Not all wounds are created equal 🩹🐾
From hot spots to surgical sites and everything in between, every wound needs its own treatment plan and care. Different wounds, different healing journeys — same goal: getting our patients back to feeling their best ❤️
(Warning: a little graphic, but a great reminder of the amazing healing our patients can achieve!)

Today our dedicated local wildlife team brought in a Sugar glider who had been found trapped and tangled on a barbed wire fence.

Sadly this little lady (weighing only 145g) had sustained damage to more than 50% of the special membrane that is vital to her ability to glide and was humanely euthanaised.

Does anyone know the funny name for this membrane is?

🎈🚫 When the party goes a little too hard…

Cheeky Diamond decided balloons weren’t just for decoration… but for dining. 🎉➡️🍽️

After a not-so-glamorous trip to the vet, we had to help return the party supplies the way they came (well… almost 😅). Let’s just say—balloons are best kept in the air, not in bellies.

Good news: our colourful connoisseur is feeling much better and has (hopefully) retired from a balloon-tasting career.

Friendly reminder: if it floats, squeaks, or looks fun… your dog probably thinks it’s food.

Round faces, plush coats, and those big round eyes… we’ve been treated to an overload of adorable British Shorthair visitors today 🐾💙

We absolutely love seeing these chunky cuties come through our doors (and yes… we’re always tempted to sneak in extra cuddles 😍)

Do you have a British Shorthair at home? Or is your kitty just as cute and fluffy? Drop a pic below we’d love to see your fluffy friend! 🐱✨

Does your pet have red gums?

The picture below shows a dogs tooth that on quick examination above the gum line (yellow) looks relatively normal with some calculus and gingivitis.

During a routine scale and polish the full mouth is inspected and all teeth examined using a periodontal probe. The gingivitis in this case led to a diseased pocket of infected bone between the tooth roots (blue)....a very painful condition if left untreated.

We are happy this fur friend is on the road to recovery with a comfortable mouth.
