🐾💔 Is your pet showing signs of discomfort or reluctance to play?

It might be arthritis! This common condition affects many pets, especially as they age, and can lead to pain and reduced mobility.

Causes of pet arthritis can include:
- Age-related wear and tear on joints 🦴
- Previous injuries or trauma ⚡
- Obesity, which puts extra strain on joints ⚖️
- Genetic predispositions in certain breeds 🐕

But there’s hope! Early detection and management can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life.

New drugs for dogs and cats can also significantly decrease pain without putting stress on the kidneys or stomach.

From weight management to medication and joint supplements, our team at The Sanctuary Animal Hospital and Chris and Nicola's Animal Hospital are here to help your furry friend feel their best.

If you notice any signs of discomfort, don’t wait—schedule a check-up today!

如果你發現你的寵物出現不適或不想玩耍的情況，可能是患上了關節炎！這是一種常見的病症，尤其在年長的寵物中更為常見，會導致疼痛和活動能力下降。

寵物關節炎的成因包括：
- 年齡相關的關節磨損 🦴
- 之前的受傷或創傷 ⚡
- 肥胖，對關節造成額外的壓力 ⚖️
- 某些品種的遺傳傾向 🐕

但不用擔心！及早發現和管理可以顯著改善你的寵物生活質素。

現在有新的藥物可以有效減少狗狗和貓咪的疼痛，並且不會對腎臟或胃造成壓力。

從控制體重到藥物和關節補充品，我們的團隊在 The Sanctuary Animal Hospital 和 Chris and Nicola's Animal Hospital 隨時可以幫助你的毛小孩感覺更好。

如果你注意到任何不適的跡象，千萬不要等，立即預約檢查！

You may remember a post about Sparky an older Pomeranian with hair loss. After testing we discovered that Sparky had a disease where his adrenal glands produce too many steroids called hyperadrenocorticism.

We often find this disease in older small breed dogs. But not this time...

Meet Bowen. 🐶 Bowen is a 3 year old Husky who has a hair loss pattern similar to Sparky. Unusually Bowen also has hyperadrenocorticism. He is also responding well to treatment.👏🏻

See our highly experienced team of first opinion vets for complex medical and surgical problems at the weekend! 👨🏼‍⚕️🧑🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️
Surgical consultations available at weekends for most procedures.✅

No Weekend surcharges ❌

No Extra fee for senior vet consultations❌

你可能還記得一篇關（Sparky）的post，他是一隻年長的松鼠狗 (Pomeranian )😄，出現脫毛問題。經過檢查，我們發現Sparky有腎上腺皮質功能亢進症/庫欣氏症候群
（hyperadrenocorticism），這是一種腎上腺分泌過多類固醇的疾病。

我們通常在年長的小型犬中發現這種疾病，但這次卻不同……

來認識（Bowen）🐶。Bowen脫毛的模式與Sparky相似。也患有腎上腺皮質功能亢進症/庫欣氏症候群，不同的是Bowen是一隻3歲的哈士奇( Husky)，他對治療的反應良好。👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

如果你有複雜的醫療或手術問題，我們經驗豐富的獸醫團隊在週末亦提供諮詢服務！👨🏼‍⚕️🧑🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️

週末亦提供大多數的醫療程序，以及手術諮詢。✅

絕無週末附加費❌

資深獸醫諮詢不另收取額外費用❌

🌿🐾 Understanding Pet Allergies 🐾🌿

Is your furry friend scratching or itching? It could be allergies! Here’s a quick guide to common types:

1. Environmental Allergies : The most frequent cause of skin irritation! Triggered by dust mites, pollen, and molds, symptoms often flare up in summer. 🌼

2. Contact Allergies: These affect areas that touch allergens like carpet fibers and cleaning products. Changing your cleaning routine can help! 🧼

3. *Insect Bite Allergies*: Flea bites can lead to intense itching. Ensure your cat is on flea prevention, like Frontline. 🐱💚

4. Food Allergies: Making up 10-20% of cases, these can cause stomach issues or itchy skin. Common culprits include beef, dairy, and chicken. Cutting out treats for 6-8 weeks can help identify the problem! 🍗🚫
