Noticed excessive grooming in your cat? Excessive grooming, scratching, licking, hair loss, inflamed skin or crusty skin can all indicate a skin related issue in your cat.

What a heartwarming story - Donkey nannies in Italy Each year in Italy, grazing animals are moved from high pastures down to the plains. Newborn lambs are unable to make this journey on their own. Instead, they ride in the pouches of a specially made saddle on the back of a donkey or a mule nanny. They are taken down at rest stops and returned to their mothers for a bite to eat and a bit of nuzzling.

Spring is not far away! Unfortunately that often means scratching and skin irritations flaring up again in our pets. Some breeds are more prone to allergies than others. Typical signs may include itching, skin irritations and skin rashes, paw licking and redness or sores on paws, and even recurrent ear infections. Contact us for a range of treatments available which can be tailored according to severity and the underlying cause.

Poor little Brutus tried to give a bumble bee a kiss. 🐝 He ended up with half a swollen face and a broken heart. 💔 After some giggles we gave Brutus an anti-histamine injection and anti-inflammatory tablets. 💉💊 Brutus was soon back to his bubbly self. 🐶🐾

Need advice on your animal but can't get to the clinic? Not sure if your pet really needs to be seen? Head to our website for further details on our new Video consultation service

🔶 Hamilton Vetcare are excited to announce a new service for Hamilton and surrounding regions - Telemedicine/Video consultations 🔶 Our Video consultations can be used when you have a problem with your pet and you can’t physically get to us, or if you aren’t sure whether your animal needs to be seen by a vet. It can also work well when you’re after a second opinion or when we need to monitor your animals’ recovery post-surgery without the need for you to come back to the clinic every time. Although the physical examination of your animal at our clinic by one of our vets is the preferred method in all cases, a video consultation can offer an alternative when this is not possible. Using innovative technology, our Video consultations work seamlessly across all devices including tablets and smartphones.

Border Collies named breed with the most behavioural issues - that can’t be right! See article below (from the UK) “These findings, based on research of pet insurance claims by John Lewis, also highlight psychological issues with labradors, golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, cockapoos and border terriers. They appear to be at odds with the idea that the border collie is an acutely intelligent working dog, able to outsmart a truculent herd of sheep with an expert shepherd. In fact, the breed was developed in the Scottish borders for herding livestock, specifically on the basis that it was both intelligent and obedient. However, the findings suggest that collies are likely to become frustrated and unruly when they are raised in urban homes without the mental and physical challenges they were bred for”
