Introduction to the Midforest Veterinary Practice

Established in 1987 our Practice offers veterinary care for companion pets, equine and farm animals. We have 2 surgeries, one in Lyndhurst, the other in West Totton (please see maps overleaf). We have full operating and X-Ray facilities, in-house laboratories, endoscopy and ultrasonography.

The Practice covers an area that reaches from Sway to Romsey and the western edges of Southampton.

In addition to being a traditional Veterinary Practice providing preventative health care and treatment for sick animals, our nurses and receptionists are on hand to offer advice on diets, flea treatments dental care and worming. To this end we will always endeavour to stock the latest and most effective products available.

Pet Health Counselling
We have qualified veterinary nurses at each centre who can give free advice on disease prevention, in particular obesity problems and dental care. This applies especially to older pets. Puppy parties and nurse clinics are held regularly - call our surgeries for further information.

Useful Information

Vaccinations
Dogs should be vaccinated annually against Distemper, Parvo, Hepatitis and Leptospirosis. They should also be wormed at least every 6 months, preferably 3 monthly, especially if they are in contact with children.

Puppies should start their vaccinations from 6 weeks of age onwards with a second injection at 12 weeks.

Cats should be vaccinated annually against Cat Flu, Enteritis and Feline Leukaemia virus and wormed every 3-6 months.

Kittens should start their vaccinations from 9 weeks of age with a second vaccination 3 weeks later.

Rabbits should be vaccinated against Myxomatosis from 6 weeks of age. Vaccination against HVD (haemorrhagic viral diarrhoea) may also be advised in some cases.

Horses should be vaccinated against Tetanus once every two years and ideally against Flu every year.

DENTAL CARE - CATS AND DOGS
One of the most common diseases of cats and dogs of adult age is inflamed gums from dirty teeth. Ask your Vet or Veterinary Nurse about what can be done.

WHAT SHOULD I FEED MY PET?
We carry a high quality range of foods designed to give optimum health for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, whatever their age.
