Sammy, is a beautiful spur-thighed tortoise🐢 She is very elderly and has been owned by her family for over 50 years, which means she may be over 75 years old!🤯

Sammy came to us because she had an abscess affecting one of her ears. Tortoises do not have an external ear like mammals do. Instead, they have flat tympanic membranes that are visible on the sides of their heads. In Sammy's case, there was a swelling beneath the left-hand side caused by a build-up of pus. In reptiles this pus is very hard, almost like cheese in texture!🩺

Vet Sally-Ann, had to put Sammy under a general anaesthetic to cut over the affected area and remove all this horrible content... Tortoises are not always straight-forward to anaesthetise, but Sammy recovered extremely well from her surgery and was back to normal and eating well a week after her procedure. 👏🏻👩🏼‍⚕️

Introducing the lovely Otis!🐶

Otis is a generally fit and healthy lad who always enjoys a visit to the practice. However, recently he developed a lump on his ear, which our Vet Zak biopsied. Unfortunately it was a nasty cancer called a fibrosarcoma, which tends to spread throughout the tissues quite quickly. Unfortunately, we decided that the only way to save Otis from a life-threatening cancer was to perform an extensive removal of the ear and surrounding tissue🩺

The owners were very dedicated, but understandably worried about how Otis would look after the surgery. In the end, we all agreed that surgery was the best option and Zak went ahead and performed the operation. We are pleased to say that surgery was a complete success, and Otis’s Mum and dad were keen to share with everybody how he now looks. I’m sure you all agree that he remains a very handsome boy, even with one ear✨ It is very normal for owners to be anxious about the cosmetic appearance of a pet after an ear removal, but hopefully these photos show that once healed, it is usually not as bad as you might think💚

Otis is now fully cured, very fit and happy, and still enjoys coming in to see us all!👨🏻‍⚕️👏🏻

WALTER THE WHIPPET.. came in to see us as his owner noticed he had a very sore eye👁️ 🐶 After a diagnostic work up, Vet Rebekah admitted Walter to our hospital ward to find out and remove what was causing him so much discomfort.

Just as assumed he had a small foreign body stuck in his eye!🤯 Vet Rebekah, safely removed the thorn from Walter’s eye and he is now feeling much more comfortable💚

A great success all round!👏🏻

Vaccinate your rabbits🐰

Rabbit vaccinations are available to protect your rabbits from the highly infectious diseases Myxomatosis, RVHD and RVHD2🩺

Your rabbits can be vaccinated from 5 weeks old and will need a booster every 12 months. We offer their annual vaccination and a full health check with one of our Vets for just £53🐰

Indoor rabbits are also at risk from these diseases as not only can they become infected when coming into contact with an infected rabbit, but it can also be spread by biting insects, hay that may have been in contact with infected wild rabbits and humans can also carry the virus on their clothes/shoes.

In many cases, all 3 diseases are fatal as there are no specific treatments available, so vaccinating your rabbits is essential🩺

Give us a call on 01493 809766 to get booked in now📞

CAT MICROCHIP: DROP IN CLINIC🐱

We are doing a drop in clinic for your cat’s microchipping!🩺

🐾Wednesday 22nd May9-5pm (Rollesby)
🐾 Every Wednesday throughout May (Casiter Vets)

Come on down and see our cat friendly nurses Karen & Kelsey - no appointment needed!

In case you missed it: The government have announced that on the 10th June 2024 it will become against the law for your cat(s) to not be microchipped, and you could face a fine up to £500 if this isn’t done or if your details are not kept up to date on the microchip. Kittens must be microchipped by 5Months old once this legislation is passed🐈

Microchipping your cat(s) gives us the best chance of reuniting you and your furry friend if they were to go missing!🐱
