This is Ernie! He started gagging and retching (and purring less 😭) on Wednesday, but still managing to eat. As he was able to eat, he was prescribed anti-inflammatories to attempt to settle down any irritation in his throat. Unfortunately, after 2 days, these did not improve his symptoms, so he was anaesthetised today to have further investigations.
Once asleep, Lauren could get a good look down his throat and found a very long blade of grass stuck down there! He must have been saving it for later, or just wanted to make his mum (our vet/CD Sasha) have to bring him to work with her 😅

A nice, happy ending for a Friday morning ❤️

Over 60% of pets are now over-weight or obese. When looking at your pet on a daily basis, you may not notice the gradual change in their weight over time. The easiest way to determine if your pet is at a healthy weight is to look at a Body Conditioning Chart.

Here are 2 examples, but there are more in-depth versions that can be found here:https://www.royalcanin.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/BCS-chart-03.12.13.pdf

When shopping around for food, the market can be very misleading and confusing.

When looking for the best food option for your pet, try to avoid Facebook groups, fancying wording and top Google hits (as these are paid for). Instead, please contact us and we can advise the best options for your pet.

Words used in marketing such as 'holistic', 'premium', 'human grade', 'vet recommended', 'no nasties or fillers' and 'hypoallergenic' are non-protected terms and can be meaningless.

A food should always be judged upon the nutrients provided, not the ingredients list.

If you would like advice or have questions, please contact us and Sophie will give you a call to discuss ☺️

Did you know......? This week is Rabbit Awareness Week. Owning a rabbit is a big commitment, although they may not need walking everyday like a dog, they do have their own specific daily needs 🐇 Here are a few tips to keep them safe in the warmer weather ☀️ https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/is-a-rabbit-the-right-pet-for-me #myfamilyvets #RAW2023

Big boy Bruce came in for castration and was such a gentle giant! Here he is showing off his biscuit catching skills… see the photo below for his perfecr pose 😍🐶

Our Boston Spa kennels are filling up with wildlife today! We have Sammie the hedgehog, Derek the pigeon, Swifty McSwifterson the swift and our new patient Henry hedgepig who is awaiting his leg xrays 🦔🦔 Most of our wildlife patients at the moment are suffering from dehydration so please remember to help them out by leaving bowls of fresh water available in your gardens for them to help themselves 🐾

Did you know that lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is transmitted by slugs and snails? 🐌 Your dog can become infected by swallowing one of these critters, or even by accidently ingesting the slime that they leave behind. This can happen more easily than you think…often when your dog is just ‘being a dog’ - rummaging in the undergrowth, eating grass, playing with toys left outdoors or drinking from outdoor water bowls or puddles! They best way to protect them is with monthly preventatives- speak to us to find out more.

Lungworm. The facts: 🐌 #pethealthclub #myfamilyvets #westwoodvets

Happy Valentine's Day to all our wonderful pet owners! ❤ 🐕 🐈 🐇 #myfamilyvets #bemyvalentine❤️

Although the nights are drawing out and Spring is just around the corner I am sure many of us are still out walking our dogs in the fading daylight or early in the morning! When walking your dog in the dark, make sure that both you and your dog are visible to others. For owners, this means avoiding dark clothing and wearing reflective safety gear such as a vest, strap or wristband. There are several options for keeping your dog visible in the dark, such as a reflective dog jacket, collar, lead, harness or even an LED light-up safety necklace. Dogs with darker fur are more difficult to see in the dark. However, even if you have a lighter coloured dog, you should make sure your dog can be seen in the dark. #myfamilyvets #beseen
