Did you know that onions 🧅 and their relatives are toxic to 🐶 and 🐱 ?
The Allium family (onions, garlic, spring onions, chives and leeks) cause red blood cell destruction in cats and dogs - which can result in lethargy or collapse. A high intake can result in immediate reactions, but often the signs will take a few days to appear. Dried versions of these foods are also toxic so be careful of gravy and stuffings which are often sneaky culprits!

❤️‍🩹 Bonnie came to us today for a lap spay. Due to the very small incisions, Bonnie will be running around in 3 days rather than the usual 10-14 with the traditional open spay.

In such big, bouncy dogs this saving on rest time is invaluable!

🍁 Autumn Hazards 🍁 We’re coming towards an exciting time of the year - cosy evenings, twinkly lights and hot chocolates in-front of the fire 🔥
Here are some handy tips to keep your pets safe as we start the run up to the festive season…
🌙 Darker nights: With the evenings drawing in, it’s crucial to ensure your pet is visible to drivers. Use reflective or flashing collars to keep them safe on walks.
🍁 Watching your dog frolic in piles of leaves can be fun, but be cautious, sharp objects can sometimes be hidden in the foliage, increasing the risk of cuts or other injuries. Plus, leaf mould might contain bacteria and fungus that your dog can ingest leading to stomach upsets.
❄️ Anti freeze toxicity Anti freeze is very sweet and tasty to cats. Even small amounts on their paws can cause kidney failure when they lick their paws to clean their toes. Please be mindful when using these products and keep them stored in a safe place.
🍂 Decaying matter in compost heaps can develop moulds toxic to animals. If ingested, these moulds might cause neurological symptoms like seizures, so be vigilant about keeping pets away from compost areas.
🍃 Conker toxicity: Conkers contain a toxin called aesculin, which is harmful to dogs. Though severe poisoning requires ingesting several conkers, symptoms can appear within 1 to 6 hours and may even be delayed for up to two days.

If you have any concerns about possible contact with any of the above toxins, please give the practice a call 24/7 where one of the vet team can provide you with the necessary advice ☎️
