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.

We are having a lot of messages regarding the little stray dog.
Whilst it is very heartwarming that so many people want to open their homes to this little one, there are certain legalities that need to be followed.
This little one is now safe with The City Dogs Home in Stoke.
If anyone wants to genuinely offer them a home, please contact them directly 🐾❤️
