HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYONE ๐
To start off the festive season we have a special POST of the week starring our very own Dr Tim!! ๐คฉ
Tim was thrilled to be asked by the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust to film the below video about Greyhound diet & general health.
Tim has many years experience helping Greyhounds throughout his career and was delighted to work on this project! ๐พ
A big shoutout to the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust for all of their amazing work ๐ฅฐ
๐ป๐ป๐ป Introducing Olli as our Pet of the Week!! ๐ป๐ป๐ป
They say you can't choose your family... unless you're a cat ๐
Miss Olli decided her new family by hiding under their car to be discovered and adopted into the best forever home ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
She's a very curious kitten, too busy to sit still for photos but will happily explore the consult room with Dr. Liz and we're sure she went straight home to start playing with her Great Dane sister โบ๏ธ
She was very brave for her first vaccination and we can't wait to see what a beautiful cat she grows into!
Introducing ๐Rolo๐ our Pet of the Week
The advertisement is true, we would never give away this Rolo ๐ฅฐ๐คฃ
A beautiful mix of Springer and Husky Rolo was with us with his litter for his 1st vaccination and back today with his new owner for his 2nd. Rolo is such a busy boy, he doesn't have time to sit for photos, he has to sniff and explore and say hello to everyone!
After a busy week, we needed this dose of cuteness and happiness on a Friday afternoon so thank you Rolo and your lovely mum too!
Look at these puppy dog eyes ๐ฅบCreed is our Pet of the Week!
Creed the Boxer came to us with a torn dew claw and had to have a little sedation to have it removed. He was such a brave boy๐ช but even the bravest of boys need a good cuddle to help the recovery ๐ฅฐ
Thanks for being an extra big dollop of cuteness Creed!
๐๐ฝClive is our Pet of the Week๐
Clive came into us for a dental scale and polish and whilst under general anesthetic we spotted that he needed a tooth surgically extracted.
Quite rightly, pets aren't too keen about sitting still and opening wide to let us examine their teeth, so after a good look we found Clive had an Feline Oral Resorptive Lesion around the extracted tooth, meaning that the cells continue to resorb tooth structure until the entire tooth is lost, we were able to remove the tooth and save Clive from the painful slow process of the tooth being broken down.
As you can see Clive felt very comfortable after his procedure, and was loving his TLC from Dr Liz ๐
These Lesions are quite common and it has been reported that more than half of cats over 6 years of age have at least one.
Hopefully his Pet of the Week honour will make Clive so happy, that he really shows off that Hollywood smile ๐
