High-rise syndrome is a term often used to describe the injuries sustained by cats falling from buildings higher than two storeys (7–9 metres). 🏢

Cats have a natural inclination to perch on high places and enjoy spending time watching the outside world from windows or balconies.

Even though it’s often said that our feline friends have nine lives and always land elegantly on their feet, high-rise falls commonly result in severe injuries that need emergency treatment, such as broken bones, facial and chest trauma, and internal bleeding. Too often, these injuries can be fatal if not treated right away! 🚑

If you have a cat, please keep your windows closed or consider getting a safety net! Let’s keep them safe and away from the emergency room, so don’t forget to share this post to make other cat owners aware!

As the weather gets colder, cats often try to find dry, sheltered hiding spots. For this reason, it is very common for cats to crawl into car engines and wheel wells, and they can easily get injured if they're still in there when the car is started!

Please remember to:

🐈 Bang loudly on the bonnet and honk the horn

🐈 Take a quick look under the car and check over the tyres

🐈 If you start your car and hear any unusual noise, immediately turn it off!

These simple steps will give cats a chance to escape and avoid unnecessary accidents!

We understand the thought of surgery might feel a bit daunting, but spaying and neutering isn’t just about avoiding surprise litters - it’s also about giving your pet a chance to lead a healthier life.

Here are our top reasons to recommend spaying and neutering:

👉 Neutered males are less likely to roam and have no risk of developing testicular tumours.

👉 Spayed females have a reduced risk of developing certain tumours and serious health conditions, such as womb infection (pyometra).

If you have questions or concerns, give us a call. We’re always happy to discuss what’s best for you and your pet. 🩺🐾

Have you heard of the term antibiotic resistance? This means that the more we use antibiotics, the more resistant the bacteria become and, therefore, the less effective these are. This is why it’s so important to use this type of medication responsibly. Here are 5 things you need to know:

1) Antibiotics are only effective to treat bacterial infections, and not viral ones.

2) You should only use them on your pets if prescribed by a vet.

3) It’s really important to follow the vet’s instructions on how to administer them, for instance, every 24 hours or every 12 hours.

4) If you’re told by your vet to give them for 7 days, you need to follow this to the letter, even if your pet seems a lot better on day 4.

5) They can have side effects, such as gastrointestinal problems, but you can always get in touch with us if your pet has an adverse reaction to them!

Did you know that a vet professional’s education doesn’t end with university? 🎓

For both our vet surgeons and our registered vet nurses, learning is a continuous process that happens every day at our practice, but we also invest in further education, such as courses and congresses, to ensure we’re up to date and giving your pets the very best health care. 🩺

Getting a cancer diagnosis for your furry friend is never an easy moment in a pet owner’s life. But rest assured, we’re here for you during this difficult time.

Although cancer is still a scary word, veterinary medicine has evolved tremendously over the last few years, and we’re able to provide treatments for many kinds of cancer, which can include:

👉 Surgery

👉 Chemotherapy

👉 Radiotherapy

Apart from these, our priority will always be to guarantee your pet’s well-being, so medications to address pain or possible side effects from chemo or radiotherapy might also be prescribed.

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask us any questions or talk about concerns you might have about your pet’s diagnosis or treatment plan. We’re always here to help you and your pet get through this in the best way possible!

Although brachycephalic pets are very popular (and very cute!), they often suffer from respiratory issues due to their small nostrils, short noses, and narrow airways.

Even though some degree of these problems will likely always be present, there are things we can do to help, which usually involve surgical intervention. There are a number of conditions under the umbrella of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, such as narrow nostrils and elongated soft palate, so our recommendations will depend on your pet's specific problem(s). Don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you spot any of these signs, as delayed treatment can result in further complications and a decreased quality of life for your pet.
