Most living beings have an aversion to hospitals, and cats, in particular, often respond with fear. Treatment or even basic handling can sometimes be near impossible without help. That’s why we find Gabapentin helpful for calmer visits and safer care.

Cats don’t respond to distress and anxiety the same way dogs or people do, which is why our feline nurses play such an important role in ensuring every patient feels safe. They build trust slowly through calm, consistent care, allowing each cat to set the pace.

Urinary tract issues are one of the most common reasons cats present to general practice. While the clinical signs often overlap, the underlying causes can vary significantly, from idiopathic inflammation to neoplasia.

Anaemia in cats is a complex condition that often develops with other diseases and can be difficult to recognise. A thorough diagnostic approach is crucial to determine the type and underlying cause for appropriate treatment and management.

Radioactive iodine therapy is the gold standard treatment for cats with hyperthyroidism and the only curative solution. If you think that sounds too good to be true, see the before, during and after of the process, and read some patient case studies here.
