The 11th November is a day dedicated to honoring military personnel who lost their lives in service to their country. The date commemorates the armistice signed at the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. Wearing a poppy is a show of support for the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. It represents all those who lost their lives on active service, from the beginning of the First World War right up to present day. The purple poppy is for all the animals that helped in the war effort in WW1 and WW2. We remember them alongside all the service men and women.

Today is Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day. Lymphoma is a common cancer seen in pet dogs. It is more common in middle aged dogs, typically 6-9 years old, and can affect any breed of dog but is seen more commonly in boxers, bull mastiffs, basset hounds, St Bernards, Scottish terriers, Airedale terriers and bulldogs. Find out more about Lymphoma in dogs here: vetcollection.co.uk/health/conditions/canine-lymphoma

Wednesday 6th November marks National Stress Awareness Day, which seeks to raise awareness of the negative effects that stress can have on our health. While stress can sometimes serve as a helpful motivator, too much of it can negatively impact our mood, body, and mind. This is where our pets play an important role: they can greatly help reduce stress and boost mental well-being. Interacting with pets has a soothing effect on the body, helping to lower blood pressure, ease anxiety, and increase feelings of social support. Petting or cuddling animals can release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes relaxation and bonding, while also lowering cortisol levels, which are linked to stress. Feeling stressed? Take a few extra moments today to cuddle your pet and ease those feelings of tension.

Have you seen the recent rules that make it a legal requirement for everyone in Great Britain who keeps birds outdoors to register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)? You can find more details here: guidance-for-registration-of-kept-birds-sept-2024.pdf (bva.co.uk) New mandatory bird registration: what do keepers need to know – Government Vets (blog.gov.uk) The rules apply to poultry and other captive birds including pets and aviary birds. You do not need to register indoor birds such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels and finches if they are fully housed in a dwelling (your home or another indoor structure) and with no access to the open air.

This Bennu who got into a bit of mischief recently. He came in for vomiting but on X-rays we were suspicious he had eaten something he shouldn’t have. Vets Ari and Erin used the gastroscope to remove hairbands and part of a shower puff from his stomach! We are pleased to say Bennu is doing very well and recovered well from his escapade

It’s that time of year where you may find ticks on your pets. Here we have a video demonstrating how to remove them with a tick remover. You can purchase these by popping into the practice. #tilehurstvets #removingticks
