🍁 Autumn hazards 🍁 Conkers & Acorns

Toxins aside there is a concern that these (both conkers and acorns) may cause an obstruction within the gastrointestinal system requiring surgical intervention or indeed as a choking hazard on ingestion.

However, post ingestion the most common signs in symptomatic dogs are gastrointestinal. Acorns can cause vomiting and diarrhoea (which may be bloody), abdominal tenderness, inappetence and lethargy. Veterinary poisons information service advise in addition they have occasional reports of urticaria (a rash) and swelling of the lips and/or around the eyes.

Vomiting is the most common effect after ingestion of conkers and other potential signs include abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea and lethargy.

If your dog has eaten acorns or conkers please call to speak with one of our veterinary surgeons. Outcomes are generally very good with symptomatic treatment although prognosis is more guarded in dogs with obstruction.

We don’t just ‘walk’ your dogs.. we give them love, affection and observant care, too. Poor Mr F is having a tough time with a poorly leg at the moment, so we are ensuring his care and safety by fully following his owner’s wishes regarding his care plan, always reporting back and making sure we have time for cuddles and fuss when he needs it.

Just because he can’t have his full walk, doesn’t mean we won’t stay with him for company, enrichment, etc. He loves Izzy doing tricks with him.. and always has to be close by or touching us! 🥰🐾

We’re there for our woofies and their owners in whichever way they need! ❤️🐾

Time for a quick lie down!

Thought we share this photo of our Lola as a reminder of how quickly dogs can get hot and risk overheating. This was taken in the evening and it hadn’t been a particularly hot day, but she still needed a little rest stop. Her tongue had got wider and she was starting to tire… and we hadn’t even been walking for that long!

Of course we gave her the time she needed to rest and regulate her temp.. which actually was only about 5 mins and she was ready to go again! 🤗 We thought we’d use our own experience to show how important it is to recognise the signs and give dogs a quick breather when needed, and therefore avoiding the dangerous risk of overheating 🐾🌤️💕

(NB. Photo angle is making her tongue look wider than it was) x

A little reminder.. 🐾☀️🔥

It’s looking like temperatures are going to reach 27 degrees this afternoon. If you are worried your dog might struggle in the heat then please call or message us and we can rearrange your appointment.

Stay safe today and remember skipping one walk isn’t going to hurt your dog, but heat stroke can!

Have lots of fun and adventure on your holiday, cutie Mr F! We hope you and your family have a wonderful time! 🌤️🕶️💙🐾
