Neutering means removing the reproductive organs; this is
either the ovaries in females (known as spaying) or the
testicles in males (known as castration). Neutering is a
routine procedure that does not require overnight
hospitalisation, with an average recovery time of 5-10 days.

rabbit here: vetcollection.co.uk/health/should-i-neuter-myrabbit
🍋We have seen a worrying increase in people suggesting the use of lemon juice to use in dogs with heat stroke🍋 Especially in Brachycephalic (Flat faced breeds)
When dogs have heatstroke they can often pant excessively and produce lots of saliva, people believe lemon juice will help clear this if they pour/squirt into the mouth.
When polled in the Veterinary Voices UK Facebook group, 0 of over 970 veterinary professionals would recommend giving lemon juice!
💔One member sadly lost a case because an owner had been attempting to manage heatstroke at home, a heartbreaking tragedy.
If you think your dog has heatstroke:
❌ Do not pour lemon juice into its mouth if they are producing excessive phlegm or saliva
❌ Do not attempt to force any liquid into its mouth - you risk causing aspiration
❌ Do not leave wet, cold towels stationary on them. They quickly warm and trap the heat
✅ Do...
✅ Bring your dog inside into a shady, well ventilated, cool room
✅Call your veterinary team and follow their instructions
✅Prepare yourself to promptly transfer to your practice
✅Cool them down by pouring cold water on them
✅ Depending on their current condition they may drink small amounts of cool water, don't allow they to lap up huge quantities at once incase they vomit
✅ Travel in a cold, air-conditioned car
✅ According to one study into heat-induced illness in dogs, those actively cooled before arriving at the vets had a lower mortality rate than those not cooled prior to arrival.
More information on heatstroke and how to manage while transferring to your veterinary team? See Dr David Marlin:
https://drdavidmarlin.com/managing-dogs-in-hot-weather/
Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?
One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...
We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!
But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.
You should:
💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car
In studies they found that:
🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion
The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.

Vaccinations
Both indoor and outdoor rabbits require vaccinations to keep
them safe from infectious disease. Young rabbits are particularly
vulnerable to serious illnesses, so it’s important to get them
vaccinated early.
Rabbits can be vaccinated from five weeks old and will need
yearly booster vaccinations throughout their life to maintain
immunity.

vetcollection.co.uk/health/vaccinations-for-rabbits/
If you’re a rabbit owner, you might have heard the term ‘flystrike’ mentioned, but what is it?
Flystrike happens when flies lay their eggs on your rabbit & those eggs hatch into maggots. Maggots from blowflies: bluebottles and green bottles, are the most dangerous. They can eat into your rabbit’s flesh within 24 hours which can cause death in a very short time 😢
It’s important to remember that prevention is better than cure.
- Check your rabbit’s bottom daily, more often in summer.
- Keep their environment clean.
- Apply Rearguard or a similar product.
- If your rabbit has a wound, keep it clean and dry.
If you suspect your rabbit has Flystrike, then a trip to an emergency vet is required.
Find out more here; https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/flystrike-in-rabbits/
Flystrike
Flystrike happens more often in warm weather, and in
rabbits who have soiled fur (often due to poor diet, obesity
or arthritis).
Throughout the spring and summer rabbits must be
checked twice daily and any soiled fur cleaned. If you find
any sign of fly eggs or maggots you must arrange for your
rabbit to see a vet as soon as possible.

Take Your Dog to Work Day
There is no denying the fact that dogs can
help to alleviate stress in the workplace. In
fact, a survey conducted by The Kennel Club
revealed that 70% of people think dogs
reduce stress within a working environment,
and even stroking a dog is said to reduce
blood pressure.
Is your four-legged friend taking a trip to your
workplace today?
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our Little Lane Clinic will be closing today at 4pm.
Please contact our sister branch Holly House Vets on 01942 526222 if you require veterinary assistance.

Today marks the start of Diabetes Awareness Week - did you know
your furry friends can get diabetes too?
Diabetes causes levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood to be
persistently high. Normally when blood glucose levels increase, the
pancreas releases a hormone called insulin which adds in a number
of ways to lower the blood glucose and prevent it from getting too
high.
