๐Ÿฅณ PET OF THE MONTH - DECEMBER ๐Ÿฅณ

Adorable 5 month old Motchi came in for x-rays this month after his owners noticed he was limping on his left hind leg after an overly fun day at doggy day-care ๐Ÿถ. He could weight bear a little but was completely lame if he tried to run.

The vet suspected an issue with one of his toes as it had a graze and was very painful to touch, although we can never rule out further issues elsewhere in a leg without taking x-rays. As Motchi had been enjoying his afternoon food and snacks right before his appointment ๐Ÿ–, he was admitted the next day for x-rays as he would need sedation, especially for such a lively and happy puppy! For a sedation we need our patients to have an empty stomach to reduce the risk of vomiting. Motchi went home overnight on pain relief ๐Ÿ’Š and instructions to rest as much as possible ๐Ÿ’ค.

X-rays showed that Motchi had a fracture of his second toe but no other issues with his bones elsewhere in his leg luckily ๐Ÿฆด. We asked for an opinion from a specialist to ensure that we did the best treatment for him, especially with him being so young ๐Ÿฉบ.

The specialist recommended trimming his nail on the broken toe back to the base to essentially help it become a non-weightbearing toe and to bandage his foot whilst the fracture heals๐Ÿฉน. Motchi now fairly regularly comes in for bandage changes, which he tolerates very well as he enjoys rolling around on his side and back, especially with lots of fuss and playing ๐Ÿฅฐ. To stop him interfering with his bandage his owners opted for a sock over the top which is working well! ๐Ÿงฆ

Getting some fairly motion free photos was actually more challenging than his bandage ๐Ÿ“ธ all part of the fun! We always look forward to seeing Motchi and are wishing him a speedy recovery so he can get back to running around ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿพ Wellness Screening

We offer routine wellness screenings with our nurses, providing a comprehensive โ€œMOTโ€ for your pet ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ. Suitable for both cats and dogs, each screening includes a nurse-led health check, a brief clinical history, weight check, blood pressure measurement, blood testing, and urine analysis.

Appointments last up to 45 minutes, allowing us plenty of time to keep your pet as relaxed and comfortable as possible throughout ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ- especially when taking blood pressure readings and blood samples. We usually ask owners to bring a fresh urine sample from home. However, for canine patients we can often collect a sample during their visit, and for feline patients we can provide non-absorbable cat litter if needed.

Pictured is Maddie, one of our vetโ€™s dogs, during her wellness screening ๐Ÿ•. We waited until she was fully relaxed (after spending some quiet time chilling in our office) before taking her blood pressure, and she received plenty of love and reassurance during her blood sampling ๐Ÿ’•. In Maddieโ€™s case, we chose to take the blood sample from her leg, although in some patients it can be easier to take a sample from the jugular vein in the neck.

The cost of a wellness screen is ยฃ85 ๐Ÿ’ท. Members of our Pet Health Club receive a discount of 10% on the Essentials Plan and 20% on the Plus Plan ๐ŸŽ‰. This is a significantly reduced cost compared to investigations carried out when pets are unwell and is ideal for identifying any underlying or undetected health issues early ๐Ÿ”.

Wellness screening is recommended annually for dogs over 5 years and cats over 7 years ๐Ÿพ, although some clients choose to have it done as a one-off or periodically. All results are reviewed by both a vet and a nurse, and we will contact you with the findings within one week ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿ“‹.

Please call us on 01920 468874 to book a wellness screen for your pet. ๐Ÿ’–
We can also do the wellness screening at the same time as their 6 month health check if you are part of the Pet Health Club and you let us know in advance.

If you notice anything different in our practice (especially on Saturdays!), itโ€™s probably because weโ€™re missing Julie. After 18 years with us, Julie is retiring, and she will be very much missed. โค๏ธ

Her last day also happened to fall on our Christmas Jumper Day ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…, so she was celebrated with plenty of smiles and festive cheer! โœจ

๐Ÿ“ฃ Weโ€™re supporting the Animal Medicines Amnesty and we need your help!

Check your home for unused or out of date pet medicines and return them to us for safe disposal.
โŒ Donโ€™t throw them in household waste or down the toilet as this can harm wildlife, waterways, and the environment.
โŒ Donโ€™t save medicines โ€œjust in caseโ€ as they can cause dangerous side effects if reused.

๐Ÿพ Why this matters:

Improper disposal pollutes the environment.

Misusing medicines (especially antibiotics, wormers & flea treatments) can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) meaning treatments may no longer work when pets really need them.

Antibiotics arenโ€™t always the answer; many conditions donโ€™t benefit from them.

๐ŸŒ Do your part to protect pet health, people, and the planet.
Return unused medicines to us.
