In just 5 days Gemma will be running the Great North Run 2024πŸ₯΅raising funds for the Blue Cross UK with her good friends Emma and Sam. The Blue Cross are an amazing charity that do so much good to help change the lives of thousands of sick, injured and homeless pets πŸ’™

The Blue Cross holds a special place in Gemma's heart πŸ–€ as her little black sass pot Evie found her way to Gemma via the Blue Cross when she worked closely with the charity in County Durham. She has also spent time in their London Victoria hospital during her vet training. They are such an amazing charity doing so much good.

A few people have kindly asked for the sponsorship link so it is linked below if you feel you would like to donate any pennies to them, it really means a lot, thank you so much πŸ’™

Meet Solomon aka Solly, our Superstar Brave Pet of the Month! πŸ₯³πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚️

Solly is one of our beautiful FIV positive house cats that we see on a fairly regular basis, and a few months ago, he wasn't quite right. He wasn't eating as well as usual and had lost some weight, he was given some anti inflammatories in case it was a flare up of his mouth sores but unfortunately he didn't improve as he usually does. He was transferred to our amazing partner 24hour hospital, Holly House Vets , and was hospitalised and treated for ketoacidosis after a diagnosis of diabetes πŸͺ

Diabetes usually presents as drinking loads (and we mean loads!), urinating lots too and often with weight loss, sometimes a poor coat but otherwise well. Sometimes however, diabetes can present as being very very poorly due to something called ketones developing in the body. This is due to prolonged high blood sugar/glucose and the body not being able to produce or use the insulin correctly to deal with it. The body makes these ketones from fat stores to use as energy but unregulated by the normal insulin/glucose process, the levels increase and the body's acid base balance shifts leading to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a medical emergency and if untreated will be fatal! Treatment requires intensive hospitalisation with experienced vets to correct the ketones and acid/ base shift. This involves fluids, intravenous glucose and soluble insulin with 24hr monitoring and treatment of any of the other effects that may have occurred due to the condition. Holly House were amazing! πŸ₯°

Solly was in the hospital for 6 days and was an absolutely puurrfect patient for his treatment with the vets, nurses, and VCA's. He made a great recovery from the DKA and had a freestyle libre fitted to come home for Gemma at Robin's Nest to take over his care again and get his diabetes stable with twice daily insulin injectionsπŸ’‰

Over the last couple of months he has had regular checks, his blood glucose checked at home and full blood samples taken to send to the lab to check his organ function and fructosamine (a diabetes marker)🩸Some diabetic cats can go into remission with good control of their blood glucose and Solly is showing signs this may be happening with all his owners' hard work and dedication to his care....watch this space! We will be fitting another freestyle libre at home to monitor his glucose 24/7 soon to see if he has gone into remission 🀞 The freestyle libre is used for human diabetics in combination with a phone app to monitor glucose and is gold standard for cat diabetes management. Solly is going from strength to strength and has started to gain some weight and play again (and has some fab laboratory numbers too!)

Solly has been so brave for both his hospital stay and all of his checks and tests at home with Gemma so we had to award this magnificent moggie our first Brave pet of the Month award. Well done Solly! We hope you like your catnip fishy more than you liked the rosette!! 🏡🎣πŸ₯³
