This is Lucky and she will be celebrating her 21st birthday in August. Lucky has always been a reluctant patient at the practice but we believe it is her feistiness that has led to her great age. A few weeks ago she developed a problem with one of her toes. It had become sore around the nail bed. We had to rely on photos from her owner as we could not get anywhere near Lucky without receiving a hefty swipe. After some hands off treatment it was clear that Lucky's paw was getting worse so we decided to investigate further. Following some sedation we were able to see that her toe looked pretty nasty. We were suspicious of a tumour in the nail bed. The options were operate and remove the toe or sadly put her to sleep. We decided even though Lucky was 20 years old she was well enough to go through the surgery. Her owners agreed and the surgery went ahead. She took a while to recover from the operation but is now eating well and running up the stairs. The toe was indeed cancerous so it was fortunate we removed it so quickly. Lucky may not feel the same way about us but we think she is a great character and are so happy she is now back to her spicy old self.

Happy Birthday Rusty. Fourteen years young 😍

Look at these for an amazing set of eyebrows. This is Stella who came in to see us this morning 🤩

Thanks so much for your help in sharing the previous post about the injured cat. Thanks to the brilliant response on Facebook his owner has now been found. Thankfully, he is now recovering well and will be going home soon 🤩

Please help us to locate the owner of a cat brought in to our Guildford practice this afternoon. He is a black and white adult male cat. Mostly white with some black patches. He was sadly involved in a road traffic accident and is currently very poorly receiving emergency treatment at the practice. He was found on Worplesdon Road. He is chipped but it is not registered on any data base. Please share so we can trace his owner. Thank you.

We love seeing the inventive ways owners manage to stop their pets from interfering with a wound after surgery. Take Hattie the chicken for example. She was attacked by a fox and needed surgery to close the wound. She decided to take out a few sutures so her owner came up with a burger box lid as a buster collar and the top of of a pair of tights to cover the wound. This seems to be having the desired effect and Hattie doesn't seem too bothered by it either. Genius.

This is Ken the Cockerel. He came in this morning with a large lump on the top of his neck, about the size of an apricot. Ken is only a small bantam so this lump was proving quite a heavy load to carry. His girlfriends had taken a bit of a dislike to it too and had pecked it until it was red raw. He came in to see Helen the vet. Helen decided we should have a go at removing this although there was a big concern it was so large we would not be able to close the wound afterwards. Fortunately for Ken chickens have extraordinarily stretchy skin so we were able to pull the skin from the back of his neck to cover the defect. He ended up making a brilliant recovery from his anaesthetic and was soon tucking in to his pellets. This was a most rewarding case as the lump almost looked inoperable but with a bit of perseverence it came away and closed up a treat.

Very sadly we have had a cat brought in who had been involved in a road traffic accident and had died. He was found on Broad Street near Wood Street Village. He is a large, entire male with black and white fur. Please share as we would like to locate his owner.

Kenny Update: Quick recap. Kenny was signed over to the practice at 4 weeks old. He had suffered a nasty injury to his leg and it needed to be amputated. He suffered a cardiac arrest on the operating table and was successfully resuscitated. Our vet Helen took him home for recuperation and bottle feeding. The plan was to rehome him at 8 weeks old. This never happened and Helen kept the little hooligan.

Today is his first birthday 🎂 He has grown into the most beautiful boy. His missing leg is no problem and he has the biggest, boldest character. He has been on school visits and travelled to Wales on several occasions. He is still a frequent visitor to the practice when Helen is working as he can't be trusted not to get into lots of trouble when left home alone. This has meant he has met so many of our clients who are always keen for a Kenny cuddle. He is still a lunatic and Helen is seriously considering whether a Christmas tree is really worth it this year.

Happy Birthday Kenny. Thanks for a fun year 😍

This is Inky. A much loved, 17 year old three legged cat. He developed an issue with his right eye that initially just looked like an infection. It was treated and resolved. A few weeks later the same problem reared it's head again and Inky had a sore eye. Over a few days it quickly deteriorated and the eye then appeared to be protruding. He was a very unhappy boy. We referred Inky urgently to Optivet for a CT scan as we were concerned he may have a tumour behind his eye which was causing the problem. He was seen that day and the CT scan confirmed this was in fact an abscess. Hooray! This was lanced and flushed and he was put onto antibiotics. Three weeks on and he is looking amazing. The eye is completely back to normal and in himself he is better than ever. This was a wonderful outcome for a wonderful cat. Well done Inky 🤩

It's nearly Halloween 🎃. For a bit of fun we would love to see some pics of your pets in their spooky outfits. Here are some of the team's pets to get the ball rolling.

We are very pleased to announce that Kate Simpson is our new permanent vet at the Ewhurst practice.

Here is a little bit about our lovely new vet.

Kate graduated from Bristol Vet School in 2001 after growing up on a small farm in Kent, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, sheep, chickens and bees! After a period in mixed practice in Cornwall and an internship at the Royal Veterinary College, Kate met her now husband, moved to Surrey and has been here ever since!

Kate has worked locally in small animal practice and completed further training in cardiology and ultrasound. She enjoys all aspects of being a small animal vet and finds it particularly rewarding to build relationships with animals and their owners.

When not at work she is often found walking her three Labradors in the Surrey Hills or playing taxi driver for her two teenagers!
