16.01.2022 Meet Stretchy Stretchy is a Darwin Albino Python who is owned by our lovely work placement student Caitlin. Stretchy came in for a visit last week and received plenty of attention by all of us here at the clinics :-)

14.01.2022 Staff pet of the month: TJ TJ is the senior citizen in her household at the ripe old age of 13! Her name stands for "Tess Junior" who was her mother and looks just like her. TJ has, in her later years, become a massive fan of snoozing, lounging around in the house and generally being a bit of a couch potato. She enjoys stacking her bed on top of her doggie friend Lady's and sleeping raised up where she can keep an eye of what is happening in the house. TJ is... an attention seeker if ever there was one! She will happily sit for hours as long as someone will pat or rub her - and cries as soon as these stop as she always wants more! She is a chewer and pulls the stuffing out of all of her toys so that she is left with only the outer pieces. She lives with another dog and a cat at home - not a big fan of her cat housemate but her and her cavie friend Lady get on well together. She is a little lady who rules the roost in her house and could not be happier. See more

14.01.2022 Giving cats tablets: Something that strikes fear into a lot of pet owners it is the idea of having to tablet their cat, and it can be quite stressful for all. We have some tips that may make things a little easier: Refer to the instructions given by your veterinarian, and double check that you have the correct amount of medication.... 1) Have your cat in a sitting position and place one hand on top of the cat's head, over the ears. (holding cheek bones as demonstrated in the first photo below) 2)Tilt the head backwards so your cat's nose is pointing to the ceiling. This will cause their mouth to open slightly. 3)Hold the tablet between your thumb and index finger of your second hand as shown in the picture. 4) Open their mouth with the fingers of your other hand. 5) Drop the tablet into the back of the throat as shown below 6) Close their mouth and rub the neck. 7) Ensure the tablet has been swallowed. Good luck, move swiftly and watch your fingers!!

08.01.2022 A Baby Magpies Plea If you see me on the ground, hold tight,my parents are likely to be somewhere 'round!' They may be out collecting my food, or chasing off predators that are likely to intrude! Please give them time, and wait to see, they are extremely likely to return for me ;-) As i wobble and clumsily flutter down to the ground, I'm just learning my bearings of how to get 'round'... An exciting new world for me to see. Out of the nest and free as can be! Although i may not yet be able to fly, please don't worry as I'm bound to get by. I can usually flutter and jump to higher ground. I can communicate with my parents by emitting a sound. If you see me in immediate danger, please help and don't be a stranger! If I'm injured,i need your assistance. Call your local animal shelter. Please do not be tempted to take us home and try to raise us on your own. We require experienced care,a nutritious diet like our parents would prepare. We know you mean well, and truly thank you for caring. But when it comes to raising us, even our parents find it overwhelming! See more
