Cat whiskers are rich in nerves and are connected to muscles, letting felines measure gaps without their bodies touching the surroundings. Have you ever seen your cat pause and assess a doorway or a narrow space before gliding through? 🐱

Cats bring so much joy into our lives, whether they’re curling up beside us, supervising from a windowsill, or knocking things off tables with no regrets. 😹

Today is the perfect reminder to appreciate everything that makes cats so special.

It’s also a good opportunity to think about their wellbeing:

💛 Do they have places to climb, hide and scratch?

💛 Is their weight staying healthy?

💛 Are their vaccinations, parasite protection and check-ups up to date?

💛 Do they have enough enrichment to keep them active and happy?

Our team is always happy to support you with advice on keeping your cat healthy at every life stage.

Happy International Cat Day to all our feline patients and their families! 🐾

Behind every wagging tail and content purr there is a veterinary team giving their all. Long hours, complex cases and the constant wish to do the best for each patient can take a heavy toll. Burnout is real and many vet professionals carry it quietly. 💙

Kindness goes a long way. A simple thank you during your visit can lift our team’s spirits more than you realise.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes we talk about sedation and other times about general anaesthesia? Both help keep pets calm and pain-free during procedures, but they are not the same.

👉 Sedation is like a nap, in which your pet stays relaxed and drowsy. We may need it for X-rays or other diagnostic tests if we need your pet to stay still. Recovery is speedy, and most pets go home the same day.

👉 Anaesthesia is a total sleep state. Your pet is unconscious, a breathing tube is placed, and we constantly monitor heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. It allows for safe surgery or lengthy dentistry procedures with no pain.

Whatever option we choose, round-the-clock monitoring keeps comfort and safety front and centre. Got questions about an upcoming visit or procedure? We are happy to explain!

Wondering what happens once your pet is asleep for surgery? 💤

Behind the scenes, a dedicated and highly trained veterinary nurse is glued to their side, tracking every heartbeat and breath.

Our monitors display heart rate, heart rhythm, breathing rate, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, blood pressure and body temperature in real-time. If anything changes, the team adjusts anaesthetic depth, fluids or warmth right away to keep your pet stable and comfortable.

Continuous monitoring means tiny changes are spotted long before they become problems, turning modern anaesthesia into a carefully choreographed balance.

Not to mention that before any surgery, we perform a full physical exam and recommend pre-anaesthetic bloodwork to ensure the procedure is safe for your pet.

Knowing trained professionals watch over your pet from before the surgery to recovery lets you focus on those reunion cuddles instead of the what ifs. 🩺

Is your once-bouncy dog now snoozing through walks?

Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) could be to blame. Low levels of thyroid hormone slow your pet’s metabolism, leading to:

🐾 Weight gain

🐾 Thinning coat

🐾 Flaky skin

🐾 Lethargy (being quieter)

For diagnosis, we run blood tests to measure hormone levels and rule out other conditions.

If results confirm hypothyroidism, daily tablets of synthetic thyroid hormone get tails wagging again. Most dogs perk up within weeks, regrowing a glossy coat and rediscovering their joy for play. 💊

Treatment is for life, so follow-up blood checks are needed.

Noticed any of these signs in your dog? Book an appointment with us. 🩺
