Wright & Morten offers the very best facilities and treatment for your pet, at both branch surgeries in Congleton and Wilmslow, and of course at the Veterinary Hospital in Macclesfield We are proud to be an RCVS accredited Small Animal Hospital.
Macclesfield
Veterinary Hospital
Macclesfield
Veterinary Hospital
Wright
& Morten is a three centre practice. Our main branch is at our
Macclesfield Veterinary Hospital, with branches at Congleton and Wilmslow.
We also have an equine clinic at Somerford, near Congleton.
|
Our
Macclesfield base is a fully approved Veterinary
Hospital, with full
surgical facilities, two kennel blocks, laboratory, isolation and critical
care facilities. Our branches
have a more modest level of facilities, allowing us to perform all routine
and minor operations, such as speys, lump removals, dentistry and minor
trauma repair. More complex
cases, including orthopaedic operations, cases requiring hospitalisation,
and X rays are referred to the Macclesfield Wright & Morten
hospital. |
 |
Our branches
therefore offer you, as a client, the more personal nature of a smaller
practice, coupled with top quality hospital facilities.
We have a total
of five dedicated companion-animal
vets, providing a breadth of expertise
impossible in smaller practices. We all have individual interests: within
the practice we have vets
interested in orthopaedics (bone surgery), general surgery, behaviour,
medical disorders, small furries, acupuncture, homoeopathy. We also
have visiting specialists in dermatology and cardiology.
 |
Our size as a practice allows us to purchase more modern technology, the cost being spread over many more cases than in smaller practices. Our 'toys' include flexible endoscopes, X rays, ultrasonic scanners, ECG, anaesthetic monitoring equipment, and dental work-station. Our laboratory includes an automatic analyser, which can give us blood and blood electrolyte results within 30 minutes of the sample being collected, allowing prompt effective treatment. We also have an automatic X ray developer, giving us high quality plates within 4 minutes. |
It is there for
us to see a poorly pet at night, have full blood results and X rays
within 30 minute, so that surgery can be undertaken without delay. |
|
We offer a full 24 hour emergency service with a veterinary nurse in
attendance day and night, along with a duty vet available around the
clock. Your hospitalised pet will not be
'shoved in a cage overnight and not seen until the morning', but will
receive round-the clock nursing according to its needs.
It is not only your pets that we treat at Wright & Morten - this is a
serotine bat which was brought into the Macclesfield Hospital for a few
days tlc before being released back into the wild:
Wright & Morten have also teamed up with an animal physiotherapist, Anne
Sweeney MCSP SRP ACPAT, for more details on equine physiotherapy

animal factsheet. Anne can be contacted via our surgeries or

Purchasing a
new puppy or kitten is an exciting occasion, but it can also be a bit
daunting if you have not owned one before. We can advise you at all stages of pet ownership. This can include suitable sources, as well as on steps you can take to ensure that you buy only a fit and healthy animal.

We recommend that you bring your new pet to us within 48 hours of purchase, so that any problems can be identified at this stage before you become too attached. At this time we can explain all about diet, worming, vaccination and the like. |
Wright & Morten have produced a comprehensive set of Wright
& Morten factsheets on puppies and companion animals for you to

Pet insurance
We strongly recommend that you insure your puppy, particularly during the first 12 months of life. This is the time that they get into all sorts of mischief and are most likely to injure themselves. We are happy to recommend the Pet Plan company and offer advice within the terms of the Financial Services Act, which now covers pet insurance. We can organise 4 weeks of insurance free of charge at the time of initial puppy and kitten vaccinations.

Considering
downsizing?
The
keeping of small pets has never been more popular. As we all get busier, so many people are finding that they
simply do not have the time to look after a pet dog. One alternative is the more independent cat, but had you considered
a rabbit, a guinea pig or a rodent?
Rabbits make excellent companions (consider how they
live in the wild – ever seen a single bunny?) and are becoming ever more
popular pets. They are not
simple pets to keep, and are better suited to the adult owner than their
traditional role as the children’s pet. They benefit from access to an outdoor run, but are happy to live
indoors and can be easily trained to use a litter tray and not to chew
cables.
For further information, contact the Houserabbit
Association at http://www.houserabbit.co.uk/.
Guinea pigs are less delicate than rabbits and may
make a suitable alternative for younger pet owners.
Fancy rats and mice come with all sorts of different
coat types and are active, intelligent animals. They can make great pets for children and adults, and will
learn to follow intricate mazes which you make for them. They are more likely top be active during the day when you
want to play with them than nocturnal hamsters and gerbils, which can be
grumpy if disturbed when they are sleeping during the day.

& Morten companion animal factsheets - this also includes links
