Percy would like you to know he is a Snowshoe Siamese. His Mum, who calls him Puss, thinks he could be, but as adopted is not sure of his lineage.

Details: 10.5 yrs with an air of the aloof.

Favourite toy: None that is known of.

Favourite activity: None that is known of.
Possibly stuffing his catnip in the Woolsack.

Job if human: Peer in the House of Lords

Most likely to say: ‘Whilst I support the overall aim of this bill, I believe further clarity around the sale of catnip to humans needs addressing’

Claim to fame: ‘One would not be that indiscreet!’

Puss (formally Percy) visited Tom the vet, who was tolerated at the time. However, he clearly became impatient to the human dilly dallying once placed in his carrier for his homeward journey!

When it comes to treating infections, choosing the right antibiotic is essential. We want to make sure we’re using the right one - not just guessing. That’s where cytology and culture & sensitivity testing come in.

🔬 Cytology
We examine a sample under the microscope to identify the type of bacteria present. This helps us choose an antibiotic with the best chance of working quickly and effectively.

🧪 Culture & Sensitivity
The lab grows the bacteria from a sample, identifies the exact strain, and tests which antibiotics will kill it. This ensures we use the most effective treatment, reducing the risk of resistance and protecting your pet’s health.

If your vet recommends testing, it’s all about giving your pet the best and most
targeted care, while protecting the future of antibiotics.

When pets have diarrhoea, it’s easy to assume antibiotics are needed - but in most cases, it’s not caused by a bacterial infection.

Diet changes, stress, parasites, or underlying health conditions are often to blame. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can disrupt your pet’s natural gut bacteria, which play a vital role in digestion and immunity.

It can also contribute to antimicrobial resistance, making future infections harder to treat.

✅ Seek your vet’s advice on the best course of action

Kennel cough is a common respiratory illness in dogs - but did you know it’s usually caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection?

That means antibiotics often aren’t needed and won’t help your dog recover faster.

✅ Speak to your vet about the best care
✅ Rest, hydration, and monitoring are key
✅ Avoid walks to prevent spread to other dogs

Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) is a common condition in cats. Many people are surprised to learn that it’s usually not caused by a bacterial infection.

Instead, stress is often the main trigger. That means antibiotics aren’t always the right treatment - and using them unnecessarily can contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

Antibiotics are designed to fight bacterial infections - they have no effect on viruses or inflammation.

Using antibiotics when they’re not needed can contribute to antimicrobial resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
Your vet will carefully assess whether antibiotics are necessary. If the illness is viral, other treatments may be more appropriate.

Update 25/11: cat reunited with owner
Thank you for sharing post!

Stray cat has been brought in after sleeping in a garage in the Stanmore area for 3 weeks. Has a lump on chin. Is this your cat?

Please call us on 01962 854088 and ask to speak to a nurse.

Stopping a course of antibiotics early - even if your pet seems better - can allow antibiotic-resistant bacteria to survive and multiply.

These resistant bacteria are harder to treat. 🦠
✅ Follow your vet’s instructions
✅ Complete the full course, even if symptoms improve
✅ Never save or share leftover antibiotics (you can return
them to us for safe disposal)
