  • Euthanasia allows your cat to die in peace with dignity and without further suffering. It can be a very hard decision to make but it is one of the kindest things that an owner can do for a suffering cat.

  • Evening primrose oil has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used in the treatment of allergic skin conditions. It may be used alone or with other medicines.

  • These are non-specific clinical signs and can be caused by many different conditions and diseases.

  • These are tumours arising from structures within the eye. They tend to result in an increase in the internal pressure (glaucoma), which then leads to blindness.

  • Melanocytic tumours are formed by abnormal melanocytes. Melanocytoma is a benign (non-spreading) melanoma. Malignant (spreading) tumours are sometimes called melanoma or more specifically malignant melanoma or melanosarcoma.

  • Eyebright (Euphrasia rostkoviana formerly officinalis) has been used for centuries for the treatment of conjunctivitis and mild eye irritation in people, hence the name. It has mild antimicrobial (antiseptic), anti-inflammatory and astringent (tightening) properties.

  • Faeces and urine analyses are relatively simple but important tests that are often carried out in-house (i.e. not sent away to specialist laboratories).

  • Feline chlamydiosis is caused by a bacterium-like organism. Because chlamydia lives inside cells of the body and is not able to survive for long in the environment, spread of infection relies on direct or close contact with an infected cat. The bacterium primarily infects the conjunctiva (the delicate membrane lining the eyelids and covering the edges of the eyeballs) causing inflammation (conjunctivitis). Since chlamydia is a bacterial infection, it can be successfully treated with a course of oral antibiotics.

  • Feline eosinophilic granulomas are peculiar lesions which may be found in cats affecting the skin and other sites. The most common site for these lesions is on the lips, usually the upper lips, where they appear as ulcers. The most common method used to treat eosinophilic granulomas is to use corticosteroids. Some forms of eosinophilic granuloma prove more difficult to treat and in such cases your vet might decide to use additional treatments.

  • Fibrosarcoma is a tumour originating from the fibroblasts of the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue. The feline sarcoid is a subtype of tumour that is caused by a papilloma (wart) virus.
