my task over easter day was to create this contingency plan for when we run out of PPE as we are likely to donate all ours to the local hospital very soon. if others have not done this then it may be of use. some of it is specific to our current way of working . i cannot seem to upload it here so i will send it to debi and hopefully she can have…[Read more]

Some fantastic news! The Government has introduced landmark new legislation to tackle the low-welfare, high volume supply of puppies and kittens, by banning their commercial third-party sale in England

I’ve just seen a Facebook post from the practice I have my dog registered with. They are fortunate to have a relatively large car park with additional on road parking outside so have built a wooden gazebo in the car park for routine / straightforward dog consults. Appreciate not everyone will have the space but thought the idea was worth sharing.…[Read more]

Anyone got any good places to advertise a new Practice Manager role? VPMG and linkedin already running it but anywhere else appreciated? this person may be coming from outside the industry and I’ve lived in the vet world too long I don’t know where to try!!!!
Indeed.com definitely worth a go Ben. Students at Bristol careers fair last week said they are going to this site to look for vet jobs as well as Vet Times!
Thinking along the same lines as indeed, I wonder if reed.co.uk might be worth a go too?

We had a very busy day at Bristol Vet School last Friday! I’d like to say a huge thank you to Julian, Imogen, Lorna and Jemima from Langport and Street Vets, Scott Vets and Axe Valley Vets who came to help me on the day, the extra bodies were well needed, we didn’t stop all day! We have contact details for over 60 final year students who are all…[Read more]

Is anyone using Ezyvet PMS and NVS? I’m working with a new start up practice and they’re making final decisions about wholesaler/PMS any comments / feedback on the integration between NVS and Ezyvet system would be most appreciated.
Many thanks
Sarah

Evening everyone, I’m desperate for 50mg Palladia, does anyone have a box knocking around on their shelves?? Cost price paid plus delivery. Dog is facing Euthanasia without it 🙁 Many Thanks, Mari
Hi Mari
Keith, Ashley and myself are at VMG /SPVS conference – we’ll do our best to get an announcement at the gala dinner this evening to see if anyone can help.
Sarah
Sarah that would be amazing!! Surely someone has a lone bottle needing a new home. Mari
They’re going to do an announcement Mari, fingers crossed. I’ll keep you posted. Zoetis are here to but not managed to track them down so hoping they might be able to help when they hear. Are there supply problems?Sarah
Rutland house have some in stock Mari. Janie from the practice will call you first thing in the morning. They’ll need you to send a px over and they’ll do their best to get it to you Monday. Success! Hope the dog is ok xx
@sarah-kick when I spoke to you on Saturday morning you said you had multiple people offering Palladia – did anyone say they had 15mg Palladia? NVS ordering website show them in stock so I ordered them on Friday they have now put these to Backorder despite still showing in stock. I have received the 50mg from Rutland house but not 15mg and the dog…[Read more]
Yes we were hoping to start treatment on Monday. Thank you so much!
Mari
That’s amazing news!! Thank you Sarah so very much!! I look forward to their call this morning x
Just as an update – Rutland House are able to supply us with the prescription we need. Thank you so much to all involved, an impossible task without your dedication. Much Appreciated – Mari

I’m on the case! I believe Alphapet might have some. The ordering nurse was at lunch when I called, I’m expecting a callback within the hour and will try the other practices I spoke to. I’ll let you know ASAP.
Thanks Sarah, I know beggars can’t be choosers but if ther’s anyone even remotely clos to us then I can go and collect it x
I hear all sorted Mari? That’s brilliant news 🙂
I have spoken to the Zoetis technical vet and the have advised a slightly lower starting dose of 70mg and can provide us with 2x boxes of 10mg tomorrow to go alongside the 50mg tabs from Rutland House

Who routinely does follow up phone calls post op to clients to check how the patient is? Interesting post on FB from my dog walker – this one simple gesture from the practice led to her writing a glowing report about them. I wonder how many of her dog walking clients will switch vets due to this post! The small things do matter 😄
