🔥 HEATSTROKE 🔥

With temperatures predicated to soar over the weekend, we wanted to make owners aware of the signs of heatstroke and what to do in this situation.

Signs of heatstroke include -

🌡 Excessively panting
🌡 Collapse
🌡 Vomiting and/or Diarrhoea
🌡 Lethargy

💧 WET THEN VET 💧

If you are worried your pet may have heatstroke, do not place them in a hot car and drive to the vets. Firstly cool your pet by soaking them with cold running water; this does not have to be freezing, as long as it is colder than your pet.

🚗Ensure your car is cool before driving to the practice 🚗

Most at risk ❓
- Brachycephalic breeds
- Overweight pets
- Puppies
- Kittens
- Elderly pets

How can this be avoided ❓
🐾 Only walk your dogs early morning or evening to avoid the high temperatures.
🐾 Always ensure they have access to water and shade.
🐾 Choose to walk in areas where they have access to water to cool off.
🐾 Use cooling matts or vests
🐾 Don't leave your dog in hot cars, even with the windows down!
🐾 Don't let your pet lie in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. This includes indoors!

⚠Don't take the risk. A dog has never died from missing a walk, but a dog has died from one walk in the heat.⚠ If you are worried your pet may have heatstroke, please contact your vets.

🐰Beau's tail tale! 🐰

Bunny Beau came in to see Vet Victoria @ Galashiels after he injured the tip of his tail. Unfortunately, despite antibiotics and pain relief, the decision was made to amputate the damaged section. The great news is that Beau was back in for a check up recently, and we are pleased to report that his shortened tail has healed beautifully and is even fluffy again! Good job Beau! 🥕🥕
