Covid19 and Vets

 A very timely reminder - thanks for that.

Luckily for us neither of the dogs are on medication at the moment and both have been checked over and had boosters and kennel cough done recently.  Also stocked up on flea treatment and worming tablets just last month. 🐕🐕

Thankfully we have all we need as well, other than the repeats. However, we have a trip to a specialist eye vet in Sheffield booked end of this month. Going to find out how this will work later today. It’s three months since our last visit, so I am sure that vet will need to see him. Don’t fancy the trip into Sheffield, and OH will not under any circumstances be leaving the car! 😱

Much the same here ttda, Cassie had her op two weeks ago, post op  appointment done before tighter restrictions came into force and then our local to us branch closed to all but emergencies.

We received a video call appointment a few days ago from the vet at the main branch as a follow up regarding the meds and the healing.

Hopefully as she's up to date with everything we will not need to visit for some time now.

Our vets have a long list of what they can and can't do, immunisation is being delayed etc. Emergencies only for treatment, with a list of what they consider to be one. On line consultations offered etc.

It is a timely reminder  TDA for people to look these things up. Thanks.

I'd also add that if you order pet food on line it can take a while and stocks aren't as readily available.

We have had both a text and Email from Rosa,s vets adviseing of what is available at this time   and a phone number for urgent visits

A  friend of mine has been badly bitten by a large dog today. 
The owner thought it was OK to let the dog run loose because “there is no traffic and nobody allowed to walk outside “.

Please look out for each other, everyone, stay safe.

🙂

Edit, probably on the wrong thread, sorry...🤔

Not to worry, Pliers --  we all need to be aware of the muppets out there !!

Sorry to hear about your friend pliers. We have noticed a lot of unknown dogs being walked in our local Park, (you tend to get to know the regulars) Thankfully most are on a lead, but one or two seem to be finding a daily walk very stressful, as if they aren’t used to being out. Poor things, I do wonder what their normal lives are like.

Hope your friend is ok, very distressing.

Thanks, TTDA, I had a chat with her on the phone this lunchtime and she’s feeling much better. Her main concern now that what she might have caught at A & E at Oldham Royal hospital!

I recommended opening a bottle of wine!

My local vet is positively insistent that I take PNUT for a Rabies booster even tho when she was last tested she had no antibodies so was not immune!

I have requested an explanation but so far nothing. I am cynical and thinking they want my money.
