Canine Desexing

If you've recently adopted a new canine companion, or are thinking about doing so, one of the things you'll have to plan for is neutering.  There are many advantages to neutering, not least of which is preventing your animal family from getting too big too soon!

​

For a female the procedure is known as a spey.  For a male it is a castration. 

  • Feline Enteritis
    Feline Enteritis is also known as Feline Panleucopaenia or “cat flu” and is a highly infectious disease caused by the Feline panleucopaenia virus (FPV). FPV is highly fatal to kittens. Symptoms include: - Fever - Vomiting - Bloody diarrhoea - Severe dehydration - Lethargy - Loss of appetite
  • Feline Calicivirus
    One of the two main causes of snuffles is feline calicivirus (FCV). Around 90% of snuffles cases are caused by either feline calicivirus or rhinotracheitis. FCV can cause fever and lameness and is particularly serious in young kittens. Most cats infected with FCV will become carriers for the virus - meaning they will continue to spread the infection among the cat population. Symptoms include: - Fever - Conjunctivitis - Sneezing - Nasal Discharge - Mouth Ulcers - Loss of appetite - Depression ​
  • Feline Rhinotracheitis
    One of the two main causes of snuffles is feline rhinotracheitis or herpesvirus (FHV). Around 90% of snuffles cases are caused by either feline calicivirus or rhinotracheitis/herpesvirus. FHV is extremely contagious and is particularly serious in young kittens. Most cats infected with FHV will become carriers for the virus - meaning they will be prone to sudden flare ups for the rest of their lives. Symptoms include: - Fever - Conjunctivitis - Sneezing - Nasal Discharge - Mouth Ulcers - Loss of appetite - Depression
