This little beauty was super brave today! I mean she only had her normal vaccinations but she’s always been incredibly fearful at the vets, so much so that she’s muzzled when we go. But the wonderful vet Charlotte, spent so much time just trying to make her feel comfortable that Lola ended up sitting on her knee at one point 🤣
Massive thanks to the girls at Ashfield House Vets in Spondon, she’s been sleepy all afternoon but it’s the first time she’s not been completely traumatised by a vet visit!

Today, at my Ashfield House Veterinary Hospital Ltd clinic, I had the pleasure of rechecking Atlas following on from his hindlimb surgery.
He has shown great progress since starting his rehabilitation, and is now starting to enjoy longer walks.
It’s always fun when my patients are almost the size of me!🐾

Meet Latte 🥰.
The team here have been seeing a lot of Latte over the last 6 months. She originally came in to the hospital to investigate a mass on her tongue. Following tests it was confirmed that Latte required Chemotherapy.
She has been an absolute star throughout her treatment and she still enjoys coming in to take advantage of that treat jar.
We are pleased to announce that she has now completed her treatment course 🥳🥳

☀️ Please take care in the hot weather! ☀️ While most people know that leaving dogs in hot cars can have catastrophic effects, most people don’t realise that exercise induced heatstroke is actually very common. Last year, we had several dogs presented to us suffering from heatstroke. Sadly not all recovered. All of these cases were dogs that had been taken on a walk or were running around in the garden playing with toys. ⚠️ Frenchies, Pugs, Bulldogs and other flat-faced breeds are particularly at risk ⚠️ Please take care in the heat, and be mindful when walking your dog or playing in the garden.

How do I brush my pets' teeth? Patience, reassurance and praise go a long way in giving your pet perfect pearly whites. Watch our handy step by step guide on how to go about it below. 📹 You could win a Virbac dental hamper via our SMILE comp. 😲 See our pinned post! #NationalPetDentalMonth

FOCUS ON SPOTTING THE SIGNS FELINE OA PAIN 😿 Arthritis is a chronic condition caused when the normal joint tissues degenerate (or wear away), leading to pain and ongoing damage. Arthritis in our pets is sadly very common. Around 40% of all cats will show signs of arthritis and more than 90% of cats older that 12 years have signs consistent with arthritis when looking at x-rays of their joints. If left untreated, the pain will become worse over time. Despite how common arthritis is in cats, it is underdiagnosed. Globally, only around 13% of cats with arthritis will receive a diagnosis and therefore, treatment for their chronic pain. So why is this number so low? 😿 The nature of the cat’s behaviour means they tend to hide signs of illness or pain. In the wild, showing signs of illness would make them vulnerable to predation from other animals and this behaviour has carried over to our pet cats. Whilst beneficial in the wild, this is not helpful in a home environment. It means that illnesses can be well advanced before we notice anything is wrong. 😿 Another reason why arthritis in cats is not easy to spot, is due to the common misconception that slowing down or being less active is a normal change as cats get older. This is not the case. If you cat becomes less active, shows less interest in or a reluctance to play, this could be a sign that your cat is suffering from arthritis. However, if we are aware of the behaviours (or lack thereof) associated with arthritis in cats, we can spot the signs earlier, meaning we can ensure our cats are comfortable, more mobile and have a good quality of life 😺 What signs can I look for? MOBILITY: Your cat may be reluctant to: • jump up or down onto or off of surfaces • Go up and/or down stairs • Jump or climb into/onto their favourite bed • Play • Use scratching posts (or other substrates) BEHAVIOUR: Your cat may be: • Grumpy or less happy with people and other animals in the house • More withdrawn

Pet Passports are no longer available if you live in the UK and are looking to take your pet abroad. Animal Health Certificate (AHC) is what you will now need. We’ve detailed what an AHC is, what you will need to do and how we can help in the video below. We are OV registered here at Ashfield House Vets and can help you get ready for your holiday!

How can you help combat separation anxiety in your dog? Encourage them to become independent! Tina the Vet explains below:

Did you know that lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is transmitted by slugs and snails? Your dog can become infected by swallowing one of these critters, or even by accidently ingesting the slime that they leave behind. This can happen more easily than you think...often when your dog is just ‘being a dog’ - rummaging in the undergrowth, eating grass, playing with toys left outdoors or drinking from outdoor water bowls or puddles! They best way to protect them is with monthly preventatives – speak to us to find out more.

🐌 Lungworm in dogs can be deadly but it is preventable 🐌 We include monthly protection against lungworm as part of our Health Care Gold Club plan, so speak to us to find out more!

❌ Deadly lungworm is still on the rise with 2871 cases now reported in the UK! ❌ Transmitted by slugs and snails, lungworm can be fatal to dogs. It is preventable though, but only with a monthly, vet-prescribed product. Give us a call on 0115 972 7050 to learn more - we offer lungworm cover as standard on our Gold Club preventative products 😊
