Bladder Stones can be sneaky!🤫

Lovely little Dotty came into us a few months ago with urine problems. we gave her antibiotics and steroids and hoped it would pass and it wasn't something serious.

She came back into us a couple days later and Dotty's owner had told us that she was no better and that there was still blood in her urine. from that consult forward we decided to perform an ultrasound/Xray and we later found this little guy stuck in Dotty's bladder! (seen in slide 3)

Peter successfully removed the bladder stone and Dotty is now fully recovered🥰

Toby and his aural Haematoma (and his massive cone)👂🏼

The wonderful Toby first came into us in August last year with a swelling on his ear!

After it had been drained several times since then, we decided to perform surgery in May for an aural haematoma procedure.

Toby had gone through a successful surgery which was performed by Vet Chris Gray.
He had been back into us for a few post op checks to see how his ear is doing and to see if we can remove the stitches.

Finally, after many visits, Toby's stitches were removed in mid June and his ear has healed beautifully! ❤️

(we also want to mention how amazing he looks in his huge cone! he wasn't bothered by it at all)

🎉Happy Friday News!🎉 Awesome review incoming…

We had the lovely Betty come in for her vaccination prior to moving home. All seemed well but the wonderful Rob spotted something a little strange…

Fast forward to today, Betty has since had an operation to remove her spleen which Rob had spotted at the vaccination appointment and is doing well! Luckily, Betty was well enough to have the surgery and is healing up nicely. Plus, she’s got the all clear that the tumour is benign! 🥳

This is a perfect example of how important annual checks are. If Betty, hadn’t come in for her routine vaccination, the ending of this story could have been very different..

Betty’s lovely owner left a wonderful review which you can read in the post. We are so glad that Betty is doing well and loving life in her new home! 🐾

⚠️warning surgery and medical equipment⚠️

A couple weeks ago, the gorgeous Skywalker came into us with an unfortunate dislocation to his left elbow.

Peter, one of our brilliant vets, tried multiple times to put Skywalker's elbow back into place but, after many attempts it still wouldn't go back in.

Skywalker's owners made the difficult decision to have his leg amputated. Cats are amazing and cope very well with three legs.

Once Skywalker was stable under anesthetic, our nursing team prepped his leg for surgery. Skywalker's leg was shaved and then scrubbed to make his leg as sterile as possible before surgery, we have to make sure the wound site is very clean so no infection is introduced into the surgical wound. Then a Local aneasthetic was injected into the leg to help with pain control, you can see rob administering here. Skywalker is finally ready for surgery to commence, you can see Peter beginning the surgery in the 5th slide.

After only a week with three legs, Skywalker is doing great and walking with no hesitation! We are so impressed with how he is recovering and I’m sure you will all agree he still looks as handsome as ever! 🥰🐈

Freddy and Mercury🐱

Freddy and Mercury were bought into the practice 8 weeks ago at roughly 1 day old.

They were both very weak and stone cold and so tiny Freddy was 104g and mercury was 91g.
Sheryl our head nurse couldn’t resist looking after these two kittens so she decided to hand rear them.
They were instantly warmed up, had some fluids put under their skin and started feeding with a special kitten formula.

These kittens have gone everywhere with Sheryl, as For the first 2 weeks Freddy and Mercury were fed every 2 hours even at night! They were so tiny and not able to feed very well so they had to be fed with a syringe at first until they were strong enough to suckle from a bottle.

Many of you may have seen them snuggled up with one of the reception team to keep them warm when they were tiny and then as they got bigger the cuddles were mainly for the receptionists benefit!

At 4 weeks old the weaning process started and everyone ended up covered in cat food not just Freddy and Mercury but it was amazing to see how far they had come and seeing them eating by themselves.

Now they are 8 weeks old and had their first vaccines (seen in the last post) and they have gone from strength to strength and they are both now very strong healthy naughty kittens.

Sheryl is a failed foster and Freddy and Mercury will be permanently staying with Sheryl and her family along with their dog Bandit seen in some of the photos! Who can blame her, how could you give these two up.🥰
