Autumn is here 🍂

04/10/2024

Hi everyone, it’s time for me to take my annual week off and I’d just like to say a huge thank you for supporting me and my small business, we wouldn’t be where we are today without you!

Aimie and Alexa will be holding down the fort and covering walks whilst I’m away.

All messages will be responded to on the 14th/15th October when I return, so please bear with me whilst I get back to you.

As we head into the autumn, we receive lots of enquiries regarding acorns and oak trees (Quercus species).

Ingestion of acorns by dogs is common during the autumn months. Following a large, one off ingestion of acorns, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur in dogs, both of which may be bloody. Lethargy, abdominal tenderness and inappetence can also be seen and there is also the risk of gastrointestinal obstruction. There have been reports of kidney and liver damage following substantial or repeat ingestion of both acorns and the plant itself, a scenario more commonly seen in horses and ruminants.

Oak toxicity predominantly affects grazing species such as cattle, horses and sheep, but it can affect dogs and cats too.

Oak toxicity can cause:
❗ Gastrointestinal signs (such as vomiting, diarrhoea, colic)
❗ Inappetence
❗ Gastrointestinal obstruction (particularly if a large number of acorns have been ingested)
❗ Kidney and liver impairment (reported in a small number of cases involving dogs, horses and ruminants)

📞If you suspect your pet has been exposed to oak, call the Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 for advice. Veterinary professionals can call VPIS on 0207 305 5055.

🐾 Guess the breed! 🐾
He is one of our oldest group walk members so he spends most of his time sniffing and taking things steady. He still loves a ball though 😍
