Having your big desexing procedure with a buddy to wake up with is much more fun. ❤️

These little puppies from Waggin Tails Animal Rescue had desexing procedures before they go off to their fur-ever homes.

Meet Poppy. This innocent little face got caught in a spot of bother recently, when her antics of trying to get to the cat food bowl saw her break her 2 front teeth 🦷

Her owner discovered the incident after she heard a yelp, found a knocked over bowl and a few spots of blood from Poppy's mouth.

Under anaesthetic, we took radiographs of the broken teeth to make sure there was no fractures to the teeth below the gum line that would make extraction more difficult. Fortunately, the roots were whole and extracted uneventfully.

Poppy has recovered well, but "all she wants for Christmas is her 2 front teef".

Trips to the vet can be scary, let alone for our feline friends, who often prefer secluded silence at home over social outtings and VET VISITS. This experience can be even more stressful when they feel unwell.... 🙀

Feliway is a product used to help reduce stress and anxiety in cats. It contains Feline Facial Pheremone- the pheromone a cat releases when it rubs its face on you and your furniture to signify this is a safe and happy place. Feliway mimics this pheremone and creates a sense of familiarty and security in cats which helps them to recognise new spaces as a safe and comfortable place. 😻

We have recently introduced a Feliway program to the clinic to help support cats in this stressful situation, involving the use of Feliway diffusers in the waiting room, consult rooms and our dedicated cat ward. In addition, we provide cat owners on arrival with a feliway infused cat carrier cover to place over the carrier that can help encase the cat in calming pheromones whilst also creating a darkened environment. 😸

Next time you have an appointment with your kitty, come in first and see our friendly reception staff to get the Feliway infused cat carrier cover to place over the carrier before bringing your cat into the clinic. Once you have finished your appointment and returned your cat to the car, bring the cover back in so we can wash it and get it infused for the next Kitty. 😺😽

We also hope to have some covers for sale shortly, so you could even start this de-stressing and relaxing process at home BEFORE their visit which starts with that scary car ride! 🚗 😿

Entropian in Lambs 🐑👁

Entropion in lambs is a common disorder where the lower eyelid (and sometimes the upper eyelid) rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea. This can lead to irritation, corneal ulceration, and even blindness if left untreated. It's often noticed by excessive tearing or squinting in the first few weeks of life and of it has been rubbing significantly, the cornea may be damaged with an ulcer.

Little Andy was orphaned and his care givers noticed this condition with his lower eyelid. So we did what is known as a temporary tack, which means we rolled the lower eyelid out and held it with some sutures. This eleviates the irritation and gives Andy a bit of time for his face to grow into his skin. Often there is no need for permanent surgery as seen here, 2 weeks later, his eyelids were sitting perfectly normal. Nurse Alana gave him lovely cuddles after his procedure.

Lambing season is seeing some sick little lambs come into the clinic to see us for many reasons. 🐑
Some lambs are orphaned due to the Mum being unwell or unable to support 2 or more lambs.
We often see the lambs cold and dehydrated. Sometimes with scours from a change to a powdered diet. Fortunately we can help these guys by supplying warmth and rehydrating them.
Dr Gen helped this little lamb to recover from a bad start to life but now the little lamb is thriving!!
