Did you know that cats affected by arthritis usually won’t limp? 🐈

Instead, these creaky kitties will often show more subtle symptoms, such as:
🦴 A reduced ability to self-groom, which may lead to changes in their coat condition or cleanliness
🦴 Difficulty squatting for toileting, which may lead to occasional misfires out of the litter tray
🦴 Hesitancy prior to jumping down or up

If you notice any of these signs in your mature feline friend, have a chat with us regarding easy options for supporting joint health and comfort.

Did you know that the prominence of your pet’s eyes can change due to certain conditions? 👀

A dog’s or cat’s eyes may become more sunken or deeper set:
✅ As they age and lose some of the fatty tissue behind their eyeballs
✅ If they become very dehydrated
✅ If they have a painful eye condition that causes reflex retraction of the eyeball
✅ If they develop a nerve condition called Horner’s syndrome

If you spot any changes in your pet’s eyes, it’s always best to have our eye-sperienced vets take a look!

A single vomit in an otherwise bright dog isn't always alarming. 🐾 However, multiple vomits, or vomiting accompanied by other symptoms, are a cause for concern.

If you observe multiple vomits, lethargy, blood or abdominal pain, contact the clinic for advice. Vomiting can be caused by an infection, toxins, foreign objects or underlying disease, and shouldn’t be ignored. 📅 Arrange a consultation with our vets if you're concerned.

If your dog has eaten something toxic, stay calm and act quickly. ⚠️ Identify what they ate, how much, and when, as this is critical information for your vet. Do not induce vomiting at home unless directed by a vet.

Common toxins include chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, xylitol, certain plants and human medications.

Call the clinic immediately, or the Animal Poisons Helpline after hours. 🚨

Cats are really good at hiding illness, including dehydration. 🐱 At the clinic, we assess hydration by looking for skin tenting (how quickly tented skin springs back) and gum dryness. Blood and urine tests give a more accurate picture.

At home, watch for reduced water intake, decreased urination, lethargy or dry gums, and call us if concerned. Chronic dehydration in cats can affect kidney health over time. 💧 Contact our clinic if you're worried your cat may be dehydrated.

PCV (Packed Cell Volume) measures the proportion of red blood cells in your pet's blood. TP (Total Protein) helps assess hydration, nutrition and organ function. 🩺 Together, these values give us a rapid snapshot of your pet's health. For example, a low PCV may indicate anaemia, while a high PCV can suggest dehydration.

Best of all, we can run these tests in-house within minutes, making them invaluable in sick or emergency patients. 📋 Contact our clinic if your pet needs to be assessed.

These fluffy little bundles were full of cuddles, wagging tails, and puppy kisses during their big milestone visit. We can’t wait to watch them grow!

In severe cases it can become obstipation, requiring urgent treatment.
