Meet Our vet team
🐾 Dr Lucy Charleson 🐾
Clinic days: Tuesday to Friday
This week we caught up with Lucy to see what she has been up to. On the weekend she enjoyed walking her dog Bessie (cavalier king Charles spaniel) in the spring weather, tucked into some delicious meals with her friends and relaxed with one of her favourite books.
We asked her what interesting cases she had during her work week? Lucy had a cat who had serve anaemia. Anemia is a rare condition that occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough red blood cells, leading to fatigue and weakness which can lead to other health conditions if left untreated. The only treatment is a blood transfusion. Anaemia in cats is usually associated with the feline aids virus so the best prevention is vaccination.
We asked Lucy what spring means to her, Lucy is looking forward to the warmer weather the longer days, blooming flowers and Halloween! she wants to remind pet owners to be cautious with treats and chocolate around this time as they can be toxic if ingested by our fur babies.
