Tilly has been with us today for a simple procedure and had been a little anxious. Once she had recovered nicely we gave her a licky mat with some tasty food on to keep her busy.
The licking motion helps to produce more saliva which can help reduce anxieties.
Tilly loved it as you can see and it helped her to settle a little.
🐱Kitten playtime, Look how happy Luna was earlier🐱
We told you Nevis loved the sugary water.
Snuggle time for “Wanda” today with our Student Veterinary Nurse Natalie.

Mopsy and CottonTail are two brothers who came in to be castrated last week! They were so chilled in the cattery before and after their operations! 🐱🐈🐾
Everyone had a fantastic time at our puppy socialisation class on Tuesday!! 🐩🐕
We had a special vistor - Kerrianne who is a senior coach from Dogs Trust Dog School. She explained how to read your puppy's behaviour to best help him/her learn new things. All contributions for running the puppy classes will been donated to Dogs Trust Shrewsbury.
These fun and informative classes are aimed at all puppies under the age of 16 weeks. We will be running them at our Bicton Heath practice on a monthly basis.
Our puppies had chance to 'try before you buy' with our wide range of puppy essential toys - which kept them busy and entertained during the class! 🐾
Meet Harry, who recently survived a blocked bladder! We have crowned him Braveheart for the month of May.
About three in every 100 cats will be affected by cystitis at some stage in their lives. Unfortunately for Harry, this resulted in him being unable to empty his bladder to the point that he was almost collapsed when he arrived at the vets. His bladder was approximately the size of a grapefruit and stretched as tight as a football!
Blood tests showed that Harry was in shock, his kidneys were suffering and he had multiple electrolyte imbalances. After being put on shock rate fluids, he was immediately anaesthetised and given anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic medication, along with plenty of pain relief. Next, a urinary catheter (tube) was inserted into his bladder to drain the trapped urine and relieve the pressure. This proved very tricky as there were multiple blockages in Harry's urethra.
Harry recovered extremely well. He stayed with us on lots of medications for 3 days and was closely monitored. Once the urine being produced became less blood tinged, his catheter was removed. We were all over the moon when he was seen going for to the toilet in his litter tray - so much so that we took a photograph!!
There are lots of reasons why cats get cystitis and might get 'blocked'. The most common reason is stress - so we always recommend providing plenty of litter trays, ready access to water and plenty of hiding places for your pussycat. Harry has finished his medications now, but will have to be fed a special diet for the rest of his life to help prevent this problem recurring.
We had a great day supporting Grinshill Animal Rescue's Pet Rescue Day yesterday by offering free health checks, games and dressing up for kids and competitions galore! Some of our staff even entered the family dog show!
We loved seeing a lot of our loyal clients and their pets, old and new, and hope you all enjoyed yourself as much as we did!!
