Paws N' Claws Veterinary Surgery

Hamster ultrasound 🐹🏥 Dr Esther gently conducts an imaging scan for our little hammie patient, with our clinic's in-house ultrasound machine. Why is ultrasonography helpful? This painless, non-invasive diagnostic tool helps veterinarians get a detailed view of the patient’s internal organs and structures, and detect potential health issues. It is often used together with other diagnostic tools such as blood tests to provide a full picture of the pet’s health. A variety of conditions can be detected via ultrasonography, including: 🔎 Reproductive health: pregnancy, ovarian cysts, or infections like pyometra 🔎 Abdominal issues: digestive blockages, liver disease, and fluid buildup 🔎 Urinary problems: bladder stones, cysts, or kidney disease 🔎 Tumours, abscesses, lesions Both our vet clinics provide accurate imaging scans, including X-ray and ultrasound: www.pawsnclawsvet.sg/xray-ultrasound 📲 WhatsApp us at 8809 0787 (Yishun) or 8891 4417 (Upper Thomson) for queries or bookings. 📍 Yishun: 285 Yishun Avenue 6, unit 01-06, Singapore 760285. 📍 Upper Thomson: 6 Sin Ming Road, Sin Ming Plaza, unit 01-04, Singapore 575585. #vetmed #hamsters #petcare

🧑‍🍳 Thinking about preparing homemade meals for your dog? 🐕 In this week's "Ask A Vet" video, Dr Esther explores some pros and cons of homemade food versus traditional commercial options.

Rabbit - blocked tear duct

🐰 Does your bunny have watery eyes? Any excessive tearing, damp fur around their eyes, or discharge? 👁️ A common reason is a blocked tear duct — here, at our Yishun clinic, Dr Esther is preparing to flush the tear duct gently to remove the blockage. Blocked tear ducts (nasolacrimal duct obstruction) prevent tears from draining into the nose, causing them to overflow onto the face. Rabbits are often susceptible to this condition as their tear ducts are long, thin, and prone to blockage. To address this issue, besides flushing the tear duct, it may also be necessary to conduct thorough eye and dental exams to identify the underlying cause. 🦷 Dental issues are a potential cause, as the tear ducts in rabbits sit very close to the teeth — abnormalities around certain molar roots can press on the tear duct and cause narrowing or complete obstruction. 💊 If infection or swelling is present, antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatments may also be required. Our furkids' eye health is vital to their overall well-being. If you notice signs of tearing or discomfort, consult your veterinarian promptly. 📲 WhatsApp us at 8809 0787 (Yishun) or 8891 4417 (Upper Thomson) for queries or bookings. 📍 Yishun: 285 Yishun Avenue 6, unit 01-06, Singapore 760285. 📍 Upper Thomson: 6 Sin Ming Road, Sin Ming Plaza, unit 01-04, Singapore 575585. #rabbitcare #petcare #eyehealth #veterinarycare #vetmed #rabbitsoftheworld

Playtime at the vet's! 😍🧸 Many of our patients, like these two mischievous kittens, feel at ease and happy at our clinic, thanks to our Fear-Free approach to veterinary care. When we prevent and reduce the pet's fear, anxiety, and stress, that can help make the vet visit more likely to be successful and ensure a positive experience for all. 🌟 We love playing with our patients (if they are physically well and up for it!) and have plenty of treats on hand to help them feel more relaxed. Our Yishun clinic also has a cat tree in the consultation room for our feline patients to climb to their heart's content. The many other Fear-Free methods we apply include using towels and blankets, touch gradient, soothing music, and more. 📲 WhatsApp us at 8809 0787 (Yishun) or 8891 4417 (Upper Thomson) for queries or bookings.

We treat all patients like our own pets! 💖🦜 Dr Esther chats and sings to Engo here, a 20-year-old African Grey parrot who came in due to feather plucking. Engo is quite a character. 🕺😂 At Paws N' Claws Vet, we shower our patients with love and compassion, take care of them with utmost dedication, and you can bet we find all their unique, funny personalities endearing! 😍 Every furry, feathered, or scaly friend is treated like family. In line with our #FearFree philosophy, we aim to make their experiences at our clinic as positive as possible, because visiting the vet does not have to be stressful or scary. :-) #africangrey #parrotlover #petbirds #vetmed #petcare #vetclinic #veterinarian #vetnurselife
