Today, we go behind the scenes to show you what happened when our patient Bobs came in for his dental surgery. There are graphic images of dental surgery, including surgical work, blood
sampling and intravenous catheter placement plus some cute photos of Bobs.
Bobs story:
Bobs belongs to our Practice Administrator Victoria and her wife, Debs. Poor Bobs did not have a good start in life as he was found neglected in a house aged around 5 weeks old, suffering from
Feline Calicivirus (FCV). Fortunately, Victoria rescued him, and with the help of the dedicated veterinary team where she worked previously, barrier nursing Bobs at home for a very long time and
Bobs amazing fighting spirit, he eventually made it through despite also suffering secondary pneumonia. Feline calicivirus (FCV) is one of the major causes of feline infectious upper
respiratory tract disease (cat flu). Typical signs include sneezing, nasal discharge, ocular
discharge,conjunctivitis, ulceration of the tongue, lethargy, inappetence, and fever. Issues
associated with FCV can include chronic gingivitis (gum disease) and stomatitis (inflamed/sore mouth). Poor Bobs has suffered with gingivitis through his life but has always coped well, eaten
very well and until recently, has not shown any signs of this causing him pain. Victoria noticed
though recently, when stroking Bobs around his face and neck, that he was 'chattering' with his mouth and so he had a check up with vet, Michelle, who decided that he needed urgent dental surgery as he had some very damaged teeth that would need assessing under general
anaesthetic. Bobs was admitted and initially had a pre-anaesthetic blood test to check his
overall health prior to anaesthetic. Most of our lab tests are done at the surgery, which means results can be available very quickly. Bobs had an intravenous catheter placed, and he was sedated, anaesthetised, and placed on intravenous fluids to help support his cardiovascular function throughout his procedure. We have a multi parameter machine that enables us to check Bobs heart rate, blood pressure,
SpO2 ( how much oxygen Bobs blood is carrying), a capnograph which measures CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the gas Bobs breathes out, ECG, and body temperature, and also our nurse monitors Bobs with a stethoscope to manually check his heart rate, and she also monitored his breathing. Bobs teeth were sadly too damaged by the virus to be saved, and Michelle had to remove all of his remaining teeth and some roots that were buried in his gums. A gel called Vetigel was used to fill the sites where the teeth were removed as this controls the bleeding very quickly, and Bobs was given local anaesthetic nerve block into his gums (similar to the ones we have at the dentist) to help with post-operative pain. We used K-laser therapy after his surgery on his wounds as this promotes healing and manages pain and inflammation. Bobs recovered very quickly from his anaesthetic and was able to go home later that same day. He was discharged with antibiotics and pain relief and will have another laser therapy session after 3 days. Incredibly, Bobs managed to eat that very same day, enjoying special chicken soup and mousse that were nice and soft on his gums. He has made a full recovery in just a few days and is back to eating his normal diet and no more 'chattering'.

Here at the Burghley Veterinary Centre as an Accredited Cat Friendly Practice we are excited for International Cat Day tomorrow!! 🥰🐈

Every time you play with your cat, you are building trust. 😻 Play is a wonderful opportunity to bond and have fun together, whilst meeting an important welfare need for your cat.

Research has shown that owners who played regularly with their cats felt their cats experienced a better quality of life than those who played less. Daily play time of at least 5 minutes with a wand toy was also linked to closer cat-owner relationships. 💕

So, all that you need to nurture your special relationship with your cat is 5 minutes of play each day. 😺 See below for International Cat Care's guide to safe interactive cat play!

Keep an eye on our page for more cat tips over the next few days 🐾

WARNING‼️

Grass seed season is upon us 🌱😳

This little chap called Harvey was brought in by his owner for a potential grass seed in his front paw. His owner had noticed him licking the paw so booked an appointment to see our vet Michelle.

Michelle removed the grass seed that was causing the irritation which had already pe*****ted the skin approximately half way and then checked the other paws 🐾

Due to having fluffy paws Harvey had a total of TWENTY TWO GRASS SEEDS at various stages of being stuck in his fur to starting to pe*****te the skin that could of potentially caused a painful issue! 😳

Luckily Harvey's owner had acted promptly and save Harvey from having surgery to remove the grass seeds!

If you walk you pet on grassy areas please check their paws for grass seeds after each walk to avoid them becoming embedded in the skin! 🐾

Rabbits are not just for Easter 🐇

Here at the Burghley Veterinary Centre we are commited to ensuring responsible Pet Ownership.

The campaign "Make Mine Chocolate" explains the importance of not buying rabbits as Easter presents and instead buying chocolate rabbits. Did you know 4 out of 5 rabbits end up surrendered after Easter due to people not knowing the intense care rabbits require. 😳

Rabbits unfortunately do not make good childrens pets due to their complex care requirements. Children can often get bored of this quickly and the work falls on busy parents to care for this new pet. 😥

Rabbits deserve long and fulfilled lives from someone who has the time available to them. Make a commitment this Easter by sharing this post!

Here at the Burghley Veterinary Centre we like to ensure our patients are at ease when having procedures done🥰 In light of Pet Anxiety Awareness Month we pride ourselves on being a fear free practice!

Jura came in for the day on friday for blood tests and a urine test. He can normally get a little worried about his vet visits but today was made easier with magical liver paste! We use this technique to distract the patients from any procedures being done where it is safe to do so. As you can see in the video, Jura was so happy to be given treats that he didn't even notice our vet Michelle taking a urine sample! 🎉🐱

Jura was very brave and throughly enjoyed his day with us after a bowl of tuna too!😊

Give Jura a like to wish him well after his procedure! 👍
