Dogs are natural scavengers. It’s an inbuilt survival instinct that in modern times, and particularly in our homes, can cause serious issues for our pets when they ingest things they shouldn’t.

Foreign bodies are a regular cause for concern for owners here at . A foreign body is any non-food object that can’t pass through the gastrointestinal tract.

A more recent event was that of Ralph whose owner was worried because he hadn’t p**ped for 24 hours, was lethargic and wasn’t eating. All of this was out of character and alerted them to a problem.

Thankfully the team were quick to recognise the symptoms and after confirmation through an x-ray, operated to remove two large stones which he’d ingested.

Within a day he had started to eat and p**p and gradually improve over the next few days.

Catching the signs early is key to a positive outcome so if you are concerned that your pet may have eaten something they shouldn’t contact the team on 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352.

that stress has been identified as the most significant trigger for cat behavioral problems AND some common diseases?

There are two types of stress; acute and chronic. In acute stress the signs may be:

Immobility
Rapid breathing
Tail close to the body
Ears flattened back on the head
Hissing, growling.

Acute stress is usually in response to an unexpected event and is usually more obvious.

Chronic stress is much more difficult to recognise as it can develop and build over time. The signs may be:

Inappropriate urination or defecation.
Urine spraying indoors
Over grooming
Defensive aggression towards people or other cats.

What causes a cat stress is different for every cat. Sharing resources, such as litter trays or food, moving home, other pets or a large cat community are just some causes.

Head over to our website and download our factsheet on stress in cats - https://bit.ly/3RXi7Yu

You can also find good quality information on all things cats, at the International Cat Care website https://bit.ly/4dyl5dB

If you need help with your cat’s behaviour, open a chat on PetsApp or call 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352 to book in.

There are some items that might start to enter our homes as the months creep in, some of which are potentially poisonous to our pets.

Cough, cold and flu treatments can contain a variety of drug ingredients and, eaten in enough quantity, can be a real risk to your pet. If you think your pet has consumed anything that may be toxic, immediately contact your vet and bring the packaging.

#didyouknow that cats and dogs can suffer from #diabets just like humans! When your pet eats, carbohydrates are converted into several types of simple sugars, one of which is glucose. This is absorbed through the intestines into the blood where it travels to cells. Insulin is required for the transfer of the glucose from the blood to the cells so it can be used for energy. If there’s too little insulin available, glucose can’t enter cells and instead builds up to a high concentration in the bloodstream. If your pet has any of the following symptoms, you may need to book in with a vet: • Urinating more than usual • Drinking lots of water • Always hungry • Weight loss • Dull or dry coat • Sleeping more or less active Contact the team via PetsApp or by calling 01772 639800 OR 01253 766352. #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #doglovers #catlovers #cute #pets #puppy #animals #photooftheday #instagood #nofilter #picoftheday #healthypets #pethealthplan #diabetesinpets #winterpoisons #foreignbodies #christmas #newyear2024

Wound Management at Rowan Vets

This #handsome boy is Murphy who had a wound in a really awkward place. Wounds can be notoriously difficult to heal in our pets. There are various reasons for this; underlying medical conditions, chewed bandages, movement and/or slippage of bandages and infection, to name a few. With time and patience, it can be done and our Clinical Lead, Hayley, is nothing but persistent! Hayley has a qualification in emergency and critical care, a part of which was wound management. With Hayley’s skills, knowledge and determination and a team effort which included the owner, you can see the progress of Murphy’s healing wound. In just over 5 weeks, he’s now a very happy boy #success #rowanvets #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #doglovers #catlovers #cute #pets #puppy #animals #photooftheday #instagood #nofilter #picoftheday #healthypets #pethealthplan

#20YearsOfVNAM #VNAM2024 #WhatVNsDo

May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, 2024 being the 20th anniversary since the campaign began. A focus of this year’s awareness is the importance of protecting, by law, the title of Veterinary Nurse. We wanted to share #rowanvets views on why this is so important to us and how it feeds into our quality of standards that we provide for our clients and patients. As a training practice we are proud of the quality of training we provide to students working towards this qualification. Once qualified, our Registered Veterinary Nurse’s contribute massively to the standards of care offered to our patients, many of whom go on to hold their own clinics and undertake further, specialist training. RVNs work extremely hard to qualify. Many work a full time job whilst studying during an intensive two years of both practical and theoretical learning. This culminates in written examinations and an intensive practical demonstration of their learning, knowledge, understanding and practical application of those skills. Here at #rowanvets our RVNs go on to develop their skills and knowledge and are actively encouraged to do so. This is often to a level where even the vets will seek advice and support on clinical cases from our RVNs. Not protecting this qualification allows the quality of care and advice for animals to be diminished and we wholeheartedly support the protection of the qualification and title by law. Our short video demonstrates some of what our team do in practice and we’d love for you to celebrate them with us. You can find out more about the campaign at the link https://bvna.org.uk/project/bvna-protect-the-title-campaign/ #rowanvets #vetsinpreston #vetsinblackpool #vetsinlytham #vetsinkirkham #vetsinwarton #vetsinfreckelton #animals #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #doglovers #catlovers #cute #pets #puppy #animals #photooftheday #instagood #nofilter #picoftheday #healthypets #pethealthplan #vetlife #love #bekind #parasites #fleas #ticks
