🌟 Does Your Dog Have Arthritis❓ 🌟

Have you noticed that your pooch is a bit stiff in the mornings or a bit sore after a big walk? 🐕
It could be arthritis…🤔 In fact 1 in 5 dogs has arthritis. It is an incurable, debilitating disease of the joints that is often worse in winter.

Osteoarthritis is often noticeable later in its development because the initial changes within the joint are not visible. As dogs have 4 legs, they can shift weight and change their posture to cope with pain.
Often we hear pet parents say “he’s just slowing down..” or “he’s just a bit stiff”. It’s common for them to not notice changes in their dog's willingness to exercise and play as these changes occur over time and when they do finally show symptoms, the disease is already quite advanced and the dog is often in considerable pain.

Even younger dogs can suffer the effects of Osteoarthritis. If you’ve noticed your dog display any of the following signs, please book in for a quick check up. The pain of arthritis can be treated!

🔹Stiffness when getting out of bed in the morning
🔹Limping or stiffness after a walk or exercise
🔹Licking or gnawing at joints or paws
🔹Puffy joints
🔹Abnormal gait
🔹Reluctance to walk upstairs or jump
🔹Reluctance to play and run
🔹Changes in behaviour/aggression
🔹Postural change or muscle wastage

If you think your pet is showing any of the above signs, please contact us to book a consultation. 📞
Our vets will assess your pet, discuss the options with you, and recommend an appropriate course of treatment to help your pet feel more comfortable. ❤️

🌟 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. 🐾
