Do you know how to be a life saver!
Please read up and be aware as it's going to be a few warm days!

The RSPCA advice is: if you see a dog in a car on a warm day, please call the police on 999.
Under the Animal Welfare Act everyone has a legal duty to care for their animals and if someone puts their animal at risk, they should face prosecution. Obviously they also have to live with the fact that their action resulted in terrible, unimaginable suffering.

If the car is in a supermarket car park or at a public event, ask for a message to be broadcast, asking the owner to return to their car immediately.

If the police are unable to attend, call the RSPCA 24-hour cruelty line on 0300 1234 999 or if you are in Scotland: 03000 999 999 for SSPCA
(Please store this number on your mobile phone!)

There has been much debate online as to what to do if no one comes in time and the clock is ticking. Consensus is to try to take photos/video of the scene, using your phone. If you decide things are serious and you need to break in to release the dog try to make sure you record what you are doing and to protect yourself from accusations of criminal damage. Certainly advise the police of your intention to do this, so they are aware.

Heatstroke early warning signs:
- Heavy panting
- Profuse salivation
- A rapid pulse
- Very red gums/tongue
- Lethargy
- Lack of coordination
- Reluctance or inability to rise after collapsing
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Loss of consciousness

Heatstroke first aid

If a dog shows any symptoms of heatstroke, move him/her to a shaded, cool area and ring a vet for advice immediately. Heatstroke should always be treated as an emergency.
Dogs suffering from heatstroke urgently need to have their body temperature gradually lowered:
- Immediately douse the dog with cool (not cold) water if possible
- Let the dog drink small amounts of cool water.
- Never cool the dog so much that he/she begins to shiver.

Then go straight to the veterinary surgery!

Hello.

02/01/2024

I have about a dozen quail eggs so I'm going to fix some for breakfast in the morning for my granddaughter and my ferrets will have some for snack for the next few weeks. Quail eggs are tiny but very tasty eggs.

Obligate Carnivore... What does it mean? Professor Lysander has the answer!

Obligate carnivores are animals that require a completely meat/animal protein based diet. Obligate carnivores lack the anatomy and physiology to properly digest and utilize plant matter. A few examples of obligate carnivores are ferrets, felines, and mink. Here are some of the issues that obligate carnivores face if forced to consume a plant matter inclusive diet:

• They have no flat molars to properly crush plant matter- their teeth are instead designed for slicing through meat and appropriately sized bone.

• They have no salivary amylase to begin the process of breaking down and digesting starches- salivary amylase, or Ptyalin, is an enzyme found in saliva that breaks down the insoluble starch found in foods into smaller, soluble sugar fragments. Obligate carnivores lack this important enzyme and cannot efficiently digest starches because of it.

• Obligate carnivores also lack a cecum to aid in the absorption of plant based foods- the cecum is a developed organ seen in small herbivores like rabbits that aids in the absorption of plant food and aids in the retention of supplements. Because obligate carnivores lack this important component of the digestive system, again, they cannot properly or efficiently digest and utilize plant based foods.

• And finally, when fed a diet containing carbohydrates (plants contain carbohydrates), many obligate carnivores may develop medical issues as a result, such as insulinoma in ferrets or diabetes in cats. Plant based proteins in dry kibble may cause issues as well - though it's still being studied, there is a strong suspicion that pea protein is linked to increasing the risk of kidney & bladder stones in felines, ferrets, and other carnivores.

Obligate carnivores are clearly built to thrive on a diet of exclusively meat/prey- when we choose to have these animals in our lives, it's vital that we provide a species appropriate diet.
