Pet Smile Month September 2010

Storm teeth www.jpg

 

 

Teeth and gum disease is the  most common condition in adult dogs. The tell-tale signs are bad breath, poor appetite, and a lot of dribbling. We are offering free dental check-ups during September. Make an appointment with the nurse, have your dog's mouth checked, get some advice on dental care, and pick up some free teeth-care samples at the same time!

 Fly Strike in Rabbits

Make sure your rabbit is always clean and dry with plenty of clean dry bedding

 

Fly strike is a serious condition  affecting rabbits, that occurs during the summer months. It is caused by flies which are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces around the rabbit's back end. They then lay their eggs where they hatch within hours into maggots that eat into the rabbit's flesh.

Call in to collect a fly repellant which lasts for up to eight weeks

This nice young male cat was found near Perrins Residential Home in Malvern on Monday 10th May. He appears well looked after and we think he must have a home somewhere. If noone comes forward to claim him, he will be wanting a new home

He is looking  a bit grumpy in the picture because he has just been woken up! 

We can now report that thanks to his picture going into the Malvern Gazette he has now been reunited with his owner

 

 

 

Lily poisoning in cats

Lilly for weeb.jpg

As these flowers have become more common , so too has the incidence of poisoning by them in cats.

All parts are potentially poisonous but it often occurs because cats brush against the flowers getting the orangy brown pollen on their coats. They then ingest the pollen when they are grooming themselves

Symptoms initially are vomiting, off food, and increased thirst. It is invariably fatal

Our new book-keeper has joined us . She previoulsy worked at a vets in Ledbury. Looks like everyrthings going to be computerised, and the system built up over a number of years (well tried and tested) may well be radically changed! Still as long as the bills go out on time

Building - February 2010

Building for www.jpg

Our new diagnostic suite - on the back of the building- is starting to take shape. Well, the foundations are in and  a couple of layers of bricks! The concrete was actually poured in during the last heavy snowfall, and, in spite, of the weather work has continued since. This will give us much needed more space, and the builderes are absolutely fine....but we will be very glad when it is finished

 Cat Bites

This is an occupational hazard! The moral is "never take a cat-bite lightly!".
