𝗥𝗼𝘅𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗴’𝘀 𝗦𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘆 𝗨𝗧𝗜! 🩺

Roxy popped in for her Senior Pet Wellness check in May, looking pretty perky for her age! But thanks to a routine urine test, we spotted something she hadn’t told us about — a 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 hiding behind that sweet pug face.

After a course of treatment, Roxy’s now feeling 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧— proof that early screening really makes a difference! 💪💕

🐾 Winter chill got your pup feeling stiff? Just like us, our furry friends can feel the aches and pains more in the cold – especially if they have osteoarthritis.

Look out for these signs:
🦴 Limping or stiffness
🐶 Less eager to walk, play or climb stairs
😞 Changes in mood or behaviour
🐕 Lagging behind on walks

Early intervention makes a world of difference! If you spot any of these, book a wellness check with us. Let’s keep those tails wagging all winter long! ❄️💙

𝐉𝐢𝐧𝐱, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 🐱

When 17-year-old Jinx came in with a swollen front leg, we started with X-rays — nothing obvious. But tests revealed a nasty infection full of pus and bacteria. Antibiotics helped at first, but the swelling returned… and this time, the joint had 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. 😞

We worried — could it actually be cancer? It was a tough call. But Jinx still had a sparkle in her eye and a purr in her heart. Euthanasia? Not yet.

Surgical repair wasn't a safe option with the infection, so we made the bold choice: 𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. And guess what? Less than a week later, Jinx was thriving — happy, mobile, and proving age is just a number. 💪🐾
