🌞 Being vigilant about skincare is just as important in animals as it is in people.

⏳If you notice any unusual lumps, bumps, or skin changes, prompt veterinary attention may make a big difference in the course of action required. Mast cell tumors, squamous cell carcinomas, and melanomas are some of the more common skin tumors seen in small animal practice.

🔎This gorgeous little whippet was presented to Dr. Claire Rose when his very observant owners noticed a small, dark lump under his haircoat at the base of his ear.

⭐️The small size of the mass meant that it could be easily removed and sent for histopathology. Fortunately, the results confirmed that the mass was benign, and no further treatment was required.

🔬If unusual masses are presented once they’ve reached a considerable size, removing anything cancerous with clear margins becomes much more difficult. There is also a greater risk of malignant cells spreading to other parts of the body.

✅ Do your pets have any lumps or bumps that you're concerned about? For your peace of mind, make an appointment today.

Continuing with the theme of eye care this week.. 👀

Enucleation, or the surgical removal of an eye, is sometimes necessary when an eye is severely damaged, diseased or painful and not responding to medical management

Enucleation is often the last resort but in most of these cases, once the eye is removed the patient’s quality of life is greatly improved.

Fortunately, pets adapt very well to life with one eye and return to their active happy selves in no time.

📸 Dr Rob Page removed Fluffy's right eye last week. Despite everyone’s best efforts in treatment, this eye failed to respond.

Have you heard of the condition called ‘Cherry Eye?’ 🍒👁️

Cherry eye is a condition where the gland (the nictitans gland) of a dog’s third eyelid prolapses. This gland is responsible for producing tears.

🐶 Dogs will present with a classic red, swollen mass near the inner corner of the eye. While not typically painful, the condition can cause irritation, an increase in discharge, and increase the risk of infection if left untreated.

Prompt veterinary attention is recommended to prevent complications.

🩺 Treatment options may include medical management. However surgical correction is often required to reposition the gland and maintain your dog’s ocular health.

Do your dogs like to play with or chew on sticks?

🚫 Unfortunately sticks do not make great play toys. Not only can they splinter and cause issues if ingested, they can also cause traumatic injuries.

🐕 Poor Dusty found this out the hard way when he took a tumble with a stick in his mouth. Unfortunately this caused the stick to puncture the back of his mouth and become firmly embedded.

🏥 Dusty’s owners called us and brought him straight in, where we had to place Dusty under a light anaesthetic to examine his mouth and remove the stick. Once the stick was removed, the area was cleaned and examined further. Luckily, the stick had not damaged any major nearby structures such as the airway and oesophagus, and had only gone through the soft tissue just behind his molars.

With plenty of pain relief and some antibiotics, Dusty went home that night and enjoyed a soft meal for dinner 🥘

🐶 Do you know that umbilical hernia’s are a relatively common finding in puppies?

Most hernias are found during a puppy’s first health check and vaccination. Usually small reducible umbilical hernias are simply monitored until they are repaired at the time of desexing.
