This is our amazing head nurse Katie and her two FIV positive cats Colin and Harry! Both of which were unclaimed adult strays brought into work several years ago, they quickly found a place in her heart and home!❤️🏠

🐈But what is FIV?

FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and is a viral infection that affects cats, causing them to have a weekend immune system.

🐈What are the symptoms?

There are no specific symptoms of FIV but positive cats are more prone to a variety of common feline diseases including skin problems, mouth inflammation, chronic respiratory infections and certain types of tumours. However, each case is different and research shows that FIV positive cats can have a similar life expectancy to uninfected cats.

🐈How do we test for FIV?

FIV can be diagnosed by taking a blood sample from your cat and running a specific blood test.

🐈We asked Katie what it's like to have FIV positive cats?

Their care is much like the care of any other cat. However, they do have to be house cats, firstly to prevent them infecting other cats with FIV and secondly to help keep them healthy, a mild case of cat flu to one cat could be bad news for these guys as they would struggle to fight off the virus and could become very ill!

Colin struggles with gingivitis (mouth inflammation) but we manage this by keeping a close eye on his teeth and having a dental scale and polish when needed to keep his teeth healthy. Harry on the other hand, doesn't suffer with his teeth at all but is prone to having skin flare ups which is easily managed through diet and the occasional short course of medication and/or skin wipes/foams.

Katie works at both our Llanelli and Gowerton branches, if you have any questions about FIV please feel free to reach out to her!

🦆🦆🦆Wildlife Wednesday 🦆🦆🦆

A very unusual visitor at Gibson & Jones Vets last week! A kind member of the public noticed this little one sitting near a busy road in the middle of Swansea and brought her into us.

This beautiful bird is a Smew! The Smew is a compact diving duck with a delicate bill. It's a winter visitor in small numbers from Scandinavia and Russia. Sometimes the birds move here from Holland and Denmark to escape freezing weather.

After a good check over by our clinical team and some TLC, she was safely transported to the local bird sanctuary where she will be cared for until she is strong enough to return to the wild.

Good luck little duck! 🦆🥰

‼️Check under your car for sleeping cats🐈🚗👀‼️

In cold weather, cats may decide to take shelter under your car, including crawling under the bonnet and wheel arches to soak up the warmth from the car engine and tyres.

Before setting off in your car, make sure you tap the bonnet of your car and check around the wheels and on top of the tyres before you start the engine and drive.

🦇🦉🦔🦡🐁Wildlife Wednesday🐁🦡🦔🦉🦇

This time the topic is Corvids!

Did you know crows are cleaver little birds that can recognise human faces and are also one of the few birds that will recognise themselves in a mirror and not think their reflection is another bird!

Sadly, this little guy was extremely ill when he was brought into us by a kind member of the public. Wherever possible we will treat wildlife initially and then arrange transportation to a wildlife rehabilitation centre where they will stay until they are fit and well enough to return to the area in which they were found.

We were blown away by the beautiful sketch and kind words sent in by the finder of this bird! We thought it was too good not share! 🥰
