๐ฆ Found a fledgling bird? Please don't "rescue" it! ๐ฆ![]()
In the past few weeks, our ARMAC team have seen many healthy young birds being brought into the practice by well-meaning members of the public. In most cases, these birds don't need rescuingโthey're fledglings, and being on the ground is a completely normal part of learning to fly. ![]()
For more information regarding what to do please click on the link below: ![]()

If they are in danger; eg on the road or out in the open, please carefully pick them up and move them to a sheltered area near by. Please only bring them to us if they are injured or in real need of veterinary assistance. ![]()
Thank you ๐ฆ

What a fantastic weekend it was for the Armac team!![]()
On Saturday, we were out in full force at the annual Biggar Show alongside many of our wonderful clients. With the sun shining, it couldn't have been a better day! There was plenty to keep the kids entertained, and it was lovely to catch up with so many familiar faces while enjoying some great hospitality.![]()
And the fun didn't stop there! On Sunday, we headed to A Dog's Day Out at Traquair House. Our Peebles vet, Rachel, was busy judging the companion dog classes, while our nurse, Lora, was supporting Springer Spaniel Rescue at their tombola stall.
There were lots of rosettes handed out throughout the day, including awards for the fastest sausage eater, best musical sitting, and waggiest tail! Congratulations to all our clients and their fantastic pups who took part โ we loved seeing you all there!![]()
Thanks to everyone who stopped to say hello this weekend- we are looking forward to seeing you very soon at Peebles Show!![]()
