🩵 Meet Earl 🩵

Earl came in this week to be castrated. This was performed under anaesthetic and is an important part of cat ownership to help prevent spread of diseases and unwanted kittens.

Earl took it all in his stride and was up and about and loving his yummy food not long after his procedure. He was a particular fan of our cat castle and loved our catnip dreamers too !

Goose claimed her free dental health check, has your cat ? 🦷 🐈‍⬛

🐈‍⬛ Goose came in for her post dental check this week.
Despite being only three she needed several out last week due to root exposure. Goose was given the all clear from these areas as they have healed well.
Goose still needs one more tooth out which is one of her big lower canines which we will be doing in a few weeks time.

Sometimes we need to do staged dentals when the jaw is so fragile to be able to have too many teeth removed at one time especially if the X-rays show severe inflammation such as in the case of Goose.

Dr Sophie Jenkins went through the pre and post dental X-rays with Goose’s owner so they are fully informed of why the teeth were removed and why the canine needs to be removed in a few weeks.

Goose has been extremely comfortable since her dental. She has been eating better than she has in a long time and has been very content again. She loved the catnip dreamies in the consult and made herself quite comfortable on the chair grooming herself whilst Dr Sophie and her owner were talking and viewing the X-rays.

Goose’s owners took advantage of our *FREE* dental health checks that we are running. They were very pleased they made the choice to come in and take us up on this offer as they didn’t realise how tender Goose gums really were.

Book your cats free dental check today via our online booking on www.originvetsclinic.co.uk or call us Monday to Friday 02922362166 to register and book your complimentary dental health check.
The great news is we are taking on cat clients and we have a lovely quiet clinic for just cats rabbits and exotics with free ample onsite parking just off Newport Road Cardiff !

Kitty 🐈‍⬛ was in for her Spay today.
She was under the special watch of our feline lead nurse Claire Lewis RVN.

Here you can see Claire monitoring Kitty’sanaesthetic with :

🩺 An oesophageal stethoscope, listening for any changes in both rate and rhythm of her heart beat and also her breathing rate and sounds
A normal stethoscope is also used to monitor her lung sounds over the lung field.
A capnograph attached to her endotracheal tube to look for changes in her carbon dioxide levels that can indicate subtle changes in her breathing
An electrocardiogram to monitor changes in her electrical activity of her heart that can indicate abnormalities
🩸A pulse oximeter to assess her oxygenation levels
🌡️A thermometer to make she Kitty stays nice and warm without over heating

💉It’s so important to monitor patients closely and to tailor anaesthetics to every patient. Our team are very geared to making any changes needed and keep up to date with the best options for anaesthesia and medications that can be given.

We are pleased to say Kitty made a full recovery and went home with pain relief on board for the next few days too.
Kitty was also microchipped under our kitten package and received her next flea and worming treatment too.

How sweet is Frodo !

Frodo was born in foster care earlier this year with very experienced fosters who normally rehome the fosters that they care for (under local charities). However Frodo captured their heart and so he has remained with them in his forever home. ❤️ 🐾

Frodo has been seeing us at Origin Vets Clinic this week with a a tender throat. He has shown improvement and fingers crossed he continues to improve over the weekend. If not we already have a plan in place for imaging next week. Until then he certainly enjoyed the catnip dreamies during his consult!

Send some positive vibes for Frodo over the weekend !

This is beautiful “Cat” who came in for her dental this week.

Her owner took advantage of our free dental checks and it was noted that Cat had quite a bit of tartar on her teeth 🦷 that required removal.

This video shows how well a calm environment with a little bit a cat music 🎶 helps our feline friends to recover quickly and start eating too. Cat even let our fantastic feline nurse Claire remove her intravenous cannula without any one needing to hold her at all !

