Yesterday I cared for a beautiful whippet who was fortunate to be adopted by her owner from The Ark. Lucy’s owner actively chose to give an older dog a home. At the age of 10, Lucy was given a lovely retirement home filled with care. Her owner was obviously heart broken, when Lucy received a terminal diagnosis earlier in the year, only one year after being adopted. How incredibly valuable it is to give a home to an older dog. How fortunate Lucy was. So much respect for her owner 💗💕💗💔

Reflecting on a week which really reminded me of the importance of a dog companion in the formative years of our children.
A beautiful Black Labrador who helped his young person through a childhood of difference and difficulties. Giving that unwavering, unconditional love and permanence when other parts of her life were less certain. She had the courage to be there with him as he was released at the end of a long and happy life. 💔
And only yesterday, I was blown away by the presence and bravery of a young teenage boy who had (as an only child) lived all his life with his yellow Labrador friend. Played as a toddler in the garden, on the beach in Cornwall and later confided in him.. His loving, caring commentary and gentle touch eased his friend out of this life. Such a lovely, articulate and wise young person. 💕

I am writing an article on How Pets grieve, the behaviours they can show, how they differ from each other and how to best support them during this period. I would love to hear your experiences and opinions on this subject please 💕
Thank you

Buttons is very arthritic and stiff. She has really taken to her physio sessions with Mel - very relaxed ☺️
Lovely Buttons is an elderly lady who has veterinary Physiotherapy to help her to stay mobile. As her owner says, everything is on their terms with cats.
Buttons accepts her treatments with a generous supply of lick-e-lix, pet remedy and support and cuddles from her family.

Every. Single. Time. I drive away from a home, where a family have said goodbye to a beloved pet companion, my heart feels heavy. The only reason I (and many other vets) can do this, is knowing we have the privilege to release animals from the unhappy last days of terminal illness or advanced age. 🐾♥️💔🌈
Sometimes a rainbow is there to remind us..💕

This little ‘butter wouldn’t melt’ so and so, gave us all a heart attack yesterday. She decided to stay away for 24 hours, while we all searched, shouted, whistled, took the working spaniel to search the hedges and ditches and expected the worst (she never stays out long anymore, she much prefers the sofa these days)..
At 9.30pm she walked in as if nothing had ever happened 🥳She is now catching up on some sofa time!! 💤

This week was my cat’s turn to have a bit of extra TLC. We rehomed her from Ashbourne Animal Welfare 12 years ago and in her mid-teens she struggles a lot with arthritis of her elbows and hips. She has monthly injections and daily medications to control her pain and make her mobility easier. Mel from Phoenix veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation came to check her over, recommend some passive exercises and give her some time on the magnetic therapy pads. Buttons was very relaxed and co-operative - anything that could contribute to her increased comfort is worth trialling.💕🐾🐈

Last week I was called, on Sunday, to a beautiful Collie. She had lived all her life in the same house and home. During her long and healthy life she had never had to travel to the vets. She passed away peacefully with her owner stroking and talking to her, outside in her familiar yard. RIP beautiful Betty 💕 Thinking of her owner 💔

A lot of my clients find me through referral from their regular vet, when they are unavailable for home visits, typically evenings or weekends, but often during the busy working week.
Many people also book with me directly. If you are concerned that your pet is approaching end-of-life and want advice, please get in touch.
I cover Derby, Matlock, Wirksworth, Burton, Chesterfield and surrounding areas. I can be flexible to allow appointment times to suit you.

