What’s the trick to having a successful blood test ?
Having an emotional support acorn of course !!

Mister Monty had a visit with our vet Kasia, and had to have some dreaded blood tests, however with his very snazzy acorn, there was nothing to fear !!
Well done for being so brave Monty, you definitely stole all of our hearts with your special acorn plushy ❤️❤️

Overindulged during the holiday season? As many of us embark on New Year’s resolution diet and fitness regimes, lots of our pets would benefit from accompanying us. It is estimated that up to 65% of dogs and 50% of cats in the UK are obese.
Being overweight leaves pets at greater risk of conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and arthritis and studies have shown that it can dramatically reduce their overall life expectancy.

Trick master alert !
Nellie had a visit with our RVN Amy this month, for her healthy pet club - 6 month health check.
After behaving very well for her examination, she spent the remaining time in her appointment showing Amy all of her tricks that she’s learnt (of course, with many treats as rewards!)

We will include the video of her being super cute and clever in the comments ❤️❤️

This is particularly important when antibiotics are being used.

We should always give antibiotics for the shortest length of time required to achieve a cure, however if a longer course is required this should be continuous for them to be effective and create the least antimicrobial resistance. Finishing a short course of antibiotics, seeing that symptoms recur, then restarting treatment is much less effective.

This will usually require a longer total course of treatment (as bacteria will have multiplied again while treatment was not being given) and prove more expensive.

Sometimes a condition has improved but not resolved at the time of a recheck. Your vet will know what degree of improvement is expected in a particular timeframe and be able to decide whether your pet simply needs more time, or whether treatment plans need changing.
If required, medication doses may be changed or additional medications can be prescribed. The earlier it is identified that a first-line treatment is insufficient for an individual case, the sooner we can intervene to achieve a cure in a timely and economic fashion.

Meet Jeff, the bestest boy !!

Jeff had a castration with us last month, and he truly was the most well behaved, stylish boy ever !
The nurses of course fell in love with Jeff, and couldn’t resist taking some photos of him being super polite before going home. He even helped the nurses remove his pressure bandage by giving some very helpful ‘paws’ 🥹

With the cost of living increasing, you may be starting to feel the impact on your monthly budget and looking for ways to reduce outgoings.
Our animal companions are part of the family and provide immeasurable support during hard times, but looking after their needs also contributes to monthly bills.

You may ask yourself if you can afford pet insurance, but when times are tough having the right pet insurance may actually help you manage costs more effectively

Blue Monday typically falls on the third Monday of January and is often considered the “saddest day of the year”.
Fortunately, we all know that our pets are great at cheering us up, and here’s how they can help raise your spirits this January:-

🐾Studies show that interacting with pets—like stroking their fur or playing— releases oxytocin (the "feel-good" hormone) and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

🐾Walking a dog or playing with a cat keeps you active, which boosts
endorphins and helps combat sadness or depression.
Pets are very intuitive, meaning they can sense when you are feeling down. Their comforting presence alone can be enough to soothe any feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness.

How do your pets help you beat the January blues? Share your stories and
photos in the comments! 🐶🐱🐭🐰🐥🐦🐴❤

Many conditions we see that present as an acute problem are actually a sign of something underlying.

The most common example is an ear infection due to underlying allergic skin disease. Although we can treat the ear infection, if we don’t address the skin disease the ear will continue developing infections and, eventually, develop chronic problems.

The active infection is the priority and diagnosing and managing this should be the focus of the initial consultation, however at the follow-up appointment the vet will have more time to discuss other signs of skin disease and suggest further investigations or long-term management options to help control this and reduce the likelihood of recurrent infections.

This is the case for many other problems that are likely to recur or persist, such as urinary tract disease (particularly in cats), lameness, diarrhoea, or pancreatitis, to name a few.

The most common reason for a re-examination is to determine whether your pet is actually better. Some problems have an expected course of disease, such as kennel cough, so we may only request a recheck if your pet isn’t better in the usual timeframe.

For other conditions, it can be difficult to tell if they are better or not at home, for example an eye ulcer that needs special stain applying, an ear infection that requires examination with an otoscope or cytology performing, or a urinary tract infection that needs urine testing to check for blood or bacteria.

If we don’t identify that the condition is not resolved, the consequences can include ongoing pain or discomfort for your pet, increased cost overall, and sometimes even permanent damage to the affected body parts.

Hearing dog Albert has been on an adventure with his deaf partner Sarah, as they visited York city centre.
Albert took in all the sights, including the spectacular York Minster, and did so well in a busy environment with lots of people.
Not only that, but Albert also travelled on two forms of public transport and proved to be the perfect passenger on both a train and a river cruise.
Amazing job as always, Albert!❤

Having your teeth brushed is a strange experience, and many pets will panic if it is not introduced slowly and gently. It may take a month or two to reach a point of “proper brushing” – this is normal and nothing to worry about.

🌟 Case of the Month: Izzy 🌟
Meet Izzy, our practice manager Cathy’s beloved cat.

Izzy has been living with chronic kidney disease, a condition diagnosed last year. She had been doing well—until recently, when she became reluctant to eat for several days. Concerned, Cathy brought her in for an examination with our vet, Martyna.

Blood tests revealed a surprising twist: while her kidneys were stable, Izzy was jaundiced and had alarmingly high liver enzyme levels, some of which were off the top end of the scale. (ALT was over 1000, and bilirubin measured at 78) An ultrasound revealed the culprit: severely dilated bile ducts and an enlarged gall bladder, indicating a dangerous obstruction in her bile flow.

Without intervention, Izzy’s gall bladder could have ruptured, leaking toxic bile into her abdomen and causing life-threatening septic peritonitis. The odds weren’t in her favor. Medical treatment for such obstructions is rarely effective, and the surgical option—a cholecystoduodenostomy (a mouthful, we know!)—is incredibly high-risk, with a 50% mortality rate due to complications like post-operative leakage.

Izzy’s situation was further complicated by her pre-existing kidney disease, age, and frail build. But Cathy made the brave decision to give Izzy a fighting chance. That evening, our team sprang into action.

The surgery, performed by Jonny with Nurse Emma scrubbed in to assist, was truly a team effort. Nurse Hannah carefully monitored Izzy’s general anaesthetic, ensuring her safety throughout the complex procedure. During the operation, Izzy’s gall bladder was carefully “plumbed” into her small intestine to bypass the obstruction.

However, the procedure wasn’t without drama—Izzy stopped breathing during the anaesthetic and needed to be ventilated by Hannah throughout. An oesophageal feeding tube was also placed to ensure she received proper nutrition and medication post-surgery.

After the operation, Izzy faced a tough recovery. She was cold and slow to start breathing on her own. Thanks to the incredible aftercare from our MiNight team (Itziar and Nat), she gradually brightened through the night. By morning, she was eating, moving around, and showing us her indomitable spirit!

The next few days were critical as we held our breath, watching for any signs of post-surgical complications. But Izzy defied the odds. By Day 7, her feeding tube became blocked, but she’d already proven she didn’t need it—she was eating like a champ!

Today, Izzy is back to her old self: eating well, gaining weight, and enjoying life like the fighter she is. 💪🐾
Please join us in celebrating Izzy’s incredible journey and the teamwork that saved her life. Stories like these remind us why we do what we do every day. 💖
