🐾🐾IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL OUR CLIENTS 🐾🐾
On September 1st we are seeing new prescription recommendations from the RCVS - Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons come into action!
We are asking for our loyal clients' patience and understanding while veterinary practices across the country try to change their protocols to reflect the new requirements from the RCVS.
In many cases protocols will be very similar and might not impact you at all, but you may notice some slight changes to your practices protocol in prescriptions and we ask that you remain understanding while this is implemented.
One of the biggest factors that may impact you as a client is that anti-parasitics (flea, worm and tick treatment) are going to be in the same band as antimicrobials and important drugs meaning that there needs to be a physical assessment and a physical examination before the *new* prescription of an anti-parasitic. This could result in slightly more regular, in practice, checks than you are currently used to. NB 'new prescription' refers to a different drug, different dose, different frequency than your pet is currently on, or when your current prescription comes to an end.
The RCVS have said that:
"We realise that there are differences in opinion within the profession regarding the inclusion of antiparasitics in this part of the guidance.
There are a range of factors set out in the guidance to be taken into consideration when prescribing POM-Vs, and we understand that the opinion of some is that these can simply be applied to antibiotics and antiparasitics to ensure responsible prescribing.
However, it is our view that these medicines should be treated differently to other POM-Vs because the risk of uncontrolled use is greater, for example, resistance and environmental impact.
As such, the change requires a physical examination in order to positively impact prescribing behaviours and change attitudes to these medicines."

Not every cat is suited to living in a home environment, which is why TNR projects are so important for feline welfare 🐈

🐾❤️I Think My Dog Has Pockets - a poem ...🐾❤️
I think my dog has pockets
And, stick with me on this,
In these secret pockets
She keeps her useful lists
On tiny scraps of paper
Folded nice and neat,
A list of folk from all our walks
Who've given her a treat.
And when she spots these people,
Like a bullet from a gun,
She'll pick the pace up, lightning-speed,
And run and run and run.
And after treats from EVERYONE
(There's nobody she's missed)
She gets her scrap of paper out
And ticks them off her list.

With over 105 entries across 10 categories our vet Alice Jones had a very busy afternoon judging at the Bryncrug show today.
what a fantastic turnout it was.
Lovely to see so many of our furry clients.🐾❤️🐾
🐾❤️Today is International Dog Day 🐾❤️
Let’s celebrate everything about dogs, show us you favourite photos of your dogs 🐶
🐾Help us find Muggins 🐾
Kevin from Abergynolwyn has lost his elderly cat. He saw a green van go past at the time his cat went missing and feels almost certain that they have taken it (he thinks they might have innocently taken it thinking it was a stray) It has never gone missing before and only about 2 vehicles a day come past. He is extremely upset. The North Wales Police have just come round and asked if it would be possible to post a message on the site with a photo of Muggins?
I am on 01654 782315 Thank you.
Don’t forget Monday is a bank holiday. All our practices will be closed.
If you need to speak to a vet our out of hours emergency is 24/7
Please call 01654710948
🐾OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND 🐾
We’ve had a beautiful tabby cat bought into us after taking up residence in someones property in Ffordd Alban, Tywyn for the past 3 weeks.
❤️🐾She is microchipped but the chip is registered to a property in Shifnal, Telford and the mobile number is ringing out.
Has anyone moved house recently and lost their old cat or been on holiday?
She’s 16 yrs old we would love to get her home. Please contact the surgery in Tywyn if you can help get her home 🐾❤️
😴🐈⬛Adult cats sleep for around 15-16 hours a day, with young kittens and elderly cats sleeping for longer periods (up to 20-24 hours a day).
😴🐈⬛ Periods of sleep are usually split into several shorter ‘cat naps’ over a 24-hour period. Cats can doze, seeming to be asleep, when in fact they can be easily startled or woken (remember cats are prey animals as well as predators!).
😴🐈⬛We don’t know for sure, but it’s thought that cats do dream during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Signs your cat might be dreaming include:
▪️Bilateral eye movement
▪️Head movement
▪️Squeaking or chattering vocalisations
▪️Twitching of whiskers, paws and tail
▪️Piloerection i.e. fur standing up on end along back and/or tail
😴Your cat may show these signs, even though they are in a deep sleep, and have a general loss of muscle tone. Cats that are complexly relaxed and sleeping will rest by either laying on their side with all four paws positioned away from the ground or curled up.
We don’t really know what cats dream about though, it would be interesting to find out!
Have you seen your cat dream? 🤔🐈⬛
Happy to all of our favourite mini panthers! 🐈⬛🖤 Who could believe these marvellous moggies are often overlooked due to them being 'unphotogenic' and 'unlucky' 😿

