It is almost that time of year☃..... So Please note our Christmas opening hours! We will be here for you and your pets as much as we can.

We recommend downloading Vidivet NOW so that you have it if you need veterinary advice when we are closed - better to have it ready than have to worry if you need it urgently. Visit our website to download (free for all our clients!) - www.heritagevets.co.uk/emergency

If you will need medications for your pet over Christmas and New Year please let us know with plenty of notice so we can ensure you don't run out ☃

On World Diabetes Day the lovely Magnus would like to tell you all how well he is doing 6 months after starting an amazing new treatment for his diabetes!

He started an oral liquid medication which reduced blood sugar levels, having been diagnosed after developing an increased thirst and severe weight loss. The liquid means that cats can have their diabetes managed without twice daily injections, which really is an amazing revolution in the treatment of feline diabetes!
Here he is enjoying some dreamies after his blood test (and demonstrating his lovely normal blood sugar level of 7.6).

We have a number of dog and cat patients on treatment for diabetes, and each case requires their own specific management plan.

If you notice any changes in your pet such as being more thirsty, losing weight, or an increased appetite these can be early warning signs so do get in touch

Educational Mondays: Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Cats

We have previously posted about BOAS in Dogs, with the most severely affected being Bulldogs, Pugs and French Bulldogs. But we often overlook other species that can be affected by breathing issues due to extreme conformations.

Angel the Persian cat has had trouble breathing for many years, and she came to see us for help. We performed a surgery to open up her nostrils - cats are a little different to dogs as we remove tissue from the side of the nostrils but also underneath the nose in cats to give them more space for airflow.

A couple of weeks on Angel is recovering nicely and breathing much more comfortably.

Certain breeds of rabbit can also suffer breathing issues due to their conformation - images here show examples of just how extreme these changes can be across the species!

Our keyhole spays on Friday were little and large to the extreme! 52kg Harley and 3kg Kacee both had their spays performed with our laparoscopic equipment, ensuring minimal pain and complications and a speedy recovery 😍

Both were very well behaved and a pleasure to have in the practice! 🩺❤️

WORLD RADIOGRAPHY DAY - ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS

🔍 Ever wondered how vets can see what's happening inside our pets when they can't tell us where it hurts?

X-rays can help detect anything from broken bones and swallowed squeakers to heart issues and even hidden cancers and diseases.

Modern digital radiographs mean faster results, clearer images, and better care for our beloved pets.

Would you be able to spot the abnormalities in an X-ray? Challenge yourself with the following images! 🐕🐈
