WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PET GETS BITTEN BY AN ADDER❗️❗️ It's adder season and cases of adder bites are beginning to come in. It is important pet owners are aware of adder bites and what to do if you think your pet has experienced an adder bite.

Adders usually live in (but not limited to):
-Sand dunes
-Hillsides
-Rocky areas
-Moors
-Woodland areas
Adders hibernate from October and usually emerge from hibernation in the early spring – as soon as it gets sunny! They eat lizards, small mammals and sometimes birds; they rarely bite humans or dogs but when this does happen, it is likely out of self-defence.

If you don’t see the incident or hear any uproar when it occurs, you may notice the following symptoms later on. Symptoms may include (but not limited to):

-Severe swelling around the site of the wound
-Visible pain
-Bleeding or bruising
-Inflammation from the spread of venom
-Increased heartrate or quickened breathing
-Drooling
-Vomiting
-Lethargy or general weakness

What should I do?

It’s important to remain calm. 96% of bitten dogs make a full recovery in as little as five days.

If your dog is yelping or frightened, don’t further their feelings of distress by panicking alongside them. Firstly, you should try to keep your dog still to avoid the venom spreading throughout their body. If you’re able to do so, carry them home or back to the car – the less your dog moves, the less chance the poison gets to travel through their bloodstream. This will also minimise the risk of movement-related pain, especially if your dog has been bitten on the paw or leg. Contact your vet as soon as possible. If you are away on holiday, contact the nearest vets for assistance.

Treatment will depend on the severity of the bite. A painkiller might suffice, or if your dog has been really badly bitten, the vet may recommend antihistamines or a treatment for shock. If your dog’s symptoms are severe, anti-venom may also be administered if it’s available.

Share to raise awareness with your own friends and family!

Would you like to learn a new skill with your dog, using their primary sense of smell? Dogs interpret the world through smell so we dont need to teach them how to sniff or how to smell but we can teach them to search for a specific target odour and by doing this you can provide a great activity for both yourself and your dog, working together as a team, that will build focus and engagement. The next 4 week course starts on Saturday 20th May at 2pm. Each lesson is 2pm-3.30pm. A mini scent kit is included in the price. The 4 week course including scent kit costs £99. book your place now by clicking on this link https://theogwelldogtrainer.co.uk/product/uksnifferdogs/

UPDATE:
So the figure shown here is incorrect as the £4k donation has been rescinded (as we'd been aware might happen).
However, the amazing total of nearly £2k WAS enough to pay for all of Krusty's medical treatment, so thank you all so very much! 👏💞👏

UPDATE : Saturday 20.22
Our boy is doing incredibly well thanks to Steph & Krysten!
Video in comments!

UPDATE: Saturday 15.59
So, Krusty has had a feeding tube inserted. No specialist help was available on a weekend 🙄 so our amazing vet team are keeping him in over the weekend, despite not usually doing this 👏👏👏
His traumatic cleft can be seen in the new photos in comments.
He's stable, pain-free and rehydrated🤞🤞🤞

Update Saturday 13.17:

All is not as simple as it seemed.
Now that the cat has been sedated, it looks like he HAS been in an rta.
He has something called a traumatic cleft palate, multiple haematomas and a broken jaw. Our vets are now calling various specialist centres to see who can take him in for the unusual surgery and to fit a feeding tube.
It's going to be an expensive case so please keep giving if you can 💞

We've just received a telephone call from our vets.
A cat has been handed in to them as the finder thought he'd been in an rta.
He hadn't.
He just looks like he has 😿

We were asked if we could take him on.
Of course we will!

Meet Krusty.

This dear boy is horrendously dehydrated, covered in infected abcesses and generally in a shocking state.
Our vets initially thought he was drooling but in fact, it's pus pouring from his mouth, from yet another infected abcess.
He can barely breathe through his nose, and must be feeling simply dreadful.
He's unchipped and unneutered.
He's being kept in overnight for fluids, pain relief and antibiotics.
The vets have called him Krusty but I'm keen to hear alternatives 🙄.
Please, if you can give just £2.50 to help, it would be so very much appreciated by us all 🙏

What is Scent Work and what does it involve? We teach our dog to seek out and find different scents hidden in various environments, both indoors and outside. It is great for providing mental stimulation. What does this mean? Simply that you have a way of providing fun entertainment for your dog in your house or out on a walk that builds focus, provides fun for both yourself and your dog and tires your dog out mentally. Get in touch for more info.

Meet Rocket, Milly and Tilly! 🐾😍
Rocket (M), Milly (F) and Tilly (F) are three very sweet Jack Russell Terriers who were all found as strays together. They are a really close little group and would love to find a nice new home together. They are approximately 3 years old.

They are really sweet dogs but may not have lived in a house before and have not seen much of a normal doggie life. As a result they are quite nervous and are looking for new owners who have the time to spend helping them to adjust. They need to be the only pets in the home and can live with children aged 14+.

Could you offer this lovely trio the lovely new home they dream of?
