Lily's Librela Injection

If you have any concerns about your pet’s mobility, please give us a call on 01858462839 to book an appointment to discuss what we can do to help.
Here you can see veterinary surgeon Rachel and her dog, Poppy, practising their paw examination technique 💜💜💜
Rachel encourages owners to touch their pets’ feet to get them used to being examined. Ideally this should be started when they are young.
Many dogs and cats won’t tolerate having their feet touched which makes examining them - especially if they are lame, sore, or have a foreign body - very difficult.
Every pet is different and this should be done gently, at your pet’s pace - they should never feel pressured or afraid.

Muzzle Mindfulness
Muzzled dogs are not necessarily aggressive but could be wearing a muzzle for a variety of reasons.
Dogs might wear muzzles because:
🟣They scavenge and eat dangerous items off the ground.
🟣They are nervous of other dogs and strangers.
🟣They need space – the muzzle keeps humans and dogs away.
🟣They are practising good muzzle skills before their next vet visit.
🟣They are following the law.
Muzzles are a positive and responsible training aid that can help keep dogs and humans safe in many different situations.
A well-fitted muzzle allows your dog to take treats, drink, and pant comfortably.
The Dogs Trust offer a great free resource on how to train your dog to wear a muzzle:

Keeping Your Pets Safe at Halloween - Goodie Bags

Jellyfish Warning
Jellyfish are washing up on many beaches and shorelines right now. Therefore, dog owners must be vigilant and protect their pets from these jellyfish.
Even long-dead jellyfish can sting inquisitive dogs, and, in some cases, this can cause significant pain and swelling. This is of particular concern if the sting occurs in or near the mouth or if your pet has a severe reaction to the sting.
Common signs of jellyfish stings can be sudden onset of pain, vomiting, retching, drooling, and swelling of the face, limbs, mouth, and throat.
If a jellyfish’s tentacle is attached to the skin, use a towel or stick to carefully detach these from the skin – be careful not to touch these yourself!
Please seek vet attention promptly if your dog has been stung, particularly if it involves the mouth/throat.
Adventures in Coombe Park Oadby
With the relocation and expansion of our services in Kibworth, we thought we’d check out the local area.
First stop was at Coombe Park in Oadby where Ivy and Daisy had a ball investigating, and gave us a big thumbs-up 💚💚💚
Give us a shout on 💜 01162793054 if you’d like to book your pet in for an appointment at our new premises in Kibworth.
The new branch boasts four consulting rooms, two operating theatres, a physiotherapy room, laboratory, dental suite, and separate dog and cat wards to reduce the anxiety of feline patients.
It also has a dedicated bereavement room for compassionate end-of-life care where clients can spend time with their pet in a calm, quiet environment at a difficult time. The room is set back from the reception area with its own exit.

The weather will be getting hot again soon, so remember these top hot weather tips for your dogs:
☀ Restrict exercise.
☀ Never leave your dog in a hot car or hot room.
☀ Ensure drinking water and a cool, shaded area is available.
☀ Walk early in the morning or later in the evening.
☀ Spray with cool water if necessary.
Hot Weather Tips for All Pets:
☀ Pets kept in cages or tanks should be kept out of strong sunlight (fish, gerbils, budgies ) as the glass/plastic can magnify the heat.
☀ Artificial grass can get very hot – hose it down or keep paws off.
☀ Residual water in hoses can get heated in the sun – don’t spray anyone without checking.
☀ Avoid stomach upsets caused by rotting food by clearing away uneaten food so that flies cannot lay eggs in it.
☀ Ensure that outdoor pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs have plenty of shade.
☀ If you have a tiled or slate floor, make some room for your snoozing pets. Cats, dogs, even rabbits and guinea pigs will appreciate having something cool to lie on. Make it an even better space to ‘chill’ in by adding an electric fan to circulate cool air during those long summer days!
☀ When it’s hot weather, keep an eye on your pet’s feet: cats and dogs only have sweat glands on their paws, so wet paw prints could mean they’re sweating more than normal and will need more water to stay hydrated.
