Prevention is better than cure and as we know with our own teeth, dental hygiene is very important!
With puppies and kittens, it is really useful to get them used to having their teeth brushed (daily if possible!) Please see the link below for a helpful step-by-step guide:
https://www.anident.uk/dental-care-at-home
If you're not able to brush and they really wont let you, there are a few other options to aid hygiene:
Dental Gel - one blob onto the gums, once a day.
Rinsing solution - sq**rt into the mouth
Dental wipes - put over your finger and rub the teeth
Water additive - mix into drinking water for antibacterial action
If you'd like to find out more information or to order any of these products please get in touch.

🌟PET OF THE MONTH🌟
BENTLEY 🐾
Still a puppy at heart, 14 year old Bentley was in with us recently as his owner became worried about a lump.
The lump on his back leg had started to grow rapidly and his Mum was conscious about getting it removed before it became too big and caused further problems.
Vet Paula removed the difficult mass and sent it off for testing. It was found to be a tumour called a sarcoma and it was a very good thing to have it removed! 🙌
Bentley's Mum now has the difficult job of keeping him calm so his leg can heal; he's desperate to bounce about and have fun again!
You take it easy Bentley! 💙

Dappy 🎩
Dapper Dappy is only a year old and loves coming to see us here at the vets.
As a member of our Pet Health Club, we have seen Dappy monthly to weigh him, give him a check over and give him his flea and worm treatment.
He is always a little star and enjoys coming in for the social aspect. Now he is a bit older and his growing has slowed, he received a few months worth of his flea treatment to take him to his booster.
We find these appointments really good at getting young animals used to coming to the vets for a check, treats and fuss without there always being an injection or procedure.
Today Dappy had his nails done and came in confidently!
Nice one Dappy! 😍

Are you planning to introduce a new kitten? or have you got two cats that are struggling to get on?
Pheromone treatments such as Feliway are a great resource that is easy for owners to use at home. Plug ins or sprays mean nothing to administer to the cat but offer some relief from stress.

Something beautiful that we wanted to share with you all. ❤️💔
To celebrate Mab’s wonderful long life, his owner had a memory bear and cushion made locally using his jackets and blankets, and we were so impressed with the lovely results she showed us that we wanted to show you all as we hadn’t seen anything like it before. 🐶❤️

Day 4 - Housing
In the domestic setting, pet rabbits can live either indoors or outside. Either environment is suitable for your rabbits, as long as they have access to everything they need to stay happy and healthy.
A rabbits enclosure should be at least 3m x 2m by 1m high - a hutch is not enough! ..But you can incorporate one (if you have one already) to make it suitable for meeting your rabbits' needs. This might mean connecting two together, using the hutch as a bedroom within a larger space or using tubing to create tunnels to new areas.
If you would like more detailed information, please see the links below:
https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/space-recommendations/
https://rabbitawarenessactiongroup.co.uk/rabbit-welfare/environment/the-guide-to-rabbit-housing/
https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/outdoor-housing/
26/06/2024
Day 3 - Behaviour
It is important that pet rabbits have the opportunity to carry out their normal natural behaviours - digging, jumping, hiding, eating and socialising.
The housing environment and enrichment we provide should stop rabbits getting bored and also improve our bond with them.
Please see the link below for some good ideas:
https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/enrichment-and-behaviour/
Did you know? You can train your rabbits to fetch, go back to their hutch, and respond to their name! It’s a great experience for both of you, providing enrichment for your buns and helping you grow closer.
A great way to train a new behaviour is via clicker training. A small click when your rabbit does what you want, followed by a treat helps them to learn that click means treat!
https://rabbitawarenessactiongroup.co.uk/rabbit-welfare/behaviour/
25/06/2024
Day 2 - Health 🩺
Vaccinations are essential to protect your rabbits against the deadly diseases:
💉Myxomatosis
💉RVHD1
💉RVHD2
These diseases are spread by contact with an infected rabbit or blood sucking insects, or via contaminated objects. There are no effective treatments for these diseases, so prevention through vaccinations is essential. Your rabbits should receive annual jabs at their vets to protect them and other rabbits.
Neutering your rabbits 🐰🐰
Neutering is the act of removing reproductive organs. This is known as spaying for females and castrating for males.
FEMALES: 🩷
Neutering your rabbits avoids unwanted litters. Unfortunately, up to 80% of un-neutered female rabbits can develop cancer of the uterus by the age of 5. Neutering your female rabbit at an early age will stop these cancers from developing.
MALES: 💙
Un-neutered males can be aggressive to other rabbits. In comparison, neutered male rabbits can live happily with male and female rabbits. A neutered female and neutered male are usually the most successful pairing.

