Managing Fungal Infections such a Ringworm in Cats and Dogs

Ringworm, a common fungal infection, affects not only humans but also pets, particularly cats and dogs. Caused by dermatophytes, ringworm in pets is a contagious condition that can spread to other animals and humans, making prompt diagnosis and treatment crucial.
Causes and Transmission
Ringworm in pets is primarily caused by the fungi Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The infection spreads through direct contact with an infected animal or contaminated objects such as bedding, grooming tools, and furniture. Cats, especially kittens, are more susceptible to ringworm than dogs. Long-haired breeds are at a higher risk due to their dense fur, which provides an ideal environment for fungal growth.
Symptoms in Pets
The symptoms of ringworm in cats and dogs can vary but often include:
Circular Patches of Hair Loss: These may appear on the head, ears, paws, and forelimbs. The affected areas may be scaly or crusty.
Red, Inflamed Skin: The skin around the hairless patches may be red and inflamed.
Itching: Pets might scratch or lick the infected areas frequently.
Broken Hairs: Hair in the infected areas may break easily.
Dull Coat: An overall dull and lifeless coat can be a sign of ringworm.
In some cases, pets may carry the fungi without showing any symptoms, serving as asymptomatic carriers and spreading the infection unknowingly.
Diagnosis
Veterinarians use several methods to diagnose ringworm in pets:
Wood’s Lamp Examination: A special ultraviolet lamp can help identify certain types of ringworm that fluoresce under UV light.
Fungal Culture: A sample of hair or skin can be cultured in a lab to confirm the presence of dermatophytes.
Microscopic Examination: Scraped skin cells or plucked hairs are examined under a microscope to look for fungal spores.
Treatment
Treatment of ringworm in pets involves a combination of topical and systemic therapies.

Dear Cat Owners: Important Information

All pet cats in England must be microchipped by June 10, 2024, to ensure their safety and compliance with the law. Failure to comply within 21 days may result in a fine of up to £500.

Starting June 10, 2024, it will be mandatory to microchip cats from 20 weeks of age. We strongly recommend microchipping your cat before allowing them outdoors for the first time, as it significantly increases the chances of being reunited if they ever go missing.

If you're unsure whether your cat is microchipped, our team at Poplar Vets or Wood Wharf Vets can quickly scan and check for a microchip. Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure performed by our experienced veterinary surgeons or nurses.

Owners must ensure that their details on the microchip databases are kept up to date. Microchips play a crucial role in reuniting lost pets with their owners, providing peace of mind for all parties involved.

The cost for microchip implantation at Poplar Vets and Wood Wharf Vets is £25. For kittens undergoing spaying or neutering procedures, the price for microchipping is reduced to £15 if performed simultaneously.

Take the first step in ensuring your cat's safety by scheduling an appointment for microchipping today. Contact us at:

The Role of the Veterinary Nurse

Veterinary nurses play a crucial role in supporting veterinarians and ensuring the well-being of animals. Their responsibilities vary depending on the setting they work in, but generally include:

Animal Care: Veterinary nurses assist in the care and treatment of animals. This involves feeding, grooming, exercising, and monitoring the animals' health and behavior.
Medical Support: They help veterinarians during examinations, surgeries, and other medical procedures. This can include preparing surgical equipment, monitoring anesthesia, and administering medications or treatments as directed by the veterinarian.
Client Education: Veterinary nurses often communicate with pet owners, providing them with information about animal care, medication administration, and post-treatment instructions. They may also offer advice on nutrition, behavior, and preventive healthcare.
Laboratory Work: They may be responsible for collecting and processing laboratory samples, such as blood or urine, and performing diagnostic tests under the supervision of a veterinarian.
Administrative Duties: Veterinary nurses may handle administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments, maintaining medical records, and managing inventory of supplies and medications.
Emergency Care: In emergency situations, veterinary nurses play a crucial role in stabilizing and providing immediate care to injured or ill animals until a veterinarian can take over.
Animal Welfare Advocacy: They advocate for the welfare of animals by ensuring they receive proper care and treatment, reporting any signs of neglect or abuse, and promoting responsible pet ownership.
Overall, veterinary nurses are essential members of the veterinary healthcare team, contributing to the well-being of animals and supporting the work of veterinarians in various capacities.

Having veterinary practices like Poplar Vets and Wood Wharf Vets equipped with the LOGIQ e ultrasound system means that they have access to advanced imaging technology tailored to their specific needs.

Veterinary abdominal ultrasound scans are commonly performed to assess the organs and structures within a cat's abdomen. This non-invasive procedure uses sound waves to create images of the internal organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and gastrointestinal tract.

Veterinarians may recommend an abdominal ultrasound for various reasons, such as investigating symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or changes in appetite. It can help diagnose conditions like kidney disease, liver abnormalities, tumors, bladder stones, or gastrointestinal issues.

During the ultrasound, the cat usually lies on its side, and a water-based gel is applied to the skin to help transmit the sound waves. The ultrasound probe is then moved over the abdomen to capture images of the internal organs. The procedure is generally painless and well-tolerated by most cats.

The results of the ultrasound can provide valuable information to the veterinarian, aiding in diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions. If your cat's veterinarian has recommended an abdominal ultrasound, it's essential to follow their advice and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure or its findings.

The LOGIQ e ultrasound system is a valuable tool for veterinary practitioners, offering crisp imaging in a compact package tailored to the needs of veterinarians. Whether it's for emergency interventions or routine patient care, this ultrasound system has been designed with veterinary professionals in mind.
With optimized bright-room imaging, veterinarians can rely on clear and precise images.
The system's remarkable tissue differentiation capabilities allow veterinarians to discern subtle differences in animal anatomy, aiding in the diagnosis of various conditions ranging from abdominal organ abnormalities to musculoskeletal issues. This clarity in imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in veterinary medicine.
Furthermore, the precise needle guidance feature of the LOGIQ e is invaluable for veterinarians performing procedures such as biopsies, aspirates, or injections on animals. This capability ensures accuracy and minimizes potential complications, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced stress for both the animal and the practitioner.
Overall, the LOGIQ e ultrasound system is a versatile and reliable tool that enhances the capabilities of veterinary professionals, enabling them to deliver high-quality care to their animal patients effectively and efficiently.
