Feline arthritis is common in cats of all ages, breeds and sizes. Signs can go unnoticed until there is significant pain present and quality of life is severely affected. There are many different treatment options available that can help bring you back your happy feline companion. Call us today to find out more about the latest options available for your cat.

Is your older cat less keen to play or struggling with stairs and clearing jumps? Or have you noticed that they seem to be slowing down in general? It is important that we don’t dismiss these signs as simply old age. Age itself is not a disease and we should always check out any signs of change in your cats as they could signal a medical problem such as arthritis. Call us today to book an appointment so we can give your cat a health MOT.

Did you know our feline friends can get arthritis as they get older, just like us humans? They don’t always show the signs the same way as we do though. Get in touch with us to discuss the signs of arthritis in cats and see if we can help your cat live a more comfortable life! #felinearthritis

Feline arthritis impacts greatly upon quality of life. Pain relief is key to the successful management of arthritis. Talk to us today to discuss how we can help your cat with the latest treatment option available. #felinearthritis

Here’s a quick reminder about preventative measures you can take to help avoid summer Mastitis! #summermastitis

During summer, you’ll probably hear the word mastitis a lot! Here are some facts about Mastitis, and of course, if you’re worried about your herd give us a call and we’ll be happy to help! #summermastitis

Willow had a visit with our vet Cliodhna for her pregnancy ultrasound scan. You can see the puppy heart beating being pointed out in the video. The ultrasound scan is non-painful and non-invasive procedure. It is very useful for diagnosing pregnancy. However, it does have limitations which means it can help diagnose a pregnancy but not how many puppies Willow is having. . . . #pregnancyscan #ultrasound #puppies #puppy #goldenretriever #vetmed #veterinary #animalhospital #veterinarian #vet #vetvisit