WHY IS MY ELDERLY DOG DOING THAT?
So many elderly dogs suffer from the effects of brain aging, also known as Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) or Dementia. One study estimates that most dogs over 11 years of age have at least one sign of CDS and dogs over 15 years will show most signs.
Early signs can be recognised as -
Changes in behaviour.
Night time waking / vocalisation
Toiletting in the house
Increased anxiety.
Modifications around their home can help manage these changes and make life easier for your dog.
Specific dietary changes and medications from your vet can also benefit.
We know that dogs that are kept fit and active (walked regularly, take part in activities such as agility / sports are less likely to suffer symptoms.
Signs of CDS can make signs of other diseases more difficult to diagnose.
Although dogs can suffer from 'mini strokes' (transient vascular abnormalities in the brain) the most common sudden neurological episode see in elderly dogs is the Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome. These older dogs can suddenly appear very disorientated, nauseous and wobbly. This is definitely a time when talking to a vet for support can benefit. If you are concerned about your dog, please get in touch.

TOP TIPS FOR SENIOR PET WELLNESS Part 2 - Lumps and Bumps www.daisyvetcare.co.uk Lumps and bumps are very common in older dogs and cats. They don’t always mean cancer. I say this as many people are very anxious when they discover a lump on their pet. There are certain lumps that can be common in young dogs too – your vet can guide you as to which need intervention and which can be left and observed. Some lumps are easy to see, others are discovered by feel alone. The most common type of lump can be a benign (non-cancerous) fatty lump or lipoma. Lipomas can be singular, multiple and sometimes grow very fast. The size and location can mean that they are better removed to prevent future problems. Fatty lumps can be distinguished relatively easily by your vet by feel and sampling using a fine needle. Other skin lumps can be more concerning and need a biopsy to guide the best management option for you and your pet. I usually like to know and keep an eye on.. 1. How quickly the lump is growing? You can use calipers to measure size and take regular photos 2. is there any impact on your pet? Are they rubbing at the lump or the area? Is it painful? 3. is the overlying skin sore or pink? Is there hair loss and is the lump bleeding? Even very small lumps in sensitive locations need to be assessed early to accurately guide management. E.g lumps around eyes and eyelids. Lumps around the teats and underside of female dogs and cats should always be checked. In cats especially, these can often be cause for concern. Lumps on the skin can be due to benign growths, infections, trauma, excessive licking, painful joints, cysts of skin structures. The nasty or malignant lumps do occur but are less common. Some breeds of dogs are more commonly affected by skin cancer. The best course of action is a vet check in the beginning to put your mind at rest. Almost every lump, no matter what the cause is easier to manage when small and early on, than when it has become large or started to b

Senior Pet Wellness Paws and Claws A few things can really help comfort levels in our older pets Claws • Keep claws a healthy length • Overlong claws are more likely to get damaged or torn. Whilst standing on a smooth flat surface, the tip of the dog’s claw should be just lifted from the floor. Touching the floor or causing a push back of the toe is an indicator of the claws being overlong. Overlong claws can change the way weight is born through a digit and lead to joint pain and degenerative changes. If claws are overgrown, Why? Is your dog avoiding weight bearing due to a problem further up the limb, are they bearing weight asymmetrically on the foot? What can you do? • Using a nail file can help imitate natural claw wear. • Clipping claws with appropriate size and type of nail clippers • If the claws appear flaky, crumbly, dry or are breaking easily, something more could be going on • Dew claws can be more prone to overgrowth and damage through catching Between the toes can be affected by • Matted fur, grass seeds, cysts and abscesses. • Hair can be protective but needs cleaning and checking regularly, • Too much hair can increase problems and cause a slippery walking surface (like walking in socks) • Any swellings, lumps and bumps around feet should be checked out by your vet Pads • can be susceptible to blisters, cracking cuts and corns • sore paws make weight bearing on a rough surface more uncomfortable and lead to the slight lifting of the foot at rest. • Beware of gritted pavements and paths – heavily salted surfaces can be irritating to a dog’s skin. Rinse feet when they come in. • Older dogs can often develop arthritis in their toes – they benefit greatly from pain relief. • A foot boot can be a useful bit of equipment to keep in your pet first aid kit. CATS Older cats are more likely to be affected by joint pain. This makes it difficult for a cat to stretch their front legs and scratch to shed the claw layer
