Today is National Black Cat Day, and we're on the lookout for feline superheroes! 🦸 Just as in human medicine, vets rely on pet blood donations to ensure a readily available supply of safe blood products for pets who need transfusions or for use in emergency care. 🩸 We are urgently looking to recruit more cat blood donors to help save pets' lives. You can find out more about eligibility criteria and the pet blood donation process here >> https://bit.ly/3zIVq49 Even if your pet isn't eligible to donate but has a pet blood transfusion success story, we'd love it if you shared it with us in the comments below. #DaviesVeterinarySpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus #NationalBlackCatDay

Does your dog suffer from seizures? Seeing your pet go through a seizure can be scary and you should speak to your local veterinary practice immediately. They might refer you to a referral centre, such as Davies, and, after tests, we may discover the seizures are caused by epilepsy or paroxysmal dyskinesia (PD). We have some fact sheets on epilepsy and PD, which you can read: 🔴 Treatment for epilepsy in dogs fact sheet >> https://ow.ly/bqyk50Tv4Ay 🔴 Paroxysmal dyskinesia fact sheet >> https://ow.ly/mM7N50Tv4Ax #DaviesVeterinarySpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus

Bake it 'til you make it! 🍰 Vicki McLeod and Lorna Jahn, two of our Registered Veterinary Nurses, recently organised a Bake Sale to raise money for Stray Cat Rescue, a local charity she volunteers with. Stray Cat Rescue is a non-profit charity run by around 85 volunteers based in Westoning, Bedfordshire. Last year, they rehomed 259 cats, and so far this year, they have already rehomed an astonishing 264! 😮 With a delectable array of cakes and informative posters, Vicki's and Lorna's Bake Sale was a resounding success. The event raised £370 for Stray Cat Rescue and raised awareness about the charity's noble cause. Well done, Vicki and Lorna! ❤️ #DaviesVeterinarySpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus

One of our Theatre Nurses, Chloe Servodio, recently hosted a careers morning for 64 year six students, talking to them about a career in veterinary nursing. 👨⚕️👩⚕️ The presentation was broken up with lots of pictures, videos and activities. The children dressed as scrub nurses labelled a dog skeleton and practised their bandaging skills! Chloe said: "The children thoroughly enjoyed the talk and they asked so many great questions! A group of students stayed throughout their break and lunch to ask more questions between the sessions. "I was told that during their year six leavers' assembly, one of the children said he would like to be a vet or vet nurse as a result of my careers talk." #DaviesVeterinarySpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus

Is your cat a superhero? 🐱🦸♀️   We are urgently looking to recruit cat blood donors who can help save the lives of pets like Nugget. 🩸👇   Nugget came to Davies Veterinary Specialists struggling with severe anaemia. The percentage of red blood cells in her bloodstream was critically low, having dropped to 8% (a healthy range is 27-50%). This meant that Nugget didn’t have the necessary red blood cells to deliver enough oxygen to her brain and the tissues around her body – a potentially life-threatening situation.   Thankfully, due to the generosity of cat blood donors, we were able to provide Nugget with a life-saving blood transfusion to increase her red blood cell count immediately. With additional treatment for the underlying diseases causing her anaemia, Nugget is now back on four paws and has made a full recovery. 🐾   To learn more about Feline Blood Donors, click here >> https://ow.ly/p9fL50THKU9 If your cat could help out a pet in need like Nugget, call us on 01582 883950 for more information.   #DaviesVetSpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus #PetBloodDonor
