Polite reminder on Microchipping

It is now law that all cats before they reach the age of 20 weeks must be microchipped, this includes indoor cats. Don't forget that your contact details must always be kept up to date on the database your chip is registered with, so you must contact them if you move address or change telephone numbers. If your cat was microchipped by us, then all you need to do is tell us of any changes and the National Veterinary Database will automatically be updated.

If your cat is not microchipped, please give us a call today to book your cat in! Microchipping is available at all 5 of our practices.

☀️Even though many cats enjoy laying in sunny spots, they can become affected by very warm weather. When the temperature is high, they could experience dehydration.

👇We've put together some ways that you can keep your cat comfortable when it's hot.

🪰Does your dog or cat ever chase bugs? There may be occasions where they might get a sting. Most stings will simply cause your pet pain and irritation, but multiple stings can be dangerous.

🐝Dogs can be at risk because they tend to snap at bees and wasps, making it more likely for them to be stung in the mouth or throat. This can cause swelling and may block their airway.

🐶As with humans, some pets can be allergic to bee and wasp stings, so keep an eye out for signs of an allergic reaction.

‼️Call us straight away if your dog has been stung multiple times or has an allergic reaction.

🪰Flystrike is a painful and sometimes fatal condition caused by flies laying their eggs on your pet. These then hatch into maggots, which eat the flesh of the animal. It can happen in a matter of hours and can quickly lead to toxic shock and death.

👇 Here are signs for what to look out for and how you can prevent flystrike.

✂️Bramble and Bob visited us today for a nail clip.

ℹ️When a guinea pigs nails start to curl, that's when it's time to trim them. If their nails get too long this can result in a number of issues, such as:
- It becomes uncomfortable for them to walk
- The nail could become embedded in the paw pad causing pain

💡If you're trimming your guinea pig's nails, try to avoid cutting the quick. The longer the nail, the longer the quick. If your piggie's nails are very long, try trimming them a small bit each week. As the nails get smaller, the quick recedes also.

However if you're nervous to do it, then we're always happy to trim them for you.

We were lucky enough to meet this incredibly cute chap. Our dispensing assistant, Amie, couldn't resist a cuddle with Ace, a 9 week old Labradoodle following his new puppy healthcheck with us.

♨️☀️ Heatstroke in dogs can be fatal so it’s important to act fast.

👀Signs of heatstroke include:
Heavy panting, difficulty breathing, excessive drooling, lethargy, drowsiness, being uncoordinated and unbalanced, vomiting and collapsing.

✅Tips for cooling a dog down:
- Move them to a cool area.
- Pour cool water over them, avoiding their head to prevent inhalation. Continue to pour water until the dog’s breathing has settled.
- Provide cool water for them to drink but don’t force water into their mouths.
- Phone us as soon as you can, even if you feel they have recovered. We’ll be happy to provide advice or book you an appointment for us to check them over.
