7 July - World Chocolate Day

On World Chocolate Day, it's sensible to keep in mind that chocolate is poisonous to our canine friends.

Try to keep chocolate out of reach of your dog, but if an accident does happen, these are the symptoms you should keep an eye out for. The poison itself takes between 4 and 24 hours to cause signs which include:
🍫 Muscle stiffness
🍫 Tremors
🍫 Vomiting
🍫 Heart arrhythmias and fitting

If you see your dog has eaten chocolate or spot any of these symptoms, call your vet immediately.

Unfortunately last night a female black and white cat was found in a leather zip up bag by the front door after practice closing time. Luckily staff were still present and locking up. She was wearing a collar but unfortunately no microchip is present. If you feel she may belong to you please call the the practice directly on 01933 442188.

It’s grass seed season! These barbed seeds easily attach to fur and can burrow into the skin, causing pain and infection.

Watch for These Signs:

Ears: Head shaking, scratching, and discomfort may indicate a seed lodged in the ear. These don’t work their way out and may need removal under sedation or anaesthetic.

Eyes: Redness, weeping, pawing, or squinting can signal a seed under the eyelid. Prompt vet attention is needed to prevent damage.

Feet: Lameness, licking, swelling, or oozing between toes could mean a seed has pierced the skin. These can travel up the leg and may cause infections.

Prevention Tips:
Avoid areas with long grass during summer.
Trim coats, especially around feet, ears, and between toes – particularly important for breeds like spaniels. After walks, check your dog thoroughly and remove any visible seeds

Rabbit Awareness Week 🐇

Rabbits need annual vaccinations, just like cats and dogs.Vaccinations protect against Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD), both of which can be fatal. It is recommended to neuter all rabbits. Male-female
pairs require neutering to prevent breeding, but same-sex pairs can fight if not neutered. Female rabbits also have an 80% chance of developing cancer of the uterus during their lifetime, which is eliminated by neutering.

Rabbit Awareness Week 🐇

Providing the correct nutrition for your rabbit can prevent a lot of common health problems. A rabbit’s diet should be predominantly fibre, as they need to chew almost continuously – their teeth grow throughout their lives and chewing helps prevent them overgrowing.

Its Rabbit Awareness Week! 🐇

Rabbits are social creatures and should be kept in pairs or larger groups. Introducing adult rabbits can lead to potentially lethal fighting; don't be tempted to get one rabbit and add a friend later. Once two or more rabbits are bonded, they should remain together, including for vet trips. It is no longer recommended to keep rabbits and guinea pigs together as it is very difficult to meet both animals’ needs.
