One of our vets, Bryan Deane, and his brother, Christopher, will be running two marathons in October
(Galway Bay and Dublin City Marathon) in a fundraising effort for Embrace Farm. This charity was set up to help those affected by farm accidents, that result in either major injury or death .
It's not a hugely known organisation, but it certainly is doing great work for those who find their family circumstances have changed drastically owing to accidents on Irish farms. The lads would really appreciate your support in their efforts!

MICROCHIPPING
Roscommon SPCA offers a 50% discount on Microchipping & Registration of your animals with your local vet in the County Roscommon area. You will need a discount code from Roscommon SPCA before making an appointment.

The main reason to microchip your pet is that it can be reunited quickly with you if it goes missing.

1. It could save your pet’s life if lost or stolen.
2. Proof of ownership.
3. Peace of mind.
4. It is the law.

We have run this discount microchip & registration quite a few times now, and it has had a very poor take-up.

*This is limited to two dogs per household.

*Commercial breeders are not eligible.

Microchipping regulations can be read here:

🐕🐩🐕‍🦺Is your dog fond of a swim????

Blue-green algae grows in ponds and lakes when the temperature and weather conditions are right

It’s not always visible to the eye unless there is a massive algal bloom

It’s toxic to dogs, causes vomiting, digestive upset and is potentially life threatening

If in doubt keep them out🐕‍🦺🐩🐕

Recognising blue-green algae
By now, you might have heard about blue-green algae and its dangers. But what actually is blue-green algae and how do you spot it? We’ve put together some information you should know.

Blue-green algae is perfectly natural, but can also be dangerous for our four-legged friends (and us)! Our dogs love to swim (mostly) especially in hot weather and you might find them wanting to jump in every puddle and pond they see. But dogs don’t know that blue-green algae is dangerous for both them and us, so we need to be able to spot it and keep them safe.

🌞🌞 As temperatures are set to hit over 20 degrees in the coming days, don’t forget our pets feel the heat too🌞🌞

With temperatures rising this week, it's the paw-fect time to remember how to keep pooches safe and happy in warm weather. ☀️🐶💛

🤧🤧Achoo Achoo Achoo 🤧 🤧

Just like humans suffering with hay fever, our pets can suffer when when the pollen count rises

Pets can be allergic to many plants in their environment.

In dogs this often results in itching, skin irritation, skin infection, rashes, runny eyes and runny noses

Cats can be itchy and get hot sticky rashes on their skin from allergies

If your pet is uncomfortable with the elevated pollen count contact us at Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre to help get them relief from their symptoms

🌾🌾Grass seeds,sure what harm can they be??????🌾🌾

Grass seeds get stuck in our pets fur, when the pet moves these seeds can be buried deep in under our pets skin and set up nasty infections and abscesses

Grass seeds can get into our pets ears and create fierce pain. Often our pets need to be fully knocked out to have a complete ear exam to rule out a grass seed problem

Keeping pets groomed and particularly checking ears and the webs of toes can reduce the likelihood of these seeds causing our pets pain and discomfort

Keep an eye out for pesky grass seeds! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2021.105499

A big congratulations to Bridget, a well deserved award

Congratulations to Bridget on receiving her Certificate of Appreciation at the Roscommon Volunteer Awards Ceremony on Friday.

Roscommon SPCA is run entirely by volunteers who give their time freely to help the animals in the County. Without our dedicated band of volunteers, we would be very limited in the work we could do.

Our day to day co-coordinator, Bridget has the most challenging job of all. She is the frontline for Roscommon SPCA and can take up to eighty calls daily.

This can sometimes be a thankless job, and taking calls can start at 8 am and carry on into the evenings; weekends and bank holidays are the same.

Each one of those calls has to be answered and recorded. It can be anything from advice to dealing with sick or injured animals. This time of year is hectic, with the kitten season in full swing and all those sick, unwanted, abandoned cats and kittens needing foster homes. So, Bridget will have to make untold calls to vets and other volunteers and liaise with our volunteer fosters, whom we could not do without. There are also text messages, emails and WhatsApp messages needing replying to.

The work and commitment of all of our volunteers is greatly appreciated by all at Roscommon SPCA.

At Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre we occasionally need to give a blood transfusion to save a dogs life. We are looking for canine volunteers to put their name on a list that could be called on in a time of need. The dogs need to be between 2 and 7 years of age, be healthy and fit and over 20 kg in weight and ideally of a quiet disposition. If you think you have a dog that fits this description and would be willing to add them to our life savers list please contact us at Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre

🌰🌰Conkers Conkers Everywhere 🌰🌰 Horse chestnuts or Conkers are in plentiful supply this time of year and they pose a massive danger to our dogs Conkers if swallowed can cause blockages of the digestive tract, resulting in vomiting and often require surgery to have them removed All parts of the horse chestnut tree including the conker are poisonous to dogs. They contain a toxin called Aesculin. This toxin results in nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, restlessness and dehydration. If the toxin gets into the bloodstream then toxic shock can occur in the pet and if left untreated can cause organ damage and occasionally death If you doubt your pet has eaten any part of the horse chestnut tree then seek veterinary attention

The number 1 cause of gastrointestinal upset and colic in horses is worms 🐎🪱 🏇 With the increase in resistance to worming treatments across all species of animal, using the right products at the right time is vital to ensure your animals are in tip top shape At Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre we can design a worming regime using diagnostic testing, knowledge of worm lifecycles and worming treatments to ensure your animal is safe from gastrointestinal upset In the photo above is a pair of pinworms found at scanning of a mare for pregnancy Come and talk to us about your worming needs

Cats are unique creatures!!!🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈 While they suffer with plaque, tartar and gum disease similar to dogs, they also suffer a unique set of conditions associated with the mouth and teeth. Feline tooth resorption is a condition where the outer wall of the cats tooth erodes away and the sensitive pulp of the tooth is exposed. This can happen in one or many teeth. There is no known cause for it, just a unique cat condition😸😸😸 Feline aids is a highly contagious virus that damages the cats immune system and leads to repeated infections. Often the first sign of this disease is bad gums and breath. The bacteria in the plaque causes gum infection and the cat cannot fight the infection due to the compromised immune system. Cats also suffer with a syndrome called gingivitis and stomatitis complex. This is believed to be due to an over reaction of the cats immune system to plaque and bacteria. These cats typically have red inflamed gums and mouth. Occasionally all the teeth may need to be removed to give the cat relief from the infections.

One lucky pet will win 🐱🐶🐰 🦷 dental check up 🦷 dental hamper 🦷 voucher for 25% off dental treatment!!!! Like and share our dental awareness posts to be entered for our competition, winner will be announced Monday

Just like us a white cats ears have no natural protection against the suns harmful UV rays🌞🌞🌞 The UV rays cause damage to the skin of the exposed ears. This damage can progress to harmful and painful skin cancer. The treatment for skin cancer on the ears is surgical removal of the ears😿😿😿 Applying factor 50 sunscreen daily protects the ears, prevents skin damage and hence cancer. This helps keep our white cats healthy and happy 😸🧴😸🧴😸🧴

Scanning of mares is well underway at Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre. More than 90% of pregnancy losses occur in the first 40 days following conception. Scanning to ensure no twin pregnancies at 14 to 16 days post service is important. A heartbeat scan at 35 to 40 days post service gives a high chance of a live foal.🐎🐎🐎 We use 2 types of scanning for heartbeats. The first is black and white 2D ultrasound. The image shows fluid as black and the foal is grey and oval. If you look closely in the middle of the foal you can see the heartbeat flickering.❤️❤️❤️ The second image is a colour Doppler scan. The black is fluid, the grey oval is the foal and in the middle of the foal we can see the 2 tiny heart chambers with red and blue blood flow in the separate heart chambers.💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️

We have had a number of pets in lately with worming issues. Usually worms aren’t coming out of your pet and waving at you like this fella!!! Adult worms tend to live in the digestive tract and shed eggs in your pets poop 💩These eggs are microscopic and not detectable with the naked eye 👁 Adult pets should be wormed every 3 months, pups and kittens should be wormed monthly between 12 weeks and 6 months of age, pups and kittens should be wormed every 2 weeks until 12 weeks of age. Any questions don’t hesitate to come and talk to us at Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre
