‼CUTENESS ALERT‼

Little Erin was rushed to us by her concerned owners when she was not progressing normally with the birth of her pups. We immediately performed an ultrasound scan, which showed a large number of pups with weak heart beats .
Time was of the essence , as the puppies were stressed , so we took Erin straight into theatre to perform a caesarean section.
With the whole team on board to help with the new born babies ( including our fabulous reception staff !), we managed to revive 5 of the 11 pups. Together with her owners, we decided to spay Erin at the same time as the caesarean as we would not want to risk her having problems with a future pregnancy.
Mum and her 5 babies are now thriving causing havoc at home!

The puppies are now 3 weeks old and we have had the pleasure of seeing them weekly and watching them grow. The owner is keeping us updated, sending us photo's and letting us know how they are doing.
They're all completely adorable I'm sure you'll agree.

Little Molly came in to wish us a Happy New year with her big sister Cleo.
She was very brave getting her 2nd Vaccine and her claws clipped.
What a little cutie she is! 💕

Its very important to make sure your new puppy gets Microchipped and their primary course of vaccinations. 2 weeks after their second vaccine puppies can then go for their first walk into the big wide world!
Socialisation is also key to having a well rounded confident dog, Puppy classes are a good way to help your puppy get used to other dogs and can be crucial for their early development and training.

You can also bring your puppy into the practice (no need to book an appointment) for regular weighing and of course lots of fuss and cuddles! This can help them with their socialisation and make their trip to the vets a positive experience.

Introducing our new little helper Brookes! ♥️

Brookes came in today for his second vaccine appointment. He helped on reception whilst waiting for his consult and was very happy to have a little tour of the practice, receiving lots of cuddles from all the staff.

One of the greatest perks of our job on reception is being the first to get cuddles!

‼ MUSHROOM TOXICITY IN DOGS ‼
Mushroom poisoning can be fatal for dogs, and all mushroom ingestion should be treated as a potential emergency. Symptoms can appear quickly or be delayed, and vary depending on the type of mushroom consumed.

The symptoms of mushroom poisoning depend on the species of mushroom. Toxicity varies between mushrooms, and different toxins can affect dogs differently. In many cases, the SLUDGE signs, including:

Salivation – excessive drooling
Lacrimation – increased tear production
Urination – due to relaxation of the bladder
Defaecation – often diarrhoea
Gastrointestinal distress – cramps and pain
Emesis – vomiting
are the first symptoms and can develop into weakness, collapse, and organ failure.

Some mushroom species are neurotoxic, causing severe injury to the nervous system – leading to drunken-like movements, hallucinations, seizures, coma or death.

Death cap (Amanita phalloides)
This mushroom is highly toxic and contains amatoxins, which can cause liver and kidney failure, or even death. It's common in England and is often found in broadleaved woods. Symptoms usually appear within 6 to 24 hours and include vomiting, diarrhea, and severe abdominal pain.
Deadly webcap (Cortinarius rubellus)
This rare but deadly poisonous fungus has been responsible for several deaths in Europe.
Fool's funnel (Clitocybe rivulosa)
Also known as the sweating mushroom, this mushroom has a funnel-shaped cap and can be potentially deadly.
Panther cap
This brown, spotty mushroom causes intense sickness and significantly affects the central nervous system.
Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherinoides
These mushrooms have a fishy odour and contain toxins that can cause death in dogs in rare instances.

If you suspect your dog has eaten a toxic mushroom, you should:
Contact a veterinarian immediately
Grab a piece of the mushroom and wrap it in a damp paper towel
Place the mushroom in a plastic bag
Wash your hands thoroughly

‼Chocolate Toxicity in Dogs‼

Chocolate contains a chemical called 'theobromine', which is toxic to dogs. The darker the chocolate the more poisonous it is. Dogs should not eat chocolate. If your dog has accidently got hold of some, their risk will depend on their weight, the type of chocolate and the amount they have eaten.

