Arthritis in dogs doesn’t always look like obvious limping. 🦴 In fact, the early signs can be surprisingly subtle. You might notice your dog is slower to get up in the morning, reluctant to jump into the car, or less enthusiastic about walks.

Some dogs become quieter or seem a little grumpy. These small changes are easy to miss or chalk up to ‘just getting older’, but early detection means earlier treatment and a longer, happier life. 🐕

Book a consultation with our team if you’ve noticed any changes in your dog’s mobility.

Have you noticed a bluish haze developing over your older pet’s eyes? 👀

In many cases, this is a normal age-related change called lenticular sclerosis - a hardening of the lens that commonly affects pets over the age of seven. It’s not medically concerning; however, a similar-looking process, cataracts, can lead to vision impairment and often requires treatment.

If you’ve noticed any changes to your pet’s eyes, please contact us to arrange a check-up with our vets. 🔎

With lots of fun, interactive pet toys now on the market, we’d like to remind owners about the potential dangers of button batteries. 🔋

If swallowed, button batteries can unfortunately cause electrical burns to your pet’s throat, oesophagus or gut, even if they weren’t punctured. ⚠️

Help keep your pet safe by:
✓ Ensuring any battery-operated toy you purchase is solidly made with a screw-secured battery compartment
✓ Only offering your pet access to battery-operated items under direct supervision, and removing toys if they start to chew at them

For more information on safe toys for your pet, consult our play-proficient team. Contact our clinic for advice. 📞

While many pet owners are familiar with pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) in dogs, pancreatitis that occurs in cats can unfortunately fly under the radar! 🐱

This is because while some cats with pancreatitis demonstrate more obvious symptoms of unwellness (such as vomiting), many cases may present more subtly with only non-specific symptoms such as lethargy.

Additionally, feline pancreatitis often doesn’t show up on routine blood tests or abdominal X-rays either! ⚠️

If your feline friend isn’t well, rest assured that our experienced team will work hard to support your pet and get to the bottom of their problem ASAP! 📞 Contact our clinic to arrange a consultation.

Mabel the 17-week-old Australian Bulldog puppy came in for a check-up with one of our vets, and she was simply too cute not to share!

She was a bit unsure at first but such a sweet little soul with beautiful manners! We love watching our puppy patients grow and helping them get the best start in life.

Thanks for visiting Mabel, we look forward to seeing you next time!

Did you know that your pet’s blood electrolyte balance can get out of whack when they’re unwell? 💧

Common causes of electrolyte imbalances include:
• Vomiting and/or diarrhoea
• Dehydration
• Kidney disease

Unfortunately, these electrolyte imbalances can make your pet feel even more unwell.

The good news? We can assess your pet’s electrolyte levels with blood tests, and can then help rebalance them with targeted fluid therapy via an intravenous drip! 🩺

For help supporting your pet through unwellness, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. Book a consultation with our vets. 📞 Water you waiting for?

Could you recognise the signs of dehydration in your pet? 💧

Symptoms of dehydration include:
✅ Passing urine less frequently or in smaller amounts, particularly if it’s dark yellow and concentrated
✅ Having sticky or dry gums
✅ Losing skin elasticity, which can be checked by gently pinching up some skin over your pet’s scruff and then releasing it, and noting whether the skin retracts back into place more slowly than usual
✅ In more severe cases, developing sunken eyes or lethargy 🐶

If you suspect your pet is becoming dehydrated and unwell, it’s best to book a prompt check-up with one of our vets. 📞

We’ve seen some creative problem solving over the years… but this one definitely stood out!

These determined owners were having trouble keeping their pet’s e-collars on their 3 dogs after surgery, so they brought out the duct tape. And you know what? It worked!
By the time it came to suture removal, the e-collars had certainly seen better days!

While they may look small, cat bite wounds unfortunately have a pretty big chance of becoming severely infected! 🐱

This is because: ⚠️
• Cats have bacteria in their mouths that can cause nasty soft tissue infections, such as Pasteurella
• Their sharp teeth act like needles, puncturing deep into the skin and carrying bacteria in with them
• The small puncture wounds heal over quickly, trapping the bacteria inside and creating the perfect environment for them to thrive

If your cat has been in a fight and now seems sore or lethargic, it’s safest to have them checked over by our feline-friendly team. 📞 Contact our clinic to book a consultation.

AHDS is an old problem with a new name! ⚠️

AHDS (Acute Haemorrhagic Diarrhoea Syndrome), previously known as HGE (haemorrhagic gastroenteritis), refers to a condition where dogs suddenly develop severe gut upset, often involving bloody diarrhoea +/- vomiting.

These poor pets can become dehydrated very quickly and may go into potentially life-threatening cardiovascular shock without adequate veterinary treatment. 💧

If your dog ever develops profuse or bloody diarrhoea, or has an upset tummy and seems very lethargic, it’s recommended to have them assessed and treated promptly by our caring team. Contact our clinic to arrange a consultation. 📞
