Muffin
Meet Muffin 🐱
Muffin visited us at our Brindley Way Hospital and recently had surgery to repair a fracture.
She loved her litter tray bed more than her castle 😂
She wasn't to tolerant of her ice packing until Maria RVN stayed to comfort her throughout for 20 minutes as seen in this video 🥰

Myth 3
🚫 Myth: Anaesthesia-free dental cleanings are safe and effective
✅ Fact: While they may seem less risky, it is illegal for anyone other than a veterinary surgeon to clean under the gums. Anaesthesia-free cleanings only address surface issues. Professional cleanings under anaesthesia allow for thorough examination and cleaning, addressing underlying problems.

Lets chat home dental care
Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy and prevent dental disease. 🤔
💡 Establish a daily oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing your pet's teeth regularly with a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste. Brushing helps remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
🍽️ Feeding your pet a balanced diet and providing dental chews or toys may help promote oral health by reducing plaque and tartar accumulation. Avoiding excessive amounts of sugary treats and table scraps can also contribute to better dental health for your pet.
👀 Be aware of the more obvious signs of dental problems: bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and difficulty chewing. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to schedule a dental exam with your vet promptly.
🏥 Regular vet check-ups are also crucial for maintaining your pet's dental health by spotting early signs of dental disease. During these visits, your vet can perform a thorough dental examination, and advise on further professional treatments as needed, and offer guidance on home dental care practices.
💬 Stay proactive in your pet's dental care to prevent dental disease. Reach out to our team with any concerns! Don't wait until there's a problem – book your pet's dental check-up today! 🐾🦷

Myth 2
🚫 Myth: My pet's bad breath is normal
✅ Fact: Persistent bad breath could signal underlying dental issues like gum disease or tooth decay, which can impact overall health. Consult with your veterinarian if your pet has persistent bad breath.