🐾KITTENS🐾
RESERVED- at present we have so many offers for home for these boys hopefully homes have been found
We have these 2 sweet little boys in foster still looking for their forever homes.
If anyone is interested in rehoming a kitten please contact the Tywyn surgery and we can tell you all about them
This is something that is sooooo important especially if your on holiday in the area. Make sure your chip details are up to date, when you first have your puppy or kitten make sure you change the details over from the breeder or if you move house or even change your telephone number. If you pet gets bought into any vet practice and scanned but the information is out of date we have no way of contacting you
Today is 'Check Your Chip' day, when we remind ourselves to ensure the details held on our pet's microchip are up to date.
BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!
It is also absolutely vital the database that holds that information has online, instant 24/7 access for anyone who might need to contact you about your pet if they are found.
Some of the cheaper chips (very rarely used by vets I am happy to say) are cheap because the database they are attached to is, quite frankly, rubbish.
It is absolutely no good to anyone if to access your contact details we have to call only in business hours, stay waiting on hold for hours or can only apply for them by email or post. 🙄🤦🏼♀️
To find a decent database, just ask your vet! We only partner with the good ones!
Found cat, happy valley road between Tywyn and Cwrt near Machynlleth,. Super friendly young female cat, has definitely belonged to someone. She has no microchip and may not be neutered. She is on our waiting list to come into care but it would be nice to find her home.
🐾This is the story about a little kitten.🐾
She arrived a month ago after an amazing lady picked her up after seeing her get hit on the tywyn to Bryncrug stretch by 2 cars., we think she’s a little stray/feral. Battered, wet, bruised and in pain she came to us and after a lot of TLC and care she’s become a little sweetie, sadly her injuries meant that her one front leg was beyond repair so the decision was made to remove it as she wasn’t using it at all.
Amazing Alice was given the task and 24 hrs post surgery she was back to climbing and running and jumping without the hinderance of her injured leg.
We have named her Hermione she’s small and mighty and she is at present living with Ela our student nurse whilst she recovers post surgery.
All her care and medication has been covered by us and the generosity of clients that contribute to the care of any rescue that need our TLC
This time of year we have an influx of kittens and at present we have 4 in foster, 2 hopefully will have homes but if your interested in rehoming one please contact the Tywyn surgery.
We have an amazing support network of people who are always willing to foster kittens especially when they have had no contact with humans, this means that when they go to their new homes they are well socialised happy kittens that love to purr 😻
OLLIE IS HOME ❤️

