*Is your dog a stick chewer or loves chasing sticks?*

A couple of months ago my Ivy caught a stick too quickly as it was landing. From the other side of the field I saw her collapse to the floor.
I ran over to her to find that the stick snapped in half leaving half of it lodged down her trachea and the other half on the floor. She was struggling to breathe and was starting to turn blue and unresponsive. I lay her down, until mum arrived to us in the car to get her to the vets. I kept her warm and told her how much I love her and she will be ok. Running with her in my arms to get her home would’ve only caused further damage.
When she was rushed to the vets, she went under sedation to remove the stick and recovered well with a very sore throat for the following 2 weeks. Ivy was extremely lucky that this hadn’t caused internal damage.
As you can imagine this was so scary and terrifying for both myself and Ivy.

This isn’t to scare owners but to raise awareness that sticks are really dangerous and fatal to dogs. Sticks can cause;
- splinters
- infections
- may require advanced investigation (endoscope) and surgery
- pierce vital organs
- lacerations

Hindsight is a beautiful thing but please use my lesson as one for you too.
***STICKS ARE BAD***

Ivy is not allowed any sticks for the rest of her life!!

Hey everyone!
Hope you’re all well and getting into the spirit🎄🤶

I thought I’d do a general post with an update. I have got back to all messages with enquiries for 2025 and I have left it that owners can be pencilled in for their requested dates in the hope that I can do said dates but not a promise right now. This is because I need to be in practice to complete my practical tasks for my Nursing qualification so I won’t know my hours or duration of being in practice- which may not suit your pets needs.
When this will be I’m still not sure. I like to keep you all updated so as things change I will put up a post
Thank you for staying patient as always 🫶🏼

I’m so determined to get this qualification!!! 🩺

(**If you have any dates in December where you may need my services please get in touch**)

Hey everyone!
Hope you are all enjoying the snow ❄️
I am very aware of messages waiting for a reply and I really appreciate the patience. Please bear with me a little bit longer. I have nursing exam results coming my way tomorrow and I need to know these results in order to know what my next step/plan is and I would hate to mess anyone around with dates.
I respond to messages and emails in date received order.

Take care

DON’T LEAVE PUMPKINS OUT FOR THE WILDLIFE! 🎃🚫

Once finished with your pumpkins this year please do not leave them out or take them to local woodlands for wild animals to eat. Pumpkins can make many animals sick as they can cause upset stomachs, which can be fatal! As they decompose they can also harbour all sorts of bacteria, fungi and viruses from the surroundings and from other visiting animals, resulting in the spread of other diseases! 🦠

Pumpkins take a long time to break down as they rot and so they also damage woodland ecosystems too! 🌳

So please dispose of your pumpkins appropriately in the compost or food waste to prevent animals getting unnecessarily sick! 🦔💚
