Reduced mobility in dogs is often caused by arthritis, a condition that affects many as they get older. 🐕💔

If your dog is having trouble moving or seems stiff, it's important to consult with your vet about ways to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

With the right care, we can help our pups live their best, most comfortable lives! 🌟

❌️ Signs of heatstroke in cats are similar to signs in dogs, however symptoms in cats may be more subtle:

🌞 Increasing Panting
🌞 Drooling, salivating
🌞 Agitation (cats may pace)
🌞 Bright red tongue
🌞 Very red or pale gums
🌞 Increased heart rate
🌞 Breathing distress
🌞 Vomiting, diarrhoea
🌞 Signs of mental confusion
🌞 Dizziness, staggering
🌞 Weakness, lethargy
🌞 Muscle tremors

Halle was adopted from a rescue recently, 💛 but with no background information we have no idea what breeds she might be.

* sudden onset of weakness/collapse
* lethargy
* shaking, trembling or twitching
* difficulty breathing
* vomiting
* paralysis
* dilated pupils
* loss of bladder and bowel control
* blood in urine
If you suspect your animal has been bitten by a snake you should;
* keep the animal calm and quiet
* immediately seek veterinary treatment
* call ahead to let the vet know you are coming and the status of your animal
* if possible describe the type of snake to your vet
* DO NOT wash the wound or apply a tourniquet follow vet instructions.
How to reduce the risk

Last week welcomed four new kittens into our rescue. They were all very scared and riddled with fleas. We are happy to report they are now flea free & are almost ready to go to their new homes. And after all the great name suggestions for Kiri's little donkey, we're asking for names for these little ones too. There are three boys 💙 & one little girl ❤️
