Dentistry saves the day

Bonnie 1 | Dentistry saves the day | Bonnie’s owner brought her in to see us as she had noticed a change in the five year old’s behaviour. The cockerpoo had stopped greeting people, was snapping at other dogs on her dog walks and had started weeing and pooing in the house. She also seemed unnaturally anxious and her owner wondered whether she might be in pain.  | Wellcare World | dogs

We gave Bonnie a thorough examination. She seemed healthy body-wise but when we looked in her mouth, we could see that Bonnie had clear signs of periodontal (gum inflammation and receding gums). She also had a fractured canine tooth. Dental X-rays confirmed that Bonnie had attachment bone around several of her teeth. The dark areas in the accompanying photos indicate bone loss and problem areas underneath the gum line in stark contrast to the healthy teeth alongside where the gums and bone fully cushion the tooth and root.

Our vet Selenia, holds a postgraduate certificate in small dentistry, operated on Bonnie and ended up removing the six compromised teeth. She also fixed Bonnie’s fractured canine using restorative methods, shaping and then sealing the tooth to prevent further issue down the line. 

We are delighted that 2 weeks post op, Bonnie has stopped toileting , is eating and normally and is much more herself. It turns out that Bonnie’s poorly teeth were literally the root of her problem. We are glad you are feeling better beautiful girl!

A massive thank you!

Charity 2024 1024x768 1 | A massive thank you! | A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our ‘Give a Pet a Christmas Dinner’ campaign this December. As you can see, we were literally bowled over by the amount of goodies you brought in to practice to support cats and dogs in local shelters waiting for their forever homes. We collected just shy of 600 tins and sachets of wet food, more than our Clinical Director Hamish’s weight in dry food, 66 packets of treats, 50 towels and blankets, 66 leads and harnesses and enough toys for 138 pets to have a gift each. That’s not to mention coats, pet accessories, bedding, bowls, bandanas, poo bags, puppy pads and more! | Wellcare World | dogs

As many of you know, every year we run a ‘Give a a Christmas Dinner’ campaign to collect and accessories for local cats and in shelter. As it’s December, our 2024 Christmas collection is now live!

We’re collecting wet and dry pet food, treats, bedding, leads, collars, toys, feeding and water bowls – essentially anything that would be of benefit to less fortunate than our own this Christmas. We have a collection point on the ramp leading up to 387 Vets reception, and we also have a festive collection box in the foyer to the West Midlands Clinic. The campaign runs right up until 31st December, and in January, we’ll distribute donations between local pet charities.

A huge thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. Last year we collected over 100kg of dry food and over 500 sachets and tins of wet food, not to mention heaps of accessories to make life better for pets waiting for their new forever homes. Incredible! Let’s see if we beat that this year!

Christmas chocolate alert!

Milo | Christmas chocolate alert! | With December starting this weekend and the Christmas lights going up, it’s a good time to drop in an early reminder about keeping Christmas chocolate out of pets’ reach. Avoid leaving chocolate gifts wrapped under the tree, keep chocolate advent calendars on a shelf and avoid sending chocolate through the post for letterbox delivery to households with pets. This is poor Milo who managed to locate some chocolate and helped himself! Quick action meant we could make him sick to eject the toxins before fully digested. | Wellcare World | dogs

With December starting this weekend and the Christmas lights going up, it’s a good to drop in an early reminder about keeping Christmas chocolate out of ‘ reach. Avoid leaving chocolate gifts wrapped under the tree, keep chocolate advent calendars on a shelf and avoid sending chocolate through the post for letterbox delivery to households with pets. This is poor Milo managed to locate some chocolate and helped himself! Quick action meant we could make him sick to eject the toxins before fully digested.

Chocolate contains theobromine which is poisonous to and can cause many unpleasant reactions including diarrhoea, vomiting, excessive panting and urination, a racing heart and in serious cases, tremors and . The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is.

There are lots of other festive human treats that are dangerous for our pets including any form of grape or raisin, so keep mince pies and Christmas cake above nose level! Sweetcorn kernels and bones from cooked joints can cause blockages, so dispose of in a lidded bin.

If in doubt as to whether something your has eaten poses a danger to them, check out the poisons guide on our Advice 24/7 page. All our registered clients also have access to our VidiVet service for free veterinary around the clock. Check communications from the practice for how to access.
