Meet Jett 🖤🤍

Jett came in to see one of our Veterinary Nurses for a post operative check after having her eye removed.

Jett was diagnosed with chronic glaucoma in her left eye which is a very painful disease. Treatment was unsuccessful and enucleation was the best course of action for Jett.

We are so proud of Jett and how she has recovered from her surgery. Life with one eye is not holding her back. She is still happy to come and see the team and get some well earned snacks 🐾🦴

🌟JANUARY'S PET OF THE MONTH🌟

🐾PIPKIN FIELD🐾


Pipkin is a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. She recently came in for a routine health check and we were amazed at how clean her teeth were! She had no gingivitis or tartar build up. Her owner informed us that she brushes Pipkin’s teeth daily and has been doing so since she was just a 6-week-old pup.

I asked Pipkin’s owner if we could take a photo of her pearly whites as we wanted to share with the team and our clients how tooth brushing really is the gold standard when it comes to maintaining our pet's oral health.

The oral health of our pets is incredibly important.

Gingivitis is a condition that causes inflammation, irritation, redness, swelling and bleeding of the gingiva. Gingiva is the part of the gum around the base of the teeth. Gingivitis is caused by a build up of plaque on the teeth. Plaque is a sticky material made up of bacteria, mucus and food debris that builds up on the tooth and along the gumline.

Plaque, if left, hardens to form tartar. Tartar can only be removed by a de scaler therefore daily brushing to remove the plaque is recommended.

Dental infection creates bacteria that gets released into the bloodstream (bacteraemia) and therefore distributed throughout the whole body. The bacteria triggers an immune response which results in inflammation. Continuous prolonged exposure to bacteremia is associated with systemic disease.

If you would like advice on how to keep your pets' teeth clean, then please ask to have a chat with one of the nurses.

Reunited with owner 😊

Is this girl yours? Or do you know who she may live with? She’s been looking a little lost for a while so she has been brought to us to get checked over and to help find her owner. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a microchip. We can see she has had facial surgery not that long ago. We are taking care of her and she is ok but we would love to get her reunited with her owner. Please contact the practice if you have any information about who this lovely cat is.

⭐️PET OF THE MONTH⭐️
🦷PIXIE🦷

Pixie is a gorgeous 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier with Cushing’s Syndrome - a condition where her adrenal glands produce too much cortisol leading to increased thirst, a poor coat and a potbellied appearance. This is really well controlled with daily medication and regular blood tests, keeping Pixie healthy and symptom free. However, at one of these check ups it was noticed that Pixie had lots of tartar on her teeth, gum disease and even some loose teeth. Some breeds and individual dogs are more prone to this than others. Dogs will very rarely whine about dental pain (unlike us when we have toothache!) and it is incredibly unusual for them to stop eating because of it. Her owners said “During her annual check up, Doris alerted us to the fact that Pixie’s teeth were not in good condition. We were very apprehensive about dental treatment involving an anaesthetic given her age and Cushing's disease but Doris assured us that being 14 shouldn’t be seen as a reason not to go ahead and that bacteria from her teeth could be making her generally unwell. So we went ahead knowing Pixie would be in safe hands at Cogges”. The majority of our dentals are done on older dogs so a lot is done to keep their anaesthetics as safe as possible. Blood tests check for underlying conditions that could be made worse by the anaesthetic, intravenous fluids support blood pressure and liver and kidney function and each anaesthetic is carefully monitored by a Registered Veterinary Nurse, with a range of equipment to help. We also have dental x-rays so that we can assess tooth roots to properly plan extractions.

Pixie had a whopping 23 teeth removed and was already missing several so, although dogs usually have 42 teeth, she now just has 4 teeth left. However, we only remove teeth that are causing pain and cannot be saved so it is much better to have only a few teeth than to have sore teeth. Her owners said “Despite needing to have a large number of teeth extracted it only took a few days for Pixie to recover and gain a new lease of life. She is clearly a much happier dog and despite having fewer teeth, she tucks into her food with gusto!”
