  • Cruciate ligament damage in dogs

    If one of the cruciate ligaments is damaged the knee joint becomes wobbly and this is usually very painful. The most common way for a dog to damage a cruciate ligament is by jumping, skidding, twisting or turning awkwardly.

  • Fleas, mites and lice in rabbits

    Have you noticed your rabbit scratching? losing fur? developing dandruff? It’s possible they could have a skin parasite (fleas, mites or lice).

  • Found a lump on your cat?

    Finding a lump on your cat can be worrying. It’s very important to have any lumps checked by your vet and to monitor them for any changes.

  • Leptospirosis in dogs

    Leptospirosis is a nasty disease caused by bacteria. It causes damage to the liver and kidneys and spreads via other infected dogs, mice, rats and cows and can also be caught from infected water.

  • Lice in dogs

    Louse infestations in cats and dogs are quite rare. They are most common in vulnerable pets (young, old or unwell) and pets kept in dirty, overcrowded conditions.
