🌟Tuesdays Tips 🌟
Are you all up to date with flea and tick treatments?
Ticks are parasitic arachnids which can be found lurking in long grass or wooded environments. They patiently lay in wait for a passing human or animal to latch onto and begin to feed on their blood. Makes me itch just thinking about it!
As well as being damn right disgusting, some ticks may transmit diseases to both ourselves and our pets, such as Lymes disease and Babesiosis.
As with everything, prevention is better than cure, which is why we recommend and stock a variety of preventative treatments.
If you do happen to find a tick on your pet, it is important that you do not just pull it straight off. You must ensure that the head is removed in order to reduce the risk of irritation and infection. A common myth when it comes to removing ticks is to either burn them or cover them with vaseline! This is not recommended as the tick may regurgitate its stomach contents into your pet, increasing the risk of infection transmission from the tick to your pet.
Below is a handy link to a video demonstrating the correct method to use when removing one of these pesky blighters.
It is always a good idea to have a tick removal tool at home however, if it's not your cup of tea in dealing with these then please get in touch with ourselves and we will be happy to help out.

This gorgeous gent is Alfie - next month he turns 17! (84 in human years) He is such a character and we love seeing him visit us each month for a librela injection. Which really helps his mobility.💕
Librela is a monoclonal antibody designed to recognise and attach to a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF). Once attached, it prevents NGF from attaching to nerve cells stopping the transmission of pain signals. It is specifically used for dogs suffering with osteoarthritis. 💕🐾🐶#maesglasvets#vetpartners #catfriendlyclinic #diversityandinclusion #reception #porthcawl #vet #llantrisant #bridgend #VetPartners #rvn #librela #cutedogs #elderlydogs #positivevibes
