Meet Merlin 🐱😍

Merlin is a 10 year old, three legged cat that went missing for roughly 3 months. On the 12 June he was found behind a restaurant in Sandy Bay. The workers at this restaurant offered Merlin some milk however, he was unable to eat or drink.

One of our wonderful nurses Sarah, went down to pick him up and bring him back to the clinic to have his microchip scanned and for Dr David to look over.
Upon arrival at clinic, it was noted that Merlin was severely dehydrated and not in good condition overall. We admitted him and started subcutaneously fluids (under the skin), to rehydrate him and get him warmed up. While we were doing this we scanned his microchip and begun the search for this little mans owner.

Thankfully, after putting his microchip through the system we were able to contact his owner and let them know that he was safe and at the clinic. Least to say the owner was relived and came straight down to the clinic to reunite with her baby.

Once we had Merlin rehydrated we then took a blood sample to make sure he didn't develop any other issues. Luckily for him they came back normal and only showed he was anaemic. Before he left the clinic we managed to get him too eat a small amount of cat food which we were all very pleased about.

Fast forward to today, Merlin is doing well. He is able to walk on his own and even jump on the couch. His owner says that he has been very affectionate with her and enjoys making biscuits on her. We are all very pleased with the progress that Merlin as made and can't wait until he starts to feel even more like his normal self.

Let this be a reminder of just how important it is to microchip your pets and ensure that all your information is up to date. Because without that who knows if Merlin would have made it back home. ☺️

As winter approaches, it is essential to consider the well-being of our senior pets and ensure their comfort during the colder months. You may observe that your pet appears more stiff in the mornings or less active than usual. Cold weather can exacerbate the pain and discomfort associated with arthritis and other conditions such as old injuries.
Providing a dry, insulated shelter for outdoor pets will help them remain comfortable. Additionally, dog coats, heated beds, and warm bedding are recommended to assist your pet in coping with the cold.
To help manage your pet's arthritic pain, we offer conventional anti-inflammatory medication and herbal pain relief options. We also provide alternative treatments including PEMF therapy, which can reduce arthritis pain, and hydrotherapy, which may benefit your senior pet through supportive, gentle exercise to maintain healthy muscles and joint function.

When adding a new member to your family, consider compatibility. Your dog may grow bigger than expected, and their energy levels vary by breed. Some need hours of exercise daily as well as plenty of enrichment. Research breeds for their needs, including exercise, diet, health issues, and grooming, to ensure a good fit for your family. Plan for future expenses like diet and veterinary costs to maintain your puppy's health. Pet insurance is also highly recommended.
The team at SBHVC are here to help answer any puppy questions you may have and are happy to provide you with advice on how to settle a pup into their new home. We will provide you with a puppy pack loaded with information to help you on your puppy journey.
Call us on 62240855. 🙂🐶
