25.01.2022 Koda is coping so well after her amutation surgery only 3 days ago.

24.01.2022 Meet Sid! Sid had a visit with our wonderful Dr Sarah last week when his attentive owner noticed his pupils were different sizes and he was struggling to use one of his legs. After x-rays were taken to rule out musculoskeletal causes, Sid was treated with anti-inflammatories and pain relief for a presumed cerebrovascular accident (otherwise known as a stroke). Sid was showing great improvements at his recheck today, and rewarded us with this adorable tongue blep after enjoying some treats! We wish Sid all the best for his recovery! #cats #vetcliniclife #seniorcatsrule #veterinarylife #tabbycats #seniorcats #veterinarymedicine
