This is Elbie, a 9 year old Turkish Van and he’s not so keen on the vet. Elbie has always been a big lad and when his owner's adopted him he was a mighty 9kg. With great dedication his owners' successfully managed to get him to lose 2kg, which meant he was at target weight for his size. Since then, they have watched his weight quite closely. Elbie came in to see us a few weeks ago after his weight loss seemed to be too good to be true. He was still looking great but as his owners regularly weighed him at home, they knew how much he had lost over a period of time and it was not in keeping with his usual rate. He occasionally vomited but was otherwise well in himself. We investigated and found a suspicious mass in Elbie’s abdomen. Following some tests we decided to take him to theatre for an exploratory surgery. We found a mass wrapped around his small intestine. It was not yet causing an obstruction and we could remove it. Out vet, Nicole, performed the surgery and removed a large section of intestine. It was tested and found to be a small cell lymphoma. The tumour did not appear to have spread which was great news. He is now on medication to stop any further spread as a precaution. Had Elbie’s owners not been so on the ball it could have been a completely different story. Elbie has recovered well from his surgery and is now back to his usual spicy self.

We have had this pigeon brought into the practice today. It looks in good health and not injured. We are thinking it is a pet as it's quite tame. If you recognise it please let us know and we can arrange collection.

This is Smokey, the most gorgeous 6 month old Burmese kitten. Smokey and his brother Bandit came in to see us for routine neutering a few weeks ago. Whilst having the surgery, the vet noticed there was some unusual slimy fluid discharging from the incision site. We decided to ultrasound his abdomen and found some free fluid surrounding his organs. This is never normal, and we were concerned given his age and breed about a condition called FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). As Smokey was currently so bright, the owners hadn't realised he was unwell. So we had caught this as early as possible. Until recently, this was a very serious condition that carried a grave prognosis. It was very rare for any of these cats to survive. Fortunately, in the past few years, there has been significant development of an antiviral treatment that is now able to cure 85% of cases. We took some fluid for analysis. Whilst waiting for the results, Smokey started to go off his food, and his abdomen became more bloated with fluid. We were pretty confident this was FIP, so we opted to start treatment before the results were back. We currently see Smokey on a weekly basis to assess his condition. Since starting medication, the improvement has been miraculous. He is now as naughty as his brother and behaving as a normal kitten. His belly is now normal, and he is eating well. We have another 10 weeks of treatment to go, but all the results so far are extremely encouraging. Smokey is the first cat we have seen with FIP since it has become a treatable condition. As protocols are changing so quickly, we needed the most up to date info, which was provided by the FIP Advice Team. This is a team of medical specialists who volunteer to help general practitioners with FIP cases. This was invaluable in Smokey's case. Smokey is the most wonderful boy, and being able to now treat him has been so exciting and rewarding for the team.
