If your cat has been diagnosed with arthritis, you can help them out at home by making some easy changes to their environment. 🐱 Adding ramps so they can reach their favourite sleeping spots a bit easier is just one thing you can do. 💤

‼️Calling all cats over 7 years old! Whilst arthritis can affect cats of all ages, older cats are more at risk of suffering from arthritis. 🐈
If your cat has been less active lately, looking a bit stiff or struggles to go up-and-down the stairs, it could be arthritis! 🐈⬛

🩺Did you know we recommend that all cats aged 7 years and older have a yearly blood pressure measurement? 🩸
🐱High blood pressure can be a hidden problem, but can be linked to kidney and thyroid disease in older cats.
📲Please book in with one of our nurses if you'd like to have your cat's blood pressure checked.
⚠️Just to remind you the surgery is closed this Monday due to the Bank Holiday. Our MiNightVet colleagues in Falmouth and Newquay will be available should you need advice or to be seen whilst we are closed, just call the usual number 01209 713100 and you will be directed from there 📞

New for Fridays, guess what’s under the microscope? 🔬
What do you think it is!? 🤔
Post your thoughts below and we’ll give you the answer on Monday 👇🏼
The answer is……. Otodectes Cynotis! Was your guess correct?
Otodectes cynotis is also known as an ear mite, they are barely visible to the naked eye and may be seen as a white speck moving against a dark background.
Males have 8 legs (4 arms, 4 legs), compared to females who only have 6 legs (4 arms, 2 legs).
🙌 🙃 Don’t worry, be hoppy, it’s nearly the weekend!!🙃 🙌

So Charlie’s boredom breaker of the week is.... his Kong!! 🐶🥳
Kong toys help satisfy natural chewing instincts and can be used for teething relief in puppies, right up to your extreme chewers!! 🦷
Kongs are mentally stimulating and not only used for filling with food or treats but can be used for fetch too, with its crazy bounce! 🎾
Make sure you select the correct size and chewing ability and never leave them alone with toys / treats✋
As we are limited to one walk a day, you must ensure your pooches are still within their daily food allowance and we are not overfeeding 🍔
You can freeze Kongs to ensure they last longer and this provides longer problem solving and enrichment. (Freezing also helps puppies through their teething stage)🥶
Remember ALWAYS use dog friendly ingredients, NEVER use human grade peanut butter / chocolate - these contain xylitol and palm oil which are toxic to our fur babies!! ✋
⭐️ What recipes or ideas can you share for Kong recipes? ⭐️ ⬇️📝
