Perry’s
(Ron’s) Rehabilitation
June – Dec 2011
Convalescence
Ron as had the pellet removed from his pectoral
muscles – a bigger job than it looked!
An hour under anaesthesia and several x-rays
later we got it out! He was a bit sore afterwards,
but recovered well. By this stage he still
had not re-grown his flight feathers. Examining
the damage from the pellet, we decided to
let him regain his strength in the pen.
Luckily
for Ron, he has been given a female peregrine
to keep him company – and he seems
very happy with his new ‘girlfriend’.

| Tabitha
Sadly, out practice cat, Tabitha, had to be
put to sleep in September. We ran a myriad
of test, which all turned out to be negative.
We treated her with supportive drugs, but
when the diagnosis a bone marrow related leukaemia
was made, we knew it was only a matter of
time. We put her to sleep the day she did
not want to eat her food anymore. She was
only two years old and was much loved by many
clients. She is very much missed by all of
us. |

Garden
Jim Newell has worked magic in our garden
around the surgery! Not only do we now have
a special dandelion patch (fresh leaves for
rabbit and guinea pig inpatients), we also
have a new extended parking lot as well as
beautiful flower beds in the front. Well done
Jim – what a fantastic effort! |

Charity
Dog Walk 3 July 2011
We held our 2nd annual charity dog walk
in aid of Eden Valley Hospice on Sunday
the 3rd of july 2011. As usual, we had great
fun, and hope to top our fundraising from
last year for the hospice.
Dogs and walkers did really well in the
heat – even though some of us got
really sunburnt. There is a good reason
for having fur when the sun is shining!
And
yet not everyone had a dog … look
closely at the picture: Mrs Dorothy Blyth
is walking a ‘virtual’ dog and
she raised almost £200 in sponsorship!
Dorothy and her virtual dog raised the odd
eyebrow and many smiles along the way.
Thank you again to all our sponsors, and
PCSO Colin, who helped make this event so
rewarding for all.
We
presented Eden Valley Hospice with a cheque
for £1830.00 this year – all
raised by Falcon Vet supporters. Well done
everyone!
