Leo popped in recently with a sore paw🐾

After a careful check, we discovered a pesky grass seed lodged inside. With a little sedation and exploration, we removed it safely ✅

A little while later, another seed was discovered burrowed deep in Leo's fur — his owners noticed it at home and, with some gentle saltwater cleaning and massage, it was expelled too.

Leo is now much more comfortable 💙 Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can travel and cause a lot of irritation, so it’s always worth checking ears, paws, and coats after walks!

What’s this funny-smelling, beepy, buzzy thing? 🤔🐾

Blood pressure checks in cats are actually really important, even though they might look a bit funny with that tiny cuff on their paw or tail.

Cat blood pressure checks are used to:

🩺 Monitor overall health – Just like in people, high blood pressure (hypertension) can be silent but harmful.

👀 Protect organs – Untreated high blood pressure can damage the eyes, kidneys, heart, and brain.

🐾 Support cats with other conditions – Older cats, or those with kidney disease or hyperthyroidism, are more at risk and benefit from regular monitoring.

📊 Track treatment – If a cat is on medication, blood pressure checks show whether the treatment is working.

It’s a quick, gentle, non-invasive test, and many cats handle it really well (sometimes they’re more curious about the “beepy, buzzy” machine than anything else!).

Here at Orchard House Veterinary Centres we try to offer our clients the very best in modern veterinary care.

Whilst many clinics may use specialist veterinary referral services to refer you to a large animal hospital or referral centre, we will try our best to see your pet in the familiar walls of Orchard House Vets.

Signs Your Pet Might Be in Pain: How to Recognize the Symptoms 🐾

Pets can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so it’s up to us to be extra observant and watch for signs of discomfort or pain. Whether they’re in physical or emotional distress, it's important to address their pain as soon as possible.
