We loved cuddling you all day Winston! Such a brave Staffy boy for his Castration 💙
It could be that they’ve started waking you in the night, or that they’ve stopped sitting with you, maybe they just aren’t their usual self? Signs of high blood pressure in cats aren’t always obvious, but no one knows your cat better than you do. Subtle changes in behaviour can be the first signs of hypertension in cats, which if left unmanaged can become a serious health condition.
Don’t write it off as old age, early diagnosis of high blood pressure means your cat can get back to living their best life for years to come.
If your cat isn’t their usual self and is over 7 years old book a blood pressure check with us today.
Don’t worry they have lots of love ❤️

Big thank you to Joan at West Midlands Hedgehog Rescue for continuing to take our lovely hogs that’s get brought in! 🦔
Did you know last year the British hedgehog was officially classified as vulnerable to extinction! Vital rescues will massively help those declining numbers!

Proud to introduce our Charity of the year
We would like to introduce our Charity of the Year StreetVet. StreetVet are volunteer-led, registered veterinary practices who operate on the streets of 9 (soon to be 10) cities across the UK. London, Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Plymouth, Southampton, Cheltenham, Cornwall, Cambridge & Glasgow. They partner with organisations and veterinary practices to provide free and, most importantly, accessible veterinary care and support to the pets of the homeless. As you may already know, sadly, homelessness is a growing problem in the UK and an increasing number of homeless people have dogs. The bond between many homeless people and their dogs is profound. The health and wellbeing of their canine and sometimes feline companions is often a top priority for their owners. Being homeless makes it difficult to access the fundamental vet care required to ensure the health and vitality that these pets deserve. This is when our team of StreetVets and StreetNurses step in to provide the help and support. Please take a look at this video which explains all about the service that they provide.
If you would like to donate to StreetVet or see how you can support their work, please visit their website

Meet Frank and Theo
These beautiful boys have been in to our Cannock surgery today for castration. We think you will all agree they have recovered very well. Here they are playing in their house with our nurse Karen.
Can’t wait to see them back for check ups. Take a look in the comments for more pictures.
Creepy Crawly
Ear mites are a fairly common parasite in both dogs and cats. The mites are microscopic and infectious organisms which are like tiny white dots in appearance, but can barely be seen with the naked eye. Detection under a microscope is normally required to confirm their presence.
Ear mites live on the skin of the ear canal and feed off ear wax and skin oils. An adult normally lives for approximately two months, but can multiply quickly with eggs taking just four days to hatch and a further three weeks to develop into an adult mite ready to breed.
If you feel you Pet has been scratching more often then please give the surgery a call.
