Well here’s something different….a cat who actually ‘gives his paw’ on command, in exchange for food.
Eric was Happy to demonstrate this whilst his owner and Cathy were encouraging him to eat.

Following on from our story about Moli having eaten the bottle teat, we are sharing another example of something that was found where it shouldn’t be.
Pippins, a young Cocker Spaniel, was brought to us earlier this week as was exhibiting discomfort with an ear, and was pretty miserable.
Quickly admitted after our vet Katherine (Kat), suspected something lodged inside the ear canal and having a heavy sedation, a grass seed was identified, and carefully removed.
This video shows the seed actually being retrieved.
Grass seeds are a fairly common source of problems for dogs, and this is one reason we often need to examine dogs who present with sudden onset ear discomfort.

A NEW REVOLUTIONARY TREATMENT FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS!
Following on from our post in May about advances in the treatment of Osteoarthritis, we have a new injectable drug called Solensia.
After 20 years, this is a new approach to treating osteoarthritis, which affects a very high percentage of older cats. It is debilitating, affects mobility, cognitive function and relationships with owners. It is the most common cause of chronic pain in dogs and cats.
A monthly injection, monoclonal antibodies target nerve growth factor in joints which reduces pain and inflammation. The injection is given under the skin at the back of the neck.
Our first patient to receive this treatment is Annie. Unsure of her true age as she was an adult stray, we estimate she must be about 16 years old. Having suffered for a few years with this degenerative disease in her elbows and having a combination of medications to alleviate the discomfort and pain, she had reached the point where she literally hobbled on many days, and could barely weight bear on one of her front legs.
She had her first injection 3 weeks ago. Within 5 days, but still on her liquid anti inflammatory medication, she started to show marked improvement. 11 days later, she was a different cat. Walking on all four legs with little sign of discomfort, and a much happier old lady. She stopped her oral medications, is still walking well but is a much happier cat. She can now stretch out her front legs again, and has started going outside to sit in the sun.
This video is her walking on day 11. Apologies for the quality of the video, but I’m very happy she was moving so fast as this in itself is a huge improvement.
We have so far treated 3-4 other cats with this injection (one belonging to a vet who reports an amazing improvement).
If you have an arthritic cat, and would like to know more about whether it would be an appropriate option, please contact us for more information. More details can be found on the Zoetis website.