🌟PET OF THE MONTH🌟
Izzy 🎀
3 year old Izzy has had a rocky few months. Initially poorly in March, Izzy was found to have stage 2 kidney disease following extensive blood tests and ultrasound investigation.
Izzy's teeth were also playing her up but it was important we started treating her kidneys and stabilise her condition before she could have an anaesthetic for her dental treatment.
A month later Izzy came back for her dental and had quite a few teeth extracted due to peridontal disease.
I'm pleased to say Izzy's gums have healed up nicely and she is doing really well albeit still getting used to the renal food! 🍗

Travel sickness can affect dogs just like it can humans.
Up to 27% of dogs suffer with it and show symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, retching, salivation, restlessness.
Tips to making journeys less stressful:
*Introduce travelling in the car slowly, making short trips or just sat in the car with encouragement.
*Make traveling in the car a positive experience where possible with lots of encouragement.
*Keep windows just slightly open to allow a bit of fresh air.
*Keep the car at an ambient temperature.
*Careful driving at a steady speed avoiding sudden breaking.
*Allow for regular breaks on a long trip. Time for a short walk and drink.
*Avoid feeding you dog a couple of hours before the trip.
If your dog suffers with travel sickness there are remedies and medications available, please speak to one of our team who can advise you.

Our Sunday smile ☺️😂 (or shall we say, laugh). Wishing you all a lovely rest of your day ❤️
Happy Wednesday everyone from our lovely Moose, who is here to remind you all of the importance of dental care!🪥😸 Brushing your pet's teeth for a few minutes each day is the best way of preventing dental problems. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, affects more than 80% of pet cats and dogs. Not only does prevention of dental disease ensure your pets are happy and comfortable, it also lowers the chances of your pet having to undergo dental procedures, which involve the risk of a general anaesthetic and can be very pricey! Introducing your puppies and kittens to toothbrushes is essential to ensure that they are desensitised at an early age. Once they are comfortable with this, you can start to introduce toothpaste and active brushing. Our pets become accustomed to daily routines, so it is vital to stick to one, followed by lots of treats and rewards! (Don't worry, Moose was rewarded with his favourite treat after this video was filmed!) At Emscote Vets, we sell Anident products, these can range from pet-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste to dental gels and oral rinsing solutions. We can understand that not every animal is as tolerant as Moose, so each product is designed to ensure that all pets are tailored to. If you would like some more information, please give us a call on 01926 496422 and we can book you in for a free dental care consultation with a veterinary nurse, who can provide further guidance and demonstrations if required. 🐶🐱
Our Sunday Smile. Ike playing in his pool- thank youJulie for sending this! 😍❤️😍 Please share your pets keeping cool ! Maybe they will give others ideas- like playing with ice cubes, cooling jackets etc. Stay safe and cool in the coming days and don’t forget the small pets, frozen water bottles can be useful, and leave some water out for the hedgehogs and wildlife x 🦔🐿🐾🐾🐾
At Emscote we aim to make your pet’s visit as stress free as possible. Sometimes we may suggest something to take at home to reduce their anxiety before a visit and others are happy with Pet Remedy, a natural herbal, spray on a towel! ( Also used by diffuser in the waiting room and kennels) Alvin is demonstrating how much it relaxes him- he can sometimes be a bit of a handful but he was a real pussycat on his last visit 😻 Remember we have a cat area, and we have tables and basket covers for cats and small animals, just ask reception. Please can we ask you to use normal leads for dogs , not extending, in the practice as we sometimes find this can lead to closer encounters than we would like! Your dog may be friendly but the next pet may be scared. #isfmcatfriendly #PetRemedy
A Home grown Sunday smile. Millie is a bit of a regular patient ,and this video of her binking was sent to make us smile. We hope it makes you smile too. It’s going to be another difficult, short staffed week, so once again I ask you to bear with us . And please share any videos to make us smile!
I was struggling to find a Sunday Smile , when Remy decided to help🙈😂 Please bear with us this week as we will be very short staffed and may need to cancel routine appointments . Paula

Big shout out for Archie and our nursing team. His eagle eyed mum spotted he wasn’t eating in the morning and rushed him down as he has a recurring gut issue. He was bloated and painful and after he was examined, the nursing team administered his medications and fluids and within a short period he perked up and we were delighted to see him pick up and eat! To some this is just a rabbit eating a dandelion, but it makes us happy!
Say hello to little Monty! Here he is showing Ashleigh his very impressive tricks during his consultation! Our team loves nothing more than to learn more about your animals and what makes them unique. We can definitely say that lovely Monty has left a lasting impression 🐶❤️
Munchie enjoying his food! 🐇
