🩸 Ouch! Greyhound Tail Trouble 🐾
Did you know greyhounds are prone to tail injuries? Their long, whippy tails can easily get banged against walls or furniture ,often leading to bleeding and wounds that are hard to heal.

Dolly gave us a scare after a tail bash led to some serious bleeding. We cleaned and dressed the wound, and with a little rest (and a lot of love), they’ll be wagging again soon! 💕

Great work Dr Lauren.👏

Did you know that colder weather can affect your dog’s tail? 🐾

“Limber tail” (a.k.a. acute caudal myopathy) is a condition where dogs develop sudden pain around the base of their tail, leading to several days of discomfort and abnormal tail positioning.

This issue most commonly occurs in active large breed dogs, particularly those who have been swimming or playing vigorously outdoors in cold weather within the previous 24 hours.

Should you notice any discomfort in your pet during chilly weather, we’d advise hot-footing it to our clinic for a prompt veterinary assessment! ❄️

Did you know dogs can develop cognitive decline similar to dementia in humans? 🧠 Signs include disorientation, changed sleep patterns, forgetting training, or altered interactions with family.

Supporting brain health involves mental stimulation, medication and consistent routines. Special diets containing antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids can also benefit brain function.

If you notice cognitive changes in your senior dog, talk to us about management options. 🐶

As dogs age, their nutritional needs change. 🍽️

Senior dogs typically need fewer calories but higher quality protein to maintain muscle mass. They may benefit from added joint supplements like glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids. 🐾 Dogs with specific health conditions like kidney disease, heart disease or diabetes often require specific diets.

Not sure what to feed your senior dog? Our team can provide tailored dietary recommendations based on their specific health needs. 🥩

Finding unexpected puddles from your previously house-trained senior dog? 🚽 This isn't naughtiness - it could signal health issues like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or cognitive decline.

Some medications can also increase urination or decrease bladder control. Physical issues like arthritis might make it difficult for them to get outside in time.

If your older dog starts having accidents, book a check-up so we can identify and address the underlying cause.

Hugo is a 9 year old whippet and we have been helping to manage his Pulmonic Stenosis for over 2 years -Pulmonic Stenosis is a congenital heart defect where the pulmonic valve doesn't open fully, causing blood flow to be obstructed❤️‍🩹

Hugo's owner elected to have a 🎈 Balloon Valvuloplasty. A catheter with a balloon on the tip is inserted into the heart. The balloon is positioned over the narrowed valve and inflated, which widens the valve and improves blood flow. This surgery has been a huge success with Hugo moving from a SEVERE heart condition to a MILD rating. Hugo's owner has seen some happy changes in Hugo's behaviour and overall health, he is a lot more sparky and is now very keen on "walkies".❤

Just like humans, pets benefit from staying active as they age! Gentle, regular exercise helps maintain muscle mass, joint mobility and mental wellbeing. 🐕

For older dogs, shorter but more frequent walks are ideal. For cats, interactive toys encourage movement without overexertion. Swimming is excellent for arthritic pets as it's low-impact on joints. Always tailor exercise to your pet's ability and stop if they show signs of discomfort or fatigue.

🎾 What’s your pet’s favourite way to stay active? Let us know in the comments!

Occasional hairballs are normal for cats, but frequent vomiting in older cats needs attention. 🐈

If your senior cat is vomiting more than once a week, losing weight, or showing changes in appetite, make an appointment today! 🩺

Finding a lump on your senior cat can be worrying. 🐱 Common lumps include lipomas (fatty tumours), sebaceous cysts, and unfortunately, cancer.

While many are benign, some require prompt treatment. Never assume a lump is harmless based on appearance alone! 🔍 Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of cancerous lumps.

If you notice any new lumps, bumps or swellings on your cat, book an appointment now with our vets to get it checked out. 📞
