Vet Nurse Care At Home

We promise this cat is not drugged in any way! 😜

Ragnar just simply doesn’t mind being grooming and happily lets us do what’s needed.

We even had to move him off the table when we were finished so that we could clean it and pack it away 😻

Angel does the best ‘Please sir, may I have some more’ eyes! 🐶

Angel needed to have her a**l glands expressed and she is such a good girl for it.
As long as she has snacks she couldn’t care less ❤️

It was a busy day for us taking our own kitty Tiffany to Oncology at Perth Veterinary Specialists.

The photo on the left is Tiffany last year. She’s loved by everyone that meets her and many try to convince me to let them adopt her 😜

The photo on the right is Tiffany’s eye currently which has been diagnosed as a Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This is an aggressive cancer and we are devastated with the diagnosis but there is hope.

A CT scan showed that Tiffany’s cancer hasn’t spread past the soft tissue. There is none in the bone or her lymph nodes which is great news and gives us quite a few treatment options.

The surgical teams have assessed her and are formulating a plan to decide if surgery is the right option to have the best chances of getting it all or if we go with Electro-chemotherapy. We may possibly need both!

Tiffany is an otherwise healthy 7 year old kitty so we are going to make sure that she kicks cancers butt!

This is going to cost a lot of money which we don’t have after spending $3k on our cat Bram’s specialist dental 6 weeks ago.

So we are putting everything we earn through Vet Nurse Care at Home towards Tiffany’s treatment.

We like our clients to know that most of what we earn goes towards making sure both our cats and our 9 Lives foster cats have a good life 💜🐾

How magnificent is Toby?!

With a bit of Gabapentin on board and the Dine licky treats, he did not choose violence for his lion clip as he has done previously.

We are so proud of him 😻

I call it a ‘Brazilian’ the belly/sanitary/underarms and in between

Ask your groomer for this clip to help with many issues like pictured below!

What do you name this clip?

I had to share 😹😹😹😹

🐾 I know it seems like we have been quiet as we haven’t been posting on our page much, but aside from the personal disasters we have been navigating we have actually been quite busy with lion clips, knot removals, nail clipping and pet sitting.

These are some of our happy customers from the last month 😻

We will be at the Cat Expo today so make sure you come and say hello 🐾

As a co founder of the expo it’s made me very time poor this last week and we also had a devastating diagnosis of cancer in one of our cats so we have been dealing with a lot.

So sincere apologies to those who’s PM’s I haven’t yet replied to and I promise I will respond to you all tomorrow 😻

Anytime a cat stops using the litter box it's a very stressful situation. There are many reasons your cat might stop using their litter box. One you not might..

It’s about time the Cat Dads got some love 😻

Today I had to say one of my hardest goodbyes.
My 19 year old boy Yowie told me it was time for him to cross over to the rainbow bridge.
He had FIV so 19 is an amazing age!
You aren’t meant to have favourites but my boy helped me raise and socialise many kittens.
He was the boss of the house and revered by so many cats who are going to wonder where he has gone.
The bed is going to seem so empty tonight without him sleeping in the crook of my arm as he did every night.
Thank you to all my clients who allowed me to rebook their appointments today.
It’s been a hard one 😿

Doing a call out in the hopes that Dina Hadzic with Mimi can send me an SMS on 0409587240.

I’m getting your PM msgs to do her grooming but it’s not letting me reply and when I click on your Facebook profile it’s says your not available.

For some reason I cannot find your phone number.

This is all I can think of to hopefully get you to contact me by mobile :)

We just wanted to say thank you to our clients who have been patient and understanding with us over the last few weeks 💙

First we got the flu very badly and poor Daniel got a chest infection because of it.
We had to rebook many of your appointments so many times as the bug just held on for so long.
This is why we ask that if clients are sick to please rebook appts with us
so we don’t get sick too.

This last week my nana fell and broke her hip which required surgery and was nail biting for our family because she was a high risk anaesthetic.
Thankfully she pulled through.

And just for some extra fun one of my foster cats bit me quite badly on the hand this week also which required quite a bit of time out to get treated.

They say things happen in 3’s so hopefully that’s it for us and we can get back on track to visit your fur babies for their appointments 😻

We clipped my mums cats nails this week and Sardy needed a bit of restraint as he likes to bite 😜

As you can see he was totally traumatised and felt the need to fall asleep on Daniels arm trapping him there for 15 mins as punishment for touching his paws! 😻

We had a scare with one of our senior foster boys today!

Carbucketty loves grooming other cats so ingests a lot of hair.
We have him on a hairball biscuit for this.

Today Daniel heard him trying to throw up.

When he went to check on him he found him collapsed and choking!

He checked inside his mouth to see if there was anything he needed to clear out of his mouth/throat but found nothing.

He then performed a Heimlich Manoeuvre on him and a massive fur ball dislodged and came up.

It had been obstructing his airway completely.

We are so thankful he was home as the outcome would have been devastating otherwise!

Carbucketty recovered quickly like nothing happened 😻

We will be adding Laxapet to his diet to better help the fur he insists on ingesting by grooming other cats!

This demonstrates several important things!

Hairball control is very important through dietary means, good grooming and supplements that help hairballs pass.

Some cats can choke like Carbucketty did and others can end up with intestinal obstructions that need surgical removal.

This is why some opt to have their cats lion clipped to prevent life threatening events.

It’s also very important to know basic pet first aid.

We will do our best to keep our prices the same but please remember to support your local small businesses so we can avoid having to raise them 🐾

Too funny! 🤣

DID YOU KNOW……..

That animals can have Physiotherapy too! 🐾

They get arthritis, aches and pains as well as injuries that require therapy to recover.

This doggo below had a cruciate injury that was able to be helped with a custom made brace to support the joint while it heals.

Pets can have acupuncture, laser therapy and of course physical therapy too.

One of my favourite Pet Physio’s is Susan of Physio’s for Pets.

You can see her wonderful work
in the video below.

Famous Cats in History 🐾

In this month’s blog post, I thought a change from our regular medical based articles was in need so today we are going to take a look back at some of the famous cats in history! Do you recognise some of these famous moggies or are you learning about them for the first time? The […]

When you have a name that isn’t generally used to name animals, it’s awesome when you meet one named Natalie 😻

A few weeks ago we clipped Natalie’s nails.
Her mum had adopted her 2 weeks before and she has settled in well.

She is also a blind kitty but that doesn’t stop her getting around 💜

We were very lucky to meet these adorable 10 puppies this week!

They all needed microchipping so they can start going to their forever homes!

They were rescued by A1 Wheatbelt Dog Rescue from someone who just kept letting their dogs breed out of control.

Contact A1 Wheatbelt Dog Rescue if you would like to give one of these Shar Pei crosses a loving home ❤️
