There are many hazards for your pets over the Christmas season! Although it may be tempting to share your festive food with your pets, think twice before feeding them human food. Lots of things that we enjoy can make them sick, so it's best to try to stick to their normal food. No one wants to spend Christmas at an emergency centre with their pet! 🍗 🍰

Christmas lights and decorations can also prove dangerous for curious kitties and dogs! Ensure that you decorate with your pets in mind, and keep anything dangerous out of reach. 🎄

This little darling is Azura 🥰 she is a blue Burmese and is just over one year old. She was in recently so we could have a better look at her teeth while she was anaesthetized (as you can imagine, trying to examine an active young cat's teeth is quite difficult!). She had previously come in for a consultation with Dr Lee and her teeth had appeared..... unusual!

Once anaesthetized, it was confirmed that she had an extra tooth, not just on one side, but an extra one on both sides of her bottom jaw! Dental xrays were taken, so we could get a better look at what was going on under the gum.

As her xrays show, the extra tooth (on one side in particular) is growing sideways, and removing it would be a delicate procedure with a lot of care needed not to damage her other teeth. After consultation with her owner, it was decided to wake her up without removing them, and to refer her (along with her very impressive xrays) to a veterinary dentist in order to gain advice on the best way to proceed. Although nothing much changed for Azura on the day, we gained valuable information to help decide on the best way forward for her and her future dental health.

We loved having Azura stay with us for the day - she loved a cuddle and didn't stop purring!

Can you spot her extra teeth on her xray? 🦷🤔

Here is Stacie, modelling a bandana and some socks from Zylkene!!

Zylkene is a supplement that comes in capsule form and is made from a milk protein. It is used to help relax and our cats and dogs during times of stress. Zylkene comes in different sizes based on weight and is available over the counter at the clinic.

This little cutie is Mishi 💞 she was in recently for surgery and we loved having her stay with us for the day! She breezed through her operation and comfortably slept the afternoon away (in between cuddles of course!).

We recently celebrated another birthday at Elgar Road Vet 🎂
Rachael and Tara are pictured here with their shared birthday cake!

Last month we saw the marvellous Cameron! He is a very handsome red Burmese who was feeling a bit off colour. After some anti-nausea medication and pain relief, he was feeling a lot better. Burmese are prone to certain gastrointestinal conditions such as pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, and Cameron's owners are great at noticing when he isn't feeling his best.

You can see one of the photos is mid-meow - that was him silently protesting about his visit! Despite that, he is a staff favourite and always gets cuddles from our cat-crazy nurses 🐱

We recently had a different sort of visitor at Elgar Road Vet - oh wait, it's just Mitzi dressed up for Halloween! How adorable does she look in her little bat outfit - we were sure to give her lots of treats 🦇🦇

It was Dr Nicole's birthday recently! Here she is celebrating at work - we hope you had a great day Nicole 🥳
