❤️ They were really appreciated during the recent cold weather to keep the dogs snug and warm.

🐶 All rescue shelters need donations of pet food, coats and bedding. Look for your local rescue shelter collection points which are usually in supermarkets or in animal charity stores on your high street.

Our new mobility clinic can help get your dog moving again over winter and keep their muscles strong! 💪 Your dog can recieve pain score assessments, heat therapy, massage therapy and a free home exercise prescription - all in one session provided by a Certified Canine Mobility Nurse! 🩺

We really recommend repeated sessions with physiotherapy to help muscle growth, promote blood circulation and reduce pain - this can really improve your dog's lifestyle and reduce the symptoms of Osteoarthritis.

If you think your dog could benefit from physiotherapy, call us on 01670 457271 to get booked in. Please bring their favourite treats and toys to the session! 🥰

(All Happy Paws Club members recieve 10% off all treatments and consultations relating to the mobility clinic!)

Denny’s Mobility Case! 💪

Denny came in to see our vets back in April as he was suffering with a painful right shoulder and a Grade 2 Luxating Patella. This is where the kneecap slides out of its normal position when the knee is flexed. He became very wobbly on his hind legs and was very very painful. Denny was then admitted for surgery on his knee. 🩺 He had a few post op checks where his surgical wound was healing well and he was on plenty of pain relief; however he was still struggling to walk. His front legs started to give way and he wasn’t able to walk even when at home. 💔

Denny went to see Nurse Emily who is a Certified Canine Mobility Nurse and had started offering mobility clinics at the practice. Within 8 sessions of exercise prescriptions, pain scores, massage and stretching, Denny was able to stand on all of his feet again and was able to fully walk! 🤩 Thanks to Denny’s owner for keeping on top of his exercises, Denny feels like a new dog, he is so much brighter and happier and enjoys chasing around other dogs! He loves giving kisses to Nurse Emily when he comes for further sessions. 🥰

Denny still needs to focus on stair climbing and balance; he has recently been practising on the new wobble board! We can’t wait to see you climbing stairs again Denny, you have been a fab patient! ❤️

Mobility clinics aren’t just for dogs that have had orthopaedic surgery; they are also really useful for patients suffering with Arthritis. If you think your pet could benefit from these Mobility Clinics, contact us on 01670 457271 to get booked in!

🎇Firework Season!🎇

Fireworks can be terrifying for our pets! Here are some top tips that can help keep your pet safe and calm:

- Keep your pet secure! Make sure your pet can’t escape if there’s a sudden noise. Make sure your pet is microchipped too just in case!

- Keep your pet indoors! Only walk dogs during daylight hours.

- Close all windows and curtains. Put on music or turn up the TV volume to mask any firework noise.

- Give your pet a place to hide! Either using a crate or allowing them to hide safely under furniture can help make them feel secure.

- Use toys as a distraction but only if your pet feels like playing! Kongs, snuffle mats and toy puzzles are great for mental stimulation.

- It’s okay to comfort your pet to help them relax but it’s equally important to give them space if they need it!

- Most importantly ACT NORMAL! Bringing attention to fireworks can cause more stress to your pet.

- Ask your vet about pheromone therapy or calming supplements that can help keep your pet calm!

- If your pet is really stressed, it may be worth researching an animal behaviourist who can help develop desensitisation techniques to decrease your pet’s anxiety!

For outdoor pets make sure parts of their cages or pens are covered with a blanket to make a soundproof hiding place. Provide extra bedding for your pets to burrow.🐹🐰

Runny or Sticky Eye 👀 Eye discharge is a common problem in pets. Some types are completely normal, while others may be associated with potentially serious health concerns. In order to determine when you need to take your pet to the vet, you’ll need to understand the various types of eye discharge and what each may mean. 5 most common types of eye discharge: A little ‘gunk’ or crustiness – generally made out of dried tears, oil, mucus, dead cells, dust etc. Typically, clear or a slightly reddish-brown colour that accumulates at the inside corners of the eyes. Most evident in the morning and is perfectly normal, with the amount produced each day being relatively constant. It should be easily removed with a damp cloth or eye cleansing solution made for pets. The eyes shouldn’t be red and shouldn’t exhibit any signs of discomfort. Watery Eyes – Excessive eye watering (AKA epiphora) is associated with many different conditions that can range from being relatively minor to more serious. Below are some of the common causes of watery eyes in pets: - Allergies - Irritants - Foreign body in the eye - Anatomical abnormalities (e.g. rolled in eyelids) - Blocked tear ducts - Corneal wounds - Glaucoma (increased eye pressure) Your pet may have simply received an eyeful of pollen or dust, and the increased tearing is working to solve the problem. If eyes continue to water or your pet develops red, painful eyes or other types of eye discharge, make an appointment with your vet. Reddish-Brown Tear Stains – many pets, especially those with light coloured fur, develop a reddish-brown discolouration to the fur near the inner corner of their eyes. This occurs because tears contain a pigment called porphyrin that turns reddish-brown with prolonged exposure to air. In most cases tear staining is cosmetic and can be removed with eye cleansers, however, sometimes it may be due to underlying diseases causing excess tearing so it is advisable to get tear stains ch

Dull, Cloudy or Colour Change ☁️ Healthy eyes should be bright, clear and shiny- if your pet’s eye suddenly looks cloudy or opaque this is a sure sign of an eye problem which needs to be examined by a vet! 🩺 Most often cloudiness is noticed in the cornea (the clear window at the front of the eye) or the lens - vision may be affected to varying degrees depending on the underlying cause. Conditions most likely to cause cloudy or opaque eyes: - Cataracts - Uveitis- inflammation inside the eye - Pannus- autoimmune inflammation in the cornea, German Shepherds are predisposed - Injury or damage to the eye/s - Corneal ulcers or scratches - Dry Eye - Glaucoma - Nuclear Sclerosis is considered a normal ageing change in older pets where the lens takes on a cloudy or blueish haze – it doesn’t affect vision but can often be confused with cataracts on first glance. Your vet can easily distinguish between the two conditions by doing an eye exam.
