Meet Petal 💜

Petal came in today for a dental procedure, and was a superstar patient all day ⭐

Dental procedures under general anaesthetic are important so we can see what is happening under the gum line, as it is hard to examine this while animals are awake. Petal had a couple of teeth extracted today, and had a descale and polish on the rest.

A descale and polish involves the removal of calculus/tartar and plaque from the crown and under the gum line. Ultrasonic tips which vibrate at 30,000 times a second are used to acheive this, then teeth are then polished smooth with a mechanical polisher. This helps slow down the reattachment of plaque. While the dog is under general anaesthetic we can reach the very back teeth, and every surface 🦷

We use dental radiographs to assess the tooth roots, to help us determine if and how we need to extract them. It can show us holes in the teeth, not visible to the naked eye and help us prevent future problems 🦷

Meet Rusty 🐹

Rusty came in to see us today and was a superstar patient ⭐

To weigh small animals, like hamsters, we can use a jug to keep them still on the scales to get an accurate weight.

Isn't he cute? Lovely to see you Rusty 🧡

Feeding Happy Rabbits 🐰

Daily 🥦
Aim to feed 5-6 greens a day.
Mix and Match to keep rabbits interested!
Remember the bulk of the diet should be hay/grass

Treats 🥕
Limit to 1-2 tablespoons per day
You could grow herbs in a window box for an all year round supply!

Toxic 🚫
Some plants are toxic to rabbits, if you suspect your rabbit has eaten a toxic plant seek veterinary advice immediately 📞

Hay 🌾
85%-90% of a rabbits diet should be hay.
This is essential for wearing down teeth, ensuring a rabbits gut keeps moving and ensures good gut health and allows rabbits to exhibit natural behaviours

Nuggets 🥣
Museli diets increase the risk of gut stasis, flystrike and reduce water intake, this can lead to an increase in urinary tract problems. The best dry food for rabbits is a complete nugget food.

We have had a deceased black and white entire male cat brought into us this morning, he has a black right hind leg, a black back, small black spots on his face and the rest of him is white, he is unfortunately not microchipped so we can't track down his owners 😢 He was found in North Marston by village gates near 30mph sign going out of the village on the back road. Please call the practice of you think he is you cat.

Heatstroke ☀️

As much as we all love the hot weather, it is essential that we think about our pets. If we feel hot imagine how hot it feels with a fur coat!

Signs of heatstroke
☀️ Fast heart rate
☀️Vomiting
☀️ Diarrhoea
☀️Heavy panting
☀️ Excessive Drooling
☀️Wobbly, disoriented and staggering
☀️Glassy Eyes
☀️Restlessness and agitation
☀️ Seizures
☀️ Collapse

Extreme caution should be taken for all animals but particularly those who are large, are brachycephalic (flat-faced) or very young, as these are more sensitive to heat and therefore at higher risk. When temperatures reach above 28° this becomes dangerous to all and can become life threatening.

Always provide free access to fresh water for all your animals. Encouraging your animals to take a dip in a paddling pool can also help cool them down.

Don't forget about your small pets too! Provide lots of shade, and make sure their accommodation has plenty of airflow. You can also help cooling accommodation by freezing bottles of water and placing damp towels in enclosures 🐰🐹🐓

If you are worried your animal may be suffering from heat stroke act immediately. Cool first, then transport to your vet! Turn the air conditioning on in your car before starting your journey, spray your pet with lukewarm water and place in the shade. Cool, damp towels can also be placed in the car for your pet to lie on during the journey.

Remember: A dog has never died from missing a walk but it could die from heat stroke.
