Common issues in cats include:

  • Cat bite abscesses
  • Lumps and swelling
  • Foreign bodies (e.g., grass seeds)
  • Road traffic accidents leading to fractures or tail injuries
  • Ear infections, eye infections, and dental disease

Dog-Related Issues

Common issues in dogs include:

  • Wounds, cuts, and tears from outdoor activities
  • Foreign body injuries (e.g., stick injuries)
  • Road traffic accidents leading to fractures or tail pull injuries
  • Ear infections, eye infections, and dental disease
  • Gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhoea

General Health Concerns

Other common health issues in both cats and dogs include:

  • Urinary problems (e.g., difficulty urinating, blood in urine)
  • Fevers and infections

These conditions may require prompt veterinary attention and treatment to ensure the well-being of your pet.
