Winter Weather ❄️🐾
This cold spell is set to stay so we’ve gathered our clinical teams top tips on keeping your pets safe during the cold weather ⛄️
Keep your cat indoors, especially overnight and try to keep them away from anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) - antifreeze tastes extremely sweet to cats but can sadly cause acute kidney injury which can be fatal! Try not to leave any lying around in garages or sheds where your cats might go to explore 🐈
Clean off your dogs paws and tummies after all walks to prevent salt grit from the road irritating their skin and mouth 🦮
Consider putting a coat or jumper on your dog when out on walks in this cold weather - especially small dogs, puppies, senior dogs or breeds who feel the cold a lot more such as greyhounds 🐕🦺
Trim the fur around your dogs toes to prevent ice balls forming - these can form between the pads and toes of the paw and are really painful 🧊
Ensure your rabbits and guinea pigs are kept in the warm. If your rabbits and guinea pigs live outdoors ensure their hutches are well insulated, with lovely thick beds, and give them a heat source such as a microwaveable “snuggle safe” to keep them warm. Be sure to also check their water to ensure it hasn’t frozen 🐰
And finally please take care when visiting the practice as our car park can become very slippery! ⚠️

Meet Stewie and Pumpkin 🐰🐰
Stewie was recently admitted after his owner noticed he wasn’t quite himself. Stewie has previously had surgery to remove a hair ball from his gastrointestinal tract and was experiencing similar symptoms.
After an initial examination by vet Emma, Stewie was placed on intravenous fluid therapy, given pain relief and gut stimulants before having x-rays. X-rays revealed some abnormal gas patterns so vet James and RVN Gemma proceeded to take Stewie into surgery 🩺
After a successful surgery Stewie was taken back to recovery where his best friend Pumpkin was waiting for him 🐾 Here they are together munching on their greens 🥬 We have since seen Stewie back for two post operative checks and he is doing really well ❤️ #escourtpets

We can’t recommend a good quality pet insurance policy highly enough. Veterinary science is advancing all the time and we can do so much for pets that we once didn’t have the equipment and knowledge to do.
With these advancements naturally comes costs and owners can be surprised at the price of some veterinary treatments. Here are some things to bear in mind when choosing a policy for your pet.
