If you have a dog with a sensitive stomach, you know how important it is to avoid flare ups. Avoiding flare ups might mean feeding hypoallergenic food, staying away from other foods that might trigger symptoms and being proactive with probiotics or other supplements that can help digestion. Finding out why your dog has a sensitive stomach is critical to understanding potential triggers. Our vets can help you determine what’s going on with your pet’s digestive system.

Inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that helps digest food and produces key hormones like insulin, causes a condition called pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can be either acute or chronic, with the acute form potentially leading to life-threatening disease. Symptoms include vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, lethargy, diarrhoea, inappetence and dogs stand in a ‘praying position’ to relieve discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to a successful outcome.

Coughing in older dogs is often a sign of underlying disease. Coughing is commonly caused by heart or respiratory disease, and should always be investigated by a vet. Common causes of a chronic cough include mitral valve disease, bronchitis, pulmonary oedema and heartworm disease. With an accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment can be started and result in either improvement or resolution of the condition. Don’t ignore the cough – get your pet checked and treated today.

As cats get older, their risk for certain diseases increases. One of these diseases is hyperthyroidism, usually caused by a non-cancerous growth on the thyroid gland. The most common symptoms are increased appetite, weight loss, increased thirst and urination. Cats will often also have an unkempt coat that is matted or greasy, and may experience gastrointestinal signs and hyperactivity. If you suspect your cat might have hyperthyroidism, make an appointment today.

Mitral valve disease is the most common cause of heart disease in small breed dogs. When left untreated, it can cause severe disease and even death. However, fortunately, we have plenty of excellent treatments now available. The triple therapy combination results in excellent outcomes, and if medication is started early, dogs can live long and happy lives despite having mitral valve disease. Make an appointment with one of our vets to find out how we can help your pet.

It’s not unusual for cats to vomit. Cats will occasionally vomit hairballs up, however, not all vomiting is innocent. Vomiting can either suddenly start, or be present for long periods. Cats can vomit up food, or just bile, and the regularity of vomits can tell us a lot about the potential cause. Generally, if your cat has suddenly started vomiting, has vomited many times or with just bile, or has any other symptoms such as lethargy, you should give us a call.

As cats age, their risk of kidney disease increases. Cats are particularly prone to chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it’s important we monitor for signs and symptoms to enable early treatment. The most common symptoms of CKD are increased thirst, increased urination and weight loss including muscle loss. CKD can often be picked up early on blood tests, which is why we recommend annual physical exams and blood tests for cats from 8 years of age onwards.

Cushing’s Disease, also called hyperadrenocorticism, can be caused by a mass on the adrenal or pituitary glands or from prolonged steroid use. It results in an overactive adrenal gland. This causes symptoms such as increased appetite, lethargy, hair thinning and loss and abdominal bloating. Depending on the cause, dogs with Cushing’s Disease can be treated with either hormone therapy or surgery. If you notice any unusual changes in your dog, contact the clinic today.
