Eevee has gone walkabout… Missing since Monday morning from Malcolm Close, Park Gate/Locks Heath, Eevee is very friendly and quite vocal. She can be quite cheeky and inquisitive; so has she slipped into your garage or shed? She is microchipped and neutered. Her young family are missing her terribly and would like her to be reunited with them. SHARE AWAY FOLKS, LET’S GET EEVEE BACK HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS… #missingcat #lostcat #findmycat #reunitecat #lostpet

Folks…I check our four cats every day for ticks…but I still came across this blood engorged tick on the bathroom floor! Who brought it in? Who knows, maybe one of the children! 🤦♀️ Keep an eagle eye out for these disease spreading critters; I have been finding ticks on the cats regularly over the last few months. #tick #tickawareness #parasites #parasitesofinstagram #ticksofinstagram #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram The Cat Welfare GroupBlue Cross UKBatterseaRSPCA (England & Wales)RSPCA The Stubbington ArkCats ProtectionDogs TrustSecond Chance Animal Rescue SouthamptonSt Francis Animal WelfareNational Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT)PDSAThe Kennel Club UK Cats Protection - National Cat Adoption Centre
👂🏻Anyone‘s pet ever had these critters down their pets’ ears? 🙉 Read on…
Ear mites, Otodectes live on the skin of dogs, cats, ferrets and rabbits. They are usually found in the ear canal but can also live on the surface of the skin. They are highly contagious and spread by direct contact. Symptoms can be similar to other types of ear infections so diagnosis from your vet is essential. Signs include head shaking and scratching. They are very uncomfortable and if left untreated will lead to infection within the ear canal. If left untreated the infection can lead to deafness. #earmites #earmite #earinfection #otodectes #otodectescynotis #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catsagram #catsofig #rabbitsworldwide #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbit #ferret #ferretsofinstagram #ferretgram #ferrets #ferretlover #ferretlife #ferretlove PDSA RSPCA (England & Wales) RSPCA The Stubbington Ark Blue Cross Battersea St Francis Animal Welfare Cats Protection The Cat Welfare Group Dogs Trust

Camels symbolise long journeys; having brought the three Maji’s to Bethlehem. Without the majestic camel the wise men would not have been able to travel the distance to greet Jesus with gifts.

Most cat owners have seen one or two abscesses in their lifetime, but new owners may be horrified to discover a lump or indeed a burst abscess on their dear little kitty.
The most common abscess is a cat bite abscess. Cats teeth and claws harbour a range of troublesome bacteria. When they fight with other cats this bacteria is introduced under the skin of it’s opponent. As the bacteria grow and the body’s defence system goes to work a pouch of bacteria, dead and dying tissue and spent white blood cells form. This is known as an abscess. #pethealth #cathealth #cathealthcare #catabscess #abscess #pethealthcare #sickpets #veterinarymedicine #veterinary The Cat Welfare Group RSPCA (England & Wales) RSPCA The Stubbington Ark PDSA Battersea Cats Protection Many Tears Animal Rescue The Cinnamon Trust Woodgreen Pets Charity Blue Cross
So Matilda has been a little off colour of late. We had felt a small lump under her skin that had increased in size over a few days. Today she was admitted and treated by veterinarian Tris and assisted by nurses Gemma and Poppy. Matilda had an abscess which had burst in transit. So Tris clipped away the fur and cleaned out the resulting exit wound. Anti-inflammatories and antibiotics were administered…oh and the teeniest-weeniest tic was removed from above her eye! #abscess #catabscess #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catsofinsta #catstagramcat #veterinary The Cat Welfare Group Cats Protection The Catnip Times Battersea RSPCA (England & Wales) RSPCA The Stubbington Ark Blue Cross Woodgreen Pets Charity
Did you know that kittens should be socialised? They are most receptive between the ages of two to eight weeks of age. Positive encounters during this time is essential for a congenial cat. #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catstagram #kitten #kittens #kittensofinstagram #catwelfare #kittenwelfare #kittensocialisation #animalwelfare #pet #pets #petsofinstagram Cats Protection The Cat Welfare Group The Catnip Times Battersea PDSA Blue Cross RSPCA (England & Wales) RSPCA The Stubbington Ark The Cat Welfare GroupThe Catnip Times Cats Protection Animal Welfare LeagueWood Green, The Animals Charity
The second structure of interest in the Bracycephalic dog with compromised breathing is the area directly behind the nostrils. The Nasal Turbinates are scrolls of bone/cartilage covered in soft tissue that are designed to humidify and warm up inhaled air. When these extend past the nose into the pharynx (the area behind the nose and mouth) they can cause airflow obstruction. Often these turbinates are so narrow and compacted air is unable to be drawn in. #boas #brachycephalic #boxerdog #pug #bulldog #frenchbulldog #japanesechin #pekingnese #shihtzu #bostonterrier @Battersea RSPCA (England & Wales) RSPCA The Stubbington Ark PDSA Dogs Trust Many Tears Animal Rescue Wood Green, The Animals Charity Bully-Rescue Boxer Rescue Charity Shihtzu French Bulldog French Bulldog Rescue Network The Good Dog Guide

Sometimes puppy teeth do not fall out when their adult teeth come through. This is called ‘retained’ or ‘persistent deciduous’ teeth. Puppy teeth normally start to fall out from three months of age. However if they have not fallen out by the time their adult have fully emerged at around seven months of age then they can cause the permanent teeth to come through abnormally. Retained teeth will cause overcrowding of the teeth, an incorrect bite pattern, accidental biting of the palate and/or an abnormal jaw position.
Overcrowding can trap food and bacteria that cause plaque and tartar build up leading to oral disease in the adult tooth.
Early recognition and prompt dental care is essential to prevent permanent damage. It is often the smaller breeds of dogs that are affected.
Note the smaller deciduous canine being extracted. 🦷
