The Mewes Vets

The Mewes Veterinary Clinic We are a small, forward thinking Veterinary practice, priding ourselves in a high standard of patient and client care.

Whilst with us, your pets are cared for as if they were our own. We are here to help your pets live long, healthy and happy lives. As well as offering conventional veterinary medicine, we can also offer veterinary acupuncture with our fully qualified veterinary acupuncturist, if a complementary mode of treatment is requested. We also have a very competitively priced Online Shop. We treat cats, dog, rabbits, reptiles and small furries.

Did you know that rabbits and guinea pigs should not be housed together? Contrary to popular belief, these two small furries should be kept separately. After all - they are two different species.

Whilst rabbits and guinea pigs do have similar care requirements, there are some risks associated with housing these two fluff balls together:

🐰Rabbits and guinea pigs need different diets. Guinea pigs cannot create their own Vitamin C, therefore they require this from their diet.

🐰Rabbits may bully guinea pigs as they are a smaller species than them. It can be difficult for them to communicate with each other, as they have different methods of communication.

🐰Rabbits can carry a bacteria called Bordetella bronchiseptica, which can be transmitted to guinea pigs. This can cause a respiratory infection and can even be fatal to guinea pigs.

Of course, if you already have a rabbit and a guinea pig that are living happily together, it may cause more problems by separating them. However, we recommend keeping these species separate, in the majority of cases.

If you have any questions regarding rabbit or guinea pig care, please contact us to see how we can help.

Keep your pets safe during winter!🌨🐾

Although pets seem protected by their fur, they can suffer from hypothermia and frostbite, just like people. This is even more likely to happen during wet and windy days, even if the temperature doesn’t seem that low, which is why it is essential to provide your pet with a warm, dry and draft-free shelter.

This time of the year, it’s also important to be careful with antifreeze (particularly leaks from car engines) as it is highly toxic to pets and will severely harm kidneys, even if they just ingest a bit.

If your pet is struggling during the winter, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Feline asthma, very much like its human counterpart, can be a difficult disease to manage and can have severe, or even life-threatening, flare-ups.
While this condition is often not possible to cure, you can help your feline friend live many and happy years with
the correct medication and by keeping a close eye on any signs of respiratory distress.

Our golden oldies might start slowing down as the years go by but don’t chalk this up to old age!
Talk to us, and together we can find the best treatment plan to help your pet remain pain-free and mobile for as
long as possible📲

How many cat litter trays do I need?🤔 We often get this question from owners with multicat households, in
particular, when one of their feline friends is experiencing urinary problems or starts house-soiling.
The current recommendations state that you should have one more litter tray than the number of cats in the

house, so you can help reduce stress and avoid any bullying due to competition that might aggravate any pre-
existing issues.

If your cats are having difficulties using the litter tray, don’t hesitate to reach out📲

Is there anything better than having a lovingly crafted, unique portrait or sculpture of your beloved pets?

These mementos are things we will treasure forever, so we think it’s a great idea to commission an artist to do something truly special for your pets.

Do you know any artists that do pet portraits or other types of art for owners? Share their info with us and don’t forget to show us their art!

Despite what many people think, rabbits are not easy pets for children!🐰❌ These adorable furry friends not only live for around ten years, but they also require a lot of attention, the company of other bunnies and a lot of space, as well as regular exercise and proper health care needs that are not suitable for younger children to manage.
Every pet is a serious responsibility and you should make sure you have the time, knowledge and space needed to bring bunnies into your family.

When was the last time your cat had their blood pressure measured?🐱 This simple check is quick and painless, helping us catch hypertension as early as possible.

Hypertension is often silent at first but, as it progresses, it can cause problems to sensitive organs, such as the eyes and the kidneys. This condition can also signal serious underlying problems like hyperthyroidism or chronic kidney disease.

This is why we encourage owners with cats over the age of seven years old to come see us for blood pressure monitoring at least once a year.

Schedule yours now! 🗓

If your cat is struggling to eat, it might be that they have mouth problems! Tooth and gum conditions are extremely common in cats and if they are not treated, they may cause a lot of problems that include painful ulcers, bad breath and drooling.
To help avoid serious issues, our team recommends that you:

✔️Get your cat used to getting their teeth cleaned regularly at home, the earlier the better!
✔️Bring them in to see us every once in a while, for a thorough check-up and a deep clean as needed
✔️Keep a close eye on any problems like red gums, stained or broken teeth, bad breath or excessive drooling

Concerned about your feline friend’s mouth health? Schedule their health check today! 📲

“For this new year, I will…” is what many of us are saying during January, so we would like to suggest some resolutions that include your pets:

🐕I will schedule all of their vital preventative care, such as annual vaccines, regular parasite treatments and vet check-ups.
🐈I will see where I can upgrade their living spaces and provide accommodations for my pets with special needs.
🐇I will commit to spending quality time with them and enjoy our special time together!
