After the announcement of another lockdown we wanted to keep you up to date on how we see the provision of veterinary services here at Coastal Vets.

For the moment, if you have an appointment booked then please assume it will be going ahead as planned, unless you hear otherwise directly from us.

We are waiting for further guidance from our regulator, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and will update you as soon as we hear. This may mean we need to reduce non-urgent appointments such as routine vaccinations and neutering as they could be classed as 'non-essential journeys'.

We feel our current level of precautions provides a safe as possible environment for you, your pets and our staff and hope this to continue during this second lockdown.

Many thanks for your patience and understanding at this time. ... See MoreSee Less

Yesterday we received two new pieces of special equipment, called bair huggers. It blows warm air that attaches to special beds and blankets keeping animals warm especially useful for animals that are recovering from surgery or having long major surgery.

Today Jet was the first to test out its capabilities and he really wanted to test it well. He arrived collapsed and so cold his temperature wasn't reading
on the thermometer. Once medically stable he was placed and wrapped up with the bair hugger on, temperature taken every 15 minutes. He soon started to warm up and within 4 hours was back to normal dog temperature of 38.1c, eating and tail wagging.

The picture is of Jet snuggled up enjoying the pocket of warmth. ... See MoreSee Less
