🍂Autumn Toxins to Watch Out for in Cats and Dogs

As the weather cools and the leaves change, autumn brings its own set of seasonal hazards for our pets. From toxic plants to common household items, it’s important to be aware of the potential dangers that come with this time of year. Here are some of the most common autumn toxins to watch out for to keep your cats and dogs safe.

🍄1. Mushrooms
While many mushrooms are harmless, certain wild varieties that sprout in the autumn can be highly toxic to pets.

🍂2. Acorns and Oak Leaves
Acorns from oak trees contain tannins, which can be harmful if ingested by dogs or cats. They can cause gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting, diarrhoea.

❄️3. Antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol)
As temperatures drop, many people begin using antifreeze in their cars. Unfortunately, antifreeze is highly toxic to both cats and dogs, and its sweet taste makes it particularly appealing to them. Just a small amount can lead to kidney failure and death.

🪤4. Rodenticides and Pest Control Products
Rodents often seek shelter indoors as the weather gets colder, leading many homeowners to use rodenticides. These products can be deadly if ingested by pets, causing internal bleeding or seizures. Even indirect exposure, such as eating a poisoned rodent, can lead to secondary poisoning in cats.

🍂5. Autumn Plants
Many plants that bloom or drop seeds in autumn can be toxic to pets, including:

🌸Chrysanthemums – Common autumn flowers that can cause drooling, vomiting, and diarrhoea in pets if ingested.
🌲Yew trees – Their berries and leaves contain toxins
🌸Autumn Crocus – This plant is extremely toxic, and ingestion can result in vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, shock, and organ failure.

🍂6. Compost Piles and Mouldy Leaves
As you clean up your gardens, be cautious with compost piles. Decomposing organic material can develop moulds that produce dangerous toxins like tremorgenic mycotoxins. Ingestion of mouldy leaves, compost, or decaying fruit can cause tremors, seizures, and serious neurological damage in both cats and dogs.

🍫7. Chocolate and Seasonal Treats
Halloween is just around the corner, and chocolate is abundant during this season. Chocolate is toxic to both cats and dogs, with dogs being particularly susceptible. Theobromine and caffeine, found in chocolate, can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid heart rate, seizures, and even death. Always keep chocolate and other seasonal sweets out of your pet’s reach.

💊8. Human Medications
As cold and flu season approaches, many homes stock up on over-the-counter medications. Common medications like ibuprofen, cold medicines can be extremely dangerous if ingested by pets, leading to liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, or death. Always store medications out of reach and never give human medications to pets without veterinary guidance.

📝Prevention Tips
Regularly inspect your garden for mushrooms, acorns, mouldy leaves and other potential hazards.
Keep antifreeze and other toxic chemicals securely stored in pet-proof containers.
Be cautious with pest control products, using pet-safe alternatives whenever possible.
Dispose of garden waste properly, and avoid letting your pets roam near compost piles or mouldy leaves.
Keep human food, especially chocolate and sweets, out of your pet’s reach.
If you suspect your pet has ingested any of these autumn toxins, contact your vet or a pet poison control hotline immediately.

By staying aware and taking precautions, you can ensure your pets enjoy a safe and happy autumn!

💊💊 PRESCRIPTION ONLY PARASITE CONTROL💊💊

📅Since January 2024 There has been a new guideline in place from our governing body the on the way we prescribe your pets prescription-only parasite control.

🪱The parasite treatments we have in practice are prescription medications and your pet must have an ACTIVE and DOCUMENTED PLAN which can only be set up by a VET at the time of a PHYSICAL examination before we can authorise these ongoing products.

📅If your pet is due an appointment or vaccination with the VET then please take this opportunity to set up a parasite plan with your vet at the time of your appointment.

📅Since January 2024 we cannot prescribe these products retrospectively. Even if we have seen your pet within the last 12 months, if they do not have an ACTIVE parasiticide prescription, your pet will then require a health check by the vet. 🩺

🙏Please remember this is our GOVERNING BODY and NOT the owner or the frontline staff's decision.

