Welcome to Black Sheep Vets in Louth!
All the very best for 2010!!!
We are a modern small
animal orientated veterinary practice on the Fairfield Estate in Louth, Lincolnshire.
Owned and run by veterinary
surgeon Richard Carter, and assisted by Karla, Ruth, Becky and Hayley we can offer a personal professional
service for you and your pet.
Puppy Classes
The Louth And District dog club hold puppy socialisation classes
at the surgery every Wednesday evening from 7pm. For further details please contact Mrs Carol Mortimer on 01507 327612
With the snow and freezing temperatures please remember insulation for animals kept in hutches outdoors and also remember
that water bowls may be frozen and the ice needs breaking or removing on a regular basis.
Lily
poisoning in cats:
All parts of lilies are extremely toxic to cats causing severe kidney damage very
quickly. The most common forms of poisoning is either the cat eating the leaves or flowers or brushing past the plant and
getting pollen on the coat. It is recommended that the stamens of flowers should be removed if you feel you have to have lilies
in the house but the safest is to have the plants out of reach of any cat. Cats coming into contact with pollen or eating
parts is an emergency.
Antifreeze poisoning in dogs and cats:
One of the new ways
pets are being exposed to anti-freeze which they like is where people have added anti-freeze to indoor fountains or water
features. If your pet is behaving 'drunk', think antifreeze and again this is an emergency..
Flea
treatment poisoning in cats:
We have recently had a very sad case of where the owner of the cat treated
her dog with a flea product which is known to be dangerous to cats and the cat licked the dog when grooming, got poisoned
and died. Please do not use these products - there are much safer alternatives that also work much better. Please contact
the vet for further details..

At our practice, we pride ourselves on our client and patient service. We use safe and proven procedures such as propofol
and isoflorane anaesthesia. Black Sheep Vets has a well equipped surgery offering xray, endoscope, ultrasound and in-house
laboratory facilities for prompt investigations and treatment.
We do house calls but we usually
find the best treatment is provided if we see the patient at the practice. House calls will be arranged
between 2pm to 4 pm or after 6pm. If your pet has an emergency and you cannot get to the surgery and we
cannot leave the practice, we would recommend R & S Pet Taxi (Richard) at 01507 604194, Mobile 07711 501 797 who may be
able to collect and return your pet.
