Does your dog experience episodes of “reverse sneezing”? 😮‍💨

Reverse sneezing is when pets appear to get stuck in a temporary loop of snorting air in via their nose, almost as though they have something stuck in their nose or throat.

While a lot of dogs will reverse sneeze on occasion, it tends to occur more frequently in pets with overlong soft palates (such as flat-faced breeds), long-nosed sighthounds, and pets experiencing nose or throat irritation due to allergies or airborne irritants such as pollen or smoke.

If you have any concerns about your dog’s respiratory health, take a deep breath and consult our veterinary team! 🐾

PSA (Pet Service Announcement): please don’t forget to stay on top of regular parasite prevention for your pet, especially as the weather warms up! ☀️🐕

Warmer conditions favour the survival and breeding of pesky parasites such as fleas, ticks and some intestinal worms. Additionally, in heartworm-endemic areas, mosquitoes capable of spreading dangerous heartworm disease between pets will also become more active.

For advice on the safest and most effective parasite prevention routines for your pet, consult our knowledgeable team.

Does your cat get runny eyes? 👀

Persians and similar breeds are more likely to get regular eye goop due to their flatter facial anatomy. However, recurrent eye discharge can also be associated with other health issues, such as environmental allergies or cat flu.

If your cat regularly gets weepy eyes but seems otherwise fine, we’d recommend twice daily cleaning around their eyes with a clean, warm, wet compress. However, if your cat’s eye discharge is associated with any redness, irritation, or other unwellness, it’s best to have them checked by one of our vets.

When it comes to feline eye health, our team is eye-mazing!

Do you know the signs of flea infestation in cats? 😿

Being only 2-4mm long and mobile, these parasites can be difficult to spot, especially since cats usually endeavour to groom fleas out of their fur. You’re more likely to detect their presence by parting the fur in several areas around your pet’s rump to look for tiny black “flea dirt” (flea poo) granules.

It’s also a good idea to monitor for signs of your cat grooming or scratching more, or the development of red, scabby dots or bald spots on the skin around their head, neck, rump or belly. 🐈

If you suspect fleas in your pet, consult our pest-proficient team for advice on effective and safe treatment options.

As we spring into Spring, watch out for more “creepy crawlies” about! 🐜🌼 As well as increased activity of common parasites like fleas and ticks, the warmer weather will likely bring your pet into contact with more ants and bees.

For most dogs, ant and bee stings result in local irritation or pain only, although this may still require veterinary treatment to settle.

However, for pets with severe allergies, an insect sting may trigger dangerous anaphylaxis. This leads to severe allergy symptoms such as weakness, vomiting, breathing difficulties, and pale gums, and necessitates urgent veterinary care.

🐶 For more information on allergies in pets, contact our allergy-aware team.

During a dental, your dog is placed under anaesthesia for comfort and safety. A thorough dental requires cleaning under the gum line, which is practically impossible in a conscious animal. 🐕

While under anaesthesia, we remove tartar, clean below the gumline, polish teeth, take dental x-rays and check for hidden issues. We can also remove or remedy teeth if problems are detected. Your pet will be given pain relief and wake with a fresh mouth after the short procedure.

If you want to learn more about what happens during your dog’s dental clean, feel free to book a consultation with us today! 📞

Some breeds, like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, can have higher anaesthetic risks, particularly if they have a heart murmur or clinical heart disease.

Regardless of their breed, we always tailor anaesthesia plans and monitoring for every pet’s safety. We will discuss your pet’s needs with you before any procedure. 👨‍⚕️😺👩‍⚕️

While it is generally not recommended to combine a ‘clean’ surgery, such as a lump removal, with a ‘dirty’ surgery, such as a dental, every situation varies.

Dentals can spread bacteria in the air and increase bacteria circulating in the blood, which is generally not conducive to a sterile surgery.

Ultimately, combining procedures depends on your pet and your vet’s advice. Have a chat with us to find out what’s best for your pet. 🩺 🐈

Daily brushing is the gold standard for your dog’s dental health. This is because conditions like plaque take less than 24 hours to begin forming. Brushing your dog’s teeth helps prevent this from progressing. 🪥🐶

When you start brushing your dog’s teeth at home, use pet-safe toothpaste and a soft human or dog toothbrush. Start slow, reward calm behaviour, and make it a positive routine.

Regular cleans help prevent serious dental disease and keep your cat’s mouth healthy and pain free. Don’t hesitate to ask us what schedule is best for your feline friend!

A pink or red tooth in cats may indicate Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL). This painful condition causes the tooth to break down, and results in difficulty eating, pain and distress.

Cat’s teeth should normally be white, whole and not chipped or broken, and the gums not raised or inflamed. 😸

If you notice one of your cat’s teeth is no longer white, book a dental check for your cat right away.

Cats can face dental emergencies at any stage in their life, such as broken teeth, abscesses, or severe gum inflammation due to a viral infection. Look for drooling, pawing at the mouth, lethargy or refusing food. 🐱🦷

Prompt vet care can prevent more pain or complications, so it’s important to contact us straight away if you notice these signs.