❤️🐾🐾What are your opinions ?🐾🐾❤️
Many people prefer their cat to toilet outside. This is understandable as litter trays can be smelly and messy💩, but there are a few things to consider when it comes to feline wellbeing and the provision of litter trays:
🐈⬛It’s always a good idea to have at least one litter tray (or more in multi-cat households) in the house just in case your cat needs to use it. Even cats that toilet outside regularly sometimes need to use a litter tray indoors because of:
⛈️❄️ Poor weather conditions preventing them from venturing outside.
🎇Noise or disturbances outside e.g. fireworks, building works, unfamiliar people etc.
😾Conflict with neighbouring cats making them feel vulnerable and not want to toilet outside.
🏡Difficult access to the usual toileting area e.g. garden layout has changed.
😿Not providing a litter tray can result in stress-related conditions such as feline idiopathic cystitis or conflict and fighting with other cats outside.
Here are some tips on how to encourage your cat to toilet outside:
☀️Start this process in the spring or summer if possible, as your cat is likely to want to spend more time outside then.
🪴Cats like to toilet in private areas where they feel safe. Start by placing your cats normal litter tray in an area that is near the house, but also where there’s some cover from plant pots, bushes, shrubs etc.
🧱Place their litter tray in an area along the edge of the garden e.g. along a fence or wall to help your cat feel less exposed when toileting.
Cats like soft substrate to dig and bury their urine/faeces, so you might want to mix some soft soil or sand with their usual litter to encourage use.
💩Make sure that the litter tray is still scooped out twice a day and changed every week
😺Once your cat is successfully using their tray outside, you can empty the contents of a clean tray into a designated toileting area

🐾🐾🐱All of our practices have just signed up to the cats protection neutering scheme.
Please follow the link to check that you are eligible and please make us aware when you book your cats into be neutered if you would like to take advantage of this fantastic scheme.
We will need you to fill out and sign paperwork on the day of the surgery so please make us aware that you want to use the scheme and you will also be asked to pay the £10 on admission. 🐾🐾🐱

Cats are not keen on using double bowls. They will use them, but would prefer not to for the following reasons:
Being self-sufficient survivalists cats prefer to eat and drink in separate places. This is because they feel safer to eat and drink this way due to being less likely to be spotted by a predator (remember cats are prey animals as well as effective little predators) 🐱🐱
Cats don't like the idea of their food contaminating their water. Bear in mind cats are programmed to hunt, catch and kill prey several times a day. This means consuming their food near their water source could risk contaminating the water with the blood or gut contents of their prey. The water would then act as a medium for bacteria and attract flies. A sick cat is a vulnerable cat! 😿😿.
Double bowls tend to be small, quite deep and are of course joined together, which could risk aggravating a cat's sensitive whiskers. This can be uncomfortable and even painful for your cat, causing something called 'whisker fatigue' resulting in food aversion or preventing a cat from finishing its food! 😿😿
Try using large flat bowl that gives plenty of room for your cat's whiskers and is located away from its water bowl - your cat will thank you for it! 🐱🐱
NB: if you are changing your cat's food bowl, offer food in the old bowl and old location as well as using the new bowl and different location. This allows your cat to have a choice (especially as they like routine and are wary of change!). You can then remove the old bowl once your cat is choosing to use the new one.🐱🐱
🐾 OWNER HAS BEEN LOCATED 🐾
We’ve had a black and white cat brought into us this morning after been involved in an RTA in Tywyn. Sadly deceased and unfortunately no microchip. Please contact the surgery if you think this maybe your cat.
🐱 The kitten season is upon us. Watch this space we potentially WILL have kittens for rehoming in a few weeks. If you are interested in rehoming a kitten please call the Tywyn surgery during the week to add you name to a list. 🐱
❤️HAPPY GUINEA PIG APPRECIATION DAY ❤️
Your guinea pigs’ diet plays a vital role in keeping them happy and healthy. 🌿
If they don’t get the correct vitamins, minerals and lots of fibre in their diets, they are likely to develop problems with their tummy, teeth, and vitamin C levels. 😔

It's no secret that cats love cardboard boxes! 📦🐈⬛ Whether it's a big or small box, cats will often climb inside - but why is this?
🐺Although cats are programmed as effective little predators, they are also prey animals too, making them vulnerable to attack from larger predators.
🐈⬛As survivalists they only have themselves to rely on to stay safe and access resources. This includes somewhere that provides shelter, keeping them hidden from attack.
📦Cardboard boxes provide the perfect place for cats to hide and still see what's going on in their environment, which is ideal for a animal that needs to stay vigilant 👀
😴As survivalists, cats will often also rotate where they sleep, so boxes can be easily placed on different areas of the home, giving options on where a cat might prefer to rest.
😺Cardboard boxes make great makeshift beds, where cats can stay warm and cosy inside.
🐾Cardboard boxes are also a lot of fun for cats to use during playtime, where they can hide and then 'pounce' on their toy!
😻Cardboard boxes can also be used for cats to forage in, just scrunch up some balls of paper, place them in the box and scatter some kibble inside - hey presto, a simple and cost eg puzzle feeder!
Does your cat like cardboard boxes? I know mine do! Share some pics of your cat in a cardboard box! ❤️🐈⬛📦

