Win your Crufts Tickets here!

Thanks to our friends at Agria pet insurance we have two tickets for free access to crufts at The Nec in Birmingham and is valid any one day between 5-8 March.

 All you have to do is answer this question ...

We had to remove a fish hook from the stomach of a dog.  Thankfully the dog was insured but how much do you think it cost?

We will pick the person nearest by Friday Feb 27th at midday.

Congratulations to Katie

Many Congratulations to our head receptionist Katie who got married yesterday. The new Mrs Mills looked stunning and obviously the staff never say no to a free buffet managed to scrub up well too!

Case of the Month January 2015 - Felix

Felix is an 18 month old cat that we saw in January. His Owners had noticed him going into his litter tray more often than usual, but when they brought him in it was because he had become wobbly on his back legs and very lethargic. As soon as Felix came out of his basket in the middle of his abdomen we could feel something large and hard which was suspected to be his bladder. This is something we term having a blocked bladder and it is one of the true emergencies we see ...

Team Photo - new staff!

In January we sadly said goodbye to our nurse Corinna who had been with us for the last year. Corinna is going to work for  North Clwyd animal rescue a charity she has strong links with and is a dream job for her but we welcome to the practice Tanja as her replacement. Tanja spent January shadowing Corinna and is looking forward to taking over the nurse clinics especially the puppy parties.

We also welcome our new practice manager Nicola who has the dream role of managing all the team (again lets be honest who wouldn't want that job ok all of the staff and probably many more but yes we are a dream)

As you can see from the photo there are a lot of us to manage, this is the majority of us although there are still 4 people missing! (Claire C, Claire F, Carly and Sian).
