Guinea pigs are like Pringles - you can't have just one! ๐Ÿน

No seriously - in the wild, guinea pigs live in herds because they are social creatures, so they should always be adopted in pairs.

Keeping guinea pigs in pairs (or more) prevents them from becoming lonely and depressed, and ensures they don't become anti-social.

If you have guinea pigs, be sure to bring them to see the THCV team for a checkup!

Do you know why dogs noses are wet? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง

Truthfully, nobody really knows exactly - but we do have a pretty solid idea.

It's thought that dogs noses are wet to keep their sense of smell as keen as possible.

Dogs secrete a small amount of mucous from their nostrils, which is widely believed to aid in boosting environmental scents ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‘ƒ

Generally, a dry nose is not a symptom of something being severely wrong - it could simply be possible that your dog is just thirsty or has been out in windy weather.

If your dog displays other symptoms alongside a dry nose, such as scabs, loss of appetite or lethargy, please get them to a vet (that's us!) ASAP.

Is your dog coughing or wheezing? ๐Ÿ˜ท

Let's take a look at some of the potential causes:

๐Ÿพ Allergies
๐Ÿพ Bronchitis
๐Ÿพ Tracheal irritation or collapse
๐Ÿพ Blockage in airway
๐Ÿพ Kennel cough
๐Ÿพ Infection
๐Ÿพ Obesity
๐Ÿพ Heart disease

While not every cough, wheeze or sneeze is serious, it's important to keep an eye on the severity and take them to the vet so they can be treated properly ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿพ PET GROOMING ๐Ÿพ

Do you know how often you should be washing your pets fur and trimming their claws? While it varies from animal to animal, here's a rough guide on how regularly you should get your furbaby groomed:

๐Ÿถ As a general rule, dogs should be bathed every 1-4 weeks depending on their coat type and activity level, and their nails clipped once a month.

๐Ÿฑ Cats get pretty stressed out when they're bathed, so its best to stick to grooming them either daily or weekly depending on hair length. Natural scratching is recommended to keep cats claws trimmed, however if you need to trim them yourself it is recommended to do so every 3-4 weeks.

๐Ÿ€ Rats and guinea pigs very rarely need a good wash - perhaps once a year, if needed. Some longer-haired guinea pigs should be spot-washed around their rear to keep the fur around their grease gland maintained. Rats do not need their nails trimmed, however guinea pigs should have theirs trimmed once a month.

Did you know cats are susceptible to UTIs, just like us humans? ๐Ÿฑ

When a cat has a UTI, they may display symptoms such as:

๐Ÿพ Frequent urination
๐Ÿพ Straining to urinate
๐Ÿพ Blood in urine
๐Ÿพ Urinating outside the litter box
๐Ÿพ Lethargy and loss of appetite
๐Ÿพ Excessive licking

To prevent your kitty getting a UTI, ensure they stay properly hydrated, have a clean litter box, follow a nutritious diet, and visit the vet regularly! ๐Ÿˆ

A healthy cat is a happy cat! ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Cats can be pretty stoic creatures so sometimes it can be hard to tell if they are unwell. But just like humans, every cat is unique, and symptoms can differ in subtlety and severity.

Here are some ways you can tell if your cat is sick or not:

๐Ÿพ Sudden change in mood or behaviour
๐Ÿพ Constricted or dilated pupils
๐Ÿพ Rapid weight loss or gain
๐Ÿพ Notable increase or decrease in being vocal
๐Ÿพ Hiding and lethargy

If your cat is displaying any of the above signs, book an appointment with us today:

ROUTINE CHECK UPS ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿพ

Do you know often you should be bringing your dogs and cats to the vet for a routine check up?

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Puppies and kittens will generally need to visit the vet 3 to 4 times in their first year of life due to vaccinations and desexing.

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Adult dogs and cats between 1 - 7 years old (depending on breed) should visit annually unless they are unwell.

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Senior dogs and cats aged 7+ should get a check up twice a year as it provides the best chance of capturing age-related disease early.

Sometimes it can be a real challenge to get your dog to take their tablets ๐Ÿ’Š

If you've tried everything from hiding it in their food to using a pet piller and your dog still manages to spit their medication out, speak to a vet about getting their medication formulated differently - such as a liquid or gel.

If you're looking for a rewarding, family-friendly hobby, consider getting some chickens! ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅš

Here's why:

๐Ÿ” You'll have an ongoing supply of fresh eggs.
๐Ÿ” They're fairly low maintenance and low cost compared to some other pets.
๐Ÿ” They'll eat your scraps and produce a natural fertiliser, making them sustainable.
๐Ÿ” They are intelligent and have lots of personality - including sass ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just make sure you have a big enough backyard for them to stretch their legs and spread their wings ๐Ÿฅ

Do you know what to do if you come across sick or injured wildlife? ๐Ÿฆ‡

๐Ÿพ MAKE AN ASSESSMENT - is it safe to approach the injured animal? If not, call a professional wildlife handler immediately and do not continue with the next steps.
๐Ÿพ STAY CALM - do not make any fast movements or loud noises.
๐Ÿพ APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY - if you can, cover them with a blanket or jacket and transfer them to a box or carrier for stability.
๐Ÿพ TAKE THEM TO THE VET - transport them as swiftly, quietly, and safely as possible to the nearest vet.

Thank you for caring for our beautiful wildlife ๐Ÿจ
