Park Road Vets - Bath Vets had a cute little visitor yesterday when a concerned member of the public brought in this juvenile hedgehog 🦔
Fortunately all was fine on his physical exam with Vet Kristine & our visiting vet student Meighan so, after a cat food & meal worm snack, he was able to be released where they found him. 😍

Throughout June all of our clinical teams are once again involved in our mandatory in-house CPR training. These hands-on sessions run every 6 months & the various ‘crash’ scenarios we practice are designed & run by bathvetreferrals RVN Carla.
If your pet has been admitted at any of our surgeries recently you will have noticed that our consent form has a section in which we ask you to confirm if you do, or do not, want us to attempt resuscitation in the case of your pet having a cardiac or respiratory arrest. Whilst fortunately these situations are rare events they are the definition of an acute emergency & we want to ensure all our team are equipped to deal with them, giving your pets the best chance.

☀️ Hot weather = hot pavements!

Avoid walking your dog in the hottest parts of the day, and do the 5-sec before stepping out to make sure the pavement is cool enough.

: Put your palm flat on the tarmac for five seconds, and if it feels too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws 🐾

Whoops - cheeky 5 month old Miniature American Shepherd pup ‘Obi’ gobbled down his owners gold ring when it fell off her finger this morning! 😮
Fortunately Vet Claire was on hand at Rosemary Lodge Vet Hospital to give him an emetic injection to make him bring it back up, and double fortunately, as a Pet Health Club Plus member, the consultation fee was covered!
That gorgeous face is definitely saying ‘Sorry Mum’ 😍

Lovely cocker spaniel ‘Lola’ visited Rosemary Lodge Vet Hospital on Saturday when her owners noticed her shaking her head & yelping following her walk. Her ear was painful on scoping in the consulting room & whilst no foreign body could be visualised her history & clinical signs were very suspicious of a grass seed so we admitted her for a deeper look under sedation. And here is the pesky little seed - carefully removed by Vet Michaela 😊 🌱
Sharp, pointy grass seeds can migrate into the body through ears, nostrils, eyes & penetrating the skin of the body & paws. Please check your pet carefully after walks removing everything clinging to their coats & seek veterinary advice if you notice head shaking, painful swellings, sudden violent sneezing or red weeping eyes

‼️ Despite some current social media posts please can we stress that IBRUPOFEN CAN NOT BE USED IN DOGS & CATS 🐶 🐱 & in case of accidental ingestion please seek veterinary advice immediately

We are aware of a few videos circulating social media at the moment regarding ibuprofen ingestion in dogs.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used in people for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with aches and pains, headache, cramps and for the relief of mild fever.

Ibuprofen is a very widely available over-the-counter painkiller. Although well tolerated in people, dogs are very sensitive to ibuprofen and ingestion of even a relatively low dose can cause adverse effects on the gut and the kidneys. A very large overdose can even cause very rapid onset features including convulsions.

☎️Owners can call Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 if they are concerned about their pet.

We do not recommend the administration of any human medications without prior consultation with your veterinary surgeon.
