Morning everyone,
We were called out to Lyde Green ( building site near Sainsburys) to attend a badly injured cat. He appears to be a stray.
He is between 4 and 8 years of age, black with white socks. He is not neutered and is a very well developed male cat with large typical jowls.

If he is known to the area or if he has an owner please could they let us know by emailing us on [email protected].

UPDATE (31/07/2024):
🌈 Rest in Peace, "Stray Steve" 🌈

Thank you to everyone who commented on our previous post and offered help. We deeply appreciate your kindness and support.

Yesterday, we anesthetised "Steve" to conduct further diagnostics and assess his injuries. Unfortunately, when Martin Brice, our Oral and Dental Advanced Practitioner, examined him and took additional X-rays, a second jaw fracture was discovered. This fracture was associated with a very poor prognosis, and there was a reasonable chance that he would never be able to eat again.

After much consideration, we made the difficult decision to euthanise him before he woke up. "Steve" passed peacefully, surrounded by care and compassion.

We are saddened that a better outcome was not possible, but we find comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain. Thank you to everyone who helped and supported us through this challenging time.

Rest in Peace, sweet "Steve." You will be missed. 🌹

🚨🦊 A little adventure Mrs Richards could have done without! 😅

She had a close encounter with a fox that ended with her needing two bandages to immobilise her wings. 🩹🪽 She's on NSAIDs and antibiotics due to the bite wound. 💊

But she is healing up and taking it easy for now. ❤️

🐱 Look at this handsome chap named Rocky! 🐱

Rocky came to see us as he was suffering from juvenile gingivitis.

Feline Juvenile Gingivitis is a generalized inflammation of the gums in young cats, often under 1 year old. Breeds like Maine C***s and Siamese are more prone to this condition. Unlike stomatitis, the inflammation in juvenile gingivitis does not spread to the mucosa or caudal oral tissues. Owners might notice a bad smell from the cat's mouth, or it may go completely unnoticed.

In many cases, if we control oral inflammation in the first 2 years of life with regular cleaning and homecare, we can decrease or even prevent recurrence of this condition altogether. However, if left unchecked, it can progress to severe periodontitis. This is why it's so important to check your young cat's mouth and ensure the vet includes a thorough oral examination at the time of first vaccination.

🚨 Remember to keep an eye on your furry friend's oral health! 🐾

🐾🌈 Meet Arnie, a beautiful and friendly panther chameleon! 🦎💚 Arnie came to see us after suffering a suspected UV burn along his back. We don’t often see chameleons here, so everyone was very excited to meet him!

🌞 Access to a UV lamp is a key part of chameleon husbandry. Without UV rays, they cannot absorb calcium, leading to a painful condition called metabolic bone disease. In Arnie’s case, we believe he was basking too close to his lamp, sadly causing the burn.

🙏 Fortunately, Arnie is still well in himself. We sent him home with some cream to help his skin heal. His lovely owner has now lowered his highest perch and reviewed the strength of his UV bulb to prevent this from happening again.

🐾 Thanks for coming to see us, Arnie! We wish you a speedy recovery. 🌟💖

🐾 Our superstar patient Skye paid us a visit last week for some post-orthopedic surgery X-rays, and we couldn't help but shower her with love and cuddles! 💖 Skye underwent her surgery right here at our practice, and we're thrilled to see her progress. From pre-sedation snuggles with Rachael the vet to endless affection from our dedicated staff, Skye was surrounded by care every step of the way. Keep shining and licking windows Skye! 🌟

🐾 Meet Sonny, the adorable furry friend of our nurse Chloe! 😻 He strutted into our clinic earlier this week for his dental procedure, showing off his handsome whiskers and charming personality. Sonny soaked up all the love and cuddles from Chloe and our team of nurses, leaving a trail of purrs and affection in his wake. Just look at him, lounging in his blanket and making biscuits with those precious paws! 🍪❤️

This gorgeous little puppy Elmo came in for a dental procedure last week. He didn’t like waiting in a kennel so we had him on a bed in our procedures room where he could watch the world go by and get lots of fuss from passing staff. Whenever a patient is unhappy in a kennel we try and accommodate their needs as much as we can to make their time away from their owners less stressful. Sometimes they even join our office staff for company for the day! Elmo’s owners also brought along a blanket, toy and his own lunch for the day which helped him feel more at ease. So if your pet needs to spend time away from you feel free to send along with them anything that you think will make them feel more comfortable 💕

Luna is an 7 month old Staffie whom was spayed by us in March. During the anaesthesia, our nurse checked her teeth and noticed that she had 'base narrow (linguoverted) canines'. This means that one or two of her bottom canines are lingually displaced (towards the tongue) from their normal position in the dental arch. The displaced teeth can cause trauma to the hard palate (which is painful!) and may accelerate periodontal disease if impacting into the gingiva of the upper canine. In Luna's case she had both issues and so she visited Martin in our referral dentistry service.
Martin performed a procedure called 'Vital pulpotomy' on the canines. This involves surgical amputation of the crown and coronal pulp to shorten the tooth. The open surface is then treated with MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) to stimulate the pulp lining to lay down reparative dentine. This procedure must be done as sterile as possible to be successful. Follow up radiographs must be taken to monitor maturation and vitality of the treated tooth.
We are looking forward to seeing Luna for her follow ups as all the staff fell in love with her!
