This  is Pepper, a 1 0 year old cat who is originally from Quebec, Canada. 

He came to the Sutton Courtenay Cat Clinic for his 6 month check up.

Meet Tiggy

Meet Tiggy. 

She was seen at the Larkmead Benson Cat Clinic because she had bad diarrhoea and was losing weight. A blood test helped us to diagnose an over active thyroid gland. 

Tiggy was started on tablets to get her thyroid levels back to normal. She then came into our Cholsey surgery to have an operation to remove the affected thyroid gland. 

This is her a month after the operation checking out her weight gain on the scales! She is doing really well and the diarrhoea has cleared up.

20 year old Bill regularly visits the Larkmead cat clinic at Benson

This is Bill. He is nearly 20 years old (95 in human years). He was diagnosed with kidney problems in 2010 and since then has been on treatments to support his kidneys. He also has high blood pressure and has a daily pill to bring his blood pressure down. He comes to the Benson cat clinic once a month for a check over and a pep up injection. He doesn't love coming to the vets but he prefers the cat clinic because it is quieter and vet Susie knows him very well now. 

A Thank You to Sarah from David for looking after Eva

Dear Larkmead

A week ago today, Thursday 29th May, I brought Eva into your cat Sutton Courtney surgery at short notice.  Having owned our cat for four years without illness, I was very worried when she became unresponsive with sickness. 

 After treatment Eva was somewhat “happy” that evening and ate two or three meals!  She did slow down again over the weekend and it took until Tuesday or Wednesday, but we would now say has fully recovered to her usual mischievous self. 

My sincere thanks to Sarah for help and skills last week. 

Kind regards,

David.

Mister Relaxing at Sutton Courtney

This is Mister relaxing at the Sutton Courtenay cat clinic.  He came to visit the cat clinic suffering from weight loss, hyperactivity and lameness. Vet Sarah checked Mister over and recommended a blood test to see if he is suffering from hyperthyroidism. Mister was very calm and was really good for his blood sample.  Mister was also diagnosed with arthritis in his hips and front legs.  He was started on a pain killing medication to help him get around more easily.   It is not uncommon for older cats to develop arthritis, this can be a very painful condition and as cats are not often lame with arthritis it can be overlooked.

Mister has now been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He has started treatment.  We'll keep you up to date with his progress.
