Dr Simon Hayes highlights the dangers of grass seeds in his latest blog post.

Check your dogs after they have been for a walk. Check their ears and the fur around them, check between their toes and any areas of long fur that they have.

***Update: The cat has been found***

Have you seen this cat?

Her name is Peanut and is a Torbie. Peanut is microchipped but does not wear a collar. She is 7 years old and was last seen yesterday morning.

She is friendly but can also be scared of people. She usually comes home after a few hours but has not and this is really unlike her. She has gone missing from the N21 postcode. Numbers to call if she has been seen are (Steph) 07758511989, (Alex) 07484603982 or the Village Vet Winchmore Hill practice 02083602020.

When it’s 22°C outside, within an hour the temperature in a car can reach an unbearable and deadly 47°C. Should your dog’s body temperature exceed 41°C, it can prove fatal, and this can happen in as little as 20 minutes. Think how frightening that must be, with no way of escape. Please share to raise awareness

If you see a dog in a car, could you recognise the signs of heatstroke? Would you know what to do? Visit PDSA’s website to help you recognise the signs of a dog in distress http://bit.ly/PDSA-DDIHC

This is Phoebe, she is a gorgeous and super friendly cocker spaniel. She was rescued from the RSPCA in April and her history is pretty unknown.

She came in last week with diarrhoea, a very common problem in all dogs, but unexpectedly we felt a mass present in her abdomen. After an ultrasound, she was taken to surgery to explore the mass and it turns out a swab had been left inside her belly after her spay. It had attached itself to her intestines and due to some disruption of blood supply, we had to remove a small section of her intestines.

This is a risky procedure as many animals can develop infections following the surgery, however, she was such a trooper, was eating later on that night and bounced back super quickly!

It has been almost a week since her surgery and everything went well, no sign of infections. Fortunately, this type of problem is extremely rare but as with any profession, mistakes can happen! Here is a photo of Phoebe after she woke up from her surgery!

**Update: This lovely cat has been reunited with the owner. Thank you for everyone who shared this post.**

He is roughly between 12-18 months old, healthy ginger male. We have just castrated him. Very friendly and affectionate but a little nervous around other animals. He had a poorly eye which we have given antibiotics for and it’s looking much better now.
