🥳 What a lovely early Christmas gift!🥳![]()
We were over the moon to have won multiple categories in the Burgess Pet Care and the Burgess Excel Vet Awards 2023; and this year we are again finalists - including the wonderful Gemma! 🤩![]()

We have been informed that Burgess received the highest number of entries to date, and that nominations were all of an extremely high standard; which is GREAT news because it means that the standard of Rabbit, Guinea Pig and other small mammal veterinary care is continuing to improve, grow and be recognised, which is what we advocate for as a practice dedicated to proving individualised care to exotic species. 🐰🐹🐭![]()

Our whole team work so hard to be able to provide the best care for our rabbit patients and we are all so thrilled to not only receive awards for vet and support staff but also for the practice as a whole! 🥰

Yesterday Sunny☀️the baby Leopard Tortoise came in for a new pet check with Dr Catherine! 🐢 Leopard Tortoises are actually the fourth largest species of tortoise on the planet! Sunny has quite a bit of growing to do! 🥹 His owners have started off on a great foot; having already done lots of research, confirmed the correct husbandry and health requirements with an exotic vet and checking for parasites! ![]()
Regular checks mean that we can ensure that Sunny is growing at the correct rate and that he is happy and healthy throughout his long life! 💜![]()

Did you know that all basic tortoise care elements are covered in our Reptile Wellness Plan? Where you can pay a small amount each month, to cover vet consults, nurse clinics, parasite treatment, supplementation and more! ![]()

Happy International Day of Veterinary Medicine! 🐾![]()
Today, please join us in celebrating the incredible contributions of the veterinary community as a whole; but especially those dedicated to exotic animal care - because we are a bit biased! 😘 ![]()
Whether it is providing dedicated outstanding out-of-hours care to our exotic patients, advising other vets on how to diagnose tricky conditions to performing life-saving surgeries on rabbits and other small furies, Catherine does an amazing job as our head vet! Her compassion, dedication and expertise is plain to see everyday! 🩺![]()
She leads a small but mighty team of passionate nurses, care assistants, receptionists and support staff, who together work tirelessly to provide the best care to animals of all sizes and species! 🐍🦉🦎🦜🐀🐟🐰![]()
If you would like to join us in saying a big THANK YOU to Catherine and the team, we would love to see your stories in the comments.💜![]()

#InternationalDayofVeterinaryMedicine
The lovely Milo was back in clinic for some repairs on his bottom beak, which has been chipping off due to a vertical split! ❤️![]()
Using a brief gas anaesthetic Dr Catherine was able to burr the beak to better match the missing area, as well as create a reinforcement, to help stop the vertical split growing downwards. ![]()
Milo was in great hands with Alwen the nurse, and recovered brilliantly; proudly showing off his new beak accessory to anyone that passed by! 🥳
