East Lincs Emergency Vets

02/12/2024

The festive season is full of excitement, but it can also bring hidden dangers for our pets. At East Lincs Emergency Vets, we often see pets in need of urgent care over Christmas due to common seasonal hazards. Here are a few things to watch out for:

🚫 Toxic foods – Chocolate, mince pies, grapes, and raisins are all harmful to pets, so keep festive treats out of reach!
⚠️ Decorations – Tinsel, ribbons, and small ornaments can cause blockages if swallowed.
🌿 Plants – Mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias are beautiful, but can be toxic if eaten by curious pets.
🎁 Gifts & wrapping – Batteries from toys or gifts can be dangerous if ingested, so keep presents away from pets until they're opened!

If you face a pet emergency this Christmas, remember that East Lincs Emergency Vets is here to help. Wishing you and your furry friends a safe and joyful holiday season! 🐾

🐶 After more than four hours of gentle straining.
🐶 After more than half an hour of forceful pushing.

Young Charlie found himself in a ‘spot’ of bother when he helped himself to rather a lot of pig food (4.3kg to be exact!) mixed with the water he drank, his stomach swelled to a very uncomfortable size. After an X-ray, a quick anaesthetic and a tube placed into his stomach all content was safely removed and Charlie made a full recovery.

Charlie belongs to one of our emergency Veterinary Nurses and she says ‘Accidents happen to us all. Even if I had all the knowledge in the world, logic goes out of the window when it is one of your own but the emergency team was so supportive in calming me down and acting quickly to get Charlie’s problem under control. I’m so grateful for our amazing team. I would like to say Charlie has learned from this but knowing him, he will be spending the night at work with me again!’

Do you ever wonder what sort of urgent problems our Emergency vet team has to deal with over a weekend ?

Well here are two 'things' that had to be removed by our vets and nurses over the last 2 weeks.

Firstly - a pig's earache that was lodged in the back of the throat causing an obstruction. It was buried deep at the top of the oesophagus and was removed under general anaesthesia.

Secondly - the 'squeakers' out of squeaky toys - you know how some dogs like to destroy their toys - well ..... some dogs also like to 'destroy' or consume the thing making the noise. They were surgically removed from the stomach of a dog (under general anaesthesia). You can see that some of them are much darker and we think had been sitting in the stomach for a while from a previous 'squeaky toy destruction session'.

Seizures in pets can be extremely distressing for both pet and owner. Scooping the pet up and bundling them in the car is not usually the best thing to do, even if as an owner, you are eager for veterinary support. Seizures can be made worse by stimulation of any kind such as light, noise, movement etc. Here’s what to do:

🩺 Remain calm, take a deep breath
🩺 Make a mental note of the time
🩺 Place them at floor level if they are not already
🩺 Clear space around your pet of any items
🩺 Make the environment, cool, dark, and quiet
🩺 Time the seizure

When to call your vet? Once the seizure has finished, or after 2 minutes of seizuring.

The beautiful Ella would like to show off her cute middle of the night delivery 🥰

Ella was struggling with delivering her huge puppies so we was here to give her a helping hand to deliver them by c-section.

She recovered so well, filled her boys bellies, had her ‘tea and toast’ and was discharged shortly after to begin her motherhood journey.

We are here every night 365 days a year to help with any middle of the night emergency 🚨
