🎄Christmas Safety Reminder for Your Pets🎄

The holiday season is a time for joy, but it’s also important to keep our furry friends safe! Some common Christmas foods can be dangerous for pets, so let’s keep them happy and healthy by being cautious.

🚫 Foods to Avoid:
- Chocolate (toxic)
- Ham & fatty meats (can cause pancreatitis)
- Onions, garlic & chives (toxic)
- Grapes & raisins (can lead to kidney
failure)
- Avocados (can cause gastro upsets/ can lead to intestinal blockages if pit is consumed)
- Alcohol (even small amounts can be harmful)
- Bones (can splinter and cause blockages or injuries)

🛑 Tips:
• Keep food out of reach.
• Remind guests not to feed your pets.
• Have pet-safe treats on hand for them to enjoy!

Let’s make this Christmas safe and merry for everyone, including our beloved animals. ❤️🎅

Feel free to share this post to spread awareness! 🐶🐱

A big thank you to their families for supporting them every step of the way – your commitment makes all the difference!

💛 Patient of the week - Honey 🍯

This little fire cracker has been a frequent flyer at the hospital. Several years ago this poor baby had to have one of her hind legs amputated 😢 Then in 2021 she started seeing us.
Due to issues with her toes and a few other problems she has been back and forth to see us over the last few years. But even with 3 legs to get around, nothing will slow her down! As you can see even getting a photo of Honey was a challenge. 😂
We really appreciate her mum for always coming in with a smile and a positive outlook on Honey’s journey. ❤️

🌼 Patient of the Week: Daisy! 🌼

This brave little dachshund was just 19 weeks old when she came to see us, after a tumble left her with an injury to one of her front legs. After a thorough examination and some X-rays, we decided on a plan of cage rest and plenty of TLC. And, of course, Daisy became a fast favorite around here!

This week, we did a re-check and saw some fantastic improvement! She charmed the whole team, especially nurse Daniela, who gave her extra cuddles and even made her a custom sling to help her stay cozy 😂

Now, Daisy is back home with her devoted mom and well on the road to a full recovery. Keep getting better, Daisy – we can’t wait to see you fully back to your spunky self soon! 💕

✨ Patient of the Week ✨

Meet Ruby!
This beautiful girl has become a familiar face at our clinic after a mass appeared on her leg that needed urgent removal. Due to its size and location, the area had to heal as an open wound, so Ruby now visits us weekly for bandage changes. It’s clear we all adore her! 🥹💕
Ruby is always so patient and well-behaved, and she’s even developed a routine of post-bandage cuddles with Dr. Richard. Thank you her owner for letting us be apart of Ruby’s journey so far 🫶🏼

Meet Arrfa,

Arrfa has been coming in to see us recently due to her platelets and red blood cells being low. Platelets are essential for helping our blood to clot and red blood cells carry oxygen around our bodies. Arrfa stayed with us for 5 days in hospital and she has been the one of the best patients we have had in. Arrfa went home feeling much better and we are so glad to see her happy and healthy again.
