🐶 Understanding and addressing common allergies in dogs, from skin irritations to digestive problems, is crucial for their overall well-being.

Many things can cause allergies in dogs. These can range from environmental allergens such as pollen to flea saliva, and some dogs might even suffer allergic reactions to insect stings and certain household products. 🐝🧽🌻

Many plants 🌱 and flowers 🌷 are poisonous for our pets.

If your pet ingests a poisonous plant, its health may deteriorate based on the quantity and toxicity level.

Should you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic plant, contact your nearby veterinary clinic promptly.

Adders are warming up... 🐍

☀️ With the weather warming up, it’s a timely moment to remind all dog owners to be aware of adders, the UK’s only native poisonous snake. Adders hibernate over the winter and emerge during the spring, putting dogs at increased risk during the summer months when the weather is generally warmer.

Adders only tend to bite in self-defence, for instance, when they are stepped on accidentally or disturbed by an inquisitive dog. However, when they do, bites can be dangerous as they can induce lameness, vomiting, and changes to the heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing rate.

They are typically found on dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands, and woodland edges, although not limited to these environments.

Visually, bites typically result in dark-coloured swelling that can quickly become severe. If your dog has been bitten by an adder, please get in touch with us or your nearest vet immediately.

12/04/2024

As humans, we fret around the buzzing noise when a bee comes close; however, an inquisitive pet may seek to investigate and, as a result, could get stung. Pets seem to be fascinated by bees and wasps and can be stung when trying to play with them after rolling in the grass, rummaging in the garden or disturbing a nest.

Commonly, most stings will cause your pet some irritation and some pain, depending on where your pet has been stung and if they have been stung before. In some instances, there can be a lot of swelling, and they may continually scratch the stung area, which can result in fur loss. If your pet shows any of the following symptoms, they could have been stung:

🐝 Drooling
🐝 Whining
🐝 Swelling
🐝 Pawing at the face or mouth
🐝Biting at the site of the sting
🐝Holding up their paw (if that is where they have been stung)

If your pet has been stung near their mouth or nose, you should contact us immediately.

10/04/2024

Over the coming spring and summer months, the risk of "flystrike" increases among the rabbit population. Flystrike occurs when flies lay eggs on the rabbit, which hatch into maggots. These maggots then eat the rabbit's flesh, with often fatal results.

Due to rapid development, the best prevention is keeping your rabbit clean and in good health, feeding them an appropriate diet, carefully checking their bottoms at least twice daily and applying preventative treatments during the peak season.

Rabbits are at an increased risk of getting flystrike if they are unable to keep themselves clean due to obesity, arthritis, poor dental health or cramped, dirty living conditions.

Some of the typical signs of flystrike include:
🐰 Digging into a corner of their living area
🐰 A strong smell from their living area
🐰 Open sores or visible maggots on the skin
🐰 Lethargic and very quiet
🐰 Not eating or drinking

Please get in touch with us quickly for further help and advice if you have any suspicions.

🍫 As much as we all love to indulge in some chocolate over Easter, it is important to remember that chocolate can be dangerous for our pets.

Chocolate poisoning is particularly common at this time of year, especially with the large amounts of Easter eggs that are readily available and sometimes hidden, too. Chocolate contains theobromine, which can be toxic to dogs and cats.

To keep your pet safe, keep all chocolate away from them and opt for pet-safe treats instead.

🐶🐱🐰🐹 Our pets can’t tell us when they’re lost – but by microchipping them and keeping their details up to date can help us be reunited if they are.

Microchipping is a quick and easy procedure that can be performed at our practice. The microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the pet's skin and contains a unique identification number. This number is linked to your contact information so that if your pet is found, you can be contacted quickly and easily.

Today, why not take five minutes to ensure your contact details are up-to-date on the database so that should your pet go missing, it can be reunited with you as quickly as possible?

If your pet isn't microchipped, our Registered Veterinary Nurses provide consultations to implant a microchip. For more information about our nurse clinics and consults, visit >> https://ow.ly/iKp550QMhbM

With Easter just around the corner, it's important to be aware of potential dangers to your pet when feeding them human food, and hot cross buns are no exception. The dough used to make hot cross buns contains yeast, which can cause digestive upset, bloating, and even alcohol poisoning in pets. Additionally, the raisins and currants used in hot cross buns can be toxic to pets, potentially leading to kidney failure.

As a general rule, it's best to avoid feeding your pet any human food, including hot cross buns. If you're worried about your pet has eaten a hot cross bun, please get in touch with us.

🐾 Unkempt nails can cause discomfort and possible injuries to our pets.

While active pets may not require frequent nail clipping, older or less active pets may need more regular trimming. Nail clipping prevents discomfort for your pet whilst they are walking and reduces the risk of more severe foot health issues.

Our Registered Veterinary Nurses hold nurse clinics and offer nail-clipping services to keep your pet's paws comfortable and healthy.

👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ 😀 Smile, It's World Dentist Day!

We all appreciate the importance of maintaining our pearly whites, and our pets need us to support them with this, too! Like human dentistry, pet dental examinations and treatment are about prevention and education, so you’ll be pleased to know that our veterinary nurses are on hand to support you!

🦷 Our veterinary nurses play a vital role in educating, advising and recommending preventative dental care, from how best to brush your pet’s teeth thoroughly all the way through to advising on a referral with one of our veterinary surgeons if required. Behind the scenes, Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) can also carry out dental scale and polishes while patients are under general anaesthesia.

Did you know... today is ?

Spaying your pet is a responsible decision that has many benefits. Here are some of the advantages of spaying your pet:

✔️ Spaying your female pet helps prevent unwanted litters of puppies or kittens.
Reduced risk of certain cancers: Spaying your female pet before her first heat cycle can significantly reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as ovarian and uterine cancer.

✔️ Female pets that are spayed no longer experience heat cycles. This can eliminate the behaviour changes and mess associated with a pet in heat, such as howling, urinating in inappropriate places, and attracting unwanted attention from male pets.

✔️ Spaying your pet can also improve their behaviour. Female pets that are not spayed may become more aggressive or exhibit other behavioural changes during their heat cycles.

✔️ Spaying your pet can also contribute to a longer, healthier life. By reducing the risk of certain cancers and eliminating the risk of pregnancy complications, spaying can help your pet live a longer and happier life.

Spaying your pet has both health and behavioural benefits. Contact us today to arrange an appointment to give your pet the best start in life.

Pets are special members of our families, providing unconditional love and support, especially during difficult times. The last thing we want is to worry about their well-being if they become sick or injured.

✔️ Pet insurance allows you to budget smaller monthly amounts for veterinary care

✔️ Savings or credit cards can be an unreliable alternative for large, unexpected costs or ongoing treatment

✔️ Insurance can help ensure your pet is cared for, even when money is tight.
