How can you help prevent your pet from licking a surgical wound?

Dependent on where the wound is on the body the options include pet t-shirts and buster collars.

It is very important to stop your pet licking a surgical wound to help reduce the risk of infections and wound breakdowns from occurring.

We keep both at the practice to help suit your pets needs!

Little Teddy 🧸

Teddy came to see us recently for a dental after his owner noticed some tartar buildup. By acting quickly, Teddy only needed a scale and polish, with the removal of one baby tooth he hadn’t lost!

Teddy was very much like a teddy bear during his stay enjoying lots of cuddles and attention 🥰

Those early years bring a lot of change.

HealthCheck360 for Young Pets gives an experienced veterinary nurse time to look at how your puppy or kitten is growing and developing, while supporting you with the everyday care that helps them get off to a healthy start.

Their check can cover growth, weight and nutrition, vaccinations, behaviour and socialisation, alongside a full physical examination.

You can also get practical coaching on things like teeth brushing, ear cleaning, and nail clipping.

For puppies up to 2 years old and kittens up to 1 year.

Hi Toby 🥰

Toby is an older boy who came to visit us after his owner noticed one of his testicles was enlarged and firm.

Toby has been castrated to avoid this testicle becoming painful, with it going to the lab for further testing to check what the cause of the change is.

Toby was a little star during his stay with us - he enjoyed all the home comforts of being wrapped in blankets whilst he recovered to ensure he stayed toasty warm!

We wish Toby a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Hi Lexi!

Lexi recently came in for a dental where her teeth were carefully scaled and polished under general anaesthetic.

Lexi can be seen here recovering from her anaesthetic - she decided that her food must be scattered all over her kennel 🙈

Signs of dental disease include gingivitis (redness of the gums), halitosis (bad breath), tartar, wobbly teeth, broken teeth and infection.

If you think your pet has dental disease please ask our vets and nurses at your next appointment :)