Blindness

Like us pets often experience gradually failing eyesight as they approach their senior years and due to compensation using their other, superior, senses like smell and hearing, gradual sight loss may not be easily noticed by pet owners.
However, there are many other conditions which can cause your pet to go blind relatively suddenly at any age, so it important to be vigilant of sudden changes or symptoms.

Symptoms of acute eyesight loss you may notice are:
• Changes in appearance of the eye
• Confusion/disorientation
• Clumsiness – bumping into things
• Easily startled or nervous
• Slow and cautious movement
• Getting lost outside
• Unable to find toys, food dishes, water etc.
• Not wanting to go out at night
Conditions causing blindness are serious and need urgent treatment if there is any remaining chance to prevent total, permanent vision loss. Blindness can also be a result of many systemic diseases which can be damaging to other organ systems so it extra important to get your pet checked and treated.

Conditions that can cause blindness:
• Tumours in the eye
• Eye injuries
• Glaucoma
• Brain disease – Aneurism, Stroke, Seizures, Tumours or Infection
• General Disease – e.g. diabetes, hyperthyroidism
• Cataracts – more common in: Miniature Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Boston Terriers and Siberian Huskies
• Corneal disease
• Dry eye
• Retinal Disease
• Inflammation inside the eye

Dull, Cloudy or Colour Change

Healthy eyes should be bright, clear and shiny- if your pet’s eye suddenly looks cloudy or opaque this is a sure sign of an eye problem which needs to be examined by a vet!

Most often cloudiness is noticed in the cornea (the clear window at the front of the eye) or the lens- vision may be affected to varying degrees depending on the underlying cause.

Conditions most likely to cause cloudy or opaque eyes:
• Cataracts
• Uveitis- inflammation inside the eye
• Pannus- autoimmune inflammation in the cornea, German Shepherds are predisposed
• Injury or damage to the eye/s
• Corneal ulcers or scratches
• Dry Eye
• Glaucoma
Nuclear Sclerosis is considered a normal ageing change in older pets where the lens takes on a cloudy or blueish haze – it doesn’t affect vision but can often be confused with cataracts on first glance. Your vet can easily distinguish between the two conditions by doing an eye exam.

Redness

Your pet’s eyes are as sensitive as your own, and are just as susceptible to irritation, allergies, injury, and disease. One of the earliest signs of many eye problems is a red eye. If your pet’s eyes appear visibly red or swollen get them checked ASAP by your vet as some causes of a red eye are not only painful but can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated (such as glaucoma).

Common causes of redness:
• Conjunctivitis
• Allergies or irritants
• Foreign object in the eye
• Dry Eye
• Injury
• Uveitis (inflammation inside the eye)
• Corneal Ulcers
• Glaucoma
• Cherry Eye

Asymmetry
Careful observation of the way your pet looks and acts and what is classed as ‘normal’ for them is a first critical step for responsible pet care. Regarding eye health, any perceived changes in your pet’s eyes can be a good indication of whether or not a trip to your vet is warranted.
Do both eyes look like each other, are the face and head symmetrical when comparing right to left?
Useful Observations:
• Do they both look shiny and clear, not dull, cloudy or dry?
• Are the pupils the same size and shape?
• Is one eye squinting?
• Is one eye runny with watery or sticky discharge?
• Is the colour the same? Does one look red? Has the iris suddenly changed colour?
If one eye is showing differences to the other eye, or any of the above clinical signs, please get your pet checked by your vet as soon as possible.

Irritation

Eyes are extremely sensitive and easily irritated – did you know that the cornea has around 20-40 times more nerve endings than the tooth root! And most of us know how painful tooth ache is…
If you believe that your pet is suffering from eye irritation you should contact your vet for advice as irritation can be a sign of eye pain or itchiness.
Symptoms that may suggest that your pet is suffering from eye irritation:
• Pawing/rubbing at their eye/s
• Redness
• Squinting or excessive blinking
• Excessive tear staining
• Sticky or runny discharge
• Light sensitivity
• Swollen skin around the eyes
• Dullness or cloudiness of the eye
• Different pupil sizes

Some common reasons which may cause eye irritation in your pet:
• Allergies
• Conjunctivitis
• Foreign object in the eye
• Eyelid Abnormalities
• Trauma
• Corneal scratches/ulcers
• Irritants – smoke, shampoo etc
• Dry eye (poor tear film)

Eye problems can be very painful and go from bad to worse very quickly so don’t delay in seeking advice and treatment from your vet!

