🦷 A healthier smile for Willow 💙
Meet Willow 🐶 a lovely girl who came to Pawvet for a professional dental cleaning.

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs, and plaque and tartar can build up even when the teeth look relatively healthy at first glance. Over time, this can lead to gum inflammation, bad breath, pain and more advanced periodontal disease.
During a professional dental procedure, the teeth are carefully cleaned above and below the gumline, allowing us to remove accumulated tartar and assess the health of the gums and individual teeth.
🦷 Regular dental care matters.
Home brushing is an important part of prevention, but professional dental examinations and cleaning are sometimes needed to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
And after all that dental care… Willow was ready to head home with her beautiful smile! 🐶✨

When an ear problem is more than just an ear infection 🐱

Meet Zeke.
During an otoscopic examination, an ear polyp was identified deep within the ear ca**l.
Ear polyps are benign growths that can develop in the ear ca**l and may cause inflammation, discharge, recurrent ear infections, head shaking or discomfort.
For Zeke, the polyp was carefully removed and the ear ca**l was examined again using an otoscope.
🔎 Why is this important?
Because recurring ear problems are not always caused by infection alone. A detailed examination of the ear ca**l can help identify the underlying cause and guide the right treatment.
Zeke is now on his way to a much more comfortable ear. 💙

Today at PawVet, it’s all about the heart. 🫀
We’re performing a Cardio VVScan while working together with a specialist cardiologist online.

Our team carries out the ultrasound here in the clinic, while the cardiologist can watch the scan live from their own screen, allowing us to collaborate during the examination.
It’s a great example of how modern veterinary medicine allows us to combine hands-on care at PawVet with specialist knowledge from wherever it’s needed.
One patient. One scan. A whole team working together.

Sometimes, an ear infection is more than just an ear infection. 🐾
🦻 First, the ear:
The source of the infection was identified and removed, allowing us to thoroughly clean the ear ca**l.
🔬 Then, the growth:
A small growth was surgically removed using electrocautery, helping to control bleeding.
✨ Finally, the area was carefully closed with a precise suture.
Finding the cause is key to effective treatment.

🚨 More than just “full a**l glands”…
This Cavalier came to us with blocked a**l glands, but unfortunately one had already developed into a painful a**l gland abscess.

Signs to watch for:
🐾 Scooting or dragging the bottom
🐾 Excessive licking around the back end
🐾 Swelling, redness or pain near the anus
🐾 A foul smell or discharge

If left untreated, blocked a**l glands can become infected and eventually rupture, requiring much more extensive treatment.
Early treatment is quicker, less painful, and much more comfortable for your dog. 💙
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t wait—our team is here to help.

Meet one of our patients! 🐾😺

He’s one of your furry friends who has been recently diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).

This disease is caused by a mutated form of Feline Coronavirus 🦠

It can make your cat anaemic, thin and feverish. We checked his bloods as these clinical signs can be quite non-specific and later diagnosed FIP.

We classically treat with an antiviral course for 12 weeks.

We are pleased to say he will be returning home in a few days after being nursed and cared for by our wonderful team! 🫶🏼

🐾 **Meet Maggie – and the corn on the cob that caused BIG trouble! 🌽**

Lovely Maggie came to us after she had been **vomiting for several days and had stopped wanting to eat**. Her family knew something wasn’t right and brought her in to see us.

After examining Maggie and taking X-rays, we became concerned that she had a **foreign body obstructing her intestines**.

Maggie was taken to surgery, where we discovered the culprit… **a piece of corn on the cob! 🌽**

Unfortunately, the corn had become firmly lodged in her small intestine and had caused significant damage. Simply removing it wasn’t enough, so our surgical team performed an **enterectomy**, removing the damaged section of intestine and carefully joining the healthy ends back together.

❤️ Maggie recovered from her major surgery under the close supervision of our Pawvet team.

⚠️ **A little reminder for dog owners:**
Corn itself isn’t necessarily the problem — **the cob is**. Dogs cannot digest corn cobs, and pieces can become lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing a potentially life-threatening obstruction.

If your dog develops **persistent vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort or lethargy**, particularly if they may have swallowed something they shouldn’t have, please seek veterinary attention promptly.

Sometimes the smallest stolen snack can lead to very big surgery! 🐶🌽

🦠 Giardia – one of the most common causes of diarrhoea in dogs and cats.
Giardia is a microscopic parasite that lives in the small intestine and can cause digestive problems in both dogs and cats.
Common signs include:
🐾 Diarrhoea (which may come and go)
🐾 Soft or mucus-covered stools
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Weight loss
🐾 Poor growth in puppies and kittens
Some pets may carry Giardia without showing any signs, but they can still spread the parasite to other animals through contaminated faeces, water or the environment.
🔬 A simple in-house faecal test allows us to detect Giardia quickly, so treatment can begin as soon as possible.
Good hygiene and prompt diagnosis are key to preventing reinfection and protecting other pets in the household.
If your dog or cat has persistent digestive issues, it’s worth checking whether Giardia could be the cause.
