** Income insurance **

Has anyone thought about getting income insurance and need some pointers? I’ve been signed up with PG mutual for a while (touch wood never needed to use it yet). The customer service has been brilliant and found it via the BVNA and you can select the amount of cover and it tells you how much per month it will be to cover you.

Let me know if you are considering getting any for peace of mind as I have a referral code which gets you a voucher and discount if you sign up

** RVN Wanted **

I have been asked to cover 27th December at a very lovely practice near Swindon and they are fab team but unfortunately I can’t do it 😞 thought I’d put the feelers out if any of my lovely RVN friends can fill in 🐾

Message me if you can and I’ll tell you the deets 🙂

With having raised over £300 I am super grateful to each and every one of you that has donated 😍 smashed my target out of the park!

With little over 24 hours to go there is still time if you have anything you would like to donate. Even a £1 is welcome! I will be walking 15km overnight tonight and it will take about 3/4 hours. Plus I’ll be dressed as a light up weirdo 🤪

Thank you 💵 ###

Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?

One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...

We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!

But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.

🐾 Busy day today - this included the vet and I attending a house visit for a very peaceful and relaxed Euthanasia. The owners family recognised me as doing the same for their beloved pet about 5 years ago when I was with my previous practice.

This just goes to show that owners remember and really appreciate the final days of their companions lives and how everything is handled in the end. Such a lovely family and so glad I could help them once again when it was time

🐣 This week I went to see my lovely friend Jenny who runs Moos on Thames and is a fellow RVN. This month is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month so I thought I’d share a photo of this wonderful lady and some chicks that she has hatched for the farm!

If you’re near Swindon definitely stop by for a milkshake/coffee/goodies from the vending machine there! 🥰

🩺 Had a lovely little chat with the younger generation talking at Ellie’s school this week. So many insightful questions and lots of aspiring careers too! 🐶
