What a fab start to the week . New client for Paws at Yours , a gorgeous, handsome, cute and gentle Cavapoo for a claw clip. He lives in a beautiful location, so Indy and I had a lovely walk afterwards too.
Such a good boy for his pedicure 🐶🐾

If you see an on lead dog, please have the courtesy and manners to put yours on lead too .

Can you all tell this is one of my big pet hates 😤

Recent claw clips for my lovely Golden Oldies ☺️
Both Pepe and Kizzy are advanced teenagers, but find trips to the vets stressful, so being able to visit and do this at home where they’re calm is fab.
Hopefully feeling more comfy after their pedicure 💅

Great advice here from Dr Conor Brady of Dogs First with regards to the Cryptosporidium problem in drinking water in Devon.
Please be aware for the sea swimmers in this area Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Rhos on a sea , that raw sewage is released into our seas and this has happened in the last few days 😡 Shameful but it’s happening .
This website lets you check the water quality and where sewage has been released into the sea .
Both Indy and I had poorly tummies after our swim the other day , our beautiful oceans and its marine life being polluted 😔

Just in case you didn't hear guys, there are a number of cryptosporidium cases in humans in Devon, UK. Crypto is a tiny little protozoan parasite that can get into the water (poo related). Once consumed, it resides in the intestinal tract and can make you very, very gut sick. Not nice.

Dogs can get it too with the same symptoms - bad diarrhoea. If you suspect your dog has it, the vet is around the corner. While the issue often passes without treatment in adults, it’s the pups that you need to worry about, they dehydrate quicker.

If in Devon, please give your dogs boiled-then-cooled water, that kills it.
If your dog goes down with it, keep him hydrated and energised by offering two types of water - the boiled-then-cooled water but also a bowl with a teaspoon of local honey (per 10kg of dog) dissolved in and a few pinches of good salt (anything but the refined stuff!). That’s his electrolytes.

Also provide a hot water bottle under a blanket, that can help with gut pain.

Don't worry about food for the few days of gut sickness. He’s not. Once ready to start eating again, broth is a nice introductory meal. Easy on the gut, feeds the good gut flora. Some kefir will help reset that gut flora,

Failing that, a multi-species probiotic will help reset that hammered gut flora. Best to deliver those in liquid as the gut doesn’t hold on to and thus process and annihilate the good guys. To do this, mix a tablespoon of full-fat yoghurt in a mug and 4-5 tablespoons of warm water. Add your probiotic to that. The liquid wakes them up, the yoghurt gives them something to eat. Leave the mix on the counter for an hour to ferment (which really means poo out their wonderful POSTbiotics into the liquid, the stuff that is needed now) and give him 1 or 2 of those a day outside of meal times. Stop probiotics after 3 or 4 days.
