🪺Happy Easter from the Emergency Home Vet team!🪺
Wishing you a joyful Easter filled with sunshine, smiles, and (safe) treats!

While you're enjoying your chocolate eggs and roast dinners this Sunday, don’t forget — Easter brings a few hidden dangers for our furry friends:

⚠️ Common Easter Hazards for Pets:
1. Chocolate – 🍫 Toxic to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause vomiting, seizures, and heart issues.
2. Hot Cross Buns – 🍞🍇 Grapes & raisins are highly toxic and can cause kidney failure in dogs.
3. Easter Lilies – 🌸 Extremely dangerous for cats. Even a tiny nibble can lead to kidney damage.
4. Cooked Bones – 🍖 Can splinter and cause choking, blockages, or internal injury.

If your pet gets into trouble today, we’re here to help — even on Easter Sunday!
Our emergency vets come to your home to provide fast, stress-free care when it matters most.

📱0208 073 0500 (London)
📱0161 394 0942 (Manchester)

Stay safe, keep the chocolate for yourself, and give your pets an extra cuddle from us!

🐾 Myth Monday: “It’s Safe to Make My Pet Vomit at Home” – Think Again! 🐾

MYTH:
“I can safely make my dog or cat vomit at home with hydrogen peroxide, salt, or soda crystals. Everyone on the internet does it!”

TRUTH:
Inducing vomiting at home can be dangerous, even life-threatening – and most common methods people try are outdated, inappropriate, or downright harmful.

Let’s bust some risky DIY methods:

🚫 Hydrogen Peroxide – This can cause severe vomiting, stomach ulcers, or aspiration pneumonia. It’s not safe to use without professional guidance.

🚫 Salt – Giving your pet salt to induce vomiting can cause salt poisoning, which leads to tremors, seizures, or even death. Absolutely not recommended.

🚫 Soda Crystals (Washing Soda) – Highly corrosive and can cause chemical burns in the mouth, throat, and stomach. This is a veterinary emergency, not a remedy.

🚫 Mustard, Baking Soda, or Dish Soap – These are toxic irritants and have no place in a pet’s stomach. You could cause more harm than the original problem.

⚠️ When your pet eats something they shouldn’t, time is critical – but so is safety.
Always call your vet or an emergency service (like us!) before taking action. We can assess whether vomiting is even necessary – because in some poisonings, vomiting can make things worse.

🩺 At Emergency Home Vet, we come to you fast – and we carry the right medications and dosages to safely induce vomiting only when it’s appropriate.

🐾 Fun Fact Friday! 🐾

What’s one of the smallest but mighty tools in our emergency kit? 💉
Apomorphine! 🐶💊

This medication is used to safely induce vomiting in dogs when they’ve eaten something they shouldn’t - like chocolate, xylitol gum, or even socks (yep, it happens more than you'd think 👀).

⏱️ Time is critical in toxin cases, and because we carry apomorphine in our mobile emergency kit, we can act immediately at home — helping prevent absorption and potentially saving lives!

⚠️ (P.S. It’s not safe for cats, so we use different methods for them!)

🐾 Emergency Case!🩺🚑

Merlin, a 12-Year-Old Cat in Respiratory Distress:
At Emergency Home Vet, we understand that emergencies don’t wait for regular vet hours. One evening, Merlin’s owners found him lethargic, struggling to breathe, and refusing to eat. With their regular vet closed, they turned to us for urgent help.

🚨 The Critical Condition
Merlin, a 12-year-old domestic longhair cat, was in respiratory crisis due to fluid accumulating around his lungs (pleural effusion). This prevented his lungs from expanding properly, leading to oxygen deprivation. If left untreated, Merlin faced imminent respiratory failure. Transporting him in this unstable condition to a hospital could have worsened his distress. The symptoms observed in Merlin were:

✅ Severe difficulty breathing and open mouth breathing
✅ Weak and collapsed
✅ Irregular heart rhythm
✅ Weak femoral pulse
✅ Lethargic

🏥 Life-Saving Treatment at Home
Our mobile vet Joana took immediate action to stabilise Merlin before hospital transfer.

🔹 Mild Sedation for Comfort – We administered medications (to reduce stress and aid breathing, and to relax the muscles without major circulatory effects).
🔹 Portable Ultrasound – Confirmed fluid build-up around Merlin’s lungs.
🔹 Thoracocentesis (Chest Drainage) – The vet drained fluid from Merlin’s chest, providing immediate relief and the ability to breathe sufficiently again.
🔹 Oxygen Therapy – Provided throughout the procedure to ensure stable oxygen levels.

✨ The Outcome: A Fighting Chance for Merlin
After the procedure, Merlin’s breathing improved significantly. While still needing further hospital care for fluid therapy and heart assessment, our intervention ensured:

✅ A safer, more stable transport to the hospital
✅ Immediate relief from respiratory distress
✅ Increased survival chances

📢 Why This Matters
This case highlights the critical role of emergency home vet services. Our ability to stabilise pets at home before transport can make the difference between life and death.

