Animal services RSPCA relies on local heroes Sometimes animals that come into the care of RSPCA Milton Keynes and North Bucks have special long-term needs or are elderly. The branch relies on local heroes who will take them on and look after their medical needs. In cases where this is not possible, the branch will pay for the medical costs relating to their condition. Socks is looking for a local hero. This handsome boy joined us as a result of his owner passing away. He is 12 years old and is hyperthyroid, which is controlled with medication. Socks is the most charming of cats and is always up for a cuddle and a fuss but needs someone very special who can take on him and also his medical needs. If you think you are that someone, please call RSPCA Milton Keynes and North Bucks on 01908 611179 and ask to meet Socks.

They are separate from the National RSPCA. Why you aorta get your dog’s heart checked! Advances in medicine mean improvements in the care of our dogs. Canine heart medicine is now moving from tackling problems when they arise to picking up conditions before they cause an issue. Kate from the Vet Centre, Cherry Lane says, “Recent research has shown if a heart condition is picked up before it causes clinical signs, medication can now be used to delay the onset of health problems.” A new blood test has been developed that can detect potential underlying problems of the heart. If an issue is suspected, a heart scan is used to confirm what type of abnormality is present and what treatment is required. This should enable our dogs to keep running and enjoying life for longer. Diabetes doesn’t need to be a CATastrophe! As with human health, we are starting to see more cases of diabetes in the animal world, especially in our feline friends. Many of the risk factors are similar, the main ones being weight, lack of activity and genetic factors. David from the Vet Centre Maids Moreton says, “Typically early warning signs are eating and drinking more than normal. They also sometimes lose weight and urinate in odd places around the house - typically on the most expensive rug they can find!” Controlling diabetes requires diet management and giving insulin by injection. This can seem daunting but with training most owners quickly get the hang of it. It can take time to get feline diabetes under control but with careful monitoring you can give your cat the best chance of being healthy.
