🐱 Around 63% of cats are overweight or obese!

At Panacea Vets, we believe two major culprits are a sedentary lifestyle and an unlimited dry-food buffet!

One simple change can make a big difference:

✅ Switch to a 100% wet-food diet or a 50/50 wet and dry combination.

✅ Say goodbye to free-feeding! Measure portions instead.

✅ Encourage daily play and movement.

And yes, even low-calorie dry food shouldn't be available 24/7!

Less buffet, more movement, healthier cats!

Is your pet coughing?

A cough can have many causes — from airway irritation and respiratory infections to heart disease, collapsing trachea, pneumonia, or other lung conditions.

The sound of the cough and when it happens can give us clues, but a persistent or recurrent cough should always be investigated rather than simply suppressed.

Depending on the case, your vet may recommend a physical examination, chest X-rays, blood tests, heart assessment, or further respiratory diagnostics.

🎥 Dr Sofia explains what coughing in pets can mean, what to look out for, and when it’s time to see your vet.

If your pet is coughing repeatedly, struggling to breathe, unusually tired or showing blue/pale gums, seek veterinary attention promptly.

Getting a video of your pet coughing and showing it to your vet during the checkup is an excellent idea as well!

This post comes after many conversations with brachycephalic dog owners who tell us:

"He/she is fine. There isn’t any respiratory issue with my dog.”

Yet we often see severely narrowed nostrils, noisy breathing, excess weight, an excessively long or thick tongue, overcrowded teeth, twisted tails, and even eyelids or skin folds rubbing against the eyes.

Let us put it straight:

Common for the breed does not mean normal.

Snoring while awake is not normal.
Struggling with exercise or heat is not normal.
Constant noisy breathing is not normal.
Having hair or eyelids rubbing against the cornea is not normal.

We have become desensitized to their suffering because we see these problems so often. But being desensitized to your dog’s suffering doesn’t make your dog suffer any less.

And when something can be corrected to improve your dog’s quality of life, fear of anesthesia alone should not automatically be the reason to refuse it.

That fear belongs to us, not to the dog.

Anesthesia has risks, and those risks should always be properly assessed and discussed with your veterinarian. But our own fear should be weighed against the discomfort the dog may experience every single day.

Have your brachycephalic dog properly assessed. Ask about their airway, eyes, weight, teeth and skin folds — and ask what can be improved.

Don’t let “normal for the breed” — or our own fear — stand in the way of making their life better.

Reach out to Panacea Vets for an honest conversation about your dog.

Does your dog belong to the itchy club?

Frenchies, Bulldogs, Westies, Goldens, Labradors, Staffies, Boxers,and several other breeds are particularly prone to skin allergies.

Paw licking, recurrent ear infections, red skin, scratching, and repeated skin infections aren't random. They can all be signs of underlying allergic disease.

Treat the flare — but investigate the cause.

Your pet’s water bowl may look clean… but have you checked the inside lately? 💦🐾

That slippery layer is biofilm— bacteria and other microorganisms can build up on the surface of the bowl.

Simply topping up the water or giving the bowl a quick rinse isn’t enough. Empty it, scrub it thoroughly with soap and hot water, rinse it thoroughly, and refill it with fresh water every day.

Fresh water deserves a fresh bowl. 💧❤️

👁️ Glaucoma in pets — what is it and what do we do about it?

Listen to Dr Sofia, who has a special interest in ophthalmology, explain what glaucoma actually is, what happens inside the eye and what needs to be done when we suspect it.

Some dogs are genetically more predisposed, including **Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Beagles, Chow Chows, Shar Peis and Siberian Huskies**, although glaucoma can affect any dog — and cats too.

Glaucoma can be extremely painful and can threaten vision very quickly, so a red, cloudy or painful eye should never be ignored.

When it comes to eyes, acting fast can make all the difference.

Two months ago, O’Malley had his senior screening. Last week, he came to us blind.

The reason? Severe high blood pressure.

Hypertension in senior cats can be completely silent until it suddenly causes serious damage — including retinal detachment and vision loss.

The tricky part is getting an accurate blood pressure reading. Even a cat who looks perfectly calm in the clinic can experience stress-related hypertension, giving us a falsely elevated reading.

That’s why we may recommend repeating the measurement, arranging a house-call BP check, or using pre-visit anxiety medication to help us obtain the most reliable result possible.

O’Malley’s story is our reminder:

Senior cat? Check the blood pressure. Don’t wait for symptoms. ❤️‍👁️

Very proud moment for our Panacea team ❤️

A huge congratulations to Dr Sarah, who has successfully completed her Postgraduate Certificate in Cardiology from IFEVET! 🎓🫀

Apart from being extremely stylish and ridiculously photogenic 😜, Sarah is a truly compassionate vet, a wonderful colleague, and someone we feel very lucky to have on our team. And now officially a certificate holder too!

Through our collaboration with VVS (Virtual Veterinary Specialists), our cardiac cases can be reviewed and reported on by board-certified cardiologists, providing an extra level of expertise and reassurance for our heart patients.

If your pet has a heart murmur, unusual heart sounds, coughing, reduced stamina, breathing changes, or simply needs a cardiac check before an anaesthetic or procedure, book a cardiac consultation and heart scan with Dr Sarah at Panacea Vets.

📞 **Call or WhatsApp Panacea Vets to book your appointment with Dr Sarah.**
Don’t wait for heart disease to become symptomatic — sometimes the first clue is something we pick up during a routine examination. ❤️🫀

(And yes, you can book with Dr Nikita too… but he will get his own dedicated post soon 😜)

Well done Dr Sarah — we are very, very proud of you! ❤️
