Gorgeous pups looking for their forever homes 🥰

Our beautiful pooch has delivered 9 gorgeous puppies. This is her 1st and only litter. The puppies are available to view from the 13th May after a video call has been completed first. A video call is where you can ask any questions you might have and I can ask you as-well as a sneak peak of the pup

Something to be aware about everyone ….

We have recently seen a suspected case of blue-green algae poisoning at our Haverhill practice. The dog had recently been walked in West Town Park (The flood plain opposite Sainsbury's, also known as the Meldham Washlands) and had drunk from some water there.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) is extremely poisonous to dogs, and can cause liver failure which can sadly be fatal. It grows in stagnant water and can have a variety of different appearances, including:
➡ A blue-green sheen
➡ Green water ("Pea soup" appearance)
➡ Green streaks
➡ Green flakes
➡ A foamy "scum" on the surface of the water.

Many other kinds of algae also grow in our ponds and rivers, and sadly it is not possible to tell just from looking whether the algae is poisonous or not.

⛔️DO NOT LET YOUR DOG NEAR PONDS OR RIVERS WHERE ALGAE IS GROWING ⛔️

Symptoms can come on as soon as 15 minutes after drinking or swimming in contaminated water, but often take a few hours to appear. They include:
➡ Vomiting
➡ Diarrhoea
➡ Lethargy (quietness)
➡ Weakness
➡ Wobbliness
➡ Confusion
➡ Seizures

If you think your dog may have been exposed to blue-green algae, then you should take them straight to a vet. There is no specific antidote, but your vet can make them vomit to empty as much of the algae out of their stomach as possible, and then run blood tests to see if their liver has been affected. If there are signs of liver damage, your dog will need to be hospitalised for treatment.
