Conditions and symptoms within our scope
What patients come to us with
Dental and gum diseasetartar and periodontitis are the most common finding in adult animals.
Obesitybeing overweight shortens life and puts strain on the joints and heart; we pick it up when weighing the animal and assessing body condition.
Heart murmursmurmurs heard on auscultation lead to echocardiography before breathlessness appears.
Chronic kidney disease in catsthe first signs are weight loss and increased thirst.
Ear infectionsitching and head shaking, often dismissed by owners.
Internal and external parasiteswe examine the coat and ask about worming.
Canine parvovirussevere, often fatal haemorrhagic diarrhoea in puppies; vaccination is the only effective protection.
Distempera virus attacking the respiratory, digestive and nervous systems of the dog.
Rabiesa disease fatal to animals and humans; vaccination of dogs is compulsory in Poland.
Leptospirosisa bacterium spread in rodent urine that damages the kidneys and liver; also a risk to humans.
Feline panleukopeniathe feline form of parvovirus, highly contagious and dangerous for kittens.
Cat flu (feline herpesvirus, calicivirus)chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and mouth.

Owners’ questions
Do I need to book a visit?
Yes, please call us on 74 660 62 68. That way you avoid waiting, and we reserve time for an unhurried examination. In emergencies during opening hours we see patients without a referral — please call before you set off.
When can a puppy go for a walk?
Full protection comes with the last dose of the course, at around 16 weeks of age. Before then you can carry the puppy in your arms and allow brief contact with others in a safe environment — socialisation is as important as immunity.
How often should an adult dog be wormed?
As standard, every 3 months. An alternative is a faecal test every 3 months and giving the medication only if the result is positive — a solution particularly recommended for animals that do not go outdoors.
Does microchipping hurt?
It is a single puncture with a thicker needle — most animals react as they would to an injection. For very anxious animals we can combine microchipping with another procedure under sedation.
At what age is a dog a senior?
There is no single cut-off — it depends on the size of the dog. However, we recommend the first geriatric check-up from the age of 5: in large-breed dogs, as in cats and small-breed dogs.
