🌟 Spring Health - Grooming for Cats 🌟

As the weather warms up, your cat will start shedding their winter coat - which means more loose fur around the house (and on your clothes!). Regular grooming not only keeps their coat healthy but also helps reduce furballs and gives you a chance to spot any fleas, ticks or skin issues early.

✨ Spring grooming tips:
βœ”οΈ Brush regularly to remove loose fur and prevent matting.
βœ”οΈ Watch out for grass seeds, which can get tangled in fur and cause irritation.
βœ”οΈ Trim nails if needed.
βœ”οΈ Check for lumps, bumps or sore spots while brushing.
❌ Never use scissors to cut out knots - it’s easy to accidentally cut the skin. Instead, use a detangling comb - or seek professional help from a groomer or our vets.

A little extra grooming this season goes a long way to keeping your cat happy, healthy and comfortable 🌸🐱

🌟 Where do paralysis ticks prefer to hide? 🌟

An Australian study has revealed where paralysis ticks are most likely to attach on dogs and cats. Over 10,000 tick paralysis cases were analysed, providing valuable information on where to focus first when searching for ticks. πŸ•·οΈ

As well as using an effective tick control product, daily searching and removal of ticks is recommended. Importantly, for pets suffering from tick paralysis, finding and removing the tick as quickly as possible can be life-saving.

The study also found some unusual attachment sites:
πŸ”ΉEar canal
πŸ”ΉInside the mouth
πŸ”ΉNostrils
πŸ”ΉUnder tail or ge***al areas

Remember, prevention is always better than cure. If you would like to know more about tick prevention please call and chat to one of our friendly nurses. πŸ“ž

🌟 Professional Pet Dental Cleaning: What to Expect 🌟

Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats? And it can be hiding beneath the gumline even when your pet's teeth don't look too bad. 🦷

So, what happens during a professional dental clean❓

🩺 Before the procedure
Our vets will examine your pet and may recommend blood tests to check their overall health and make sure anaesthesia is appropriate.

😴 Anaesthesia
A proper dental clean requires a general anaesthetic. This allows our veterinary team to safely examine every tooth, clean below the gumline and identify painful or diseased teeth without causing your pet stress or discomfort.

πŸ” A thorough examination
Every tooth and the surrounding gums are carefully assessed. Dental X-rays may be recommended to detect problems hidden below the gumline, such as damaged roots or bone loss.

✨ Scaling & polishing
Specialised equipment removes plaque and tartar from the teeth, including beneath the gumline. The teeth are then polished to create a smoother surface that makes it harder for plaque to stick.

🦷 Extractions if needed
Sometimes diseased, damaged or painful teeth need to be removed. Our vets will discuss any significant findings and the recommended treatment with you.

πŸ’€ Recovery
Your pet will be closely monitored as they wake from anaesthesia. They may be sleepy for the rest of the day and, if extractions were performed, you'll receive specific aftercare instructions.

🏠 Dental care doesn't stop at the clinic!
Plaque starts building up again after a professional clean, so ongoing home care is important. Regular tooth brushing, dental diets and other dental products can all play a role.

And remember, bad breath isn't just "normal pet breath". It can be a sign of dental disease.
Regular dental checks can help detect problems early, relieve pain and keep your pet's mouth healthier. πŸ’–
