🐾 Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
📅 8th August – the day we officially honour the true rulers of our homes... our feline overlords 😸

They may walk to the beat of their own purr, but cats bring so much joy, comfort, and even health benefits to our lives. From their soothing purrs to their quirky antics (zoomies at 3am, anyone?), life with a cat is never boring.

While they may act independent, cats thrive with good nutrition, regular health checks, dental care, and of course… their staff’s undivided attention. 🐱💼

Remember:
👉 Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
(... and yes, you are doing a good job, hooman)

At Bicton Veterinary Clinic, we’re proud to care for cats of all shapes, sizes, and cattitudes – from playful kittens to our wise senior felines. If it’s been a while since your cat's last vet visit, International Cat Day is the purr-fect reminder to book a check-up!

💜 Wishing all the fabulous felines out there a pawsitively purr-fect International Cat Day!🐾🩵

🎉🐴 Happy Horse Birthday! 🐴🎉
August 1st is a special day in the equine world — it’s the official birthday of all horses in the Southern Hemisphere!

While most horses don’t know the date, this tradition plays an important role in the world of breeding, racing, and equestrian sports. By standardising age classes, August 1st helps ensure fairness and consistency across competitions — from young foals just starting out to seasoned veterans enjoying their golden years.

Even if your horse’s actual birthday falls on another date, today is a great reason to celebrate with an extra treat or a little time in the sun. 🌿🍏

It’s also a timely reminder to check in on your horse’s general health and wellbeing:
✔️ Are their teeth in good condition?
✔️ Are their vaccinations and worming up to date?
✔️ How’s their diet, body condition, and coat as we move through winter?
✔️ Are their hooves healthy and well-trimmed?

Whether your horse is part of a sporting team, a paddock companion, or a beloved backyard buddy, good care is key to a long, happy life.

So give them an affectionate pat, maybe an apple or two (or a slice of carrot cake if they’re lucky!) and raise a toast to the joy, strength, and spirit of horses everywhere. 🐎❤️

Happy Birthday to all the horses out there — from everyone at Bicton Veterinary Clinic.

🔹 Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth – Yes, It’s Possible!

The gold standard for dental care? Brushing! With patience and the right technique, you can help your pet maintain a clean, healthy mouth between vet visits.

Top tips from Dr Kay:
• Start slow—let your pet lick pet-safe toothpaste from your finger
• Use a finger brush or pet toothbrush (never human paste!)
• Make it a daily habit after meals or during cuddle time
• Reward with praise, a game, or a dental chew

Don’t worry if brushing isn’t perfect—any attempt is better than none, and we’re here to help you get started!

⁉️Severe Dental Disease – More Than Just a Mouth Problem ❤️‍🩹

⚡️Severe dental disease can significantly impact your pet’s quality of life. It often involves:
🦷 Loose or missing teeth
♨️ Severe halitosis
😣 Abscesses, facial swelling or jaw pain
❎ Reluctance to eat or play
💤 Behavioural changes from chronic pain

More concerning, bacteria from infected gums and tooth roots can travel via the bloodstream, increasing the risk of:
💉 Kidney and liver damage
🫀 Heart valve infections
💊 Systemic inflammation

🏨Treatment requires general anaesthetic for safe, pain-free intervention. Extractions and pain relief may be necessary. ⚡️

We’re here to help your pet heal and smile again 🐶🐱

🙀 Moderate Dental Disease – When Things Start to Hurt 😿

Once tartar hardens and gums begin to pull away from the teeth, your pet may develop:
🩸Inflamed, bleeding gums
🤢Noticeable mouth odour
😶Difficulty eating or chewing
🥺Wincing when touched near the face

😖Moderate dental disease is uncomfortable—sometimes even painful. Infections may begin to enter the bloodstream at this stage, potentially affecting other organs. 🧫

We perform a thorough dental assessment and may take dental X-rays to check for hidden issues like root abscesses or bone loss.

🛑Let’s stop the damage before it gets worse.

🧐What Mild Dental Disease Looks Like in Pets 🐾
Mild dental disease often begins quietly, with subtle signs that are easy to overlook. But this is the best stage to intervene!

Here’s what to watch for:
💛 Slight yellowing or tartar on teeth
❤️ Mild redness at the gumline
🤢 Occasional bad breath
🦴 Pets avoiding hard kibble or treats

🪥 At this stage, we may recommend a scale and polish under anaesthetic to remove buildup and assess below the gumline. Left untreated, mild disease can rapidly progress.

😺 Early intervention means less pain, lower cost, and a happier pet! 💛
