Moose was glad of his hat and scarf when he accompanied one of the large animal vets on their farm calls this morning! 💨🌧🥶
Donaldson’s team of large animal vets have a wealth of experience and attend emergency call outs everyday. They also regularly attend farms for more routine visits such as pregnancy diagnosis, TB testing, blood sampling, bull and ram fertility testing and de-horning to name but a few! 🐂🐄🐏🐖🦙🚜
This handsome Limousin bull took rather an interest in Moose! 😆

How much does castration of a dog cost under the plan?
I think the rabbit plan needs to be improved before I will consider it
Moose has been helping out at Somerset Road today!
This morning he assisted auxiliary nurse, Greg, care for the patients in the isolation ward.
Any patient that has a potentially infectious condition is cared for in Isolation. This is to make sure that the other patients at not put at risk. It is very important to take precautions when dealing with patients in isolation and wear all necessary PPE (personal protective equipment), as demonstrated by Moose and Greg! 👍🏻

Can’t wait to do my work experience in January!!!
I wondered if gregg was still there the most helpful, kind voice on the end of the phone when you so need it, 🥰
⚠️At this time of the year, UK homes are awash with Christmas treats and decorations which can pose as hazardous to pets. We always see a rise in pets (particularly dogs) being admitted for treatment due to consuming harmful foods and decorations during December! ⚠️
In the kitchen, grapes, sultanas, currants and raisins (main ingredients for Christmas cake and puddings) are toxic to dogs and cats. These foods can cause kidney failure and swift treatment is required following consumption!
Chocolate(especially dark), nuts, onions, garlic and alcoholic drinks are also all toxic for pets! ❌🍫🥜🥃🍇❌
Christmas decorations such as fairy lights, tinsel, ribbon and festive plants such as poinsettia and mistletoe can cause problems for the more inquisitive pets. It is a good idea to take this into account whilst decorating the house and place potentially hazardous items out of reach. 🎄🌿🌺
Please phone your local branch for advice if you suspect your pet may have consumed something potentially harmful! ☎️

I had my dog PTS yesterday for eating raisins on Monday. Heartbroken 💔

Do be careful when making Christmas cakes on the kitchen table. Our dear Maisie butter wouldn't melt in her mouth managed to climb on the chair and then onto the table and helped herself to all of the cherries and loads of dried fruit that was ready for the next stage. You wouldn't have even know that she had done this not a currant on the table I didn't have a clue that she had eaten any until the next day. when she was sick
Look who’s back!!!! 😃🎄
Moose has returned and will be getting involved in all things veterinary throughout the month of December!
Look out for him on our Facebook page and keep your eyes peeled if you visit one of our surgeries - he will be out and about! 👀

Love it xx
This week we had a visit from the pupils and teachers of Lowerhouses School 🙂
Head nurse, Rachel, lead a tour of the surgery and the pupils were able to learn more about the work we do. 🌡🔬🐶🐱👩🏼⚕️
We hope they had an enjoyable visit!
Fantastic opportunity for the children 👏👏
How wonderful xx
Fantastic, love this. Ive always felt schools should give vital lessons on how to care for animals. It should be in the curriculum without a doubt. Animal welfare is a important lesson to give and children are the best place to start. Xx

In the UK, obesity in pets is becoming a major concern.
It is estimated that 40% of dogs and 53% of cats are considered overweight! 😬
Like humans, obesity can leave animals prone to conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease.
Many owners are often unaware of their pet’s weight and the early signs of weight gain can be difficult to spot. If it is difficult to feel their ribs or their waist is not defined when viewed from above, then your pet is likely carrying excess weight.
At Donaldson’s Vets, our fantastic team of Registered Veterinary Nurses offer weight checks for all pets and will guide you through a tailored weight loss plan for your pet.
To arrange an appointment with one of our nurses, please phone your local branch! ☎️

This little kitten was brought into us after being discovered in a car engine!
She pulled on the heart strings of the nurses who have been caring for her since she came to us.
A wonderful forever home has been found for her, in beautiful countryside overlooking a lake!
We love happy endings! 😊
How lovely 😍

Across the country there are many animals who are prescribed long term medications.
💊 🐶🐱🐰🐴
Our clients can order repeat prescriptions easily by phoning their local branch. We ask for minimum of 24 hours notice for all repeat prescriptions.
All patients on long term medication must be examined by a vet at least every 6 months! This may be more frequent depending on the individual circumstance.
Clients will be informed by a member of staff if their pet is due a medication review with the vet 🙂
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! 😃
