After the end of the most recent restrictions, we are now inviting a limited number of clients into the practice at any one time. We are restricting the number of humans and may ask you to wait outside if there are too many people in the practice at once. Please also be aware that it is possible that only one human (and their dependents) will be allowed into see the vet or nurse with your pet at any one time, so please come prepared for this eventuality although we will do our best to accomodate you. We also ask that you wear a mask at all times over both your nose and mouth when in the practice. Many thanks for your continuing patience and support.
Ralph
Ralph came in to see us a little while ago after he suffered a nasty cut to the pad on his back foot.
Ralph was so well behaved he allowed Dr Oli to examine the cut well enough to realise that unfortunately it needed to be stitched up.
We are not sure exactly what Ralph cut his pad on, but the cut itself was about 1 and ½ cm long and had gone right through his pad.
This would have been very sore but Ralph remained his bouncy, happy self.
Ralph was anaesthetised by Dr Oli and nurse Charlotte so that his cut pad could be thoroughly cleaned, and carefully examined to make sure there was no foreign material in the wound.
Dr Oli then stitched the wound together to encourage it to heal as quickly as possible.
Ralph's foot was bandaged to protect the wound.
Once his bandage was removed Ralph then had a lovely pair of new boots bought for him by his wonderful owners to wear until his pad had healed fully. Although he only needed one foot to be covered, Ralph loved his new boot so much that he decided he would only walk if he had one on each back foot!
Well done Ralph for being so brave! Throughout your whole ordeal we loved getting to see you and your lovely smile!
