Hellooo Mary! I haven’t seen you or your mum for ages! My gang have missed you ❤️❤️❤️
Is that a whippet or a greyhound either way they are such gentle dogs 🐕
As veterinary professionals, we have to do a certain amount of hours 'Continued Professional Development' (CPD). This is the process of continually maintaining, improving and broadening our skills and knowledge.📚
At the start of last week, two of our RVNs, Helen and Nicky, have attended a two day course covering physiotherapy and rehabilitation. They both have come back with great reviews of the course that they can utilise in practice, and pass on their knowledge. We see a large variety of orthopaedic cases, and patients requiring physiotherapy either hospitalised or in our nurse clinics.
Each of our team has their own niche, passion and knowledge. We are always striving to achieve more as individuals and improve standards for our clients and patients.⭐️

I’m sure there 9 of us 🙄
Good Monday morning to our lovely followers.🌈
⚠️WARNING: Some graphic wound pictures⚠️
Some of you may have noticed the absence of ‘Pet of the Month’. That’s because we have a very special entry for our September slot.
We would like to introduce you to Willow.💜
Willow’s owner called our emergency line one dreary Thursday morning in July after a freak accident involving an electric reclining chair. Little Willow had managed to squeeze herself underneath, and when the chair moved, her skin ripped causing quite a severe degloving injury alongside a rectal prolapse. Due to her injuries and her state of shock, the prognosis was poor.☹️
Vet Kaitlin took the reins, assessed Willow, and discussed the options with her owners. Although they’d only had her for barely three days, they wanted to do everything they could (with her best interests at heart) to help her.
With that, Willow underwent surgery to correct her prolapse and clip, clean and suture her wound. Kaitlin really did a wonderful job during surgery (as you can see from the pictures).🙏🏻👑
There were some serious concerns for her recovery. Would she recover from her shock presentation? Could she actively pass urine or faeces? With the tension in her wound, would it even heal? Could we effectively prevent any patient interference?
Well, after 6 days hospitalised with intensive nursing care, winning the hearts of pretty much every single team member, and Kaitlin having more pictures of Willow on her phone than anything else, she is our superstar.❤️🌈 Have we ever been so happy to see a cat poo? Possibly not.💩 Willow and her wound have recovered so remarkably, to the point you can barely see where it was!😍
She came back on Friday for her very first vaccine with Kaitlin.🤗 She is getting so big, still very beautiful, and we cannot wait to keep sharing her life journey with her wonderful, and very caring, family.💖
Here’s to little Willow!💜

Little milestone this week...
Our lovely receptionist Jen has been working at E.C. Straiton & Partners for 35 years! Yes, that's right, 35 whole years.😱👏
Jen joined us in 1986 and gained her veterinary nursing qualification. She now heads up our reception team and has done for many years. She is always at the forefront of the practice and things really wouldn't look or be the same without her.
What an achievement in your loyal career Jen.🥳
Thank you for all that you do. Here's to you.🥂💚
Have a great weekend folks.🐾

‼️⚠️IMPORTANT NOTICE⚠️‼️
There is a national stock supply issue of cat vaccines.💉
As a result, we are having to put measures in place to prioritise vaccine administration, until the start of next year.
⭐️All kitten vaccinations will be going ahead.
⭐️All first-year booster vaccines will be going ahead.
⚠️Any adult cats that are due routine boosters, we are asking to lapse three months. For example, if your cat is due their vaccine on 12th October, they can safely have their booster before 12th January.
Booster reminders for cats are being stopped temporarily.
Please contact the practice with any queries.📞
Thank you.🐾

Do you know if this will impact boarding requirements at catteries at all? Thanks 🙂
I keep getting texts still off the Penkridge practice to say my cat is due to have his vaccine 10th October. Do I just ignore this ? E C Straiton & Partners
Cattery licenses state that the booster can lapse for 4 weeks. Any more then this is a breach of license. Any cattery owners need to speak to their local council x
My cat was due his routine booster at the end of July, I couldn’t get him booked in until the end of October and that has been cancelled. Is he still going to be protected?
Monday!🌈
Baby Luca is ready for the week ahead.😍
Although his owners have been asked many times, he isn't actually named after the character in the new Disney film. Are any of your pets named after a Disney character?🐭🖤
As always, we are always busy first thing on a Monday.
Please try calling later if it's not an emergency.
Have a great week, stay safe.🐾

Stark is named after Tony Stark 😁
We had Belle from Beauty and the Beast ❤️
Our Luca is named after the Suzanne Vega song about an abused little boy. Luca was an abuse and neglect case who was in the pound waiting for the prosecution to go through. The staff at the pound gave him the name.
Duggie is named after Cbeebies Hey Duggee - chosen by our 3 year old granddaughter 💝 It's Duggie's 1st birthday today and he's currently at the Penkridge practice being castrated. How guilty do I feel!! 🤦♀️💙
Yes! We adopted Mickey last new year, he had already been named by the RSPCA. We sadly lost his brother, Pluto last year but had 2 pretty girls to keep Mickey company. As the mother of 2 sons we aren’t princessey at all, but we do love The Incredibles. So we now have, Mickey, Helen and Edna! Xxx
Princess Mia is named after Mia in the Disney film Princess Diaries 🥰
Both of our dogs are- Dolly (from Toystory) and Pepper (from Ironman)
Aw we know and have met little Luca, he's gorgeous 😍 ❤
My boy 🥰
Yes our beautiful girl Nala from the Lion King 🥰
That’s our boy ❤️🐾🐾

⚠️Be vigilant when driving along the chase.🦌
(Please note; negative comments will be removed.)During the past 48 hours there have been five deer fatalities on the roads of Cannock Chase.
Please be vigilant when driving or riding in the area. We are now into rutting season and the deer will be moving greater distances and will generally be more active.
Pictured is a road traffic collision I attended last year where the driver collided with a Red hind.

We came through Brocton about 10.50 last night and saw dozens of these beautiful animals running across the road. We stopped and put our hazards on, luckily no cars coming the other way. We thought they'd all crossed safely then another 40 or 50 of them came through. Wonderful sight but scary if a car had ploughed into them. I love living where I do but do have great anxiety that I may run into them when I'm driving.
Human or deer fatalities? Either or speed needs to be reduced
A deer came out of the woods and I hit it that was 10 years ago and I still go at 30mph now through the chase I have never forgot that noise
Usually only do 30mph through the chase which of course generally is too slow for many. Golden rule we find is if a deer runs across the road others often follow. Possibly worth noting that stags become more aggressive during the rut so avoid if possible and have dogs under close control.
Please drive slowly people 🙏
👍