Getting a kitten can be an exciting time 😸
Kittens are incredibly cute and a lot of fun to be around, but there's a lot to think about prior to bringing a new kitten home 🏡
💔To avoid any heartache consider:
🐈⬛The kitten's home/living environment - is it clean?
🐈⬛ Can the kitten be seen with their mother and/or siblings? If so, do they seem relaxed around people and well cared for?
🐈⬛The kitten's age - they should not be homed before they are 8-12 weeks of age
🐈⬛Does the kitten look healthy? Clean eyes, nose, ears, bottom? Normal weight? No diarrhoea?
🐈⬛Has the kitten been properly socialised with humans and other animals? (depending on the new home environment)
🐈⬛Has the kitten been habituated to household noises/appliances such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners, televisions, door bells etc?
🐈⬛Has the kitten been given preventive healthcare such as vaccinations, flea and worm treatment? Can you see their vaccination or health card/documents?
👏Many breeders and rescue centres will microchip kittens (kittens will need to be microchipped by law from 10th June 2024). Some will also offer 4 weeks of free insurance too.
🐱Depending on the kitten's age, they may also be neutered. Some rescue centres will cover the cost of neutering too.
There are some excellent resources available online if you are thinking about getting a kitten, these include:

Lastly, it's important to remember that although there's no denying how cute kittens are, there are thousands of adult cats in rescue centres looking for loving homes too ❤️🏡
Parasites can be problematic and even dangerous for a kitten’s health, so it’s important to treat kittens as soon as it’s safe to do so 🐈
Common parasites that affect kittens include:
🔹Fleas
🔹Ticks (especially older kittens once they start to venture outside)
🔹Roundworms and tapeworms
🐱When getting a kitten, it’s essential to find out what treatment it has already been given for external and internal parasites, and then speak to your vet about the options available to keep your kitten healthy.
😿Fleas can be detrimental to a kitten’s health, causing skin irritation and anaemia
Ticks may be less of a problem with very young kittens (although they can still be brought in from the outside on clothing and from other animals), but once the kitten starts to explore outside tick treatment should be considered 👍
🙀Roundworms are passed down from the mother’s milk, so kittens should be treated from an early age as heavy worm burdens can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, intestinal blockage, poor growth, and health
🐾 Some tapeworms can be passed on from fleas, so once a kitten is old enough to groom itself a flea treatment should be considered. This is another reason why regular flea treatment is so important❗
Older kittens may also be affected by another type of tapeworm that infects cats through the prey that they hunt
The only way you can prevent ticks and fleas from living on your kitten and causing ill health is with regular treatment 👍
Roundworms passed on from the mother also need regular treatment. This doesn’t have to be stressful or disruptive for you or your kitten ❌
Ticks and fleas can be treated using tablets, collars or spot-ons. Worms can be treated using oral medications and spot-ons 👍🐱
🩺Always use flea, tick and worm treatments recommended by your vet