🐈‍⬛Adopt a Black Cat from Your Local RSPCA or Shelter: Break the Myths, Find a Friend

🐈‍⬛Black cats are often misunderstood, overshadowed by centuries-old superstitions. Sadly, these myths have resulted in lower adoption rates for black cats, as they are frequently overlooked in shelters. But we know the truth—black cats are just as loving, playful, and deserving of a forever home as any other cat. Now is the perfect time to break the stigma and welcome a beautiful black cat into your life.

🐈‍⬛Why Adopt a Black Cat?
Loyal and Loving Companions: Black cats are known to be affectionate, often forming strong bonds with their owners. Whether they’re curling up on your lap or following you around the house, these sleek felines make for incredibly loyal companions.

🐈‍⬛Break the Superstitions: Many cultures view black cats as symbols of good fortune and protection. By adopting a black cat, you not only gain a loving pet but also help dispel outdated myths, showing that every animal deserves a chance, regardless of colour.

🐈‍⬛Easier to Adopt: Because black cats are often overlooked in shelters, adopting one can help reduce overcrowding. By opening your home to a black cat, you're giving a deserving animal a second chance at a happy life.

🐈‍⬛Mysterious and Beautiful: Black cats have a unique beauty—sleek, shiny coats and striking eyes that give them an air of mystery and elegance. They’re perfect for anyone who loves a pet with personality and flair.

Why Visit Your Local RSPCA or Shelter?
When you adopt from the RSPCA or a local shelter, you’re not just giving a cat a home—you’re also:

🐈‍⬛Saving a Life: By adopting, you’re making room for more animals to be rescued and cared for, helping shelters continue their vital work.
Receiving a Healthy, Ready-to-Go Pet: Shelter animals are typically spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and given a clean bill of health before they’re available for adoption.
Supporting Animal Welfare: Adoption fees help shelters provide food, medical care, and housing to animals in need, ensuring that every pet receives the love and attention they deserve.

Call your local RSPCA 01908611179

🌿 Why Do Indoor Cats Need Access to Grass? 🌿

Even though your kitty lives indoors, they still benefit from having access to grass! Here’s why:

Aids Digestion: Grass helps with digestion and can make it easier for your cat to pass hairballs.
Natural Instinct: Cats have an instinct to nibble on plants—grass provides a safe option that satisfies this urge.
Nutritional Boost: Grass contains folic acid, which supports energy production and healthy blood circulation.
Eases Constipation: The fiber in grass acts as a natural laxative, helping with your cat’s digestive health.
💡 Try growing cat-safe grass indoors (like wheatgrass or oat grass) to give your feline friend a safe and healthy way to enjoy this natural behavior! 🌱🐾

10th September 2024 is World su***de prevention day.
Did you know the su***de rate for vets is four times the national average. With new research showing nearly 70% of vets have lost a colleague or peer to su***de and about six in 10 have sought professional help for their own mental health.
So today we are reaching out to all of the veterinary community to say-its okay not to be okay!

Vetlife provides a 24/7 phone and email helpline, as well as information and resources. Call 0303 040 2551 for Independent, confidential and free help for everyone in the veterinary community including veterinary nurses, students and non-clinical staff.

Or you can contact Samaritans on 116 123.

What do Samaritans do about su***de prevention?
Every year they campaign with over 70 other su***de prevention and mental health groups under the National Su***de Prevention Alliance (NSPA). Together, we ask governments in the UK and Ireland to make su***de prevention a priority.

This theme also emphasizes the need to prioritize su***de prevention and mental health in policy making, calling for government action. Changing the narrative requires advocating for policies that prioritize mental health, increase access to care, and provide support for those in need.

World Su***de Prevention Day (WSPD) was established in 2003 by the International Association for Su***de Prevention in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO). The 10 September each year aims to focus attention on the issue, reduces stigma and raises awareness among organizations, governments, and the public, giving a singular message that su***des are preventable.

It’s important to talk and write about su***de safely and responsibly. Using the right language around su***de is key to breaking down stigma. When we use our words carefully we can create a safe environment for people to open up.