Cat music 🎶 has been proven to help calm cats. It is music that is 60beats per minute and is combined calm classic music with a very low gentle drone of white or green noise to help cats relax ☺️

If you would like to book your cat in for a free dental check then please contact 02922362166 or visit www.originvetsclinic.co.uk to book an appointment

October is Pet Wellness Month!
Today we are discussing dental health.
Did you know that more than 70% of cats over the age of 3 suffer from some level of dental disease?
The most common issues we see are:

🐱Gingivitis – this is caused by plaque bacteria which colonise the space between the teeth and the gum, causing inflammation. It is generally reversible with treatment
🐱Periodontitis – if left untreated, gingivitis can develop into this more serious condition which can cause irreversible damage.
🐱Tooth Resorption - a condition where the body starts to break down and absorb the structures of a tooth. This can expose the nerves in the tooth and become very painful. It also increases the risk of teeth fractures.

If you are worried about your cat's teeth, book in for a FREE dental check! We will grade your cat's teeth and look for any other issues as well. If your cat requires any treatment, we will offer fair and transparent prices, which can be seen on our website: https://www.originvetsclinic.co.uk/price-list-and-services

Our prices include dental x-rays, which are very important to perform dentals, but unfortunately not all vet practices have them.

October is Pet Wellness Month!

To celebrate this, we are offering a special deal for wellness screens in cats!
Wellness screens are designed for healthy cats, to try to detect any diseases early.

Older cats (over 7 years old) in particular benefit from these screens.

DID YOU KNOW?
🐱 1 in 5 cats over the age of 9 can have high blood pressure?
🐱 40% of cats over 10, and 81% of cats over 15 have kidney disease?
🐱 10% of cats over 10 have hyperthyroidism?

All three of these diseases can have very vague or mild symptoms at the beginning of their development, and all benefit from early detection and treatment.

If you would like to book your cat in for a wellness screen, contact us today on 02922 362166, or book in on PetsApp! https://lnk.pet/originvetsclinic

October is Pet Wellness Month!

Today we are discussing vaccines. Vaccines are a key way to prevent potentially fatal diseases from affecting your cat.

Vaccines can be started from 8 weeks old. The primary course involves two vaccines, 3-4 weeks apart. After that, vaccines are recommended yearly. Not every part of the vaccine needs to be given every year, and here at Origin Vets Clinic, we follow the WSAVA guidelines to avoid over vaccinating.

If you would like to book your cat in, contact us today on 02922 362166, or book in on PetsApp! https://lnk.pet/originvetsclinic

October is Pet Wellness Month!

Today we will discuss Diet and Weight - a very important part of our cat's wellness and health. Just like humans, diet plays a key part in staying healthy, so it's an imporant to make sure your cat is on a good quality diet.

It's been found that between 30-50% of cats in the UK are overweight, so it's important to keep an eye on your cat from a young age! Food puzzles can help reduce obesity. It's also important to feed your cat multiple times a day, as in the wild they would eat multiple small meals throughout the day.

Meet these two adorable kittens Jinx and Bruce.

They have been seeing Dr Fenella Johnson recently for treat of some nasty parasites. They were little stars and took their daily medication really well !

They have now completed their treatment and their vaccination course and will soon be ready for neutering.

They were a little timid on their first visit several weeks ago but with gentle handling by our team they have grown a lot of confidence ! Just look at Bruce enjoying a good head rub after his vaccination !

Does your kitten need vaccinations ? Book in to see our cat team by calling 02922362166

Our kitten package is usually £110 which includes both vaccinations, microchipping, 4weeks insurance and the first month flea and worming treatment too ! But if you mention our social media code CAT24 you can save £10 and a further £5 off neutering!
Wow all that for just £100! (Valid until the end of 2024!)
Located just behind Matalan on Newport Road

Our whole team will always give their all for all our patients including this tiny 4 day old (estimated) kitten that was found as a stray. Our wonderful team have checked her over and hydrated her and she is now being cared for around the clock by our very experienced RVN Claire Lewis. Claire has hand reared many kittens and two of her own cats were fosters that she hand reared from tiny too. #whatrvnsdo #cat #catvet #kitten