🌞🌻Summer is here and there's lots for cats to explore outside, but what can we do to ensure the garden is inviting and provides lots of enrichment for our feline friends? You can offer:
🪴A selection of large and medium plant pots with various plants or flowers throughout the garden and near the cat-flap (for extra protection when in use)
🌿Various shrubs along boarders for cats remain covered when exploring
🌳Trees for cats to scratch
🪑Garden furniture to provide sunny spots for resting and coverage/shelter
🪵Logs/stumps at different levels for cats to scratch and perch on
🪰Plants to attract insects for cats to chase (care with bee friendly plants if your cat like to chase them!)
🌱Catnip and catmint plants to provide cats with some additional stimulation (they might eat them though!)
🧱Garden walls and fences for cats to climb and perch on
📦Cardboard boxes placed in different areas of the garden to provide shade and somewhere to hide (just remember to bring them indoors if rain is forecast!)
🏘️Wooden cat houses to provide safety and shelter
🐾 Soft sandy or wood bark outdoor toileting areas (these should be hidden, and any soiled areas removed daily)
💦Large drinking receptacles – ideally with some coverage to provide a feeling of safety when in use
You can also try:
☘️Leaving the grass to grow a bit longer than usual which gives them extra coverage. Cats aren’t keen on large open spaced as they feel exposed and vulnerable, so longer grass keeps them hidden (my cats love this, maybe it helps them channel their inner wildcat 🐅?).
😺Providing a catio space for indoor only cats to explore relax, and watch the outside world.

🐾🐾🐾🐾This is so so true and such amazing information
Check your pets microchip details. We’ve had some dogs come in with a chip still registered to the breeder 7 yrs after they’ve been rehomed, or the dogs on holiday and there is only a home number on the chip details 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
June is Microchipping Month and I need to have a rant.
Contrary to popular belief your pet’s microchip only holds their unique number, not any of your contact details. So…
…it is NOT good enough to just have your pet microchipped, you MUST also make sure that;
There is MORE THAN ONE PHONE NUMBER associated with the chip.
Because if there is just the one, I absolutely guarantee you that if your pet goes missing and someone like me rings that number, you will be out of signal/in a meeting/out of credit/changed your number and forgot to update it on the chip.
Which means I can’t get hold of you and get your pet home. Which might mean they might need to go to the dog warden or local rescue while we continue to try to reach you.
Or we may never find you and they might never be able to be returned.
And
The chip is registered with a database that has 24/7 INSTANT ONLINE ACCESS for finders.
Because I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to have a pet handed in, find they have a chip and then discover it has been registered to one of the, how can I put this politely, less accessible databases.
The ones who require you to send an email for contact details and then may or may not answer it within several working days.
Or who have a phone number that only works 9-5 Monday-Friday (no good if its a weekend!) and even if it is during their opening hours, someone has to spend ages on hold to even speak to them, which in a busy practice is really hard for us to do.
Now chips can be implanted by lay people this is becoming an increasing problem. I understand it is convenient for someone to come to your home to microchip a litter of puppies and they tend to be really cheap….
…BUT THEY ARE OFTEN CHEAP FOR A REASON!
(Not all but many do appear to operate with very little thought about the quality of the database they are using)
There are 21 different databases a chip can be registered with the UK and as the price of implantation usually also includes the first registration, the fee generally reflects the quality of that database!
I am not going to mention the biggest offenders for terrible service but please, PLEASE, check what your database provides and if they don’t have that instant access for finders or allow you to input several different contact numbers and emails, change. Immediately.
Which is easily and cheaply done because the sooner you can get your pet home if they are lost the better.
For you, your family and the blood pressure of the staff at your local veterinary clinic!
Thank you!
Let’s talk toilets … 🚽
We know how important it is to have enough resources for our cats and this is especially important in multi cat households to help avoid conflict but instead of focusing on the number of litters trays, let’s start focusing on the number of locations. 🥊
If you have four litter trays but two are in the same location this means you actually only have 3 toileting stations. ❌
⭐️GOLDEN RULE⭐️
🗺 When mapping out a house think like this:
If every cat wanted to use the litter tray at the same time they must be able to do this without coming in to contact with each other … 🚽🐈
So when setting up your own resources in your house remember that you could have six trays but if they are all in the same location this is classed as one toileting station. 🚽
*If you are having issues with toileting then it’s always best to seek help from your veterinary surgeon in the first instance*
