๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฑ HAPPY NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ–ค

What is National Black Cat Day?
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
National Black Cat Day was created by Cats Protection on 27 October 2011 to help celebrate the majesty of monochrome moggies and beautiful black cats. When the campaign was launched, statistics revealed that black and black-and-white cats took, on average, seven days longer to find a home compared to cats of other colours.

Negative Associations/Myths with Black Cats include:
- They are not as photogenic ๐Ÿ“ธ
- They are bad luck ๐Ÿ€
- They are in fact witches ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
- They are less friendly & more aggressive ๐Ÿ˜ 

As we all know the things above just arenโ€™t true, and black cats like any other cat deserve love too! So today is a day to celebrate those mini pet panthers, and dispel the myths around black cats!

We hope you & your beautiful black cats have had a lovely Sunday ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค

๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿถ AMAZING ANNA ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’›

Here we have little Anna. She first came to see us in August and had been diagnosed with a Gall Bladder Mucoscele at her previous practice. The gallbladder is an excretory organ that plays an important part in your dogโ€™s digestive health. It stores and fortifies bile, which is required for digestion and to absorb vital nutrients. The formation of a mucocele can cause biliary duct obstruction, bacterial infections, reduced or disrupted bile flow, necrosis of the gallbladder wall, and gallbladder rupture, which can then cause septic peritonitis, or the leakage of fluids into the abdominal cavity. This can cause septic shock, which can be fatal. Early diagnosis is essential to successful treatment and recovery.

Anna had been on a course of medical management and came to us for an ultrasound scan and blood tests to monitor her condition. In herself she was stable, but from the investigations her condition had worsened and therefore the best course of action was made to perform a Cholecystectomy (Gall Bladder Removal). The surgery is complex and of course does not come without risks but Anna was in very safe hands with our surgical vets Barbara & Christina and our Nursing Team ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

We are super pleased to say that Anna is doing very well post operatively. She is such a sweet girl and we are all very taken with her! Well done to Anna & her mom for being such superstars. Here she is at her post op check recently having lots of fuss & demanding more when we stopped ๐Ÿฅฐโญ๏ธ

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฑ MIDNIGHT ON THE MOVE ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ–ค

As you may have heard and seen on 10th June it was made compulsory for cats to be microchipped. We have a very happy story to share with you all about a little cat called Midnight & the success of microchipping in helping us reunite her with her owner โค๏ธ

Midnight had been spotted on a busy dual carriageway in Stourport. She then eventually made her way to the local tip where she was picked up by one of our lovely long term clients who took her in and gave her food, water and shelter. They brought her into us to check if she had a microchip and for a health check. We were delighted to find that she was in fact microchipped, however to our surprise her owners address was Bilston. A long distance away from where she was found.
We called the number provided on the microchip and straight away we managed to get hold of the registered keeper. Her owner explained that she had been missing for a couple of months and he had given up hope of finding her. The client that had brought her in to us connected the dots and advised that around the time she was spotted they did have a van that had arrived from Bilston to the tip, therefore we can only assume that she had become a stow away on the van and that is how she came to end up miles away from her home!

We were so happy that we were able to reunite Midnight with her owner. And her owner was thrilled to have her back! As soon as Midnight saw her dad, she was purring and happy ๐Ÿฅฐ It would not have been possible and it would not have happened so quickly if he hadnโ€™t have kept the microchip details up to date!

If you have any questions about your pets microchip then just give us a call and we will be happy to help! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿถ REGGIE ๐Ÿถ๐ŸคŽ

Reggieโ€™s mom and dad brought him into us as he had a swollen hind foot that he was licking at. On his clinical exam, Barbara our vet found Reggieโ€™s paw to be very inflamed and painful. She clipped the fur to visualise the skin underneath better. Barbara could then see what looked like an entry wound, making her highly suspicious of a foreign body, most likely a grass seed to be the culprit! She gave the foot a clean and gave Reggie pain relief and antibiotic injections. He was then scheduled to come back in the next day for a sedation and exploratory procedure on his foot to hopefully find the cause and remove it.

Under Reggieโ€™s sedation we explored the foot further and Barbara found the causeโ€ฆ a grass seed! ๐ŸŒพ the seed was removed and the site was given a good flush. Reggie was sent home later on to recover with more pain relief and an antibiotic course. We have since had Reggie back for his post operative nurse check and he is doing really well now that the pesky grass seed has been removed! ๐Ÿงก

โค๏ธ๐Ÿถ Lovely Lola! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

This super lovely girl had been having routine Librela injections with us which were helping with her mobility. However, she presented to us at the beginning of March very lame on her left hind leg. Neil examined her and diagnosed that she had a Cruciate Ligament Rupture. In a lot of dogs the cranial cruciate ligament ruptures as a result of long term degeneration, where the fibres within the ligament weaken over time. We cannot always be 100% sure of the cause however genetic factors, predisposed breeds as well as obesity, individual confirmation and certain inflammatory conditions of the joint may also play a role in this. We first X-Rayed Lola to aid us in her diagnosis. She also weighed in at around 47kg! which unfortunately was very overweight for her. Our next step to correct the cruciate ligament would be for Lola to have TPLO (Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy) surgery. As Lola was carrying a lot of weight it was not ideal to proceed straight to procedure, therefore we made sure Lola was comfortable with pain relief & Lola's owner did an amazing job for two weeks prior to her TPLO with us, managing to get her weight down to 38kg!

Barbara our 'Surgery Queen ๐Ÿ‘‘' then performed the TPLO surgery to correct the cruciate ligament rupture. TPLO surgery involves creating a cut radially in the top of the tibia and rotation of plateau segment until the previous slope in the bone is no longer present. The bone is then fixed into this new position using a bone plate and screws. After Lola's surgery she continues to lose weight now weighing in at 36.5kg and with this means she has a new lease of life and her post operation recovery is going fantastically!

We are all so incredibly proud of Lola & her mom for putting in such a great effort with helping Lola to lose her weight, and we are so glad that Lola is much more comfortable on her leg post her surgery - what superstars! ๐Ÿฅฐโญ๏ธ

๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒพGrass Seeds๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s grass seed season! These little seeds can cause our dogs a number of issues during the summer months. They are found in long grass meadows and woodlands. In appearance they are small and pointy which means they can easily pierce the skin and burrow underneath causing a foreign body. As well as this they can go into the eyes, ear canals and nose which causes significant pain and discomfort.

๐Ÿ’กItโ€™s a good idea to make sure that after walks you check your dogโ€™s fur - especially their feet, legs, face and ears for any signs of grass seeds and remove them.
๐Ÿ’ก Another tip which can help prevent grass seeds attaching is to keep the fur around the face and paws short.

If your dog has a grass seed stuck in their paw, ear, nose, eyes or skin, you may notice your dog:
๐Ÿถ licking their paw constantly and vigorously
๐Ÿถ has a painful swelling between their toes
๐Ÿถ limping
๐Ÿถ shaking their head
๐Ÿถ pawing at their ear or rubbing it against surfaces after a walk
๐Ÿถ suddenly and violently sneezing
๐Ÿถ has redness, swelling or discharge in their eye
๐Ÿถ chewing or licking at a sore spot on their skin

Treatment for grass seeds depends on their location, unfortunately they are not picked up on X-Ray so if we suspect a grass seed has gone under the skin then we will likely need to perform a surgical procedure to try to locate the seed and remove it. If they have gone into the ear canals or nasal cavity then again exploration of these locations under a sedation or general anaesthetic will be required.

If you suspect that your pet has a grass seed injury then please do not hesitate to give us a call so we can get your pet looked at right away ๐Ÿ’›
