An ear hematoma is a soft, fluid-filled swelling caused by blood collecting inside the ear flap. It is more common in dogs but can occur in cats. Head shaking or scratching may contribute to a vessel breaking, and the underlying ear problem may also need attention. A veterinary exam helps assess both.

Considering a microchip for your pet? It can be implanted during a routine veterinary visit, without surgery or anaesthesia.

A microchip provides permanent identification that can’t fall off like a collar tag. It isn’t a GPS tracker: its unique ID number needs to be registered with your current contact details to help identify your pet if they’re found.

Ask our team about microchipping for your pet.

The front door may open repeatedly during trick-or-treating, and the activity can be unsettling for some pets. Cornell’s veterinary team and ASPCA recommend keeping pets who may be stressed by visitors in a comfortable space away from the entrance. For cats, include a litter box in the room.

Make the plan clear to everyone at home, and check that your pet’s identification information is up to date.

Wounds do not all need to be closed right away. A veterinarian may leave one open to heal when there is not enough skin to close it or when infection risk is high. Healing also depends on the wound and the animal’s overall health. Follow your veterinary team’s care plan and expected timeline. Contact them if the wound is getting larger, keeps reopening, or is not progressing as expected.

Meet Joyce, one of the receptionists at York Veterinary Hospital. The phone rang just as we started asking her questions, and she checked whether she should answer it. A very real moment at reception!

Joyce loves spending time with the dogs and cats who visit the hospital. Outside work, she plays viola, enjoys Pilates and movies with friends, and is working toward medical school.

A cat’s response can depend on what’s changing in the toy. In a 2025 study, researchers gave 31 pet cats brief opportunities to interact with different toy setups and recorded the time they spent interacting. The cats’ preferred scent was either catnip or silver vine. Since the tests were short and controlled, the results are a useful idea to explore, not a rule for choosing toys for every cat.

Does your cat notice movement or scent first?

Body weight is only one part of an older cat’s health picture. A 2025 longitudinal study followed 209 cats aged 6.7 to 16.4 years for up to seven years.

Researchers recorded 1,231 veterinary examinations overall; muscle scores were available for 208 cats across 1,144 exams. In the group averages, muscle condition began to decline before body weight did, with a steeper decline after age 10.

Individual cats can differ, and the study does not predict what is happening in a particular pet. A veterinary team can assess weight, body condition and muscle condition separately.

If you have noticed a change in your cat’s shape, bring it up with your veterinary team.

Some good news from our team. Laura recently became a
Registered Veterinary Technician, after completing the
veterinary technician program while she was working.

In the video she talks about the part of the job she likes
most, and it is not the part you might expect. It is the quiet
work at the start of a surgery day, getting a patient ready
before anything begins. For anyone who has ever left their pet
with us for a procedure, that is a good thing to know someone
enjoys doing well.

Away from the hospital, Laura has two dogs, Scarlet and Luna.

Congratulations, Laura. We are glad you are with us.
