Here's some common conditions we treat.
‍

Allergies & Skin issues e.g. rashes, itchiness and redness

After reviewing their condition from a video call we can prescribe specific medication to relieve the “itch” or allergic reaction and settle discomfort.

We can advise on appropriate topical products from shampoos, the ointments and oils, or oral skin supplements.
‍
We can dedicate time to discuss hypoallergenic diets and formulate specific diet trials and work closely alongside the owner/pet to formulate a successful long term plan. Skin allergies are unfortunately never cured, the key is finding a way to control the symptoms.

Lameness, sprains, minor cuts and wounds

One of the most common reasons for visiting a vets. We are able to assess your pet during a video call where we can conduct gait analysis, to localise the source of the lameness or review the wound and advise on treatment options.

Sometimes in a consult a pets will mask the pain and hunker down so we can't properly diagnose them, Cats in particular are experts at this. But during a video call where they're comfortable we can see how's it impacting them.

Then we can prescribe pain relief and a rehabilitation plan – including rest and return to exercise regime.

Osteoarthritis / Chronic pain e.g . joint pain

We can provide long term prescriptions to manage joint pain and alleviate those chronic aches. All done online so your pet can avoid those stressful vet visits.

Through a thorough consultation, discussion and assessment, we can update your prescriptions for your pet and provide a written prescription for you to continue to source the required medication online. What’s more, we don’t add a surcharge for a written prescription; this is all included in the cost of your consultation.

We can also advise on additional use of supplements and recommendations on adjunctive therapies, including physio, hydro or laser therapy to support our geriatrics. Find out more about arthritis in cats and dogs.

Gastrointestinal e.g. vomiting and diarrhoea

From the call and your observations, we can prescribe initial measures or recommendations to settle acute flare ups, including probiotics and diet trials.

More chronic cases of diarrhoea/vomiting require time to determine appropriate diet options, to analyse the trigger/food intolerance.

We can provide prescriptions for supplements to manage any deficiencies and improve gut microbiome and health. Vetsy can dedicate time to work out appropriate, manageable long term plans.

Dietary concerns e.g. weight loss/gain and dietary advice

Is your pet struggling with obesity or maintaining weight?

We can spend the time reviewing the current diet and recommend appropriate measures to reach our target weight goals.

Our vets will formulate a unique diet plan based on your pets current regime and weight, which supports you along the way to ensure we reach our target goals. Such approaches can highlight any underlying disease or metabolic processes that may be impacting your pets ability to lose/gain weight. We can then steer our focus on to managing such conditions.

Behavioural concerns e.g. aggression and litter box issues

Reactive, nervous or aggressive dogs find vet visits highly stressful and sometimes can be limiting due to inability to closely assess these patients.

Vetsy provides an opportunity to see these pets in their familiar environment, displaying their natural selves.We can dedicate time to discuss behavioural training from the comfort of home, advising on tips and methods to overcome such fears/anxiety.

In particular cases we can also advise supplements or prescribe behavioural medications.
