Lucy was the very bravest and best girl waiting politely for her scan today. She made a new friend in our nurse Nathan and got an awful lot of cuddles to help when she was feeling a little bit nervous ❤️❤️❤️

Hi everyone, if any one is doing a clear out of old towels or blankets (not duvets/pillows as we can't disinfect them properly) we would be glad of them as we often send pets home with them and would refer not to add to landfill waste if we can! Also another reminder that we often have cardboard boxes if anyone needs them for house moving etc.

Thank you!

Beautiful Clover came to see us a couple of weeks ago as her owner had noticed some vulval discharge. An ultrasound scan revealed abnormalities and fluid in her uterus so we took her to surgery where we found she had a pyometra. Pyometra is a infection of the womb which can lead to sepsis and even death. Clover responded really well to surgery and has recovered uneventfully. She came in for stitches out on Friday and was the bravest, most gentle girl ❤️❤️❤️

Weepy is a little cat we met a few months ago as part of a TNR neutering. Weepy was part of a local colony and although she was being fed well, she was always undergrown and full of flu. We decided to neuter her even though it would be a high risk anaesthetic given that she was small and poorly, but we felt there was no choice because if she became pregnant she would really struggle.

The surgery went well but we decided to keep her in the clinic overnight as we didn't want her going back outside immediately. We couldn't believe how friendly and sweet Weepy was. As often happens at Acorn House, one thing led to another and we all fell in love with her. Weepy ended up staying at the clinic for over a week before being rehomed by our receptionist, Naoise. Weepy was just so adorable (despite the snot!) and she made it very clear than she did not want to be an outdoor cat anymore so we got her on a medication regime to support her body and clear up her eyes and nose.

Fast forward to now and Weepy is flying, she is still petite but has doubled in size and she no longer needs daily medication as her immune system is strong enough to deal with the flu virus. She will likely have flare ups over her lifetime but we are well able to deal with this and she is loving her life as a pampered lap cat.

We love a happy ending!

Beautiful little Simba was in for a procedure yesterday and he was very brave. Simba has a number of underlying issues making him a higher anaesthetic risk so it was all hands on deck with two nurses and a vet with him every step of the way. We were delighted to send him home happy and safe!

Rabbit surgery in general is delicate and more complex in many ways than operating on dogs and cats and I was particularly anxious about this surgery given that the patient, Bunny, is a beloved member of our own family and her owner is a particularly demanding client with very high standards.

First the skin grafts were meticulously prepped, measured and placed, before the graft surgery could begin. A continuous inverted suture pattern was performed, resulting in good apposition and we expect Bunny to make a full recovery. Hopefully her owner will approve.

Celebrating the happy story of lovely little Papi.

Papi presented to us as a second opinion having been given medication at a different vets. When we first met Papi it quickly became clear that he was very unwell. He underwent a series of tests and it became evident that an inflamed prostate was causing him to be unable to void his bladder fully, leading to secondary kidney failure. This complex case required treating his prostrate, his bladder and his kidneys all at once. We ran blood tests, performed ultrasonography, cystocentesis, urine analysis and microscopy, placed intravenous fluid lines and inserted a urinary catheter allowing us to drain his bladder and flush out the sediment build up. We also started treatment to shrink Papi's prostate.

Papi is one of those cases we will remember on a rainy day to cheer us up. On the Thursday he looked so miserable and we didn't think he would he pull through and yet Papi is a fighter. We managed to get Papi stabilised, making his bladder comfortable and helping his kidneys and he made a miraculous recovery and even went home to his loving family on the Saturday. We had him back in for a check up this week and he is doing fantastically. We are so happy for Papi who is the sweetest little boy and for his family who never gave up on him.

We have recently upgraded our microscope and we are in nerdy heaven! A good microscope allows us to evaluate urine, blood and faecal samples as well as skin cytology so is a vital part of the toolkit.

Beautiful little Bea did brilliantly at her first Puppy Club session today. Over the coming weeks Bea will learn lots of basic manners and little tricks and her owners will be given help with a wide variety of issues that arise when owning a puppy, including crate training, toilet training and socialisation. If you have a new puppy and would like some guidance through the early stages, just give us a ring and we'd be happy to help!

Well done Bea!

****Graphic video**** Gross but satisfying! This video shows our nurse Lizzy draining a huge abscess on a six month kitten. There was a whopping 150ml of pus inside the abscess so he was feeling very poorly but should soon be on the mend!

Beautiful Ben spent the weekend in the clinic. Although we were doing regular checks on him, we were a little bit worried he might be bored so we set him up watching YouTube on the clinic mobile phone Never fear, it turns out he loves a bit of cat tv! #acornhousevetclinic #screenaddict #felinefriendly #cattv📺😻

Positive news story! Gorgeous little Oreo presented to us off his food last week. Guinea pigs are very prone to dental disease and Oreo's teeth were trapping his tongue so he couldn't eat. We were so delighted to receive this video of little Oreo the day after his dental having a good munch ❤️
