When accidents happen in seconds…💛

This little patient came to us after getting caught by a door, resulting in a severe degloving injury to the end of the tail. Due to the extent of the injury and pain, the best course of action was to amputate the damaged part of the tail under general anaesthesia.

❗️A little reminder for pet owners: accidents like this can happen very quickly. Be especially careful with doors and windows left open for ventilation. A sudden draught can cause a door or window to slam shut, potentially trapping a pet that is lying nearby or in the doorway.
Taking a moment to check where your pet is before leaving doors or windows open can help prevent serious injuries.💛🐾

🦎 Found: Leopard Gecko near Poplar
A member of the public kindly brought this leopard gecko into us today after finding them abandoned near some in the area. Thankfully they're in reasonable body condition and are now safe, warm, and being given a full health check by our team.
Sadly, exotic pets like leopard geckos are abandoned more often than people realise — they need very specific heat, UV, and enclosure setups that aren't always easy to provide, and some owners feel they have no other option when they can't cope.
If this is your gecko, or you know who they belong to, please get in touch so we can reunite them. If you're an experienced, responsible keeper interested in offering a home should no owner come forward, message us and we'll keep you updated.
A huge thank you to the member of the public who didn't just walk past. 💛

🐱Chronic Cough…

This Ragdoll had been experiencing a chronic cough for around a year. Steroids had previously improved the symptoms, but the cough returned once treatment was stopped.

To investigate the underlying cause, we performed a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)🫁

During a BAL, sterile fluid is introduced into the lower airways and then gently collected back. The sample can then be examined and sent for further testing to look for inflammation, infection or other changes within the lungs.

BAL can be a valuable diagnostic tool when investigating chronic respiratory signs such as coughing, helping us understand what is happening within the lungs and choose the most appropriate treatment for each patient. 🩺🩵

🦷 Cocoa’s dental day! 🐾

Cocoa came in for a dental procedure, where she had a thorough scale and polish, and unfortunately, a few teeth needed to be removed.

Regular dental checks are an important part of keeping your pet healthy. Dental disease can progress quietly, even when there are no obvious signs at home.

🪥 Regular tooth brushing
🦷 Routine dental checks
👩‍⚕️ Professional cleaning when needed

can all help keep your pet’s mouth healthy and comfortable.

Parasite prevention is an important part of keeping your pet healthy all year round. 🐾💚

Fleas can survive indoors, while worms can affect pets depending on their lifestyle and risk factors. The right prevention plan can vary depending on your pet’s age, species, weight and lifestyle.

Not sure what your pet needs? Speak to our veterinary team — we’re happy to help you choose a suitable prevention plan.

🐹🦷Our little hamster came in for a dental check and needed his upper front teeth trimmed!
Hamsters’ front teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, so dental care is an important part of keeping them healthy and comfortable.

Tips for healthy hamster teeth:
• Provide safe things to chew: untreated wooden toys, apple or pear tree branches, cardboard tubes and boxes.
• Offer a balanced, species-appropriate diet.
• Check their teeth regularly for overgrowth or unevenness.
• Watch for warning signs such as difficulty eating, drooling or weight loss.
• Never trim teeth at home — if they become overgrown, a vet should check them and trim them safely.

Dental trimming is usually a quick procedure and, depending on the hamster and the situation, may not require sedation. 🐹

🌾 Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can cause serious problems for our pets.

During the warmer months, grass seeds can become trapped in your pet’s paws, ears, eyes, nose or coat. Because of their sharp, barbed shape, they can travel under the skin and cause pain, infection and, in some cases, require surgery to remove.

🐾 Check your pet after every walk.
🌿 Avoid long, dry grass where possible.
✂️ Keep the fur around paws, ears and eyes neatly trimmed.

If you notice excessive licking, head shaking, limping, squinting or swelling, contact your vet as soon as possible.

💚 A quick check after every walk can make a big difference.

💙 Sometimes one fight can change everything…

This unvaccinated, unneutered male cat loved exploring outdoors and frequently got into fights with other local tomcats. Unfortunately, his latest battle left him with a devastating eye injury. Another cat slashed his eye, causing it to rupture and the iris to prolapse. Sadly, the damage was beyond repair, and the only humane option was to remove the injured eye to relieve his pain and give him the best chance at a comfortable life.

While he was under anaesthetic, we also neutered him. Neutering helps reduce roaming and territorial fighting, lowering the risk of future injuries and helping protect his remaining eye.

The good news is that he tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. These viruses are most commonly spread through bite wounds sustained during cat fights, making unneutered outdoor male cats particularly at risk.

We wish this brave boy a smooth recovery and a much safer, happier future. 🐾❤️

🎉 Happy 1st Birthday, Lucky! 🐶💜
Today, Lucky celebrated her first birthday in a very unexpected way... by eating half of a rubber tennis ball! 🎾
Owner brought her to our clinic straight away. After receiving medication to make her vomit, Lucky brought the tennis ball back up within 10 minutes. Luckily, no surgery was needed.
The best part? After the procedure, Lucky was back to her happy, playful self and shared lots of love with everyone at the clinic. ❤️

🐾 A reminder for all pet owners: If your dog eats a foreign object, don't wait. Bring them to a veterinary clinic as soon as possible. Acting quickly can often help us remove the object by making your pet vomit. If too much time passes, this may no longer be possible, and surgery or other treatments may be needed.

We're so happy everything ended well. Happy Birthday again, Lucky! 🥳
