PET OF THE MONTH
On the 14th February, Toothless’ dad brought him in for a consulation as he was struggling to go to the toilet – this is not a good sign in male cats as it points to a blocked bladder which can be fatal if untreated.He came in for his exam, he wasn’t very happy (understandably) and wouldn’t let our vet examine him, so we had to sedate him to be able to examine him. The vet found that his bladder was blocked so we spoke to the owner who gave us the go ahead to treat him.
