The most common types of Christmas trees are not highly toxic to pets, however, some common Christmassy plants can be!
These can include, poinsettias, holly, ivy, mistletoe and lillies(which can be fatal to cats), so it's always better to be cautious with these plants around your furry friends.

We are sure our furry friends would think festive food is delicious, but their tummies might not! A lot of the food we indulge in around Christmas is highly toxic and dangerous to our pets.
Always double check food is safe before giving it to your pet. If they have eaten something they shouldn’t, they can usually be given an injection to induce vomiting, provided it is within four hours of ingestion. Fast action can be enough to avoid toxicity, so if you are concerned about something your pet has eaten, please do give us a call!

Pets should always be supervised around decorations. If chewed or swallowed, foreign objects can cause damage to the intestines or even a life-threatening
obstruction. Cats in particular are often drawn to tinsel; though this can be extremely dangerous if swallowed.

⚠️ Warning! Some graphic images ⚠️

🐾 Meet Kobe! 🐾

Kobe recently came to visit our Ophthalmologist, Dr. Kim Jorgensen, after being referred by his primary vet. He’d gotten himself into a bit of trouble running through some bushes and ended up with a squinty, painful eye and a few scrapes on his ears and chest. His primary vet diagnosed a corneal laceration and started treatment, but when things didn’t improve after a few days, Kobe was sent to us to see what more could be done.

After a thorough eye exam, Kim determined that surgery would give Kobe the best chance to save his eye and ensure proper healing. He performed a delicate procedure called a conjunctival graft, using an operating microscope and suture material thinner than human hair!

✨ Did you know? The cornea has very little blood supply, which makes healing injuries—like Kobe’s—much more difficult. The conjunctiva, however, has excellent blood supply. By grafting it over the damaged cornea, we can deliver the nutrients and support needed for proper healing.

We’re happy to share that Kobe was noticeably more comfortable almost immediately after surgery. We can’t wait to follow his progress throughout his recovery!

Please send Kobe some healing vibes as he continues to mend! 💕👁️🐾

🌟 Lucy’s Incredible Journey! 🌟

Everyone, meet Lucy! This brave little superstar has just been signed off after months of investigation, treatment, and recovery — and we couldn’t be more proud of her! 💛🐾

Lucy first came to us with a swelling on her back foot and some lameness. Our initial suspicion was that she might have picked up a thorn or grass seed that had become embedded and caused discomfort. She came in for an exploratory procedure, where we did find a small section of black thorn and hoped that would solve the problem.

Unfortunately, Lucy didn’t improve, so we carried out a second exploratory surgery — still with no success in finding the cause. We trialled antibiotics in case infection was involved, but again, no change. At that stage we discussed referral with Lucy’s owner, and she was sent for advanced imaging.

After a CT scan at the referral centre, the specialists found no foreign body, but instead diagnosed Lucy with something much more unusual: a pseudopad!

🔍 What is a pseudopad?
A pseudopad is an uncommon condition in dogs where an extra pad-like structure develops on the foot. It can look and feel similar to a normal paw pad but is not meant to be there. These growths can become painful, inflamed, or interfere with walking, especially if they rub against the ground or alter the dog’s gait. Treatment depends on the severity, but in cases like Lucy’s, surgical removal is often the best long-term solution.

So, surgery was performed — and after a dedicated period of bandage changes and careful healing, Lucy is now officially signed off and doing brilliantly! 🎉

We’ll miss seeing her sweet little face so often… although we’re pretty sure her owner is relieved not to be making so many trips to the clinic anymore! 😉

Well done, Lucy — you handled everything with bravery, patience, and a constantly wagging tail. Enjoy your well-deserved, comfortable adventures ahead! 🐶💕

Today is World Diabetes Day. Just like us, our furry friends can develop diabetes - and the sooner it’s spotted, the better it can be managed.
Common signs of diabetes in pets include:
💧 Increased thirst
💛 Increased urination
⚖️ Weight loss
🐾 Appetite changes
If you’ve noticed any of these changes in your pet, it’s always worth getting
them checked for peace of mind.

🌸 Farewell & Welcome! 🌸

This week we say a fond farewell to Abbie, who has been a valued part of our nursing team for the past five years. Abbie joined us shortly after the Covid pandemic and has shown incredible dedication, compassion, and professionalism throughout her time at Archway. She’s been a wonderful colleague and will be greatly missed by staff and patients alike. 💖

At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Amy to the team! Some of you may already recognise her, as she completed her training here at Archway last year. We’re delighted to have her back with us as a qualified nurse and know she’ll be a fantastic addition to our team!

Please join us in wishing Abbie all the best in her next chapter and giving Amy a big Archway welcome! 🙌

At this time of year there is an influx of chocolate in the house, it is fairly common for pets to try and sneak a taste. Dogs in particular are likely to try and eat chocolate, but it is also toxic to cats.

The darker the chocolate and the higher concentration of cocoa (and therefore theobromine), the more severe the effects can be. Chocolate also contains caffeine, which is also unsafe for dogs and cats alike.

Even if you only suspect your pet has ingested a small amount of chocolate,
the negative effects still need to be addressed. Large amounts can be very dangerous, so either way it's best to speak to your vet for further instruction. If possible, have the packet available so the vet can calculate how much theobromine your pet has ingested.
