Polydactyl cats are born with extra toes, most often on their front paws. It’s a genetic trait and is usually completely harmless, just an extra dose of cute. That said, those extra toes can come with a few care considerations. More toes means more nails to trim, and sometimes they grow at different angles or are easier to snag if not maintained. Most polydactyl cats live totally normal, healthy lives, but regular paw checks and nail trims are important to keep them comfortable.

Meet Sonny 🐾💛

This sweet Lab is doing great after surgery for an aural hematoma and is rocking his no-flap head wrap like a pro while he heals.

An aural hematoma occurs when small blood vessels inside the ear flap rupture, causing blood to collect between the skin and cartilage. It’s often secondary to head shaking or scratching from underlying issues like ear infections, allergies, or irritation. Treatment typically involves surgically draining the fluid and addressing the underlying cause to help prevent recurrence.

Sonny is now in recovery mode, resting comfortably, staying protected, and getting plenty of love while his ear continues to heal. 🐶✨

To your cat… it’s actually a compliment! Cats groom the ones they trust. It can also be a way to bond, mark you with their scent, or just show a little love (in their own… chaotic way).

If it ever becomes excessive or obsessive, it could be a sign of stress or something medical, so keep an eye on it.

Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy Memorial Day!

As you spend time with family and friends, don’t forget to keep an eye on your furry family members too. Loud noises, hot weather, unattended food, and busy gatherings can all be stressful, or even dangerous, for pets.

A little extra caution can help make the holiday safe and enjoyable for everyone ❤️

Sweet Jinx came to us a few weeks ago because she was limping on her right hind leg. We performed a thorough physical exam and radiographs, and findings were consistent with a cranial cruciate ligament injury.

CCL injuries are a common orthopedic issues we see in dogs, and early diagnosis makes a big difference. Jinx is now on a tailored treatment plan to get her moving comfortably again. Wishing her a smooth recovery!

A cat’s nose print is completely unique, much like a human fingerprint. The tiny ridges and patterns on their nose create a one-of-a-kind identifier.

Changes in the appearance or texture of the nose can sometimes reflect hydration or overall health, so it’s always worth paying attention to what’s normal for your cat. Noticing changes? Call us: (804) 280-6611
