Meet Penny 🐕
Penny was recently seen at Vet in the City for an acute change in her resting respiratory rate and sudden disinterest in food. Investigations carried out in practice included blood tests which revealed a marked eosinophilia & chest x-rays also revealed characteristic lung changes, leading to suspicions which were then confirmed by performing a lungworm snap test. Penny was quickly started on treatment and has made a huge improvement! Luckily Penny’s condition was caught early so she will go on to make a full recovery ❤️

Lungworm is contracted through both direct and indirect contact with wildlife such as slugs, snails and foxes or other infected animals. Lungworm can spread rapidly through pet communities. Symptoms of lungworm include coughing, fatigue, vomiting, weight loss, a lack of interest in food and increased respiratory rate. If you notice these symptoms, contact us immediately for treatment.

Get your lungworm prevention treatment on a monthly basis by signing up to any of our Pet Health Care Plans at the practice or via our website: https://www.vetinthecity.com/pet-health-plans

The Common Misconceptions of an RVN

💙 Think veterinary nurses just assist the vets? Think again!

In this snippet from our interview, RVN Maireád explains that a day in the life of an RVN is so much more than just assisting:

“In human nursing, you might have a nurse doing anaesthesia and a phlebotomist taking bloods—but in veterinary care, an RVN does all of these roles in a single day.”

From monitoring anaesthesia, to taking blood samples, running nurse clinics, and supporting surgeries, our RVNs are a vital aspect to our clinic, ensuring every pet receives calm, expert, and compassionate care. 🐾

🐱 Tips to Prepare Your Cat for a Stress-Free Vet Visit 🐾

Visiting the vet can be a stressful experience for cats, but a little preparation can make all the difference!

At Vet in the City, we’re passionate about keeping our feline patients calm, comfortable, and safe.

Here’s how you can help your cat before their appointment:
1️⃣ Introduce the carrier early – Take the cat carrier out the night before the appointment and leave it in a room where your cat feels comfortable. Let them explore it freely so it becomes a familiar space.
2️⃣ Create a safe, hidden space – Some cats find the journey stressful. Cover the carrier with a blanket so your cat feels secure. Top tip: Calming pheromones are available to help reduce anxiety.
3️⃣ Check the carrier – Make sure it’s secure. We don’t want any escape artists!
4️⃣ Enjoy a calm waiting area – Our separate cat waiting room ensures your cat doesn’t have to be near any dogs.
5️⃣ Talk gently – Your voice is reassuring. Speaking softly to your cat can help them feel safe and supported.

At Vet in the City, our Vets & RVNs always approach every patient calmly, moving at the pace your pet needs. Our goal is a positive, stress-free experience every time they visit. 💙

You'll see our RVNs, Nancy & Eleanor, giving some of our feline patients lots of love during their visit. Plus a very happy kitten enjoying our cat-friendly kennels 🐱

🐾 Tip: If your cat is particularly anxious, let us know when booking so we can tailor their visit for extra comfort.

A Day in a Life of an RVN at Vet in the City

Behind every Vet is an incredible Registered Veterinary Nurse making sure your pet receives the very best care 🐾

At Vet in the City, our Registered Veterinary Nurses play a vital role to the care we provide to our clients and patients. From monitoring pets recovering in hospital and assisting in surgery, to running nurse clinics and offering advice to owners, they make sure every patient is safe, comfortable and cared for.

In our latest blog and interview, RVN Maireád shares what a typical day looks like and what she loves most about the role. As she says:

“The most difficult part of the job is not being able to take my patients home.”

Our fantastic nursing team – Nancy (Head RVN), Eleanor and Maireád – work tirelessly behind the scenes to support every pet and client that walks through our doors.

🐾 Meet beautiful, brown-eyed Luna 🐱

Luna visited us last month for her second dose of her primary vaccination. While our RVN chatted with Luna’s owners, we let her explore the consult room so she could settle in and feel comfortable.

As a cat-friendly clinic, we do everything we can to keep our feline patients calm and relaxed during their visits. Luna was so at ease that when our RVN reached for the syringe, she thought a treat was coming instead! 😹

Her owners absolutely adore her and say she’s more like a dog than a cat!

And those eyes! 👀
Luna’s beautiful brown eyes are incredibly rare in cats, making her even more special.

Keeping your pet up-to-date with vaccinations and parasite control is one of the best ways to protect their health.
