Meet Molly💕🦷

Molly was suffering with a condition called FORL (feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions). This is when the tooth root gets destroyed by certain cells (odontoclasts). The cause of FORLs is unknown and there is no prevention, but good home care may delay its development. The signs typically seen are pain/discomfort, hyper-salivation, inappetence or reduced food intake, eating on one side of the mouth and pawing at the mouth.

So, what do we do? Unfortunately, the only cure is dental intervention under general anaesthesia. Radiographs are necessary to diagnose the condition followed by the treatment which is to remove the affected tooth and root and once the extraction site has healed, cats tend to return to their happy healthy life.

Meet Olive! 🐾
This cheeky pup recently treated herself to a slap-up meal — an entire kilo of bolognese! 🍝

Unfortunately, the bolognese contained onions, garlic, and red wine — all of which are toxic to dogs. That meant an unplanned trip to the vets for Olive, where she had to be made sick to get it all out of her system.

Thankfully, Olive is now feeling much better! ❤️
We think it’s safe to say her owner will be choosing a different menu for their next dinner party… 😅

Remember: foods like onions, garlic, grapes, and alcohol can be dangerous for our furry friends — even in small amounts! 🐶🚫

If you think she may be your cat, please could you contact the practice on 01440 702007

Meet Jace 💕

This is a reminder to check your gardens and also to be wary on walks and in dog enclosures for mushrooms and toadstools. At this time of year they are abundant and some are toxic.

Jace ate some fools funnel and very quickly became collapsed, hyper-salivating, vomiting and passing bloody diarrhoea. Jace arrived at our Bury branch with a heart rate of 20 and her blood pressure was too low to read. Luckily Jace’s owner had taken a photo of the mushrooms which helped with identification and treatment.

Jace was given several doses of atropine to improve the electrical nerve impulses in the heart and increase its rate. She also received aggressive fluid therapy and once feeling better activated charcoal to prevent any further absorption from the intestines. Luckily for Jace she was allowed home 24 hours later, although she will continue to have her liver function monitored.

Thank you to Jace’s owner for allowing us to use her story to warn other of the dangers associated with mushroom/toadstool ingestion. If you believe your pet has eaten a toadstool/mushroom please contact your vets immediately.

If you think this lady may be yours, please call us on 01284701444 and provide photographs so that she can be identified.

🧙‍♀️ 1. Keep Sweets Out of Reach
• Chocolate, xylitol, raisins, and candy wrappers are toxic to dogs and cats.
• Store all treats in sealed containers, high up and out of sight.
• Remind kids (and guests) not to share sweets with pets.



👻 2. Create a Safe, Quiet Space
• The constant doorbell ringing, costumes, and noise can scare pets.
• Set up a quiet room with their bed, toys, and maybe some calming music.
• If your pet is especially anxious, consider using a pheromone diffuser or calming treats.



🐾 3. Be Costume Cautious
• Pet costumes should never restrict movement, breathing, or vision.
• Avoid small parts that could be chewed off and swallowed.
• If your pet looks uncomfortable or stressed — skip the costume and go for a festive bandana instead.



🎃 4. Watch Decorations
• Curious pets may chew on electrical cords, fake cobwebs, or glow sticks — all can be harmful.
• Keep candles and pumpkin out of reach to avoid burns or fire hazards.



🦴 5. Keep Pets Indoors
• Unfortunately, pranks and mischief can happen on Halloween night.
• Keep pets indoors and safely away from open doors when trick-or-treaters arrive.
• Make sure they’re microchipped and wearing ID tags, just in case they slip out.



🌙 6. Mind the Walks
• If you walk your dog on Halloween night:
• Go before dark if possible.
• Keep them on a short leash and away from decorations or dropped candy.
• Use reflective gear or a light-up collar for safety.
