🌟 FAQ: Why does my pet need to fast before surgery? 🌟

Before undergoing anaesthesia, pets need an empty stomach to help reduce the risk of vomiting or regurgitation while they are asleep. If food is brought back up during anaesthesia, it can accidentally enter the lungs and cause serious complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
Fasting helps us keep your pet as safe as possible during their procedure. ❤️

Water is usually allowed until a certain time, unless advised otherwise by our veterinarians. Puppies, kittens and some medical conditions may also have different fasting instructions, so always follow the specific directions provided by our veterinary team. 🩺

If your pet accidentally eats before surgery, please let us know as soon as possible. In some cases, the procedure may need to be postponed for safety reasons. 🐾

🌟 Geriatric Vestibular Disease in Dogs 🌟

If your older dog suddenly seems dizzy, off balance or is walking like the room is spinning, it can be very alarming to witness. One possible cause is Geriatric Vestibular Disease, sometimes called “old dog vestibular syndrome.”

This condition affects the vestibular system, which helps control balance and coordination. When it is disrupted, dogs may show signs such as:
🔹Sudden loss of balance or falling over
🔹Head tilt
🔹Rapid eye movements (nystagmus)
🔹Circling or walking unsteadily
🔹Nausea or vomiting

The good news is that while the signs can look severe, many cases improve significantly within a few days to weeks with supportive care. Treatment focuses on keeping your pet comfortable, managing nausea and ensuring they are safe while they recover. 💞

It is important to note that vestibular disease can look similar to more serious conditions such as stroke, so prompt veterinary assessment is always recommended.
If your senior pet ever shows sudden balance changes, please contact us so that we can assess them and guide the next steps. 🩺

🌟 National Rescue Dog Day 🌟

Celebrated every year on May 20, National Rescue Dog Day shines a light on the incredible dogs waiting for a second chance. 💛
Rescue dogs come in all shapes, sizes and personalities, each with their own story to tell. Some have had difficult beginnings, while others simply found themselves without a home through no fault of their own. What they all deserve is love, patience and a family to call their own.

If you have welcomed a rescue dog into your life, today is the perfect day to celebrate them and the joy they bring. Share their story, spoil them with extra cuddles or simply take a moment to appreciate the bond you share. 🐶
And if you are thinking about adding a dog to your family, please consider adoption. Your perfect companion may be waiting for you at a local rescue or shelter. 🏡

Tell us about your rescue dog in the comments below. We would love to celebrate them with you! 💕
