Do you know how to spot blue-green algae?

Exposure to blue-green algae can cause long-term health problems in pets and can even be fatal. By drinking from or swimming in contaminated water, pets are at a high risk of becoming seriously ill.

Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet is at risk of blue-green algae poisoning. For more information of what to look out for and how to protect your pet, read our advice article here: https://bit.ly/3LqTmA4

Over the summer, our vets see a lot of dogs who have issues because of grass seeds. It is important to contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has an injury caused by a grass seed.

If walking your dog in long grass or woodland areas, we recommend checking your dog over and brushing away any grass seeds after the walk is done. Pay particular attention to paws, ears, eyes, and armpits.

To learn more about grass seeds, and our four simple steps for dealing with them, read our helpful advice article here: https://bit.ly/3zAdaOP

Do you have questions about neutering your cat? It's something we strongly advise as it has many benefits for them and helps to tackle the number of stray cats in the UK.

Female cats will benefit from reduced risk of unwanted pregnancy, certain health conditions and even certain types of cancer. For male cats, neutering reduces their urge to fight other males, lessening the chance of certain diseases, and it also means they are less likely to mark their territory around your home.

๐Ÿพ Help and shares required ๐Ÿพ

We have a dog and a cat in the clinic that were found straying today (at separate times)

-The dog is a sighthound found near to the centre of Bury (no more details will be released to ensure the right owner is found)

-The cat has very distinctive markings. We have posted a picture of some of the catโ€™s markings below. (Again, the owner will be able to confirm the rest of the markings)

Neither of these beauties are chipped.

Please could the local community share this post to get them back home?

Thank you so much ๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s important to keep your pet hydrated all year round as it delivers lots of benefits to your pets health, but especially during the warmer months. Cats and dogs both sweat through their paw pads, so as theyโ€™ll do this more now itโ€™s hot, they will need to be provided with more fresh water. ๐Ÿ’ง

Read our tips below on keeping your pet hydrated and how to spot the symptoms of dehydration in your dog, cat or rabbit.

Pets can develop skin allergies at any age, so it's important to make sure you know the signs and symptoms. Dogs may start scratching excessively, whereas cats may start licking their belly, back, or behind their legs more than usual.

The most common skin allergy is called atopic dermatitis, and although it's a lifelong condition, it can be controlled and managed, meaning your pet can lead a normal and healthy life. Treatments may include medication, supplements, or even newer monoclonal antibody treatments.

The law is changing - from 10 June 2024, cats in England must be microchipped and registered on a database by the time theyโ€™re 20 weeks old. The penalty for not microchipping your cat could be a ยฃ500 fine. A microchipped cat has a much higher chance of being reunited - please microchip your cat. We're offering a 25% discount of microchipping until the end of June. Book an appointment today. https://www.medivetgroup.com/vet-practices/

What better way to participate this yearโ€™s than to spend some time with your pets?

This yearโ€™s theme, Movement: moving for our mental health, encourages people to move in a way that suits them. Whether youโ€™re taking your dog for a walk or playing games with your cat, being physically active is great for our minds and bodies. It's also a great way to bond with your pet.

Increased physical activity is not the only mental health benefit of spending time with your pet. Read our article on the six other mental health benefits of being a pet owner here: https://www.medivetgroup.com/pet-care/pet-advice/six-ways-pet-ownership-benefits-your-mental-health/

Dogs can pick up kennel cough multiple times throughout their lives, but in most cases, they can recover in a few weeks.

During this time, you should encourage your dog to rest and avoid collar and lead activity as it could put more strain on their respiratory system. You should talk to your vet if your dogโ€™s cough persists, or if you notice any changes in behaviour such as a reduced appetite or less energy.

Our article on kennel cough explains more about the infection, what to look out for, and how to treat it. Read more here: https://bit.ly/44CKnV0

Is your rabbit protected against Myxomatosis? This highly infectious viral disease has a very high mortality rate and can leave your rabbit prone to other infections.

The best way to protect your rabbit is to vaccinate them, especially as there is no cure if your rabbit becomes infected. There's also ways to reduce the risk of your rabbit catching the virus.

You can read more about them, and Myxomatosis, in our advice article here: https://bit.ly/4blrPLu

Whether the sun is out or hiding in the clouds, your pets will want to be out in the garden this spring. Did you know there may be some hidden dangers in your garden that can injure or poison your pet?

Pets can develop allergies to certain plants, pollen, and insects. If you notice any hay-fever like symptoms, such as itchy, watery eyes or sneezing, contact your vet for advice. They can help you identify the causes and ease your petโ€™s symptoms.

Can you feed your rabbit cauliflower, courgette, or brussel sprouts? The answer is yes, but only in small amounts. Vegetables should account for around 15% of their diet.

Weโ€™ve put together an essential guide to caring for your pet rabbit that will help you make sure your rabbit stays happy and healthy. It includes information about their diet, the vaccinations they need, what environment they should be kept in, and how to manage their behaviour.

They are a vital part of the Ramsbottom team and they work extremely hard every day to take care of clients and patients.

They are incredibly important and work side by side with the clinical team.

Training your dog and teaching them commands can be really rewarding. If you're wanting your dog to learn some simple commands, we've put some tips together to help.

All dogs learn at a different rate so be patient, be consistent in your approach, avoid distractions, reward them with praise and occasional treats, and always have fun while you're doing it.

10/04/2024

Making sure your rabbit has the right diet will not only keep them healthy and full of the nutrients they need, but can also improve their dental health and regulate their digestive system.

Hay and grass should make up around 80% of your rabbit's diet, this can be fresh or dried grass, but they should have unlimited access to it. They can have a small amount of vegetables each day, around 15% of their diet. Rabbit-safe vegetables include broccoli, carrots, courgette and green beans.

Our Story - Vets in Ramsbottom for over 30 years

Welcome to Medivet Ramsbottom, our friendly small animal practice, which was previously known as Bonham Veterinary Centre. We're a kind and caring team of veterinary professionals dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care to both you and your pet.

We have four vets, Kay, Ian, Alice, and Amy, three qualified Veterinary Nurses, Gemma, Anna D, and Jess, and two Student Veterinary Nurses, Anna N and Sophie. These are very ably supported by Carol, Sharon, Emily, and Charlotte. We also have 3 patient care assistants Charlotte, Becky, and Toni, who recently started with Medivet. We provide a complete service to our clients, including routine fifteen minute consults (most vets only have ten minute consultations), vaccination, and both routine and emergency surgery. We have recently updated to our x-ray equipment to the newest digital x-ray facilities. The nurses run nutrition and obesity clinics, and are available for advice throughout the day. We also host our own puppy parties to help your new addition to your family become a socialised adult. If you are unfortunate enough to need to see us more than a couple of times in a year, you can expect to be recognised and quite probably have your pets name remembered. We will avoid any hint of pressurised selling, and will explain your options and costs and leave the choices to you. We promise to always have your petโ€™s best interest in mind. We consult by appointment at all times Monday to Saturday. Please see our opening times on our website. If we are fully booked we will still see an ill animal on the same day, but may ask you to wait as we fit extra appointments in between our existing appointments. Outside of these times, please contact the surgery where a recorded message will give details of our out of hours emergency service. Thank you for you custom, we do understand that from your point of view you would like to see us infrequently! Feel free to give us a call or pop in to see us for a friendly chat - our team are always happy to help with your queries.
