Pet of the Month - Lottie

Beautiful Great Dane Lottie came to see vet Daria for her routine booster vaccination in August. On physical examination Daria found a new heart murmur. Although Lottie was not showing any signs of illness, this caused great concern to Lottie’s owner as this breed has a genetic predisposition to heart disease and both Lottie’s sire and a littermate had died from this.

Daria didn’t hesitate to recommend a cardiac ultrasound scan. Although Daria performs heart scans regularly in practice, she wasn’t sure whether the equipment could properly scan this size of dog! Lottie’s owners preferred that Daria try here first, with the understanding that we would refer her if unsuccessful.

Luckily for all around, Daria managed the cardiac scan with Lottie in a standing position. She was a model patient which helped a lot. Even luckier, nothing particularly sinister was found at the scan. Cue relief all round!

Lottie’s owners are going to monitor her carefully at home, in particular counting her respiratory rate regularly. She is coming for a recheck with Daria in 3 months and the plan is to repeat the heart scan in 6 months.

It’s great for pets and patients being able to perform these heart scans in our own practice using our new ultrasound machine!

WARNING ‼️

One of our vets saw and removed some pink pellets close to the practice - on the West Highland Way along from the iron bridge just around where it climbs up the hill (near the dog poo bin). We are concerned that these could be toxic.

Be aware if walking dogs off lead in that area

Pet of the Month
Dexter

One year old Dexter came to see vet Daria as he was not himself. His owner wasn’t aware of anything that had happened other than that a room scent had been knocked over. Daria thought one of Dexter’s hind paws looked a little swollen on examination. He was uncomfortable when she touched it, and growled a little.

Daria gave some symptomatic treatment and asked Dexter’s owners to bring him back in a couple of days. Unfortunately 2 days later Dexter was struggling to eat and drink, and Daria found chemical burns in his mouth and on his back feet.

Daria cleaned Dexter’s wounds and gave him some nice strong painkillers. Luckily, over the next few days Dexter made a steady improvement and all his wounds healed, but his owner was warned of the possibility of having to hospitalise him for treatment if he didn’t start eating and drinking.

We are highlighting Dexter’s case to raise awareness, and we would advise reading packaging inserts of household products to check they are safe for pets.

Pet of the Month - Elsa

Sweet Elsa is an 8 year old Labradoodle x Miniature Poodle. Elsa came to see vet Shi Ning due to increased appetite and excessive drinking and urination. She was eating 3 times her normal amount of food and drinking at least twice as much water! Elsa was also panting excessively.

Elsa had to have several blood tests to get a diagnosis for what was causing her symptoms and she was an absolute super star, considering she is a wee dog that does get stressed coming to see us.

Finally in early June, Elsa’s diagnosis was confirmed to be caused by Cushing’s disease, a hormonal condition caused by an excess of the stress hormone cortisol.

Elsa started on her treatment in mid June and is likely now to need a period of monitoring and adjustment of the dose of her medication. She continues to be a wee trooper visiting us regularly for check ups and blood samples. As soon as her condition is under control, she should feel much better. Well done Elsa!
