Tomorrow is International Cat 🐈Day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are lucky as every day is Cat Day for us 😻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Luna 🐱She is a 9 month old Tortoiseshell who visited us for her desexing surgery. She was very smoochy and loved cuddles with the nurses 👩🏻⚕️so naturally all our nurses obliged 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that the X chromosome 🧬carries the gene for orange OR black coat colours? So with two X chromosomes females can have black AND orange coats colours together 🖤🧡whereas males are usually either black OR orange. Almost all torties are female. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra #internationalcatday

Poodle Party 🐶🎉🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Coco and Coby when they came to visit us almost 12 months ago 🗓for their annual health checks. They are the cutest little things ❤️ Coco and Coby have been fit as fiddles since we last saw them 👏🏻and so we are looking forward to seeing them soon for their annual health check. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that your annual visit isn't just about getting annual vaccinations? 🤷🏽♀️Their health check is so important to your small friend's general health 🤩 Small friends can't tell us specifically how they are feeling, so by owners discussing their small friend's behaviour with one of our vets 👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👩🏼⚕️ and having a full health check ✅we can get a good idea of their health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have an information page on Health Checks on our website (link in bio). It goes through some things you might like to discuss with out vets at your appointment 👍🏻 It is helpful to have a read of it before your next health check. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #poodlesofcanberra
Winner winner chicken dinner 🍗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meet sweet Cleo 😍 She is an 8 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who had been off her food and not herself so her owners took her to the emergency centre. The next day she still wasn't right 😟 and had started vomiting so her owners brought her to see Dr Sally 👏🏻We collected blood and ran some tests and Dr Sally diagnosed pancreatitis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. This can be caused by several things but the most common cause we see in general veterinary medicine is high fat diets or the sudden introduction of a large amount of fatty food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After a day spent on fluids Cleo made a complete recovery 🎉She had stolen Dr Matt's heart and to try and encourage her to eat he bought her some roast chicken 😍Don't worry, he removed the skin 😉 Cleo went home later that day and is now on a low fat diet to reduce the risk of another flare up 👍🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pancreatitis is a serious condition and not all cases end up so happily. If you have any questions about what you should be feeding your small friend please call ☎️6262 2233 or drop in and ask one of our helpful staff. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #staffysofcanberra
Pipino 🐈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dr Matt had the pleasure of seeing this gorgeous 8 year old Bengal, Pipino, as Pipino had had trouble weeing and had blood in his urine 😖During an ultrasound Dr Matt 👨🏻⚕️confirmed a bladder stone. Dr Mel went on to surgically removed the stone from Pipino's bladder in a procedure called a cystotomy. Pipino returned recently for his annual health check and his owners report he is much better since surgery 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cats 🐱are prone to forming crystals 💎and stones in their urine. A good quality complete maintenance diet can provide some prevention from this. Drop in or call us ☎️6262 2233 if you'd like to know more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #rspca_act

Luna Lane 🐇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gorgeous creature is Luna, an English Angora Rabbit. Luna visited us to be desexed 👏🏻Everyone loved having her stay for the day as she was very sociable. When she hopped around her ears looked like downy floating feathers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In case you are wondering, yes, Angora wool comes from Angora rabbits and Mohair comes from the Angora goat 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #rabbit #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbitsofcanberra
