Meet Lilly, the courageous little Burmese battling liver cancer with grace and resilience. 🐱💪 Lilly has been with us for a while as we manage her condition with a carefully tailored regimen, including corticosteroids, CBD oil, liver-supportive herbal medications, and medicinal mushrooms. 🌿🍄

Despite doing well on her treatment plan, Lilly sometimes experiences periods of inappetence. To ensure she continues to receive her medications and necessary nutrients during these times, Lilly has a feeding tube in place. This setup allows her dedicated owners to care for her without stress, ensuring Lilly doesn't quickly deteriorate when she's less inclined to eat. 🍼💊

Last week, we replaced her feeding tube and fitted her with a new kitty collar to hold it in place. Here's Lilly, not just surviving but thriving, and truly living her best life! 🌟🐾 Take a look at the photos to see how well she's doing!

Have you seen a dog cruising around the peninsula in a bright blue remote controlled car? 🚙

Meet Wilbur, the spirited 13-year-old Sealyham Terrier! Despite facing mobility challenges and waiting for cruciate surgery, Wilbur refuses to miss out on his beloved walks. Thanks to his loving owner's ingenious solution, Wilbur can still soak up the coastal vibes from the comfort of his remote-controlled ride. 🌊🐾

Wilbur looks effortlessly cool in his custom wheels, and he's all set to get back on his feet after his upcoming surgery. Here’s to more sunny days and seaside adventures for Wilbur! 🌟💙

Meet Roy, the charismatic senior who never misses his check-up! 🐾 Roy regularly travels to us for his senior care, and his owner couldn't be happier with the proactive approach we take towards his health. Thanks to regular visits, Roy has shown remarkable improvements in energy, mobility, and overall happiness. 🌟

But let’s be honest, Roy might just be here for the treats! 🍪😉 He knows exactly where we keep the good stuff, and his tail starts wagging the minute he walks through the door. Here’s to keeping our older furry friends feeling their best! 🥳💕

Meet Little Sp*edo, the pup with a big appetite and an even bigger adventure! 🐶🌟 Last week, Sp*edo had a bit of a scare when he ate a bully stick too quickly, and it got stuck in his esophagus.

Can you spot it in the chest X-ray, just above the heart?

Sp*edo came into the clinic feeling distressed, continually trying to retch. But don't worry, our skilled team was on the case! We quickly anaesthetized Sp*edo and used our endoscope to locate the stuck piece. With precision, we guided our long forceps to grasp and gently remove it. 🏥🔍✨

Thankfully, there was no damage to his esophagus, and here's Sp*edo in recovery, licking his lips and already looking for his next meal! 🍽️😋 While he's made a sp*edy recovery and headed home happy, this is a cautionary tale. We don't recommend bully sticks for dogs who tend to eat quickly or for those with some teeth missing, as they can pose a choking hazard. 🚫🐾

Remember, always choose treats that are safe and suitable for your pet's eating habits and dental health. Sp*edo's story ended happily, and we're here to make sure every pet's does! 🌈🐕

🌊🐋 I’ve just returned from an epic adventure in Western Australia, and Exmouth was absolutely incredible! Swimming with Whale Sharks was a dream come true—these majestic giants, gliding with such gentle grace, left me in awe of their sheer size and beauty.

The thrill didn’t end there; we also had an exciting encounter with a hammerhead shark (thankfully, I wasn’t in the water at that moment)! 🦈✨ It’s experiences like these that remind me of the awe-inspiring wonders of our ocean.

Now, I’m really looking forward to getting back to the clinic and catching up with all of my amazing clients and their beloved pets.
