Ear Infections in Pets - Are They All The Sameโ“

Did you know there are different types of ear infections in pets? Understanding them can make a big difference in your pet's comfort and health! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

๐Ÿ”ต Otitis Externa: Affects the outer ear canalโ€”look for redness, swelling and discharge.
๐Ÿ”ต Otitis Media: Middle ear infectionโ€”can cause pain, hearing loss and balance issues.
๐Ÿ”ต Otitis Interna: The most seriousโ€”impacts the inner ear, often leading to coordination problems and potential hearing loss.

These infections can be caused by bacteria, yeast, ear mites or allergies.
Each type requires different care, so if your pet shows any symptoms, please call us to book an appointment. ๐Ÿ“ž

Spring Pet Safety ๐ŸŒธ

Springtime is an opportunity to get outdoors with our pets and enjoy the sunshine, but we also need to take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Plants, parasites and garden products can be toxic for pets, and allergies also tend to flare up at this time of year. ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒž

Check the attached infographic and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call for advice. โค

Fun Fact Friday! ๐Ÿพ

Did you know that dogs have a sense of time? โฐ If youโ€™ve ever noticed your pup getting antsy around mealtime or waiting by the door when youโ€™re about to arrive home, itโ€™s not just a coincidence! ๐Ÿ•

Dogs have an internal mechanism called circadian rhythm that helps them keep track of time. This amazing ability allows them to anticipate when itโ€™s time for food or when their favourite human is due home, even if their routine is a bit off. ๐Ÿ•’๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Why do we desex cats and dogs? ๐Ÿค”

๐ŸŒŸ Hyperthyroidism in Cats: What You Need to Know ๐ŸŒŸ

Is your cat eating more but losing weight? ๐Ÿฑ
They might be showing signs of hyperthyroidism, a common condition in older cats where the thyroid gland produces too much hormone. This can lead to symptoms such as:

๐Ÿ”ธ Increased appetite
๐Ÿ”ธ Weight loss
๐Ÿ”ธ Restlessness
๐Ÿ”ธ Increased thirst
๐Ÿ”ธ Vomiting or diarrhoea

Early diagnosis is key! If you notice these signs, please consult with our vets for a check-up. Treatment options are available to help your feline friend live a healthier, happier life. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

It's Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ˜ป

Did you knowโ“
Ginger cats have a predominance of a certain pigment known as pheomelaninโ€”the same pigment that produces red hair in humans!
Ginger cats are also more likely to be male than female. This is because the โ€œginger geneโ€ which produces the orange color is on the X chromosome.

BREED SPOTLIGHT: Norwegian Forest Cat ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿพ

The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, heavily b***d, heavily coated cat. They are muscular and look like the hunters they used to be. Being territorial, the Norwegian likes room to make their own. They enjoy running, hiding and ambushing their toys! Perches and room to run should be provided.

Norwegian Forest Cats are sweet and loving. They appreciate praise and love to interact with their parents. They makes loving companions and bond with their parents once they accept them for their own. ๐Ÿ’ž

Norwegian Forest cats must be groomed daily to keep their coat free from knots and tangles, especially during shedding season. This grooming can be incorporated into play time, but generally they enjoy being groomed. As with all thick coated cats, a hairball remedy may need to be given when regular shedding is occurring.

Norwegian Forest cats live an average of 8-14 years. ๐Ÿ’“

๐Ÿ’ฅ The Importance of Dental X-rays ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Our pets simply cannot tell us when their teeth are sore or if they are in any pain.
Dental x-rays in animals are similar to those taken in humans. An x-ray machine using small amounts of radiation is used to see the inside of your pet's teeth and those areas below the gum line that are hidden from view. ๐Ÿฆท๐Ÿฉป
Unlike humans, our pets need to be under general anaesthesia. Without anaesthesia, the x-ray sensor cannot be accurately placed. They are also required to be still during the oral assessment, treatment and prevention procedures.

Our pets may need an oral examination under anaesthesia when they are displaying these signs:

๐Ÿฆท Discoloured or fractured teeth
๐Ÿฆท Swollen and inflamed gums
๐Ÿฆท Oral growths
๐Ÿฆท Tartar
๐Ÿฆท Bad breath

Even without any of these signs, pets should have their mouths x-rayed at least once every year. People routinely have dental x-rays at least every other year.
To book a dental health check for your pet please call our friendly nurses. ๐Ÿ“ž

How do dental chews work? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿฆท

Dental chews for pets serve as a convenient and enjoyable way to help maintain your pet's dental hygiene. They work by addressing several oral health concerns that cats and dogs commonly face, such as plaque buildup, tartar formation, bad breath and gum disease.

1๏ธโƒฃ Mechanical Action. Dental chews have a textured surface that helps mechanically remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. As your pet chews, the abrasive action of the chew helps to scrape off the buildup of plaque, which is a soft film of bacteria that can eventually harden into tartar.

2๏ธโƒฃ Saliva Stimulation. Chewing on dental treats encourages the production of saliva. Saliva plays a natural cleansing role in the mouth, helping to wash away food particles and bacteria. Increased saliva production can aid in reducing the bacterial population in your pet's mouth.

3๏ธโƒฃ Ingredients for Oral Health. Many dental chews contain ingredients that are specifically chosen to support oral health. These might include enzymes that help break down plaque, antimicrobial agents that target bacteria, and other compounds that contribute to overall mouth health.

4๏ธโƒฃ Chewing Action. The act of chewing itself can help strengthen the muscles of the jaw and maintain healthy gum tissue. This chewing action can also stimulate blood flow to the gums, which is essential for your petโ€™s health.

5๏ธโƒฃ Freshening Breath. Some dental chews contain ingredients like chlorophyll, mint or other freshening agents that can help improve your pet's breath by reducing the odour-causing bacteria in their mouth.

It's important to note that while dental chews can be a useful addition to your pet's oral care routine, they are not a substitute for regular veterinary dental care. It's a good idea to consult with our vets before introducing dental chews into your pet's diet, especially if they have any pre-existing dental issues or dietary restrictions. ๐Ÿ’™
