🐾 Think Like a Cat: Choosing the Right Carrier 🐾
While those trendy cat backpacks might look cool, they don’t meet the comfort needs of our feline friends! Based on guidelines from the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), choosing a stable, enclosed carrier where your cat feels secure and hidden is essential—this makes all the difference in reducing stress during transport.
🚗 ISFM-Approved Tips for a Cat-Friendly Carrier:
🟣Choose Stability: A sturdy, front-loading carrier offers more security than open-style bags or backpacks, which can make cats feel exposed and anxious.
🟣Prioritize Comfort: Look for a cozy, enclosed interior that helps cats feel protected.
🟣Easy Access: Carriers with accessible openings make it simpler to place your cat inside gently and reduce the stress of getting in and out.
Come by our clinic, and we’ll help you pick the best ISFM-recommended carrier to keep your cat calm and comfortable on every trip!

🐾 Is Your Cat Slowing Down? Spotting the Signs of Arthritis in Cats 🐾
Cats are masters at hiding pain, which makes it easy to miss the signs of arthritis—a common condition, especially in aging cats. Due to joint pain and stiffness, Osteoarthritis can make simple activities like jumping, playing, or moving around uncomfortable.
Signs Your Cat May Have Arthritis:
🟣Difficulty jumping or avoiding high places they once loved
🟣Peeing or pooping outside the litter box due to discomfort
🟣Hiding more often or seeming unusually timid or aggressive
🟣Reduced activity and less interest in play
🟣Irritability or change in behavior
🌟 Effective Management Can Help
While there’s no cure, we can significantly improve your cat’s quality of life with tailored management, including weight control, pain relief, and environmental changes. We also offer a monthly injection that helps relieve arthritis pain, making a noticeable difference in their comfort and happiness.

🐾 Brachycephalic Breeds & Breathing Health 🐾
Did you know that brachycephalic syndrome makes breathing a constant struggle for many dogs? Breeds like Pugs, Bulldogs (English and French), and Shih Tzus are affected by Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), which is characterized by narrowed nostrils, an elongated soft palate, and a small windpipe.
🚨 Signs to Watch For
If your short-nosed pet shows signs like snoring, loud breathing, gagging, vomiting, or sensitivity to heat, it could be dealing with BOAS. This is a serious, ongoing issue for these dogs that can even lead to sudden breathing crises if left untreated. Regular evaluations are key—dogs at risk should be seen every six months to catch and manage symptoms early.
✨ Reconstructive Surgery for a Better Quality of Life
Our team offers specialized upper airway reconstructive surgery to open airways and improve breathing. Many dogs experience immediate relief and a brighter quality of life post-surgery. Early diagnosis, weight management, and avoiding heat stress are essential to managing this condition.
📞 We’re Here to Help! Book a BOAS evaluation today to support your pet’s comfort and well-being. Call +971 4 344 7812 to schedule an appointment!

🐾 Meet Moscow, our adorable poodle! After a minor accident left him with carpal instability, he struggled to keep up on walks and was limping. His initial vet referred him to Panacea Vets' rehabilitation department.
🟣Carpal instability occurs when the bones in the wrist (carpus) lose their normal alignment, leading to abnormal movement within the joint. This can cause pain, limping, and reduced mobility. In mild cases, conservative treatments like acupuncture and therapy can be very effective, while more severe cases may require surgery.
✨ With acupuncture, pulse magnetic field therapy, and hydrotherapy, Moscow began to heal. He relaxed during his sessions with Hilke, and we started seeing positive progress.
Now, he's back to bounding through the park and spreading joy! At Panacea Vets, we believe in the power of rehabilitation and physical therapy to help pets thrive! 💜

✨Short-haired cats may not need much brushing, but long-haired beauties like Maine Coons and Persians require extra care!
🟣Unlike the Norwegian Forest Cat, which developed long fur for cold weather, these breeds were bred for their luxurious coats. Regular brushing for the topcoat and combing for the undercoat is a must. 😺And don’t forget—overweight cats of all breeds may need help grooming their backs!

Why FeLV Vaccination is Crucial for Outdoor Cats❓
FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) vaccination is essential for cats with outdoor access to protect them from this severe and potentially fatal disease.
🟣While we don’t recommend it for strictly indoor cats, it’s necessary for those who venture outside.
🟣We strongly encourage you to check your cat’s vaccination booklet and ensure that FeLV is up-to-date. In addition to FeLV, we also provide vaccinations for rabies as required by local laws, as well as the triple vaccine, which covers panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus.
😺Your cat’s health and safety are our top priority. Visit us at Panacea Vets to keep your furry friend protected!

The Importance of Blood Tests for Senior Pets 🐾🧪
🟣Unlike us, pets can’t talk or tell us about the subtle changes they might feel. That’s why regular blood & urine tests are so necessary, especially for senior pets! As they age, health issues can creep up without showing any obvious signs, and your pet might be hiding discomfort.
🟣We recommend screening pets over 8 years old every 6 months to catch any potential health concerns early. In cats, this includes checking their blood pressure and T4 thyroid levels.These simple tests help us monitor their overall health and ensure they age comfortably and healthily.
💜Book your senior pet’s checkup at Panacea Vets today and help them live their golden years to the fullest! 🌟
