EXCITING NEWS! From Swale Barn Vets.
We have started work at our new extension to the side of the barn.
We will have another much needed consult room and more waiting area for our clients and their pets.
Whilst we hope for minimal disruption and the new extension to be up and running in the next 3-4 weeks, we do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 😊

Great news for all Dachshunds owners.
We are proud to announce that we have been approved by The Kennel Club to offer xrays under the Dachshund Health UK IVDD (Intervertebral Disk Disease) Scheme.

The Kennel club IVDD Scheme for Dachshunds (all varieties) in partnership with Dachshund Health UK uses X-rays to detect the presence and severity of IVDD in all varieties of Dachshunds. The scheme assesses for spinal calcifications and gives guidance on how to reduce the risks of intervertebral disc disease.

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a condition that is caused by a gradual deterioration of the shock absorbing parts of the spine, known as intervertebral discs. These discs are filled with a jelly-like substance and sit between the bones of the spine. They help hold the spine together, give the back its flexibility and protect the spine by cushioning any impact. These discs can degenerate with age and harden. The calcification of these discs mean they cannot absorb shock as well and can lead to a slipped disc (disc hernation) and spinal cord compression. In Dachshunds this can happen at a much earlier age compared to other breeds.

Swale Barn Vets is one of the only two clinics across London and South East England to be part of the scheme and approved by the Kennel Club and the lovely Druid (pictured) was our first patient to benefit from xrays under the scheme. We are pleased to announce that he is at very low risk to develop spinal issues in the future:)

It was a busy day today. Another succesful orthopedic surgery day. We had the tiny 1.8kg Winnie the Chihuahua for a patella luxation surgery and the 70kg gentle giant Jaxson for post op xrays following his cranial cruciate ligament rupture surgery 6 weeks ago…. No job is too big, no pup is too small… for our amazing team at Swale Barn Vets 😁

Are you missing a ferret?
This lovely was found behind the Gunpowder Mill near Macknade.
Please share so we can reunite with the owner.

Unlike humans, dogs have very few sweat glands, so these are not effective at cooling them down.
Instead, they need to rely on panting, which produces moist air, but if the air around them is too hot, they are unable to get their body temperature back to normal.

Being stuck in a hot car can quickly become life-threatening, with heat stroke leading to brain damage, organ failure, and possible death.

"Not long" in the car alone can be too long.

In the hot weather, try to leave your pet at home with access to fresh water and shade.

Congratulations 🐕🏆
