Did you know that monitoring an older cat’s weight is one simple way of keeping an eye on their general health?
Unexpected weight loss can happen secondary to some health conditions that are more common in older cats, such as chronic kidney disease, an overactive thyroid, or gut disease, and may be one of the first symptoms noted.
We recommend that cats eight years of age and older undergo a full health assessment (including a weigh-in and body condition check) every 6-12 months. Depending on your pet’s recent history, we may also recommend blood and urine tests too.

Colitis refers to inflammation of the large bowel, which can lead to symptoms such as increased defecation frequency and urgency, straining, and loose stools (which may contain blood or mucus).
If your pet suffers from a sudden bout of colitis, you can try temporarily offering them an easily digestible diet (e.g. cooked skinless chicken breast or springwater tuna, plus cooked pumpkin).
However, if their symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, or they show other signs of unwellness such as lethargy or vomiting, we’d recommend a prompt check-up with our tummy-taming vets🚨🐶!

19/06/2024

Have you heard of splenic tumours? These are tumours that can grow on the spleen of dogs, and may or may not spread to other organs.
Splenic tumours can sometimes be found incidentally on physical examination (if they are large enough in size) but affected pets may also present as a sudden emergency case if a previously undetected tumour ruptures and begins bleeding into their belly.
As older pets are more prone to this issue, we recommend a full physical check-up every 6-12 months for all dogs eight years of age and older.
For more information on older pet health checks, consult our elderly-pet educated team🐕👴!

Did you know that paracetamol is poisonous to cats?
Unlike humans, cats are unable to properly metabolise this drug, leading to the production of toxic by-products that can cause potentially fatal damage to their liver and red blood cells.
It’s important to never administer paracetamol to your cat, even if they seem in pain. If you ever suspect your pet to have accidentally eaten paracetamol, please phone our hospital or the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately for further advice ☎🆘.
To ensure the safest healthcare for your four-legged friend, always consult our helpful team!

Whilst NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as carprofen and meloxicam can be great for relieving inflammatory pain in pets, they should still be used with caution.
NSAIDs should only be administered to pets who are well-hydrated and in reasonable general organ health. If used inappropriately or at excessive doses, NSAIDs can unfortunately cause damage to the kidneys or liver. They may also cause gut irritation, particularly in pets with “sensitive tummies” or when used for longer periods.
For advice on the safe use of NSAIDs in your pet, please consult our pharmacologically-proficient vets 🏥💊.

10/06/2024

Whilst monitoring a dog’s poo is no-one’s favourite pastime, it can be a great simple indicator of a pet’s general health.
A bout of pet diarrhoea is generally not an emergency, but we’d advise a prompt check-up if your pet is also becoming lethargic or weak 🐶💤, or if they are passing blood or losing large volumes of fluid💧. Additionally, it’s also a good idea to have young puppies and kittens or older pets with pre-existing health issues assessed quickly.
When it comes to supporting pet gastrointestinal health, our team can do you a solid!

Did you know that just like us, cats can suffer from high blood pressure, also known as hypertension?
Hypertension in cats often occurs secondary to other health issues, such as kidney disease or an overactive thyroid gland.
Unfortunately, it can have dangerous consequences, potentially causing severe damage to the retinas in the eyes (leading to sudden blindness 🚫👀), as well as the heart and kidneys ❤🐱.
If you have a cat ten years of age or older, ask our vets about proactive organ health and blood pressure monitoring for your pet. Together, we can help keep your cat feline fine!

🐈‍⬛ 🤗 HUG YOUR CAT DAY 🤗 🐈‍⬛

Hooray hooray it’s Hug Your Cat Day! Hug Your Cat Day is celebrated every year on the 4th June.

Make some extra special time today for you and your cat.

Please remember that not all cats actually like to be hugged. Some cats like physical contact on their own terms, whether it be a pat under the chin, or just to be curled up on your lap.

Never force your pet to be hugged if they don’t like it. Respect their boundaries so that you may enjoy each other’s company in a relaxed and happy state.

Does your cat enjoy a cuddle? Or do they prefer their own space?

