Trying to help Tess get her eyesight back

This is Tess. She is a 16 year,7 month  old moggy who for the last few days has been bumping into things. 

As you can see she had very dilated eyes. 





The vet examined her and found that she was blind. This was caused by high blood pressure. We measured tess' blood pressure and it was 210mmhg (normal is under 140mmhg).  We started Tess on blood pressure pills and we hope she will begin to get her eyesight back.  We will keep you posted on how she is doing.

19 year old Louis, a real character, visits the Benson Cat Clinic to be treated for kidney problems


Louis belongs to one of our Benson receptionists Karen.
Louis is over 19 years old and Karen has had him since a tiny kitten when she hand reared him. 
He is a real character. 

Since he has become elderly he has developed a few problems and he is currently on treatment for kidney problems. Louis also has seizures from time to time and suffers from arthritis. 

Despite this we are managing to keep Louis very comfortable and happy on treatment and we monitor him closely to make sure he still has a good quality of life. 

When he is due his checks ups he comes to the Benson Cat Clinic because although he lives with dogs as part of the family,  he prefers not to meet other dogs when at the vets.
