Emergencies and First Aid

We class all of the following list as emergencies:

 

Excessive bleeding from wounds or any body opening
Difficulty breathing
Collapse
Unconsciousness
Inability to pass urine
Constant retching
Sudden bloating of the abdomen
Suspected poisoning
Fits lasting any longer than a few minutes
Broken limbs
Heat stroke
Poisoning
Drowning
Scalding
Burns
Electric shock
Inability to pass a foetus after a reasonable time straining

 

If the breathing is impaired try to get the airway free, extend the neck. If there is haemorrhage apply pressure to any bleeding point. In all cases get to the surgery as soon as possible.

 

If possible phone us first so that we are expecting you but do not waste valuable time trying to pre-warn us.

 

We will treat as urgent:

 

Any fresh wounding especially if bleeding
Severe nose bleeds
Any sudden ear trouble
Persistent vomiting
Any road accident
Any recent dog fight or dog attack of small dog, cat or rabbit
Injuries caused by running onto sticks thrown during play

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

All my pets go here 4 dogs and one cat. Best vets we have ever used and defiantly would not use anyone else. Did my buddies eyes and his hernia successfully. Would trust these guys 100%. Excellent customer service and dedication from the receptionists, vets and vet nurses. It's good to see a vets actually care about the animals and not just profit. 

Jenny Cornhill

Great veterinary practice! Reception are very welcoming and friendly. The vet that checked over my dog was very thorough and also friendly. I won’t take my dog anywhere else. I also had my bunny put the rest and they were so lovely, a few days later I received and sympathy card signed by the staff. Honestly can’t fault them.


Thank you, Angela Morely.

To all the wonderful vets and staff,

 

Your love and care for my beautiful Nanuke and for crazy, paranoid owner is beyond first class, even in losing her, there are not enough words to express my thanks. I am sure you will see me in the future, just not yet.

 

With love, Angela & Nanuke Lee xx
