I recently damaged my rotator cuff, So after an injection from Doctor, a trip to Mulligan Massage Clinic and a few days rest. I am back grooming a few dogs. Unfortunately this means I have to cut my workload. Appointments already booked are not effected 🐶

So many of you have been kindly asking how Pixie is doing so I thought I’d give you an update 🩷

For a dog I thought I had to let go 2 months ago she is doing amazing. We changed vets and medication. Pixie started on an inhaler 2 weeks ago,the first 4 days were tough watching her expel the buildup in her lungs but it was worth it. She’s the best she’s been in months, she isn’t wheezing/ coughing as much and is now running around like a puppy not an auld girl of 15 🤣.
I am under no illusions I know we are on borrowed time but while she still has breath in her body I will do anything to make it more comfortable for her. 🩷

Hope every one is enjoying the beautiful weather & have a great long weekend.

I’ve had a few dogs in recently with ticks . Always check your dog all over when they’ve been out walking in long grass / wooded areas. Ticks can hide anywhere… check under tail/bum area, inside ears,under arm pits too.

Simple Analogy — Why rescues can’t save them all…

Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog.
When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water (pounds and shelters) gets to die.

Every day rescue adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat.

Rescues Groups are the tiny Rescue Boats.

The Ship is our community at large.

The iceberg is comprised of puppy mills, careless owners, backyard breeders, and irresponsible people who won’t spay/neuter.

Please be kind to rescue groups, we are trying our best!

Remember NOT to walk your dog during the hottest hours of the day 12pm - 4pm . They are at risk of getting heatstroke

Keeping dogs cool in hot weather.

As we are expecting warm weather it is essential we take steps to keep our pets cool and safe. Heatstroke is a life threatening condition that can develop if an animalbecomes too hot. This can cause seizures, organ damage, internal bleeding, coma and even death.

Dogs are particularly at risk of developing heat stroke on warm days when they are outside exercising and playing. It can also be caused by being in a warm room without proper ventilation, being kept somewhere hot such as a car, conservatory or kennel. Any dog can develop heatstroke, but flat-faced, overweight, giant-breed, thick-coated, very old and very young dogs are most at risk.

Some Tips for helping dogs stay cool in warm weather:

1. Only walk when it is cool, early morning and evening. Do NOT walk any dog during the hottesthours of the days (12pm-4pm).

2. Light exercise only. When playing with your dog allow lots of time for breaks in shade, provide water, and allow yourdog to cool down.

3. Provide lots of shade and plenty of water. Can also freeze water, kong toys, make “ice pops”.

4. No unnecessary travel. NEVER leave dogs in cars.

5. Be extra cautious with flat- faced, overweight, giant-breed, thick-coated, very young and very old dogs. These dogs are less tolerant of the heat than other dogs.

How hot is too hot?

• 16-19 C Generally safe to exercise at all times of days. Dogs most at risk of heat stroke should only be lightly exercised in the cool parts of the days (early morning, late evening).

• 20-23 C No dog should be exercised rigorously. All exercise should take place during cool parts of the day. Play time should be short and have lots of time to cool down.

• 24-27 C Extreme caution should be taken. Exercise should only be extremely light and take place when the sun has set. Focus on giving your dog cooling treats, toys and plenty of opportunity to spend time in shade.

• 28-31 C Dangerous for all, but life threatening for larger breeds and puppies as well as dogs who are flat faced or obese. Stay cool and in the shade with lots of water.

• 32 C Heat stroke is a major risk for all.

Today is my Pixies 15th birthday 🎉 it’s a very special birthday because a year ago she was diagnosed with Pulmonary fibrosis and 3 weeks ago I thought she was gone on me 😢 so every day is a bonus 🙏🏻 She enjoyed her cake and even shared it with Teddy, don’t think they were too keen on their hats though 🤣

Update: SORTED
Thank you so much Karen & All Paws Veterinary Hospital

URGENT REQUEST…..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Would anyone have the medication
Libromide 325mg it’s for the treatment of Epilepsy in dogs. My vets are out of it since Friday and no sign of it being delivered. I have rang around local vet shops and chemists in desperation. If anyone had 3 or 4 tablets to keep my Pixie going until she gets her meds. I really don’t want her to have a seizure at this late stage in her life when she’s also dealing with her lung disease. Please message me if you can help. Thanking you in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please share ….

Had the pleasure of grooming this wee beauty from the pound today. She had been rough shaved by the time she got to me but after 2 soothing shampoos and a little trim she was feeling better and looking a bit more like her name “Bán” (white) Lucky the family that gets her😍
