This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Thank you all for your kind words and love you had shown after the loss of our handsome Ginger Prince.

It is sad that he was so alert and happy but his body just wasnt able. The best boy we could ever hoped for. Smart, compassionate, independent and charismatic boy.

Out late queen once said
“Grief is the price we pay for love”

She’s forgot to mention how expensive it is 💔🌈💔🌈💔

Tonight I made a bed in the clouds for you
For there you’re free from struggle
You will always hold a place in my heart
Just for you to snuggle

Rest in power my handsome ginger prince

Nucky 6/4/11 to 19/9/25

I’m broken but we had an amazing 13 and 1/2 years together

It is with deep sadness I write on the untimely passing of Mark.

Mark fought hard and won some battles but as with the cruelness cancer one can never win the war 💔

Many of you trained along side him with his very mischievous pup Arthur and formed friendships together.

Marks was true gentleman with a kind loving soul and a big heart. A man who said very little yet spoke volumes.

I’m sure many of you with join me in sending our deepest sympathy and condolences to his beautiful wife Kelly and his loving family. Who’s hopes, ambitions, dreams and hearts have been broken,shattered and stolen by six little words.

“There’s nothing more we can do”

Marks funeral is 12th July 1pm at St George’s church Stalybridge then onto Dukinfield crem at 2pm

Donation in memory of Mark to Willow Woods Hospice .
💔💔💔

Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?

One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...

We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!

But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.
