BEAUTIFUL BUDDIES

Maine C***s Boo and Bluebell came in together to see us, Bluebell as Boo’s support friend for Boo’s post op check. The visit was a great opportunity for carrying out some socialisation with younger Bluebell as well as checking how Boo was getting on. The pair loved the treats and, as you can see, Bluebell was particularly taken with the LickiMat! Good news all round!

HELP CATS COPE ON FIREWORKS NIGHT

With 5th November just a week away, we’re rapidly approaching fireworks season. As creatures of habit, unexpected bright flashes and bangs can be fear-inducing for cats. Here are a few tips for things you can do to help reduce feline anxiety on the day.

Keeping cats indoors after dark means they won’t be directly exposed to the light and noise typically surrounding fireworks displays. Close curtains and put on the radio or TV to help to muffle what’s going on outdoors. Make sure cat flaps and windows are secured and that your feline friend has access to fresh litter trays, food and water.

Avoid confining your cat to a single room which can increase stress. Cats like to know they can get to a safe space. This could be a bed fashioned out of a cardboard box filled with cosy blankets, their own bed, or even under the duvet of yours! If they choose to hide, allow them to do so. They will come out when they feel they are ready. Equally, if they come to you for fuss and cuddles, it’s fine to give them attention. Let your cat be your guide as to what they feel they need. Whatever their behaviour, staying calm and behaving normally will help your cat to feel more secure.

Ask us about synthetic pheromone diffusers which can cats feel calmer in new and stressful situations.

We recommend that feline friends are microchipped incase they stray at any time of the year. Remember to check microchip details are up to date for the best chance of a quick reunion should your cat manage to slip outside.

Please do get in touch with our team on 01922 411755 for any further advice or support.

SEE A VET FROM 8AM!

Our interconnecting sister practice, 387 Veterinary Centre, is now trialling 8am starts for vet appointments on selected weekdays to increase appointment flexibility for pet owners. Whilst The West Midlands Cat Clinic opens for vet consults at 8.30am on Mondays and Wednesdays, there’s now 8am availability at 387 Vets on selected days too!

As a Gold Cat Friendly Clinic with International Cat Care in its own right, we have a cat friendly bay in our 387 Vets waiting room and cat carrier covers sprayed with synthetic pheromones to minimise feline stress as much as we can. The waiting room may not be as quiet as The West Midlands Cat Clinic, but you’ll see the same excellent team should you visit us here.

As with all our appointments, our new 8am vet consults are still by appointment only, so please do ring ahead on 01922 411755 to book. We look forward to seeing how uptake goes!

SUNFLOWER SUCCESS!

Earlier in the year, we invited all of the 387 Vets and West Midlands Cat Clinic team to take part in our annual sunflower growing competition to help provide sustenance for pollinators and other wildlife this summer. People took home the same sunflower seed variety to see if they could be crowned our champion growers this year. The results are now out!

Big congratulations to our vet Sam for producing the tallest sunflower at 3.06m, and to our Lead Receptionist Angie who grew the biggest flower at 30cm in diameter. Both have received garden centre vouchers, and all other competition entrants were given a packet of pollinator-friendly flower seeds to help attract the bees and the butterflies back again next summer!

MR SMUDGINS BACK ON TIP TOP FORM

A big shout out to gorgeous Mr Smudgins who is looking very content in this pic! The 12 year old came in for a check up with us earlier in the year as he hadn’t been feeling himself, had a dull coat and had developed a limp. Tests showed that he was suffering from diabetes.

Diabetes is more common in aging pets. Typical signs include excessive drinking, an increase in urination with potential puddles indoors, weight loss despite an increase in appetite and becoming lethargic and easily tired. Interestingly, cats can also develop a symptom called diabetic neuropathy, where their hind legs can appear weak when walking – one of Mr Smudgin’s symptoms. A lacklustre coat can also be an indicator of diabetes as a result of nutritional deficiencies caused by the disease and increased urination.

Mr Smudgins was given a new medication which is an alternative to insulin injections – a liquid medication that can be added to food and works by stopping the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream, lowering blood sugar levels. Excess sugar is instead passed out of the body through the patient’s urine.

After initially working to establish the right treatment dose in response to his physical symptoms, four months down the line Mr Smudgins is doing brilliantly well. He’s eating and drinking normally, has great mobility and is a happy chap! And looks like a model!

TOP CAT CARE

British short hair Olive has been in to stay with us for a dental. As part of our pre-admission process, we ask lots of questions to ensure that we make every patient's stay as comfortable and stress-free as we can. This includes where patients like to be petted. Cats especially can be quite particular and one cat's preferences doesn't necessarily reflect another's so we like to check. We absolutely loved this drawing that Olive's mum provided. We can confirm that Olive will lick the air if she is fussed above her left leg!

As Olive is a brachycephalic breed, mum was especially keen for her to undergo her procedure with a practice that has a vet experienced in more complex dental cases. Selenia, our vet who holds a postgraduate certificate in small animal dentistry, and has extensive experience working alongside a dental referral vet as well as supporting students on the same dentistry postgraduate certificate she achieved as wet lab supervisor, was looking after Olive. So, with her cuddles chart, our fab nursing team and Selenia carrying out her procedure, gorgeous Olive was in great hands!

'FEELINE' FINE!

Pumpkin and Pearl have been in to see us this morning for their second vaccinations and had a chilled time pottering around the consult room and indulging in Dreamies. We’re really keen on minimising feline stress and in creating as positive an experience as we can for cats visiting The West Midlands Cat Clinic. Positive association with new experiences as inquisitive kittens helps make for happier vet visits in adult life. These three month old siblings definitely look as though they made themselves at home in the consult room!

HAPPY AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY!

We hope you and your feline friends are having a relaxing bank holiday weekend!

387 Veterinary Centre & The West Midlands Cat Clinic will be closed this bank holiday Monday (31st August). If you have any queries about your cat at this time, don’t forget that all registered clients have complimentary access to VidiVet, a vet triaging service available 24/7. Check communications from our practice for your VidiVet access link if you’re not already set up. It’s a brilliant resource for pet peace of mind and can be a great time and money saver – ask a question at any time of day or night and you’ll receive a prompt video reply from a vet explaining what your next steps should be, whether you need an appointment and how urgent it is.

If you do have a pet emergency while we are closed, please continue to call us on 01922 411755 and follow the answer machine instructions for immediate access to our out of hours provider.

Wishing you and your feline friends a happy and healthy long weekend!

SUPERSTAR

Poor Jeffrey has been on a roller coaster health journey over the last few months. Jeffrey’s weight had been dropping and in May and he was diagnosed with a challenging underlying health condition. He had a feeding tube inserted to help with nutrition and to try and stabilise his weight. His weight has been a bit erratic while he’s been on treatment, but this week, we were super excited at Jeffrey’s visit. He’s gained another 200g, has had his feeding tube removed and is a brilliant 6.2kg in weight and loving life.
