Five year old Tabitha went for a wander one evening and returned home looking very flat and uncomfortable. Her upset owner brought her to us promptly. Tabitha had significant injuries to her face. We suspected that she may had been injured on the road. Her injuries included a badly broken tooth and a very sore jaw and ear.

"Sully", a very handsome 8 month-old British short hair, visited us earlier this month as he was unable to stand on one of his back legs. His owners were worried as Sully hadn't come in for dinner the night before and didn't seem his usual self.

Kitty recently visited us at Blackburn Vet Centre as she was due for a routine check-up. During the examination, one of the vets discovered that Kitty had quite a bit of staining on her teeth towards the back of her mouth.

Porscha is a 20 week old domestic shorthair cat who presented at Blackburn Vet Centre recently with a concerning problem. Her owners had noticed her retching quite frequently the morning we saw her and they were understandably very concerned about what was happening with their new addition to the family. During examination, Porscha was quite uncomfortable in her throat, and retched on numerous occasions.

Recently we were visited by George, a 4 year old male British Shorthair cat. George's owner was concerned that he had been a bit sore on his left front leg for a few days now, and wasn't improving much at all. It was soon realised that x-rays were required to investigate the problem further. These x-rays revealed that George unfortunately had a fracture in this leg, in an area equivalent to a human hand between the wrist and fingers.

Huckle, an 11 year old DSH cat had been seen by us for a growth on his chin that was getting worse over time. It had gotten to the point of bleeding and causing him pain when it rubbed on objects. It was recommended that we biopsy the lump to try and find out what we were dealing with and the
best way to treat it.

They know when you are trying to help them, don’t they? Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't, and will try and make your life as difficult as possible. Precious the cat was diagnosed and was being treated for Hyperthyroidism.

Meet Cyan, a beautiful 3 year old female tabby who presented to Blackburn Vet Centre after being treated the previous evening at the Animal Emergency Centre with weakness in her hind legs. The Veterinarian at the AEC, after examining Cyan, explained that a number of things, including a snake bite, may be causing her condition.

Poor Sooty. He was fine that morning but by the time his owners got home after 8pm that night they could see he was in trouble. Sooty's right hind leg was obviously badly injured- he could hardly put any weight on the leg. (Sooty is pictured here with his carers Elizabeth and Catherine)

Smokey, a beautiful domestic long-haired cat recently visited us. He was brought in to the clinic by two lovely people who had found him straying around outside their home. Unfortunately he wasn't wearing a collar with any identification, so it was a mystery as to who his owners really were.
