❓WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF HEAT STRESS IN PETS❓

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.

If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

🌟BIG NEWS🌟

On the 21st June, our vet Anke came into practice with her little dog as she was struggling during labour. We gave her little dog some medication to try and help. However, there was still no signs of puppies.

Unfortunately, she required a C-section. We welcomed two lovely boys into the world! Aren’t they adorable 🥰

They are growing so fast, almost tripling in weight already 😱.

If your dog is showing signs of labour and not producing any puppies within 2 hours of each other or at all, please contact the practice. This is an emergency, the earlier the intervention the better the outcome.

08/07/2024

❓WHY IS HOT WEATHER DANGEROUS FOR PETS❓

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be harmful. We control their environment, their access to water and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

🐰RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - NEUTERING🐰

Neutering means removing the reproductive organs; this is either the ovaries in females (known as spaying) or the testicles in males (known as castration). Neutering is a routine procedure that does not require overnight hospitalisation, with an average recovery time of 5-10 days.

Find out more about the benefits and risks of netuering your rabbit here: vetcollection.co.uk/health/should-i-neuter-my-rabbit

🐰RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - VACCINATIONS🐰

Both indoor and outdoor rabbits require vaccinations to keep
them safe from infectious disease. Young rabbits are particularly vulnerable to serious illnesses, so it’s important to get them vaccinated early.

Rabbits can be vaccinated from five weeks old and will need
yearly booster vaccinations throughout their life to maintain
immunity.

Find out more about vaccinations for rabbits here:
vetcollection.co.uk/health/vaccinations-for-rabbits/

26/06/2024

🐰RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - DENTAL DISEASE🐰

Since you cannot check your rabbit’s teeth at home, it is important to look out for signs of dental disease.

There are many things that you can look out for that might indicate that your rabbit has some sort of dental health issue.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important that you bring your rabbit to your vet for an oral assessment as soon as possible. Stopping eating altogether is an emergency.

25/06/2024

🐰RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - MICROCHIPPING🐰

Microchipping rabbits is not a legal requirement but is strongly recommended. Rabbits are excellent escape artists and, if they manage to escape the garden, it can be difficult to identify where they have come from.

Find out more about getting your rabbit microchipped here:

✈️PET TRAVEL ADVICE ✈️

To travel with your pet to an EU country or Northern Ireland, there are some requirements your pet will need before you travel. We would recommend that you start the process at least four months before your journey.

🐰RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - FLYSTRIKE🐰

To begin our rabbit awareness week we thought we would talk about a common preventable problem seen in practice called Flystrike.

Flystrike happens more often in warm weather, and in rabbits who have soiled fur (often due to poor diet, obesity or arthritis).

Throughout the spring and summer rabbits must be checked twice daily and any soiled fur cleaned. If you find any sign of fly eggs or maggots you must arrange for your rabbit to see a vet as soon as possible.

For more information about Flystrike: vetcollection.co.uk/health/conditions/flystrike

Everyone meet George the Domestic Shorthair. George came to stay with us for his neutering procedure and microchip! ✂️

Did you know as of the 10th June, it is a legal requirement to have you cat microchipped. You can book an appointment with one of our nurses to have this done, just call the practice on 01623 555460.

It was lovely to meet you George 🥰. We hope you’re recovering well at home and getting lots of cuddles! 🏡

🐶TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY🐶

There is no denying the fact that dogs can help to alleviate stress in the workplace. In fact, a survey conducted by The Kennel Club revealed that 70% of people think dogs reduce stress within a working environment, and even stroking a dog is said to reduce blood pressure.

Is your four-legged friend taking a trip to your workplace today?

🪱PARASITE TREATMENT🪱

Here at Thompsons we can provide you with both flea and worm treatment upon request. There has been a few changes over the last few months so we thought we’d share these changes and hopefully give you a little more clarity.

Recently there has been a guideline change regarding flea and worm treatment from the RCVS. This now means a prescription is required to obtain flea and worm treatment in the category POM-V (Prescription Only Medication - Veterinarian). These prescriptions can be added to your pets history at boosters or consultations where the Vet has examined your pet. Once the prescription has ran out, another examination/booster will be required to supply you with further flea and worm treatment.

There are two forms of both flea and worm treatments for dogs and cats: tablet and spot-on. The tablet is to be given by mouth and the spot-on is a liquid that goes onto the skin at the back of the neck. You can request which form you would like or prefer when speaking to the vet at your appointment.

Due to the changes, it takes us a little longer to process the flea and worm treatment so we please ask for at least 48 hours notice. This gives our staff adequate time to process these requests.

Thank you for all your patience! If you have any questions regarding flea and worm treatment for you pet or the products we supply, please call the practice on 01623 555460!

✈️PET TRAVEL ADVICE✈️

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them.

An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV). Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

💉DIABETES AWARENESS WEEK💉

This week is Diabetes Awareness Week! - did you know
your furry friends can get diabetes too?

Diabetes causes levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood to be
persistently high. Normally when blood glucose levels increase, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin which adds in a number of ways to lower the blood glucose and prevent it from getting too high.

🥕ASMR ALERT🥕 This cutie is Noir the 4 month old Rex. He came to stay with us last week for his castration ✂️ Rabbits, unlike our dogs and cats, are not required to be starved before an operation as they require food to constantly be in the digestive system to keep it working properly! Therefore, we need to get our small furries eating as soon as possible after their operation. Noir is a perfect patient, eating his carrot that one of the nurses brought in for him! 🥕 You did so well Noir, it was lovely to meet you and we hear you’re back with you buddy at home!🐰

The Healthy Pet Club is here to help you to save money on your pet’s everyday health care. You can break down the cost into simple, monthly payments from just 53p per day. Join the club in practice or find out more at thehealthypetclub.co.uk

Working together on the safe disposal of your pets’ unused antibiotics Did you know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide health threat, as bacteria are becoming resistant to many antibiotics that we use in human and veterinary medicine? Find out more about our antibiotic amnesty here https://thompsonsvets.co.uk/working-together-on-the-safe-disposal-of-your-pets-unused-antibiotics/

📸 Behind the Scenes Sneak Peek 📸 Here is a sped up video of our HVN Callie bandaging the very well behaved Diesel up. It’s not as easy as it looks, and our nursing staff go through lots of training to perfect the art of a good strong bandage. We make sure animals are well supported as to avoid unnecessary strain on other limbs, ensure bandages are secure, toes and pads are protected, the wound is clean and covered and that nothing is too tight. Diesel will be back this week for a bandage change and wound check, but she sure knows how to model pink beautifully 🥰

Everyone meet Chester and Norman 🐰🤍 These little bunnies payed a visit to the practice this morning. Here is Chester and Norman enjoying fresh veggies gifted by the nurses. Turn the volume up to hear the satisfying sound of a bunny monching on a carrot. 🥕🥬
