Hello. I am a former Qualified Veterinary Nurse. I am a Dog Walker and offer pet care x

It's international Dog day today ♥️♥️♥️♥️ wow! What they bring us is amazing ♥️ The joy and love can be overwhelming! Yesterday we had our gorgeous boy to the emergency vets 🥹 He's not well, we don't actually know why but believe his changes are pain related. We couldn't love him any more and I hate not knowing what's going on but blood tests were all normal. It's not nice seeing him so sad. Let's hope these meds kick in ♥️ Bank holiday and no lovely walk 🥹
♥️♥️ Just a reminder that I have a few random days of holidays scattered and a week off in the following few weeks ♥️♥️ Also, next week is getting pretty warm over the lunch time period therefore, walks may be switched to garden time or a quick walk out to toilet - please let me know if this is not required xx
A few lovely photos ♥️ and a new face too 🥰
It's guinea pig appreciation day ♥️ we're so lucky to have these little piggies in our lives ♥️ they may be a little spoilt 🤣 but I couldn't resist the new houses 😁❤️
I really love a good action shot! ♥️ But it's also so important that everyone gets to stop and have a good sniff! It really is so important for their well-being! It's not a waste of time, it's not a waste of a walk!! It's part of the walk ♥️♥️
Worth a read ❤️ ❄️
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.

What an incredibly busy few weeks! ❤️ It's been amazing looking after all of your lovely pets whilst you're out or on holiday ❤️
It's Rabbit Awareness Week! If you own a rabbit there's some good advice available to keep them happy and healthy 🐇 In this heat, rabbits definitely need checking twice a day to prevent fly strike 🐰 A good diet and exercise is also important to prevent overweight rabbits 🐇 Hay is such an important part of their diets!
Just like us, rabbits benefit from routine health care and checks! 🐇✨
Regular health checks for your bunnies are essential to keep them happy and healthy.
This includes making sure their teeth and nails are at the right length and shape, regular grooming sessions to keep their fur in top condition, and Don't forget to check them for flystrike, especially during the warmer months! 🩺
It's crucial to inspect your rabbits daily, and during hot weather, twice a day to catch any early signs of flystrike. Ensuring their welfare involves a consistent and thorough approach to their health care. 🌡

Let's keep our furry friends safe and well! ✨

Next week we're jumping straight into the extreme caution temperatures! Walks may be shortened or moved to garden let outs. I won't lie, I don't like this time of year! I want nothing more than lovely walks but I won't take the risk. I've seen dogs die in these temperatures and I wish I could wipe that from my mind but I remember every one 🥲
Could I please remind you to notify your vets that during your annual holidays, I will be taking care of your pets. They will update with my information to ensure that in an emergency your pets can access appointments and treatment. (You only need to do this once) Today I had to take little Seeka to the vets after she had been in a cat fight ❤️ hopefully the medication kicks in soon! I shall certainly be keeping a close eye on her wound ❤️
On another note 😁 Park view currently have lots of nice cooling ideas for your pets!
Imagine how many cats could be reunited with their owners if they were microchipped...
We have a microchip offer for £20 until 28th June, please call reception 01522 683300 to book an appointment.
If you are on our Pet Care Plan then the microchip is included, our Cat Pet Care Plan is just £19 a month, please ask for more information.

We've had a wonderful holiday and a lovely couple of days back ♥️ Dobby enjoyed a boat trip, swimming in the sea, lovely family walks and just watching life in the bay ♥️ He would probably say the best part was a freshly caught mackeral 😋 and worst part was having his tail tip bandaged again 😂 what else can you do when you're so happy 😂

❤️❤️It’s international cat day! 🐈 ❤️❤️ Now I look after quite a few gorgeous furry felines ❤️ and each one is unique and beautiful and therefore today is their day! ❤️ I would like to add that last week I had the heartbreaking news that the gorgeous Sprat had passed away. He was the best boy! Gosh, he really was and I shall miss everything about him. I’ve added a clip of the purrs I had the pleasure of listening to. Goodnight sweet boy, today is for you too xx
Owning a cat can reduce your stress ❤️ This little ones making me very relaxed and sleepy ❤️ I love listening to the purrs…. Oh and those cute little feet ❤️❤️
What a lovely way to start the day ❤️
