Should you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic plant, contact your nearby veterinary clinic promptly.

Adders are warming up... 🐍

☀️ With the weather warming up, it’s a timely moment to remind all dog owners to be aware of adders, the UK’s only native poisonous snake. Adders hibernate over the winter and emerge during the spring, putting dogs at increased risk during the summer months when the weather is generally warmer.

Adders only tend to bite in self-defence, for instance, when they are stepped on accidentally or disturbed by an inquisitive dog. However, when they do, bites can be dangerous as they can induce lameness, vomiting, and changes to the heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing rate.

They are typically found on dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands, and woodland edges, although not limited to these environments.

Visually, bites typically result in dark-coloured swelling that can quickly become severe. If your dog has been bitten by an adder, please get in touch with us or your nearest vet immediately.

Meet Monty!

Monty was here to see vet Pedro for his health check; he was such a good boy.❤️

12/04/2024

As humans, we fret around the buzzing noise when a bee comes close; however, an inquisitive pet may seek to investigate and, as a result, could get stung. Pets seem to be fascinated by bees and wasps and can be stung when trying to play with them after rolling in the grass, rummaging in the garden or disturbing a nest.

Commonly, most stings will cause your pet some irritation and some pain, depending on where your pet has been stung and if they have been stung before. In some instances, there can be a lot of swelling, and they may continually scratch the stung area, which can result in fur loss. If your pet shows any of the following symptoms, they could have been stung:

🐝 Drooling
🐝 Whining
🐝 Swelling
🐝 Pawing at the face or mouth
🐝Biting at the site of the sting
🐝Holding up their paw (if that is where they have been stung)

If your pet has been stung near their mouth or nose, you should contact us immediately.

Over the coming spring and summer months, the risk of "flystrike" increases among the rabbit population. Flystrike occurs when flies lay eggs on the rabbit, which hatch into maggots. These maggots then eat the rabbit's flesh, with often fatal results.

Due to rapid development, the best prevention is keeping your rabbit clean and in good health, feeding them an appropriate diet, carefully checking their bottoms at least twice daily and applying preventative treatments during the peak season.

Rabbits are at an increased risk of getting flystrike if they are unable to keep themselves clean due to obesity, arthritis, poor dental health or cramped, dirty living conditions.

Some of the typical signs of flystrike include:
🐰 Digging into a corner of their living area
🐰 A strong smell from their living area
🐰 Open sores or visible maggots on the skin
🐰 Lethargic and very quiet
🐰 Not eating or drinking

Please get in touch with us quickly for further help and advice if you have any suspicions.

“What is this thing on my leg?” 😻

Handsome Milo was here for his castration and loved his cat castle but was not as keen on his bandage!

All of our patients have an intravenous (IV) cannula placed into a vein, which enables us to administer medications directly into the bloodstream, provide fluid therapy and draw multiple blood samples with minimal patient discomfort or stress. The intravenous cannula is bandaged in place for patient comfort and to protect the site.

We always apply local anaesthetic cream to numb the skin before placing an IV cannula 🥰🐾

Playful Jacob was feeling so good after his castration operation that we had to keep him occupied to stop him from overdoing it! 😻

🐰🐹🐇🐭 The loud bangs and flashing lights of fireworks can be distressing for small animals. As Bonfire Night approaches, ensuring that your pets are well-prepared for the occasion is important. If you own small animals like rabbits or guinea pigs, here are some tips to help them remain calm and happy. 🧶Provide extra bedding if your pet lives outdoors so they can burrow down and feel safe from any bright lights and loud noises. This will give them a comfortable and secure space to hide away from the excitement. 🏡Consider bringing your pet indoors for the night to shield them from the noise and commotion of the evening. Playing some relaxing music can also help to muffle the sound of fireworks and create a calming atmosphere. 🚪If your pet already lives indoors, close curtains and windows to dampen the sound of loud bangs and create a more peaceful environment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. #BonfireNight #Fireworks