Signs of chocolate poisoning in dogs:
If your dog has eaten chocolate, speak to your vet so they can assess your dog's risk of chocolate poisoning. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning can develop even if your dog has only eaten small amounts, and include:

-vomiting
-diarrhoea
-hyperactivity
-tremors, seizures or fits
-heart problems
-death, in severe cases

Seek urgent vet help if your dog has eaten dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is the most dangerous because it contains a higher percentage of cocoa.
Cocoa powder is even more dangerous to your pet than dark chocolate. So, if your dog has consumed this, then you’ll need to speak to your vet straight away.

If you know your dog's weight and what's been eaten, using a chocolate toxicity calculator, like the one from VetsNow, can help you assess the risk and monitor any symptoms. If you're unsure or do not know your dog's exact weight, always speak to your vet.

❄Pets at Christmas❄
We love Christmas! However, while we're getting wrapped up in the festive fun, we can easily forget how the holidays can affect our pets.

Festive food can be poisonous to pets
Festive food is delicious, but much of it is highly toxic and dangerous to our pets. Avoid giving your cats, dogs or small furries (such as rabbits and guinea pigs) these foods as they can make them unwell:

Chocolate
Mince pies
Christmas pudding
Onion gravy
Alcohol
Meat on the bone
Bones from carcasses are a dangerous choking hazard and can pose a risk of internal blockages and cause intestinal perforations.

While rabbits and guinea pigs can eat grapes in small quantities they’re poisonous to cats and dogs.

Pet-proof your Christmas tree
Avoid using breakable baubles but if you do, hang them higher up.
Avoid chocolate decorations.
A tree stand may prevent cats from climbing up from the bottom.
Anchor the tree to a wall to prevent it from falling.
Provide alternative cat enrichment. Cats can be inquisitive and Christmas trees are novel and exciting so providing lots of other activities such as toys and feeding puzzles might keep them occupied elsewhere.
Tinsel, wrapping paper, hanging decorations and especially edible decorations might be tempting for your pet to play with, but make sure they don't eat them!

Christmas pet care checklist:
Keep the number of an emergency vet on hand in case of accidents or if your pet eats something they shouldn't.
If your pet is on medication, stock up before the Christmas break so you don't get caught out.
If you're going away over Christmas, be sure to make plans for your pets - whether they're coming with you or not.

❄️Keeping Your Pets safe this winter❄️

Walking dogs in winter 🐕

If you have an elderly or sickly dog, buy a special coat or jumper to keep them warm. Wear reflective clothing and think about a reflective collar or light for your dog's collar.
Keep your dogs away from ponds and lakes that are iced over - thin ice may break under a dog's weight.
Be aware that antifreeze and rock salt can be poisonous to pets. Wash their paws thoroughly after walking your dog in areas that may have been gritted with rock salt.

Keeping cats warm 🐈
Check your feline friend's bedding is away from cold draughts and stays warm and dry. In the coldest months, it's important that your cat has access to a warm environment, such as your home or another heated indoor area.

Rabbits and guinea pigs🐰
Outdoor pets, such as rabbits and guinea pigs, need extra bedding such as dust-free hay in the winter months. Use blankets or covers, to help insulate hutches in the winter months. Remember to make sure they're still well-ventilated.

Keep your pets dry in rainy weather by making sure the indoor area of their enclosure has a sloped roof to allow water to drain away. Raise it off the ground by at least four inches and place it in a sheltered position, facing away from wind and rain.

As the temperature drops, you could move their enclosure into an outhouse shed or unused garage. If you decide to bring your rabbits or guinea pigs indoors, they'll need plenty of time and room to exercise in a safe and secure environment.

‼️Be aware that antifreeze and rock salt can be poisonous to pets.‼️
Most people are unaware of the danger to pets from antifreeze poisoning. Eating the smallest amount can cause kidney failure and death, especially in cats.
Symptoms to look out for are:
Vomiting
Seeming depressed/sleepy
Appearing drunk and uncoordinated
Seizures (fits)
Difficulty breathing

The sooner your pet receives veterinary treatment, the better their chances of survival. If left untreated, antifreeze poisoning can cause pain, suffering, distress and ultimately death.