💡 If your pet experiences a sudden emergency, don’t wait, call us immediately.

Merlin is on the mend, and we’re so happy to hear he’s recovering well! 🐾✨

Happy New Year from the team at Emergency Home Vet!🎉

As we say goodbye to 2024 and welcome 2025, we want to thank you for trusting us to care for your beloved pets. Here's to a year filled with wagging tails, furry cuddles, and happy, healthy companions.💕🐾

🎆🎇But while we celebrate, let's not forget that New Year's Eve can be a stressful time for our furry friends. Fireworks are exciting for us but can be frightening for pets. Here are our top tips to keep them safe and calm:

1️⃣ Create a Safe Space: Prepare a cozy, quiet spot where your pet can retreat if they feel anxious. Include their favorite blanket, toy, or even an item with your scent.

2️⃣ Distract with Play or Sounds: Keep curtains closed and turn on the TV or some calming music (we recommend classic FM between 7pm-1am) to muffle the sound of fireworks. Interactive toys can also help keep their minds busy.

3️⃣ Stick to Routine: Feeding, walking, and playing at the usual times can provide a sense of security.

4️⃣ Avoid Taking Pets Outside: If a walk is unavoidable, keep dogs on a lead during walks, and ensure cats stay indoors to prevent panic-induced escapes.

5️⃣ Consider Calming Products: Consult your vet about calming plug ins, sprays, treats, or supplements if your pet is particularly anxious.

6️⃣ Be There for Them: Sometimes, your presence is the most comforting thing. Offer cuddles and reassurance if they seek it, but don't force interaction.

🩺 If your pet needs emergency care during the celebrations, we’re here for you. 📞Call us at 0208 073 0500 (London) or 0161 394 0942 (Manchester) for out-of-hours support.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and joyful New Year! 🎆🐶🐱

Meet Picklepuss and Mallory, our triage nurse Tina’s purrfect companions! 🐾

Picklepuss (the sassy tabby) and Mallory (the sleek black beauty) have been part of Tina’s family for 15 amazing years. 😻 These resilient fur-babies were rescued after being tossed from a moving car in a cardboard box. 💔 Thankfully, the RSPCA brought them to the clinic where Tina was training, and it was love at first meow! 🩺

Meet Kiwi, our triage nurse’s 8-year-old gold head conure! 🦜 She’s loud, demanding, and definitely not a fan of phones (they’re not for birds, clearly 😅). But when she’s not making a fuss, she’s the ultimate family parrot! 💕

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, filled with love, laughter, and special memories with your loved ones—furry ones included! 🎄🐾Today, we’re celebrating the life of Badu, a very special member of our Emergency Home Vet family and beloved companion of our vet Jil. 🐾✨

Badu was a proper scruffy pup with a big personality—and yes, a little cushingoid flair to match! 🤦‍♀️ Despite his heart condition and a less-than-ideal tolerance for heat, he absolutely adored the beach and soaked up every moment of sunshine in Portugal. 🌊☀️

He lived an incredible 16 years, bringing endless joy and laughter to everyone around him. Badu’s zest for life reminds us of the simple pleasures our furry friends teach us to embrace. Here’s to Badu, the beach-loving, scruffy sweetheart who will always have a place in our hearts! 🐶💛

🎄 Meet Willow, the spirited feline who belongs to Sarah, our North West Head Nurse! 🎅

This festive throwback takes us back 9 whole years to the only time Willow showed her Christmas spirit—as a kitten! 😻 Found abandoned outside a McDonald's, this little fluffball was rescued and given a loving home by Sarah. ❤️ These days, Willow prefers to admire the holiday festivities from a distance (preferably from a cozy spot by the radiator!).

On this Christmas Eve, we’d like to wish all our clients and their furry family members a warm and wonderful holiday! May your evening be filled with joy, love, and plenty of treats (for both humans and pets!). 🎁✨

Got a festive pet story? Share it with us in the comments! 🐾

Tis the season for holiday cheer, but also for pet emergencies. Be aware of common hazards which may make your celebrations less festive. 🎄🐶🐱

🎄🐾 **Meet Velvet!** 🐾🎄

We’re excited to introduce Velvet, the youngest furry member of the Emergency Home Vet team!

This adorable 5 month old long-haired dachshund belongs to our wonderful triage nurse, Ambre, and has settled in beautifully. She brings plenty of character to Ambre’s home, where she’s joined by her fellow sausage-dog siblings. She’s already a much-loved part of the team, and we’re sure she’ll win your hearts too.

Wishing you all a peaceful and happy time on the lead up to Christmas! From Velvet and the rest of us at Emergency Home Vet. 🐾✨
