Carers of indoor cats - can you help us understand more about environmental enrichment and its impact on stress reduction in cats? A new study with the University of Edinburgh has just been launched and we're looking for participants.

We're looking for households with 1 or 2 indoor only cats. Households where the cats have access to a catio or enclosure can participate. Eligible cats are aged between 6 months and 13 years.

To access the short screening survey please either scan the QR code in the poster below using the camera app on your phone, or visit this url: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/edinburgh/utilising-the-home-feline-stress-score-to-compare-the-impact-of

Norman , who broke his leg at the end of October. & got it repaired by Heather was in for neutering today. We couldn’t resist a follow up X-ray & these are in the comments. Can you tell which leg it was ? It was the left & now it looks identical to the uninjured leg with no growth plate problems.

Happy New Year!

Avoiding weight gain can be one of the best things you can do to help a dog or any species with arthritis.

Avoiding weight gain can be one of the best things you can do to help a dog or any species with arthritis.

Obese patients have more pain than normal weight patients
(Elma et al., 2022).

Elma, Ö., Brain, K., & D**g, H. J. (2022). The Importance of Nutrition as a Lifestyle Factor in Chronic Pain Management: A Narrative Review. Journal of clinical medicine, 11(19), 5950. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm11195950

Large clinical cohort studies identified that obese patients had, in general, a worse pain profile than the normal weight patients, for example, a higher pain intensity, an increased pain interference, and more constant pain.

The term 'malnutrition' conjures up motivating images of emaciation and poor welfare. But malnutrition also includes overweight and obesity, where there is less attention to action. Strange!

Here’s an X-ray of a kitten who got into a bit of a scrape like young animals often do & got a fracture right at the top of his tibia (shin bone). X-rays of young animals are often confusing to look at due to the presence of growth plates at the ends of the long bones which can look like fractures. Young animals heal quickly but this was reduced by Heather with a couple of pins as we wanted a straight leg. If it healed squew it could affect his stifle (knee) joint but the pins had to avoid the growth plates. It’s all healed now & he’s fine. There’s a video of him post op to follow.

Hungry Hoglet!

Annie with her bell - as she has a tendency to go down holes……!

Alfie saying Thankyou after his thyroidectomy 6 weeks ago! He’s put on some weight & is generally better. Hyperthyroidism is moderately common in older cats & treatment can make a big difference to their quality of life.

We had this little guy in today after been found grounded & looking pretty moribund in a garden in Bilton. He or she had no externally obvious injuries & picked up dramatically after being fed a critical care solution, which was given regularly during the day. So tonight I went out just after sunset to release him in the garden where he was found. Reluctant to leave at first, he did fly off, did a few circuits of the garden before disappearing over the hedgetops. Should you ever have to handle a bat please make sure that YOU WEAR GLOVES. Some bats, (mainly Daubentons) can carry a lyssavirus which causes rabies so a bite could have very serious consequences. This guy will be a pipistrelle, the commonest bat found in gardens.

This hungry uninjured owlet has gone off to rescue after a check over & a snack. Please be aware that baby Tawny Owls are often left by their parents at the base of trees after they have left the nest & these are best left for their parents to look after. The best person to raise an owl chick is a parent owl.

A fleeting glimpse of the owl as it was released this morning - definitely not hanging around to say thanks! Clipped by a car yesterday, no obvious injuries just bruised & confused I think an evening in the warmth & decent meal were a good help for survival.

Little Gino is starting to get his meow back. He had a very nasty dose of cat flu where his mouth got so sore & ulcerated eating was an issue so he had an oesophagostomy tube fitted so that we could feed him & give him fluids whilst his mouth was sore. He was with us for quite a while but it looks like he’s now on the mend!
