🌟 Pet of the Month - June 2025 🌟

Lovely Bear was nominated by our staff members for our Pet Bravery Award in June.

Bear is actually one of our Out of Hours patients that was transferred to us by her own practice following a high temperature and coughing. We admitted Bear for overnight care and proceeded with investigation the following day. Our Vets diagnosed Bear with Pyothorax, a condition that is usually caused by a bacterial infection and can be very serious, sometimes life-threatening! A pyothorax is where pus builds up in the chest cavity within the pleural space between the lungs and inner chest walls. Bear stayed with us for a week whilst we fitted chest drains, administered anti-biotics and continued to monitor. Bear picked up gradually throughout the week and was eventually allowed home where she has continued to thrive and has since made a full recovery.

We are so pleased that Bear has continued to do well! Bear's owners sent us in some pictures from home, how adorable is she!? Well done Bear on your bravery and thank you for being so patient and lovely despite all the investigations and hospitalisation!

A ✅ bingo for humans.
A ❌ bingo for dogs.

While we’re all about celebrating World Chocolate Day, our pets should definitely sit
this one out.

Even small amounts of certain chocolates can cause symptoms between 4 and 24 hours after eating from vomiting to hyperactivity – so, keep those goodies high and your vet’s number handy, just in case.

Between July 2024 and July 2025, we induced vomiting on 21 dogs who had accidentally ingested a toxic dose of chocolate. That’s nearly 2 dogs a month! 🙈

Let’s enjoy the chocolate without sharing it - your pets will thank you for it! 🐾🍫

Inquisitive noses and buzzing bees don’t always mix!

If your pet gets stung by a bee or wasp, here’s what to do:

🐝 Remove the sting (if visible) by gently scraping it out with a bank card or something similar — don’t use tweezers, as they can squeeze more venom in.
🐝 Soothe the area with a cold compress or clean cloth soaked in cold water.
🐝 Watch for signs of a serious reaction, such as:
– Swelling, especially around the mouth, throat or eyes
– Vomiting or diarrhoea
– Trouble breathing
– Weakness or collapse

📞 If your pet shows any of these signs, or is stung on the face, inside the mouth or throat, call your vet right away - reactions can develop quickly and be serious. Even mild stings can be painful, so always monitor your pet closely and contact us if you’re unsure. 01278 450080
