Please read 😢. This week a patient passed due to Flea Anaemia - a condition that can occur when the quantity of fleas living on an animal becomes so prolific that the pet is not left with enough blood to remain healthy.
The normal PCV (a measure of red blood cell concentration) for a cat is around 45%, with a blood transfusion being recommended if PCV is

Disappointing to see. After nicely asking some young teens if they could put their chicken bones in the bin because of the risk to our patients of intestinal obstruction, they then proceeded to throw the bones at our windows and leave them right outside out door. Please be careful when walking your dogs

The best way to check if your dog has ticks is to give them a close examination, looking and feeling for any unusual lumps and bumps. Any lumps should be thoroughly inspected – ticks can be identified by the small legs at the level of the skin. If you aren’t sure, your vet can help you – any new lumps should always be checked by a vet anyway, so don’t be shy asking for advice if you need it.

Do you know that one of the popular flea and worming treatments, "Advocate", does not protect your pet against ticks? If ticks are an issue for your pet, you may wish to discuss with us to find a suitable anti-parasitic product that contains tick protection

🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝SPRING STINGS🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
From early spring to late autumn, your dog could be at risk of being stung. Often, stings occur on the paws, when a dog accidentally treads on an insect. Some dogs enjoy chasing flying insects and if they catch a bee or wasp, they can get stung on the face or in the mouth.

Single stings are usually painful but not life-threatening unless they cause swelling in the mouth or throat. However, there can be serious consequences if your dog or puppy is stung multiple times.

If a dog is having an allergic reaction to being stung, symptoms include: swelling around the mouth, drowsiness, disorientation or collapse, pale gums, vomiting, difficulty breathing and seizures. If you are concerned your dog may be reacting to a sting, contact your vet immediately, as this is an emergency.

SPRING PLANTS THAT ARE POISONOUS TO PETS
Spring is a time for planting bulbs, but it’s important to remember that bulbs often have a higher concentration of nutrients than leaves or flowers, meaning they can be more dangerous for your pet. Lots of different species of bulbs can be poisonous, so keep them in areas your pet can’t access – or avoid them completely.

Be honest, how many times do you say bye to your pet before you leave the house?🫣👇

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚
