🐾 CALICO CAT – FOUND INJURED 🐾

We have had a calico cat handed into Blackwater Veterinary Clinic after being found injured over the weekend. ❤️‍🩹

The cat is very well cared for, so we are hoping we can reunite them with their owner. Unfortunately, the cat is not microchipped.

📍 Found in the local area

If you think this may be your cat, please contact Blackwater Veterinary Clinic.

⚠️ Proof of ownership will be required before the cat can be reunited with anyone. This may include photographs, veterinary records, or other identifying information.

Please share this post to help us find their family! 🐱❤️

Just a reminder that the top of Shoulder's Lane is closed to traffic, but is open to pedestrians.

You can also drive up from the bottom of the lane. It is a tight space and those not comfortable to drive, we would recommend parking in town and walking to the clinic.

🚨 IMPORTANT TRAFFIC UPDATE 🚨

Please be aware that Shoulder’s Lane is closed from the Courthouse side until October.

🐾 The clinic is still accessible by entering from the bottom of Shoulder’s Lane.

🚗 However, due to increased traffic and congestion, we strongly advise clients to park in town and walk to the clinic where possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these works are ongoing. ❤️

🐶 Is your dog scratching more than usual? It could be allergies! 🌼

Allergies are one of the most common reasons dogs visit the vet. While occasional scratching is normal, persistent itching, licking, ear infections, or skin irritation may be signs that something isn't right.

Keep an eye out for:
🐾 Excessive licking or chewing of paws
🐾 Constant scratching or rubbing
🐾 Recurrent ear infections
🐾 Red, inflamed or irritated skin
🐾 Hair loss or thinning coat
🐾 Unpleasant skin or ear odour
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🐾 Red or watery eyes

The good news? Allergies can often be managed with the right diagnosis and treatment plan.

At Blackwater Veterinary, we'll work with you to identify the cause of your pet's symptoms and develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs—helping them live a happier, more comfortable life.

📞 If you've noticed any of these signs, don't wait for them to get worse. Contact us today on 022 22340 to book a consultation.

🐕 A little itch today doesn't have to become a bigger problem tomorrow.

** REHOMED **

This beautiful kitten needs a new home.

Unfortunately, we had a home lined up and it didn't work out.

We would love her to be collected today if possible due to the long weekend.
