Well done to 10 year old Loca who has recently lost 2 kg on her diet.

Welcome Back Diane We are so pleased to have you back on the front line at the Morley hospital. Last April she received the devastating news she had cancer, which was picked up during routine screening. After two surgical procedures, six rounds of chemotherapy, 15 sessions of radiotherapy and an inspiringly positive attitude she has been given the all clear to return to work. Diane, on the left is pictured with some of the other familiar faces from the Morley reception team, Tracey, Debbie and Heather.

Do any of your pets enjoy being out in the snow? We would love to see some pictures of them having fun?

Today is World Spay Day The idea of World Spay Day is to shine a light on the problem of overpopulation of dogs and cats globally. Neutering doesn’t just prevent unwanted pregnancies and the difficulty of finding suitable home for litters, but neutering can improve your pets health as it prevents diseases and certain cancers. Neutering, spaying and castration are generally day patient procedures and in most cases pets recover in a few days, although they need closely monitoring and exercise restricting for 7-10 days. Neutering myths • Overfeeding and under exercising is the biggest cause of obesity. The health benefits of neutering make it important still to neuter and all pets weight needs closely monitoring, before and after neutering however neutered pets do require less food. • Neutering won’t change your pets personality. However some behaviours linked to hormones may be impacted. If you have an aggressive dog then it is definitely worth talking to a trained behaviourist or veterinary surgeon before using castration to help deal with the aggression as it is probably not the answer. • Changes to Kennel Club regulations say that neutered pedigree dogs can be still be shown.
