๐Ÿšจ PET PARENT CHECK: Is your furry friend suddenly scratching, licking, or biting at their skin?

Donโ€™t ignore those little signs. ๐Ÿ‘€

Redness, hair loss, flaky skin, scabs, sores, or persistent itching can all point to a skin issueโ€”and the cause isnโ€™t always obvious.

๐Ÿฑ Allergies

Dr. Simon knows firsthand how worrying skin problems can be for pet parents. His own dog, Pepper, experienced skin issues as a young dog, so he understands just how important it is to recognise the signs early. โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Weโ€™ve broken down common skin conditions in dogs and cats, including signs, treatment, and prevention tips. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Theyโ€™re eating. Playing. Sleeping normally. Still excited to see you.

Nothing seems wrong.

And thatโ€™s exactly what we hope for. ๐Ÿงก

An annual health check isnโ€™t only for when your pet is sick. It gives us a chance to see how theyโ€™re going when theyโ€™re well, understand whatโ€™s normal for your pet, and notice changes that can be difficult to spot at home.

During a check-up, your vet is taking in much more than you might realise.

We listen to their heart and lungs, check their teeth and gums, look at their eyes, ears and skin, feel their abdomen and joints, check their weight and body condition, and talk with you about how things have been at home.

Because sometimes the first changes are small.

Drinking a little more than usual.
Taking longer to get up.
A little weight gained or lost.
Bad breath thatโ€™s gradually become familiar.
A small lump hidden under all that fur.

Or perhaps nothing has changed at all โ€” and thatโ€™s useful to know too.

Regular checks help us build a picture of whatโ€™s normal for your pet over time. If something does change later, we have a better understanding of where they started.

Theyโ€™re also a chance to talk about the little things youโ€™ve wondered about โ€” food, teeth, behaviour, mobility, parasite protection, or simply whether something your pet does is normal.

And if youโ€™ve just realised itโ€™s been a while since your petโ€™s last check-up, thatโ€™s okay. Life gets busy.

We can simply pick things up from here.

The aim isnโ€™t to wait until something is wrong. Itโ€™s to help keep them feeling well for as long as we can. ๐Ÿพ

If youโ€™re not sure what your pet is due for, just ask us. Weโ€™re always happy to help you work it out.

They're scratching less.

The eye looks better.

The wound seems to be healing.

So itโ€™s completely reasonable to wonder why your vet has asked to see them again.

Feeling better and being fully recovered aren't always the same thing.

A recheck lets us see whether the treatment has actually done what we wanted it to do and whether it's safe to stop, needs a little longer, or needs to change.

Take an ear infection.

Your dog may stop scratching once the inflammation settles, but looking back inside the ear and sometimes checking another sample can tell us whether the underlying problem has actually resolved.

The same principle can apply to skin problems, wounds, eye conditions, ongoing illnesses and many other treatments.

Rechecks also give you a chance to tell us what happened at home.

What improved?
What didn't?
Was giving the medication difficult?
Did something new happen?

That information matters.

๐Ÿพ Think of a recheck as finishing the conversation we started at the first visit.

If we've asked to see your pet again, there should be a reason. And if you're not sure what we're checking for, please ask us โ€” we're happy to explain.

Meet Arlow the Ragdoll ๐Ÿพ

Arlow dropped into our clinic to receive his Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) vaccination as he now explores the outdoors!

If unvaccinated Arlow could had been at risk of contracting FIV, which is spread through cat fights!

FIV attacks the feline immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections. Although cats infected with FIV may appear normal for years, they eventually suffer from immune deficiency, which allows normally harmless bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi found in the everyday environment to potentially cause severe illnesses!

Does your cat explore your backyard or socialise with other cats? If so give us a call so we get them covered against FIV! ๐Ÿฆ

Little Rex got up to a bit of mischiefโ€ฆ eating something he shouldnโ€™t have!

Luckily his owner found him in the nick of time and gave us a call! Rushing him down for emergency induced emesis (or vomiting).

Once the contents of Rexโ€™s stomach was vomited up and the foreign material located he spent some time with Nurse Tiana! Receiving anti-nausea medication and cuddles ๐Ÿพ

Rex promised he wouldnโ€™t eat anything naughty again!

๐Ÿพ A tiny tick can become a BIG problem.

Paralysis ticks can make pets seriously unwell, and some of the early signs can be surprisingly easy to miss.

A change in your petโ€™s bark or meow, a wobbly walk, excessive drooling, vomiting or difficulty breathing can all be signs of tick paralysis.

Knowing what to look for means you can recognise when something isnโ€™t right and get help quickly.

Weโ€™ve put together a simple guide covering:
๐Ÿพ the signs of tick paralysis
๐Ÿพ how to check your pet for ticks
๐Ÿพ what to do if you find one
๐Ÿพ how to help protect your pet
