What a nice surprise on a wet Monday morning! We received a certificate in the post today and are thrilled to let you all know that we have achieved the highest status awarded for Veterinary cat care!
Jed is a bouncy, mischievous black Labrador who was rescued by his owners back in 2011 - read his story and see how a nasty tummy upset nearly gave him a heart attack!
Jed is normally full of life and a typically greedy labrador who will eat anything. However prone to the odd tummy upset his owners realised something was very wrong when they woke up and found Jed producing lots of vomit and diarrhoea with large amounts of blood coming from both ends. He was also feeling quite sorry for himself and had completely lost his appetite which was very unusual! They sensibly rushed him straight down to the practice.
Some pets manage to go their whole life without having any real health problems and some seem to attract them. Lulu is one of the latter!
The life of a vet is never a boring one! We had an unusual emergency this morning.
One of our neighbours had seen a collection of small creatures left in a cardboard box in the field out the back of the practice. When she tried to pick it up the wet sodden box fell apart and the little critters all ran away!
One of our more sophisticated and fashion conscious patients at Oak Barn Vets, Lionel is a one year old, miniature smooth haired dachshund with an appetite for socks!
