Charlie visited us yesterday for an ultrasound scan. He was super chilled, not only falling asleep while waiting in his kennel, but even during the ultrasound scan itself! It was lovely to see how relaxed he was 🥰

You may have heard of humans having an over or underactive thyroid gland, but did you know pets can be affected too?

In dogs we most commonly see underactive thyroid disease (hypothyroidism), causing symptoms such as weight gain, lethargy and skin/coat changes. Vet Richard has written a useful website article explaining the signs to look out for, and how we diagnose and treat this condition:

In cats, we most commonly see overactive thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism), causing symptoms such as weight loss despite an increased appetite, and increased thirst. Check our RVN Ellen's article on this topic to find out more: https://www.greenbayvets.co.uk/2022/06/30/hyperthyroidism-in-cats/

January is , highlighting the benefits of regular dog walks for both you and your pet 🐕

🐾Dog walks are great exercise for both you and your dog
🐾They benefit your dog's emotional wellbeing through stimulation and socialisation
🐾Taking your dog for a walk can benefit you own mental health too, through being outside in nature, spending time with your dog and meeting others

We are very lucky to have some amazing dog walking spots on our doorstep. What are your favourites - let us know in the comments...

We have had a few cold spells in recent weeks ❄️, so a good time to remind you of winter safety and pet care tips.

🐾Try to walk your dog during daylight hours. If it is dark, make sure you and your dog can be seen by using LED collars, high-vis clothing etc.
🐾Older dogs or those with thinner coats may appreciate a warm coat.
🐾Salt and grit can irritate your pet’s paws, wash their feet if they come into contact with it.

🐱 Provide a litter tray inside for your cat, even if they usually go outside. Your cat may appreciate extra enrichment indoors if they usually spend time outside e.g. playing together, or using a puzzle feeder.

☠️ANTIFREEZE☠️

Ingestion of even small quantities of antifreeze is often unfortunately fatal. Cats are most susceptible, licking from puddles or from their paws. Be sure to keep antifreeze away from pets (and children) and mop up any spills. If you see your cat ingesting antifreeze seek veterinary attention immediately.

🐇 If you have a pet rabbit, guinea pig or other small furry, RVN Lynzi has written a website article with winter care tips: https://www.greenbayvets.co.uk/2024/12/16/winter-care-for-small-furries/.
