🐾Could Your Pet Have Diabetes? Know the Signs!🐾 Diabetes isn’t just a human condition—our furry friends can get it too! It happens when their body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it properly, leading to high blood sugar. ✨ Signs to Watch For: 🐶🐱 💧 Drinking & weeing more than usual 🍽️ Always hungry but still losing weight 😴 Feeling tired or weak 👀 Cloudy eyes (which could mean cataracts) A simple blood & urine test at the vet can confirm diabetes. With the right care—diet changes, insulin (if needed), and regular check-ups—diabetic pets can still live long, happy lives! 💙 🐾 If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your pet, bring them for a consultation ASAP. Early diagnosis makes all the difference! 🩺✨ #LHPVet #PetDiabetes #HealthyPets #FurryFriends #VetCare #DiabetesAwareness #HappyAndHealthy #ResponsiblePetOwners

🐾 Why Do Pets Become Fussy Eaters? 🐾 Has your pet suddenly turned their nose up at their food? It can be frustrating, but there’s usually a reason! Here’s what might be going on and how you can help: 🔸 Health Issues – Dental problems, tummy troubles, or infections can affect appetite. If your pet’s eating habits change suddenly, check with your vet. 🔸 Diet Changes – Switching food too quickly can upset their stomach. Always transition gradually. 🔸 Boredom – Just like us, pets can get tired of the same food! Adding variety can help. 🔸 Stress & Anxiety – Changes in routine, environment, or new pets at home can put them off their food. 🔸 Food Quality – If the food smells or tastes off to them, they won’t eat it! Always ensure it’s fresh and high quality. 💡 How to Encourage Eating: ✔ Stick to a regular feeding routine. ✔ Try different flavours or textures (but transition slowly!). ✔ If your pet is on a prescription diet—stick to it! ✔ When in doubt, chat with your vet. A sudden change in eating habits can signal an underlying issue, so always keep an eye on your furry friend. ❤️🐾 Always remember to ask your vet or vet nurse for nutritional advise if you are not sure. We are always hear to help. #LHPVet #FussyPets #PetCare #HealthyPets #VetAdvice #ResponsiblePetOwners

🦷🐶 Why Your Dog/Cat Needs Anaesthesia for a Dental Procedure 🐶🦷 We all know how tricky it can be getting our pets to sit still for a photo—now imagine trying to get them to keep their mouths open while a vet pokes around with sharp instruments! 😅 Unlike us, they don’t understand what’s happening, which is why anaesthesia is essential for a safe and stress-free dental procedure. Here’s why it’s so important: 🔹 Keeping them safe – Even the calmest pet can get a bit wriggly, and that’s dangerous when there are sharp tools involved! 😬 🔹 A proper check-up – Vets need to examine every part of your pet's mouth, including taking X-rays to spot hidden problems beneath the gums. 🦷👀🩻 🔹 Pain-free treatment – Many dental procedures, like scaling under the gumline or extracting teeth, would be extremely uncomfortable without anaesthesia. 😖 🔹 More than just a clean-up – Dogs actually have more teeth than humans, and they’re bigger, sharper, and packed tightly in the jaw—so some extractions are almost like mini surgery! 🏥 🔹 Protecting their airways – Dental work involves water and debris flying about. While under anaesthesia, your pet has a special tube in their windpipe to keep their airway clear and safe. 😴💨 💉 Modern anaesthesia is very safe – especially with today’s monitoring equipment. For older pets, we can run blood tests beforehand to check if they’re fit for the procedure. Some pets even get an IV drip to help maintain blood pressure. A thorough health check before the procedure can also help detect any underlying issues, like heart disease. ❤️✅ Got questions about your pet's dental health?

⚠️📽️Graphic Content⚠️ 🐾 The Hidden Danger of Dental Disease in Pets 🦷 Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, yet it goes unnoticed by most pet owners? Without proper care, your pet could suffer from painful gum inflammation (gingivitis) and infections around the teeth (periodontitis). Left untreated, dental disease can lead to tooth loss, abscesses, and even serious bacterial infections affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. 😟 Regular dental check-ups and at-home care from a young age can make all the difference in keeping your furry friend healthy and pain-free. We usually recommend starting yearly oral exams for your pets by the age of 3. During the consultation, we can determine if your pet needs a professional dental cleaning.
