FOUND STRAY CAT 🐈‍⬛

Please help us in reuniting an entire male cat to its’ owners.
He was found today by some members of the public near Worcester university, St John’s campus.
He unfortunately is not chipped but very friendly and super hungry! He is short haired and black and white, 🐈‍⬛

(Please note- we are not looking for a new home for him, just his true owners, pictures will be required to reunite them, thank you!)

We have had a young, injured kitten handed into us yesterday from the dines green area. Not chipped. Please contact the practice if you think they might be yours.

We apologise for the delay in commenting publicly.
We have been understandably snowed under with enquiries and are working as hard as we can to prioritise.
We are appalled by what we have seen on social media. As soon as we were made aware of the situation; we immediately terminated our agreement with AFS.
We visited the site first thing this morning, and all our patients' ashes are safely returned with us at the surgery.
Any affected owners have been contacted individually, albeit due to our duty of care and client confidentiality, we cannot comment further.
From what we saw this morning, we are as confident as we can be that all individual cremations have been done correctly.
We are mortified at the situation we find ourselves in, and so sorry for the upset and anguish it is causing.

We will address our clients' individual concerns but, we respectfully ask we have time to do so, as soon as we are able.

Rabbits are very sensitive to heat stress, and need close monitoring.
You can improve ventilation in the hutch by elevating it off the ground on bricks or something similar, and if possible, relocate to a shady area.
This may mean moving the hutch throughout the day. If there is no or limited shade available consider moving rabbits indoors temporarily.
Always provide fresh water, and you can offer more water-rich fruit and veg than usual on hotter days.

A particular danger for rabbits in hot weather is flystrike, as numbers of flies increase. Meticulous hygiene is essential along with twice daily checks of your rabbits’ underside.

Call us if you're worried, rabbits can go downhill so quickly.

Cats generally cope better with hot weather than dogs, as they have the sense to hide indoors and sleep through the hottest part of the day!
Make sure they don’t hide away somewhere unsuitable, however, such as a shed or greenhouse.
For younger, more adventurous cats, consider keeping them inside during the middle of the day, and be especially cautious if they have access to metal roof tops or similar as these can heat up in the sun and cause burns.

And again, if you're worried, give us a call.

IT'S HOT OUT THERE- put your Pets first and think about their paws and breathing.

Dogs should preferably be walked during cooler times of day, such as early morning or late evening.
If this is not possible, it is better to skip a walk than put them at risk of overheating.

Be especially mindful of the temperature of tarmac during truly hot spells, as this can blister footpads.
Always take water with you when out walking and, if possible, choose shadier areas such as woodland rather than open fields.

Please be sensible when it comes to walking your dogs in this weather and if they are not right, call us and we can check them over, better to be safe than sorry!

HEATWAVE IN THE UK- please, please be safe and keep your pets cool where you possibly can!
We've put some top tips together for you to help, dramatically reducing heat stress in your Pets during this week.

In hot weather, keep outdoor time restricted to cool or shady areas, and move indoors as needed.
Keep indoor spaces cool and well ventilated; if in direct sunlight, consider closing any curtains and open a window if there is a breeze.
Offer your pet plenty of fresh water, refilling regularly, and keep other liquids out of reach.
If your pet seems uncomfortable, try wetting their feet and/or using a cooling mist - this is an option for dogs, cats and small animals, though dogs are most likely to enjoy a paddle.
Apply non-toxic sun cream to the nose and ears of pale coloured cats and dogs to avoid sunburn - if in doubt, please ask us.
Make sure pets with longer coats are groomed and free from matts. Dogs that are routinely clipped will appreciate a trim, but don’t be tempted to suddenly shave your pet as this can disrupt their normal hair growth and expose their skin to risk of sunburn.

If your Pet is struggling to breathe, has heavy breathing, excessive salivation, rapid heart/pulse rate, very red gums and/or tongue or extreme lethargy, do not hesitate in calling us and bringing your Pet down, so we can help.
