Grass seeds 🌾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last summer lovely Tiger Lily came to visit Dr Sally with a very sore eye 🥲On examination Dr Sally found a grass seed in Tiger Lily's eye 👁 Dr Sally removed the grass seed and owner Christine kept a close eye ('see' what I did there?) on Tiger Lily and brought her back for a check up ✅where we were happy to say all had healed well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whilst we are enjoying this lovely weather ☀️ picnics 🧺and long walks 🐕🦺please take care in long grass. Grass seeds can be a problem for eyes and long haired animals...if you do find yourself having walked through long grass please check your small friend's face and coat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra

Tinkerbell Tennant-Breust 🐱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gorgeous male 17 week old Ragdoll came in to be desexed ✅He only had one descended testicle, which is not uncommon in dogs, but quite rare for cats! 🐈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tinkerbell required a procedure called a Cryptorchid Castrate ✂️This is where the undescended testicle is located and then surgically removed from the lower abdomen (similar to the surgical removal of ovaries from a female). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tinkerbell's owners thought he was female when they first adopted him. When they found out he was actually male they decided to stick with his cute name 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have questions about your small friend's desexing surgery?
