🐱 Today is Hug Your Cat Day! 🐱

It's the purr-fect excuse to give your feline friend a little extra love.

Whether your cat is a devoted lap-sitter or more of an "I'll allow it... for three seconds" type, today is all about celebrating the unique bond we share with our cats 🐾

Studies have also shown that interacting with cats can reduce stress and lower blood pressure!

We'd love to see your furry family members! Drop a photo of your cat in the comments — tolerated hugs, escaped hugs, and everything in between are all welcome 😺

Meet Gazo!

Poor Gazo came to us after having a painful wound on his bottom for a couple of months. For that whole time, the wound had kept oozing a steady stream of pus. A couple of courses of antibiotics had failed to fix the problem. The hole in his skin was only about 2 mm wide, but as soon as we saw it, we could see that we had to investigate further.

Gazo was put under general anaesthesia so that our vet could explore the wound. As soon the hole in the skin was enlarged, we could see the tell tale signs of a foreign body - numerous tracts of scar tissue heading in all different directions. After giving the wound a thorough flush with saline, and following a particularly deep pocket, look what we pulled out....

It's a chip off of another cat's tooth!

Now that the foreign body is removed we expect Gazo to make a full recovery!

🐝 Today is World Bee Day 🐝

Fun fact: Bees pollinate around a third of our food 🍊🫛🍓

While we appreciate all bees do, sometimes our curious pets can get too close 🐾

Our pets often get stings on their paw or faces. Stings can cause redness and some swelling. If can see the stinger you can remove it and then put a cold compress to relieve the swelling.

⚠️ Allergic reactions are more serious and should be seen promptly by a vet. Look out for:
> Widespread swelling, especially around the face and throat
> Vomiting & diarrhoea
> Pale or white gums
> Difficulty breathing
> Extreme weakness or collapse

If you're concerned give us a call on 09 478 4349 straight away

This week is Dog Anxiety Awareness Week 🐶

Research suggests that up to 70% of dogs display some anxiety related behaviours.

Anxiety can be triggered by many things, including separation from family members, sound sensitivity, changes in routine or new experiences.

Avoidance of new people and environments is a common sign of anxiety. Other signs include excessive barking, destructive behaviour, pacing, restlessness and toileting inside.

Some quick tips to manage anxiety include:
🐾 Provide a safe quiet place in your home that your dog can retreat to.
🐾Teach your dog simple games and tricks they can focus on doing when they are anxious.
🐾 Comfort your dog when they are worried, it won’t make them worse.
🐾 Stick to routines

If these aren’t helping or you have any concerns please book a consult to have a chat with our vet Cathy so we can give you personalised advice.

🌿 Meet Zara — our most grass-prone patient!
Zara visited us this week with quite an unusual ailment... a strand of grass stuck up her nose! 😮 And if you're thinking "surely this can't be a regular occurrence" — think again! This was the 4th time it's happened to Zara! 😄

Poor Zara was understandably uncomfortable, but luckily this time the grass was just sticking out of her nose, meaning our team was able to gently pull it out without any sedation. We were all amazed at just how long that piece of grass was! 🌿

This was a best-case scenario — when grass is fully inhaled it can travel deep into the nasal passages. So if you ever notice your cat sneezing excessively, pawing at their nose, or having trouble breathing, don't wait — get them checked out! ⚠️🐱

Zara is now breathing freely and back to her normal self.
