**Medication repeats - Holiday edition**

We will be closed from the 25th of December - 12th of January to give our hard working staff a well earned break.
Please check any long term medication repeat requests are in before the 17th of December and you are well stocked up for the holiday period.
After this date we may not be able to order in certain medications and you may be left high and dry

The answer to our previous post:

Bladder stones! Also known as uroliths or cystic calculi
These form slowly over time due to minerals in the urine crystallising out. First forming microscopic crystals that can then go on to bind together to form stones of various sizes and chemical compositions.
The formation of crystals and stones is influenced by diet, genetics and infections. This wee pup will be going on a special diet to prevent further crystals and stones forming.

These ones are impressively large and no doubt she will feel a lot better

It’s not easy being on bed rest as a 9 month old playful puppy but Arlo and his family are nailing it. This update was too sweet not to share 🥰😍