Preparing Your Tortoise for Hibernation: Expert Advice from Our Vet, Ben
As the colder months approach, it's essential to start thinking about your tortoise's hibernation. This period is crucial for their health, and proper preparation can make all the difference.
Our resident vet, Ben, who has a special interest in exotic animals, is here to ensure your tortoise is in peak condition before settling down for the winter.
Why a Pre-Hibernation Check is Vital
Before your tortoise enters hibernation, it’s important to have them checked by a veterinarian who understands the unique needs of these reptiles. Ben has extensive experience with tortoises and will thoroughly assess your pet to make sure they are ready for hibernation. This check-up typically includes:
• Health Assessment: Ben will examine your tortoise for any signs of illness or injury. Hibernating with an underlying health issue can be dangerous, even fatal, for tortoises.
• Weight Check: Ensuring your tortoise has a healthy weight is crucial. Tortoises lose some weight during hibernation, so it's important they have enough reserves to last the entire period.
Ben is here to support you through every step of the hibernation process. Ben's expertise with exotic animals ensures that your tortoise receives the best possible care. If you have any questions or need to schedule a pre-hibernation check, don't hesitate to contact us.

📢 Important Update Regarding Parasite Treatment Reminders! 🐾

If you’ve received a reminder for your pet's parasite treatment, please call us first rather than popping into the practice. All of our parasite treatments are prescription only and need to be authorised by one of our veterinary surgeons.

Once the prescription is approved, our nursing team will order and dispense the medication, and we'll notify you by text or email when it’s ready for collection. Please allow at least 72 hours for us to complete this process.

Save yourself the time and don’t come in until you’ve received our confirmation! 🐕🐈

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 👍

30/08/2024

🍂🐶Are conkers poisonous to dogs?
Yes. Conkers contain a toxin called aesculin, which can cause a dog to be sick or may upset their stomach. If enough is eaten it can also produce more serious effects, and in rare cases can be deadly.
Conkers taste quite bitter, so it’s unlikely that most dogs will eat enough to make them very ill. Eating small amounts may give your dog an upset stomach, but larger amounts could make your dog quite unwell. Very serious effects can occur, but they are rare.
A conker’s toxicity will vary from tree to tree and year to year and is dependent on a number of different factors. How your dog is affected by this toxin will also depend on their size, how much they’ve eaten, when they last ate, how much they chew up the conker and if they have any other health issues.

What happens if my dog chews a conker?
After eating a conker, your dog may start to become unwell between one and six hours later. In rare circumstances these effects can be delayed by a few days.
Symptoms include:
🐾Being sick – may contain blood
🐾An upset stomach
🐾Dribbling
🐾Stomach pain
🐾Being thirsty
🐾Not wanting to eat their food
🐾Being restless
🐾Not walking in a straight line
🐾Shaking or tremors
🐾Not being able to move
Poisoning is not the only risk from these seeds. Conkers are large and hard and could cause your dog to choke on them or could block their stomach or gut.
If your dog has eaten conkers, then you should contact us for advice. If you’re unsure whether your dog has eaten them, but they’re showing some of the common signs, then you should speak to your vet. Never try to make your dog sick as this can be dangerous and may cause other problems.

😽Feline Fursday!🐈
Letting your cat/kitten outside for the first time?

Before allowing your new kitten or cat outside, ensure it has a microchip, vaccinated and neutered.

Choose a dry day (if possible) and a quiet time when you can accompany your kitten outside, allowing it to explore the new environment. Excitements, such as other cats, dogs which might bark or children screaming in the neighbour’s garden, are best avoided for the first couple of excursions so that your kitten (or cat) can concentrate on you and isn’t spooked. Continue to accompany your kitten until it is used to your garden and can find its way back to the house without difficulty.
If you have adopted an adult cat you probably will have been advised to keep it in for 2-3 weeks to settle into its new home.
Accompany your cat outside but don’t be alarmed if it disappears into some shrubbery; this is a normal strategy to enable it to get acclimatised to its new environment in a place where it can observe without being seen. Leave the back door open initially and, after 30-60 minutes, call your cat indoors for its meal and then repeat the following day.
