💊 With the festive season fast approaching now is the time to check your stock levels of medication for you pet.

💊 There will be reduced opening hours in veterinary practices therefore there may be a longer wait for medication.

💊 Get ahead of the rush and order your repeat prescriptions sooner to avoid running out over Christmas

Are you and your dog winter ready ?

Some dogs have thinner coats than others so may need a bit of help keeping warm on the colder days. There is now a wide range of jackets and fleeces for dogs to help them to stay warm on walks and enjoy their day out.

When it is ice and there is grit on roads and paths it is a good idea to bathe your dogs paws in warm water when you come back from a walk, the rock salt can be toxic to dogs if they lick it off it can also irritate their pads

Getting stiffer in the winter ❄️

❄️ It is very common for pets to become stiffer in the winter, the cold weather can make them shiver which can irritate sore joints and they are more likely to fall and hurt themselves.

❄️ It is important to keep this in mind if you know
your pet has health issues or are elderly.

❄️ Make sure your pet has a nice cosy and comfy
bed.

❄️ If it's a cold day pop a jacket on to help keep them warm and try not to stay outside for too long.

❄️ If the ground appears slippy and you know your pet has joint issues take the for walks on clear paths to help prevent falls.

❄️ If you think your pet is struggling with the cold and would like some help please first contact your vet, or contact me through email/telephone or DM

Hello October 👋🏼 🎃

29/09/2024

The goal of pain management is helping pets to live happy and healthy lives. Sometimes pets have a visible improvement in mobility, in other cases they just seem happier and have greater quality of life.

Is pain affecting my pet’s quality of life?
The effects of chronic pain are difficult to assess. Common behavioural changes indicating your pet’s quality of life may be affected by pain include:
• Losing interest in exercise or play.
• Not sleeping well, or just being ‘down in the dumps’.
• Showing signs of withdrawal from the family.

What conditions benefit from Pain Management?
A range of painful conditions have been helped with Pain Management:
• Pets with uncontrolled arthritis pain.
• Pets who are unable to take some pain-relieving medicines.
• Pets recovering from injury, or after surgery.
• Pets with back pain.
• Palliative care for pets with cancer.

Would Pain Management help my pet?
If you are concerned that your pet may be suffering from pain, please ask your usual vet for advice. They will refer you for an appointment if they think Pain Management could help your pet’s quality of life.

What is Pain Management?
The first step in Pain Management is to diagnose the causes of your pet’s pain. Working closely with you and your referring vet, we then develop a safe and effective treatment plan for your pet
This may include:
• Pain relieving medicines.
• Drug-sparing physical therapies, including acupuncture.
• Innovative joint therapies.
• Physiotherapy, to improve your pet’s mobility and help to restore confidence that walking need not be painful.
• Small changes you can make at home to improve your pet’s comfort.

This integrated approach treats pain from all angles,
helping to improve your pet’s quality of life.
