Have you observed a surge in your dog or cat's water consumption lately? You might find instances when their water bowl empties faster than normal.
As our pets get older they are prone to certain health conditions that are linked with age, just like us humans.
During this period of uncertainty and with many of us self-isolating and in lock-down, some of our clients have been asking questions about COVID-19 in relation to their pet and also how to manage their mental and physical wellbeing.
Hypovitaminosis A (Vitamin A deficiency)
This has overtaken metabolic bone disease as the most common deficiency based illness we are seeing.

After the operation your pet can have a light meal on the evening of surgery. Do not be concerned if s/he does not want to eat right away. You must remove food if any vomiting occurs. Normal food can be fed the following day. Offer normal amounts of water.
Food and Water
The patient must not be fed later than 8pm if they are to receive an anaesthetic on the following day. Water should be taken up first thing in the morning.

Checking in
For non-emergency surgery, we admit your pet between 8.30 – 9.00am. We ask you to read and sign a consent form giving us permission to operate on your pet. Your pet will be weighed, and then checked thoroughly by our experienced veterinary team prior to any procedure.
