8 weeks ago we performed an emergency Caesarian on a beautiful little Shih Tzu mummy who needed our help to give birth. We were expecting the worse so when the pups were delivered we were absolutely thrilled that with only a bit of assistance from our wonderful nurses they were soon giving us little squeaks and wriggling around. Just look at them all snug inside the socks! (We use socks to keep our patients warm under anaesthetic but they were a perfect fit for the new borns to lie inside)
Fast forward to yesterday and they came to visit us to start their vaccinations. They were absolutely gorgeous and so brave for their injections. We wish them a very happy future with their new families.

Another disclaimer! Only lovely comments of how cute these babies are please 😁 any debates on breeding or how they came into the world will be ignored. Every life is precious and we shouldn’t pass judgement, we are all entitled to our own opinions of course but please don’t be offended if I don’t reply to them. 🥰🥰

How adorable are these babies 😍😍 they visited us today for a health check. They were super friendly and inquisitive. Their lovely mummy stayed with us to be neutered and we wish her a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Disclaimer; this is a post to share how utterly adorable these young kittens are. In a job where we are around sadness every single day we take joy in the happiness of seeing puppies and kittens. (The day I don’t is the day I’ll quit) I won’t be getting into a debate on here about how owners shouldn’t breed or how many unwanted pets there are in the world without adding more. Take the post for what it is or scroll past 🥰🥰

This beautiful boy is Marley. He visited us yesterday to have his sore ear checked. Upon examination we could see a grass seed down his ear canal. Marley was such a brave boy he let us remove it without any sedation. One grass seed turned into three grass seeds!! Ouch 😣
Well done Marley for being such a good patient. Hopefully grass seed season is nearly over!

We have aquired a practice pet 😂☺️☺️
Meet “Heston” a gorgeous little hedgehog who was brought into us a few days ago by a concerned member of the public because he was out in the daytime. We quickly noticed a large swelling on the side of his body which luckily turned out to be an abscess and nothing more sinister. We have lanced and flushed the abscess and he is on pain relief and antibiotics. Heston is a little bit too tame! Literally hardly ever curls up around us and eats out of our hands! We aren’t quite sure where he will go, but at the moment he is staying put until he has fully healed and recuperated. 🦔 🥰
EDIT TO SAY we aren’t really treating him as a pet! He was confident and happy around us the moment he was brought in! He spends most of his time at one of our nurses houses who is very experienced with wildlife and when he is at the surgery he’s in isolation no where near dogs and cats. We’ve been feeding him by hand purely to help flush and treat his abscess - if he curls we can’t reach it and we don’t want to anaesthetise him every day! We will be contacting local rescues once his abscess has healed, until then he’s safe with us.

Meet Jack. This beautiful boy was brought into us as a stray in February last year. He had a severely injured eye and needed emergency treatment to remove it. He stayed with us to recover and to find him a forever home. One of our wonderful clients fell in love with him and he is now living the life of a king. He visited us recently to have his nails trimmed. Makes it all worth while when we see them living the life they deserve 🖤🤍

EDIT
Sadly, we have made the devastating decision to say goodbye to this lovely boy today, on welfare grounds. Thank you for all the shares and all the information. We knew deep down yesterday that this would be the outcome but was hoping we could find someone who loved him at some point in his life. More information came to life and we strongly suspect the person he was registered to on the microchip was the same person who left him behind so our search was futile. He went to sleep peacefully in the arms of one of our nurses. Sleep tight little man 💔

Does anyone recognise this lovely boy?
Bit of a long story and at this point we aren’t sure what is accurate information.
He has been looked after by multiple neighbours on Petersmith Drive in Ollerton for a number of years after his supposed owners moved away and left him. He has been brought into us today as one of his carers noticed marked weight loss and seemed to be struggling to breath.
Upon examination he has a tumour on/in his neck/throat. However, he is bright as a button and eating like he hasn’t seen food for a long time! (Although he can’t eat very easily)
Despite the history, he is actually microchipped but the one number registered doesn’t appear to be working.
The chip says he is called Frankie and is 10 years old. The chip is registered to initials Miss K G in Beeston (Nottinghamshire) which obviously isn’t local to Ollerton.
We aren’t sure how long this boy has left to live and we are appealing to the powers of social media to try and locate his owner, or perhaps a previous owner and chip details haven’t been updated. If he is or has been someone’s much loved pet (obviously not the person who supposedly abandoned him) then we would love to trace them before making any decisions on his future. He is currently struggling but we have made him comfortable with pain relief, lots of sloppy food and a warm bed. If we can save him of course we will but neither are we willing to let him suffer. We will feel more at peace making a potentially difficult decision if we have tried our best to locate a hopefully loving home.
Please note any negative comments will not be tolerated, I’ll just block you. We have never and will never put an animal to sleep just because it’s convenient, not that I should have to explain this but sadly from past post experiences I do.
Thank you in advance for any shares and/or useful information.
We can be contacted during opening hours on 01623 643888.

Every day is a school day 🧑‍🎓
We have had a great day today brushing up on our CPR skills with The Vintage RVN. Fortunately, the need to perform CPR on our patients is extremely low but this may also mean we don’t get much practice! Although we would act on instinct in the event of a patient needing to be resuscitated it’s really useful to have training and carry out some role plays as a team.

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