Show us a picture of your cat enjoying Hug Your Cat Day. 🧡

Acute kidney injury (AKI) involves sudden kidney damage. It can be caused by severe general unwellness (such as inflammation of the pancreas) or issues that directly affect kidney health (including grape toxicity in dogs or lily toxicity in cats 🍇🌺).
Pets with AKI may show changes in their drinking and urination levels, as well as vomiting, lethargy, weakness, or bad breath.
If your pet ever shows similar symptoms, it’s best to have them checked promptly by our kidney-competent veterinarians. AKI can be detected with blood and urine tests and has a much better prognosis if treated early.

🌱 WINTER IS HERE - WORM YOUR PETS 🌱

Pets require intestinal worming every 3 months.

An easy way to remember this, is to worm your pets at every change of season. Now that Winter is here, pop a worm pill into your friendly feline or your precious pooch.

Please note that your pet should be wormed more frequently if they are less than 6 months of age.

29/05/2024

Be assured that our team is providing loving care for your pets during their stay with us. 🐾

It can be tempting to use leftover pet medications to treat any new or recurrent illness your pet has. However, we do not recommend this because we dose on weight and your pet’s weight might have changed since your last visit, the medication might be expired particularly after it’s already opened, and your pet’s medical issue might be different (even if it appears the same) from last time. 🚫💊🐾

Always ask us first before reaching for any medication lying around the house.

22/05/2024

While it’s possible to buy first aid kits for pets, you can also make one yourself at home. 🚑🐶💼 Include items like a re**al thermometer, gauze swabs, soft and elastic bandages, saline and an antiseptic like chlorhexidine.

The intention of a first aid kit is to stabilise the wound or injury before seeking further veterinary care, particularly if there is the risk of infection. For some wounds, such as dog and cat bites, the risk of infection without veterinary care is high.

Some recent highlights of your pets with the team at Albert Animal Hospital. 🐾

A**l glands are normally emptied when your pet defecates. However, in some pets, the a**l glands don’t empty properly and they become impacted. This results in symptoms like licking and scooting from pets. Impacted a**l glands, if left untreated, can become infected and lead to a**l gland abscesses. These abscesses are incredibly painful and often rupture through the skin.

If you suspect your pet has a**l gland issues, visit one of our vets sooner rather than later.

🐶 CONGRATULATIONS TO PROUD PARENTS MAGGIE AND MURPHY 🐶

And a big congratulations to their humans for excellent organisation and preparation. 👏

We are happy to report that this little family are happy, hungry and growing very well.

If you suspect your pet might have ingested a foreign body, which is the term used to describe any non-digestible item, you must take them to the vet immediately. 🚑 Common foreign bodies in pets include string or wool, bones, plastic toys, underwear and socks and inedible food items such as corn cobs, peach pips and mango seeds. The longer a foreign body blocks the gastrointestinal system, the sicker your pet will become and the greater the risk of long-term damage.

Don’t delay if you suspect your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t have.

13/05/2024

Many human medications are toxic for our pets, with paracetamol being no exception. 🐱💊 While occasionally used in dogs under veterinary instruction, paracetamol must never be given to cats as it causes liver failure and can be fatal.

If you suspect your cat has ingested paracetamol (or Panadol), you must take them to the vet immediately. If caught early, vomiting can be induced to bring the medication up and limit the potential damage.

If your pet suffers a wound, it can be hard to know when you should take them to the vet and when they can probably be treated at home. A good rule of thumb is if the wound is deep, actively bleeding, large (even if shallow), looks infected, or is in a delicate area, you should take your pet to the vet for a checkup. And if in doubt, always play it safe and bring your pet to the vet. We can clean and close the wound and administer any medications that might be required. 🩺🐾❤️

🐨 Wild Koala Day 2024 🐨 Wild Koala Day is an annual observance that takes place on May 3rd. It is a day to celebrate wild koalas and raise awareness about the importance of protecting their habitats. Climate change and deforestation are huge threats to koala populations and wellbeing. You can celebrate Wild Koala Day by participating in awareness campaigns and activities; and posting on social media. You can also volunteer with wildlife rescuers and support them. #wildkoaladay #climatechange #stopdeforestation #wildlife

Thank you for caring about our native wildlife. Wildlife are checked over for injuries and illness, then are passed into the care of qualified wildlife carers. Once wildlife have been nursed back to health, they are released back into the wild where they belong.

Sending off our Head Vet Nurse George with lots of love and best wishes as she welcomes a new baby into her life. 💖
