Meet brave Elly! 🤗

Elly was in for her second puppy vaccination 💉 the other day.
She was so brave for her vet visit 🐾

26/06/2024

Sphinx was in the other day as she had unfortunately developed a condition called pyometra which is an infection in the uterus. 🐈‍⬛

Thankfully it can fixed by desexing and although she doesn't look very happy about it now I'm sure she will appreciate it later. 🥰

Spaying your female pets is an easy way to prevent this from happening as it can be fatal if not treated quickly, they main symptoms to look out for is pusy discharge from the v***a, along with lethargy, inappetence and potentially vomiting and diarrhoea. Mostly in older un desexed female pets but can happen in young pets also.

If you have any concerns of this with your pets don't hesitate to book a consult with your vet as soon as possible. 📞
