Beat the summer heat with a purrfect treat for your kitty! Introducing Tuna Freeze-Pops – a fun and cooling snack your feline friend will adore 😻

What you'll need ⤵️

1. Pour the fresh spring water from a tin of tuna into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid

2. Once frozen, pop the tuna ice cubes into a shallow bowl of water

🚨 Summer Pet Safety Alert 🚨

As the temperature rises, it's essential to protect your dogs from the dangers of high heat! 🌡️🐶

Walking your dog in high heat can lead to overheating, dehydration, and potentially life-threatening heat stroke.

Signs of heat stroke include:

🥵 Excessive panting
💦 Drooling
🤮 Vomiting
📈Rapid or irregular heartbeat
💤 Lethargy or weakness
🚶 Stumbling or difficulty walking
😓 Red or pale gums
🚨 Collapse

To keep your furry friends safe, walk them during cooler parts of the day, provide plenty of water and find shady spots for rest. Let’s make sure our pets stay cool and healthy this summer! 💚

15/07/2024

Today at our vet practice, we had the pleasure of caring for Star, who visited us for his castration procedure 🌟

To ensure Star's smooth recovery and prevent any discomfort, we provided him with a buster collar before he left our practice. These collars are designed to aid in recovery by preventing pets from licking or chewing at the surgical site, allowing them to heal properly without any interference 🏥

11/07/2024

🚨 Important Reminder for Pet Owners 🚨

As temperatures are set to rise, it's crucial to protect your furry friends from the dangers of hot pavement! 🌡️🐾

Walking your dog on hot pavement can cause:

🐾 Severe burns and blisters on their paw pads
🐾 Increased risk of heat stroke
🐾 Significant discomfort and distress

How to check if the pavement is safe:

🐾 Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them!

Opt for early morning or late evening walks, stick to grassy areas and always carry water to keep your pet hydrated. Stay safe and keep those paws cool! 🐶💚

At Medway City Vets, we celebrate the wonderful diversity of pets that grace our doors each day! From furry friends big and small to those with unique personalities, every pet holds a special place in our hearts. We had the pleasure of welcoming Boris the gentle giant, for his 6-month health check with one of our caring nurses 🏥

Keeping track of your pet's health and progress is incredibly important for their overall wellbeing. Regular health checks allow us to monitor any changes, address concerns early on and ensure that your furry companion stays happy and healthy for years to come 🐶🐾

🚨🌾Attention dog owners! Grass seeds might seem harmless, but they pose a serious threat to our furry friends 🌾🚨

These tiny seeds can get lodged in their ears, eyes, paws and even travel under the skin, leading to painful infections and abscesses. It's more common than you think, especially during summer walks in tall grass. Always check your dog after outdoor adventures and remove any seeds you find. Stay vigilant to keep your pup safe and healthy! 🐾

‼️A deceased ginger and white entire male domestic short hair was sadly handed into us after being involved in a road traffic accident near the sports center in Strood. He was not microchipped. If this could be your cat, or you have any information please get in touch‼️

29/06/2024

‼️Unfortunately a deceased dog was handed into us today. It was found near the Stonehorse Lane public path. It appears to be a black and white Staffie or Staffie cross, possibly older, but due to decomposition, it's hard to determine the s*x and breed. It seems to have been there for a couple of weeks. If you believe this might be your dog or know who it belongs to, please reach out. Let’s bring some closure 💔 Please share to help spread the word ‼️

We want to give a special shoutout to Socks, who visited our vet practice recently for an important procedure! 🐱✨

Socks underwent castration and a small entropion surgery on his eyelid. For those who may not know, entropion is a condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing discomfort and potential eye damage. It's crucial to address this issue to prevent pain and potential vision loss in our feline friends 👁️

Our skilled team took great care of Socks during his visit, and he left our practice wearing a buster collar to ensure a smooth recovery process 🏥

To ensure Maximus felt right at home during his stay, we provided him with his very own water fountain bowl and some familiar toys from home. We also made sure he had a cosy hiding box for those moments when he needed a little extra comfort and security 🥰

Ode to Vets and Veterinary Nurses

You may never have seen behind the consultation room in a veterinary practice. So take a look at the work our vets and nurses do on the front line every day to look after animals in veterinary practices, hospitals, in the field and on call - so that they receive the best possible care. Thanks to Molly Case for the poem you have written about our profession. #careforanimals #veterinaryprofession

WINNER 🏆

Congratulations to our winner and thank you to everyone who took part. If you think we should do more giveaways in the future like this post 💚

Gorgeous Betty Blue 🥰 Poor little lady found herself in a sticky situation after getting stuck under floor boards for 3 days! She was in earlier in the week for some fluids and observation to double check she was all okay. Here she is being reassured by nurse Michelle that she is a beautiful girl🩷

The 3rd day of Christmas 🎄 🎁❄️ Here is gorgeous girl Luna🐾 Luna came in to be neutered but was a very nervous girl when she initially left her mum which is understandable ❤️ Receptionist Ashlie sat with her in her kennel prior to her surgery and once she was out of surgery she has lots of cuddles on the reception desk with her🥰 All patients receive alot of love but some just need that extra to feel safe whilst in our care🤗 We have since seen Luna for her first post operative check and the nurse reports she is doing really well! Luna's mum opted to get her a medical suit whilst Luna was in recovery. We have to be extra careful with wound sites and ensuring your pets are not disturbing them so they will tend to go home with either a cone or medical suit.

It is officially the Christmas count down! 🎄🎅🎁 On the 1st day of Christmas we have..... Barney who was in for castration. He had us all laughing as he likes to do things upside down! Animal nursing assistant Jade was sat in the kennel with Barney giving him lots of attention and belly rubs! ❄️ Speedy recovery Barney 💙

A nice walk/stretch around the cattery with nurse Michelle for Haku post surgery. How beautiful is she 😍 Michelle had sprayed a blanket with catnip which is why Haku is going crazy for it 💜

Ohh we love a head tilt 😍🥰 Happy Sunday 🌞

💕🐈‍⬛

🎟**Christmas Raffle**🎟 Winner is number 29! The Bucke family, congratulations! And Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

We had Gimble in a few weeks ago as she had a wound that needed stitching up on her stomach🪡 Here she is being syringe fed after surgery and as you can see this did not affect her appetite 😄🐁

This is Rey she was in for the day on Friday for a lump removal. Here she is being fed by nurse Ellie after her operation. Rey is very gentle 💜🐀

We have had one of our staff members rabbits in as an impatient all week with an upper respiratory infection, luckily for him we have our exotic vet Chris looking after him. Mac has been loving all the attention although he is still feeling poorly 💙🐇
