Sommerville Veterinary Centre

Welcome to the Sommerville Veterinary Centre where we have been putting “pets first” since 1993. Why does this make our practice unique?

Well, there are two things we know for sure; pet owners love their pets and pets can’t talk (well not in English anyway!). So every member of our staff understands the importance of being the voice of your pet. Our care focussed approach is backed by the latest veterinary knowledge, diagnostics and medicine and we guarantee to tell you honestly and in straight forward language what your pet would

want you to know. Only then are you able to make the very best healthcare choices for your very best friend. If you are not yet one of our many “pets first” clients then come and experience what we do best at the Sommerville Vet Centre – better yet, let your pet experience it! Our vet hospital is purpose built with dedicated surgery, imaging, laboratory, hospital and dental facilities plus we have a great cattery, retail area and off street parking. Open 6 days and late nights all week - we are when your pet needs to be heard.

In January we had Daisy, a five year old guinea pig who is owned by one of our nurses. She underwent an emergency urethrotomy last week when a stone was discovered lodged in her urethra. Dr. Jesse performed the successful operation alongside nurse Kaycia and the stone was successfully removed. Daisy is recovering well and enjoying extra snuggles and treats!

Guinea pigs are prone to bladder stones and female guinea pigs can even develop stones in the urethra itself. Daisy will now be on a low calcium diet to help prevent stones from developing in the future. See the link below for calcium amounts in common guinea pig foods and make sure you aren't feeding too many calcium rich foods as part of your guinea pig’s fruit and veg diet portion.

We recommend that all our small mammal friends be seen yearly for health checks and please phone if your pet is experiencing any lack of eating, diarrhea, lethargy, no or little production of urine/feces or you have any other concerns. All rabbits, especially those with access to the outdoors, should also be vaccinated yearly.

As for Daisy, she is fully recovered and living her best life with her sister Pepper.

A Healthy Beginning Starts With Science

Is Your Cat Getting Older?

Cats are living much longer nowadays, thanks to better nutrition, veterinary, and everyday care. A cat is considered mature from 7-10 years, senior from 11-14 years and super senior at 15 years and over. In present times many cats may reach the senior and even super senior stage without showing any obvious signs of aging. Luckily there are some 'tell tail' signs you can look for in your feline friend to get a better idea of how they are feeling in their mind and body. Like all cats, senior cats require specifically tailored nutrition to gently support their aging bodies and give them the energy they need to live life to the fullest. Hill’s Pet Nutrition showcase a range of both wet and dry foods for all life stages in various flavours to suit every cat.
