Stories like this are exactly why we do what we do❤️

A huge thank you to Hector’s House Cat Rescue and to this lovely cat’s caregiver for acting so quickly when something wasn’t right. Thanks to their dedication, he was able to get the treatment he needed and is now on the road to recovery!

We’re proud to support local rescues and charities and feel privileged to play a part in helping cats like this get the care they deserve🐱

Wishing this handsome lad a comfortable recovery before he heads back home to his barn🐈‍⬛🐾

🐾A Gentle Goodbye, In the Comfort of Your Own Home🐾

Over the past couple months, a number of our clients have asked whether we can offer home euthanasia visits. After listening to feedback and understanding how important this option can be for families, we have decided to add this service to the care we provide here at Griffiths Veterinary Centre.

We know that saying goodbye to your pet is one of the most difficult decisions an owner will ever make. For some pets and their family, being able to spend those final moments together in the comfort of your own home can provide dignity, peace and comfort during an incredibly emotional time🤍

Our team are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your pet’s final moments are gentle and surrounded by love.

If you would like to discuss our home euthanasia service, or talk through your beloved pet’s quality of life, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to go through the options available❤️🐾🌈

🚨A Life-Threatening Emergency We See Far Too Often🚨

Last week, we treated the lovely Roxie suffering from a condition called pyometra – a serious and potentially fatal infection of the womb.

Pyometra can develop in any unspayed female dog, often appearing just a few weeks after a season. The infection causes the womb to fill with pus, making dogs extremely unwell and without urgent treatment, it can be life-threatening.

Signs to look out for include:
🐾 Drinking more than usual
🐾 Lethargy or weakness
🐾 Reduced appetite
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 A swollen abdomen
🐾 Vaginal discharge (although not always present)

The good news? Pyometra is largely preventable through spaying.

Spaying not only prevents unwanted pregnancies but also eliminates the risk of pyometra and significantly reduces the risk of mammary (breast) tumours later in life!

If you’re unsure whether spaying is the right choice for your dog, we’re always happy to have an honest, no-pressure conversation about the benefits and any concerns you may have🐶

🐾Do you remember Dinxy, the adorable Jack Russell who recently came in for her dental?🐾

Well, Dinxy certainly likes to keep her owners on their toes! The other evening, her owners arrived home to discover that Dinxy had helped herself to an astonishing 27 chocolate brownies!🍫

They gave us a call straight away and we advised them to bring her down immediately. After examination and blood testing, it became clear that Dinxy had developed acute pancreatitis, a painful and potentially serious condition often caused by eating rich, fatty foods. Dinxy was admitted for overnight hospitalisation, where she received intravenous fluids, medication and lots of TLC from our team❤️

We are delighted to say that Dinxy was an absolute superstar throughout her stay and is now back home with her family recovering well🌟🐶

Chocolate can be extremely dangerous for dogs due to a substance called theobromine, which they cannot process effectively. Even small amounts can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, restlessness, tremors, seizures and, in severe cases, can be life-threatening. Foods high in fat, such as brownies, cakes and other treats, can also trigger pancreatitis.

If your pet ever eats something they shouldn't, don't wait for symptoms to appear - contact a veterinary professional straight away!

One of the many benefits of being registered with Griffiths Veterinary Centre is that we provide our own 24/7, 365-day emergency service. There are no call centres, no travelling to an unfamiliar hospital and no explaining your pet's history to someone you've never met. Your pet is cared for right here in our practice by the same friendly team who know them best.🏥🐾

Well done, Dinxy – but let's stick to dog treats from now on! 😂❤️

At Griffiths Veterinary Centre we know that for many cats, a trip to the vets can feel overwhelming… which is why we’ve worked hard to create a calmer, more cat friendly environment from the moment they arrive🐾

Our practice features:
✨ A separate cat waiting area away from dogs and busy noise
✨ Large spacious cat kennels with cosy hiding areas
✨ High shelves and climbing spaces so cats can perch and feel safe in our dedicated cat consult room
✨ Quiet, stress-reducing wards designed with feline comfort in mind
✨ A dedicated cat friendly advocate - our lovely RVN Marie💚

Marie has a special interest in feline nursing and is always happy to help with any cat related questions, from behaviour and stress reduction to weight clinics, senior cat support, parasite prevention and general wellbeing🐈

We absolutely love seeing cats relax enough to explore, climb and settle in during their stay with us - just like the handsome Mike pictured enjoying our cat shelves😻

🐾OUT OF HOURS SUPERSTAR🐾

The adorable Ellie had to visit us recently after developing a very sore eye and needed to utilise our out of hours service👁️❤️

The good news? Ellie was able to be seen right here at Griffiths Veterinary Centre by our own vet Jourdan, without needing to travel elsewhere or see an unfamiliar team!

At Griffiths Veterinary Centre we provide our own in-house emergency out of hours care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That means if your pet needs urgent care overnight, at weekends or on bank holidays, you’ll still be speaking to and seeing the same friendly team that knows you and your pets🐾

We know emergencies are stressful enough without having to drive long distances or repeat your pet’s history to a different practice, which is why keeping our out of hours care in-house was so important to us❤️

Safe to say Ellie still managed to keep everyone smiling during her visit… especially with her “helping” Jourdan on the computer😂💻

Eye issues can worsen very quickly, so if you notice redness, squinting, discharge or your pet rubbing at their eye, it’s always best to get them checked sooner rather than later 👁️

We hope you’re feeling much brighter now Ellie💛
