World veterinary day

Today is World Veterinary Day – a day to celebrate the amazing work that our veterinary surgeons & nurses do every day of the year!
 
This years theme is veterinary resilience.
 
Veterinary resilience is the ability to effectively respond to and recover from adverse events. It is vital for veterinarians, veterinary staff, and animal owners worldwide. By building resilience in our veterinary community, we can improve preparedness for future challenges and better protect animals and human health.
 
Many factors can affect veterinary resilience. These include personal factors, such as personality and coping strategies; professional factors, such as workload and job satisfaction; and environmental factors, such as support from colleagues and management.
 
World Veterinary Day 2022 is a perfect opportunity to raise awareness of veterinary resilience and its importance.
 
It’s an opportunity to thank the team for their ongoing resilience in such a tough hard working environment which is both physically and emotionally challenging in so many ways every single day! The veterinary team really are remarkable and appear to have super powers – but we mustn’t forget that they are human beings too!
 
Feel free to share your support for the Station House Vets veterinary team today by visiting our Facebook page and adding a comment or a Review of the team.

From next Wednesday (27th April) we are pleased to be able to offer K Laser therapy clinics for your pets.
 
Laser therapy provides a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free and drug-free treatment that is used to treat a variety of conditions.
 
K Laser therapy is beneficial for pets as below:
Pain management : laser therapy is a non-invasive therapy used instead of or as well as  drug therapy for the treatment of chronic pain. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic pain
 
Wound healing : laser therapy can significantly reduce healing time, while at the same time improving the quality of tissue (more proliferation of normal cells, less tension and scar formation) traumatic skin injuries and surgical incisions benefit greatly from laser intervention

 

Rehab : bone and muscle injuries and orthopaedic surgeries often require additional rehabilitation solutions. Laser therapy provides a non-invasive treatment for quicker recovery.
The K Lazer clinics are being run by Anicare Laser Solutions with appointments booked by calling us on  01653 618303.
To find out more you can visit Anicare Laser Solution’s website.
Easter is nearly upon us. Our Easter opening hours are listed below.

station house vets easter hours
Last night we had our first equine evening for 3 years. It was so good to be able to get everyone together again and chat about latest treatment options for lameness in horses.
 
Clare & Amelia put on a fantastic presentation about the various options, along with an ultrasound demonstration, ably assisted by model Jack (owned by Ellie Grayson – thanks Ellie & Jack).
Refreshments were provided by Dogh Welburn and were kindly sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim – thanks to Megan & Elspeth.
Thank you also to everyone who came and supported us and got involved. Your donations to our Ukraine appeal also helped us raise a further £180 in our raffle – which will be drawn at the end of April.

After launching our new logo back in December, we have been moving everything over to the  new look.

This week we’ve updated all our signage to the new logo and look and we are delighted with the outcome.

They are bright, informative and extremely attractive!

We hope you like them too and they help new visitors to the practice find their way easily any time day or night!

Many thanks to Fastsigns York who designed and installed the signs for us, and Superfly Marketing who designed our amazing logo which just looks fantastic on everything we do.

This week is tick prevention week.

What are ticks and why are they important to prevent?
Ticks are external parasites that live by biting and then feeding off of the blood of humans and animals. It is important to prevent tick bites in both humans and your pets as some can carry harmful bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi) that can cause Lymes disease and other serious illnesses. Not all ticks carry these harmful bacteria but it is good practice to prevent the occurrence of ticks in the first place – just in case.

Bites from foreign ticks if your pet is taken on holiday can be particularly harmful.

What are the symptoms of Lymes disease?
Lymes disease is a serious bacterial infection that occurs in dogs, cats and humans. Although it is less common in cats.

Symptoms can include:
– Depression– Loss of appetite– Fever– Lameness– Swollen and painful joints– Swollen lymph nodes– Lethargy

Lymes disease can be treated with antibiotics so it is important to seek veterinary care immediately.

When are ticks most prevalent?
Tick infestations usually occur from Spring to early Summer (between March and June) and then again from late Summer throughout Autumn (between August and November)

Where are they found?
The preferred environments for ticks are in grassy and wooded areas right across the UK.

They are very common in areas with high numbers of sheep. Ticks carrying the bacteria that causes Lymes disease are more common in some parts of the UK than others.

How to prevent ticks
Consult your vet to ensure you use the right preventative tick-control product for your pet as they will identify the right product and quantity for your pets weight and age. Products come in oral medications, or topical treatments such as spot-on treatments, sprays or anti-tick collars.

At Station House Vets we recommend Bravecto (tablet or spot on) Nexguard Spectra (tablet) or Seresto (a collar) as tick prevention treatments – most of these products also prevent fleas too.
