticed he had a sore, watery eye. Vet Zoe examined Peanut and discovered he had an ulcer. Eye ulcers are often caused by sharp trauma to the eye, in these cases it can be caused by environmental debris. Zoe advised that Peanut would require debridement of the ulcer in order to remove the damaged tissue, promoting faster healing. Peanut was sedated for this delicate procedure and his eye was numbed, Zoe used a rotary diamond burr, which helps to sweep away the damaged tissue without causing further injury to his eye.

Peanut has since recovered well from his procedure and his eye ulcer has healed! Peanut is pictured below with Vet Zoe and RVN Becky 🥰

These little ducklings had a difficult start in life after their mother was sadly involved in an RTA 😔 The ducklings were brought into us a few weeks ago, after checking they were un-injured, our RVN Emma offered to look after them until they were big enough for release! They have been growing stronger every day, it won't be long before they are back out on the pond where they belong 🐥

A big thank you to Emma for going that extra mile and dedicating her time to them 🦆🥰

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month - Mental Health Awareness 🐾 🩺❤️‍🩹

Veterinary Nurses can often deal with some difficult and emotional cases which can really impact their mental health. Here at End Cottage we have a fantastic supportive team and wonderful clients to make things just that little bit easier.

Behind the scenes of veterinary nursing are long shifts (often 12 hour+ days) emotional conversations, difficult decisions and moments of incredible compassion 🐾

Veterinary nursing is more than treatments and procedures - it's comforting frightened pets, supporting worried owners, celebrating recoveries, and carrying the emotional weight of difficult days with compassion, empathy and professionalism.

Behind every calm voice and reassuring smile is a veterinary nurse giving their whole heart to the job. The wins, the losses, the recoveries, the goodbyes - veterinary nurses are there through it all 💚

Our nurses Jo, Alice, Andrea, Alesha, Becky, Emma, Simone, Cat, Emily and Holly are all very proud to be Registered Veterinary Nurses! 💚 We would also like to do a special shout out to our SVNs, Laura and Isabelle and our PCAs, Alisha and Izzy for all their hard work and dedication!🐾

Meet Ty the Staffy! 🐶

Ty is one of Zoe's regular patients, he is always so excited to see everyone! 🥰

Ty came in for a blood test as he is on long-term medication for arthritis. He also experienced partial rupture of his cruciate ligament a few years ago and he has been doing water treadmill hydrotherapy and physiotherapy ever since his diagnosis - in order to strengthen his muscles and joints. Ty has been doing extremely well with his rehabilitation treatment over at Wicstun Veterinary Hospital 😊

🐾💚 May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! 💚🐾

Today marks the start of Veterinary Nurse awareness month. A month where we take a moment to celebrate and showcase our wonderful and incredible Registered Veterinary Nurses!
Here at End Cottage, we are so lucky to have 11 RVN's - Alesha, Alice, Andrea, Simone, Holly, Johanna, Emily, Cat, Becky, Emma and Tracey. We also have Laura and Isobel - our enrolled Student Veterinary Nurses.

Becoming an RVN is very rewarding but takes years of dedication towards their training. There are two different routes to becoming an RVN:
💚 Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing - This course usually takes around 2-3 years. Consisting of one full day a week at college, alongside full-time employment in a veterinary practice
💚 BSc Honours or FdSc Degree in Veterinary Nursing - A 3-4 year degree with university study and yearly clinical placements (usually unpaid!)
🐾 Student Veterinary Nurses need to complete at least 1800 hours within an RCVS-approved training practice (which we are proud to be apart of!)
🐾 Students must be enrolled with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and once qualified they will be added to the register of qualified veterinary nurses.

Although the title 'Registered Veterinary Nurse' is protected by the RCVS, the title 'Veterinary Nurse' is not protected by law, meaning anyone (regardless of their training and experience) can call themselves a veterinary nurse. Therefore is it crucial we create awareness that the role is a professional qualification, ensuring all RVN's adhere to the Code of Professional Conduct - covering professional responsibilities and ethical care for their patients.

Our RVN's work extremely hard everyday to provide our patients with the best possible care, being their advocate and voice. The diverse role means no day is ever the same! They carry huge responsibility and are always looking at ways to improve patient care. This years theme for Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month is 'Compassion and Empathy', something our nurses demonstrate every single day.

We hope you will follow along throughout the month of May as we share more about what our RVN's do on a day-to-day basis! 💚 👩‍⚕️

A happy ending for Rowan the Rat 🐀 💙

Rowan was rescued by his owner a few months ago after being found in a bad way with lots of wounds including a large wound on his leg exposing tendons. Vet Caz initially saw Rowan and provided him with pain relief and antibiotics to help heal the wound. Unfortunately after first point of treatment, the decision was made to amputate his leg as it was not improving.

Fast forward to now! Caz did a final recheck on Rowan and has given him the all clear! He has fully recovered from his procedure and all of his wounds have healed ☺️💙
