SPRiNG HAZARDS FOR YOUR PETS - Spring brings increased risks to pets from toxic plants 🌷, parasites, household hazards like fertilizers, snail baits and chocolate 🍫(Easter weekend 🐣).
Warmer weather increases allergic reactions, “high-rise syndrome” from open windows and drinking from still small waters/ponds can increase the risk of leptospirosis infections (check your pets vaccines ‼️).
• Toxic Spring Plants: Lilies (deadly to cats), daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, rhododendrons, and azaleas can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, or heart/kidney failure if ingested.
• Parasites : As temperatures rise, fleas, ticks, and worms become active. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, and they should be checked for after every walk.
• Garden Products: Fertilizer, insecticides, and herbicides are often toxic.
• Slug/snail pellets contain Metaldehyd and are highly toxic.
• Allergies: Pets can suffer from environmental allergies, causing itchy & inflamed skin, sneezing, and paw-biting.
• Open Windows: Secure all screens to prevent falls, particularly for cats (“high-rise syndrome”).
• Chocolate/Easter treats: Dangerous to dogs and cats
• Bee/Wasp Stings: Can cause swelling and severe allergic reactions.
• Grass Seeds: These can enter a pet’s ear or fur, causing pain and matting.
• Shedding: as the weather warms up, pets begin to shed their thicker winter fur in exchange for a lighter summer coat. Brush your pets regularly to avoid hair matting & itchiness.
• The longer daylight hours affect hormone levels and brain signals in animals, leading to changes in behaviour. Combined with increased outdoor stimulation, this can lead to heightened excitement or activity in your pets… ☀️ enjoy a safe springtime with your family & pets in besutiful awaking nature & contact us for prophylactics & vaccine control 🌸 your team

ZUKUNFTSTAG 2025 - “Future Day” is held once a year in November when girls and boys discover the diversity of the professional world and thereby expand their future prospects.
Future Day also strengthens the courage and self-confidence of young people to not focus on stereotypical role models, but rather on their own interests and talents.
We had 6 interested and enthusiastic girls spending half a day in our clinic, attending medical appointments for pets, watched anesthesia and surgery going on and and got involved in practical training in veterinary-medical skills. Our patient “Teddy” was a pro due to regular medical training and very well behaved.
All his medical issues and far beyond were treated with excellent tender love and care 😻
Note: we do encourage boys to consider a job in the veterinary field, although our profession has changed from being male dominated to an almost female rouled job industry it is as always the combination that makes the dream work best...❤️ we like to thank all the involved including our vettech apprentices Otilija & Aliya for the great assistance on that special day 🙏

AUTUMNAL HAZARDS FOR PETS 🍁 - check out
1. Chestnut 🌰 contain poison which can cause drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain,
Ingestion can also lead to potentially fatal intestinal blockages.
2. Acorns 🍁contain a chemical that’s toxic to dogs and ingestion can cause liver and kidney damage. Affected dogs will show signs that include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and abdominal pain.
3. Fallen leaves 🍂 left long enough will eventually turn to leaf mould and, like any decomposing organic matter, may contain dangerous mycotoxins,
4. Rotten/fallen fruit such as apples, pears and plums eventually ferments naturally on the ground and so may contain poisonous ethanol 🍐
5. Avoid grapes - contact your veterinary clinic if ingested by your dog, just some berries can cause serious kidney problems 🍇
6. Ensure your dog has up to date flea treatment administered as fleas can thrive indoors when we start to heat our homes in autumn ‼️
7. Keep halloween treats and sweets out of reach for your pets 🎃
8. Harvest mites, these tiny insects climb up long grass, bushes and trees waiting to sink their fangs into something warm-blooded. Signs of infestation can include skin inflammation and scratching.
9. Some wild mushrooms 🍄 are highly toxic and if swallowed can cause kidney and liver failure. Try and keep your dog away from all wild varieties.
10. Darker nights can reduce your dog’s and your ability to be seen 💡Ensure you and your dog are visible with reflective leads, collars and vests. Always take your phone with you for extra lights or emergency calls…
11. Rock salt or grit on the roads can cause your dog to become dehydrated or in serious cases, cause liver failure if they lick it from their paws. Ensure you wipe away any rock salt after you have taken them on a walk.
12. Antifreeze - ❄️ (ethylene glycol) is sweet-tasting and palatable, but even a small quantity can cause severe kidney damage. Dogs who have ingested antifreeze may vomit, have seizures or have difficulty breathing.
We wish you a happy, colourful, sunny, foggy, wrapped in comfy blankets autumn 🍂 🍁

LONGEViTY iN DOGS - general recommendations that can improve the longevity of your dog ‼️
1. Regular (approximately twice a year) veterinary checkups at your trusted veterinary practice. This includes early detection of chronic or acute illnesses, pain conditions, or behavioral changes such as dementia, prevention through customized vaccination schedules, parasite prophylaxis, and the very important monitoring of (oral and dental) dental hygiene and health. Especially in older dogs, untreated dental problems can lead to heart and circulatory problems.
2. Diet and weight management: avoid obesity at all costs, adjust calorie and protein intake according to age and any illnesses, and consider supplements if necessary (after consultation with your veterinarian, possibly with blood tests beforehand).
3. Regular exercise, i.e., joint walks/hikes contribute to maintaining muscle mass and strengthening the heart and circulatory system. Movement matters- even if it’s just one house down.
4. Quality time in the presence of the owner, whether it be daily brushing, petting, or cuddling – a shared moment. These activities contribute greatly to the bond between the animal and its owners, and the mental stimulation contributes to emotional well-being. A home where animals are cared for and loved safely and in a species-appropriate manner can certainly contribute to promoting health.
5. Daily general checks of your pet’s behavior or specific symptoms contribute to the early detection of illness and can increase your dogs quality of live after a consultation at your trusted vet clinic. Never hesitate to contact us, you know them best and recognise any change first.
REMEMBER One day they won’t be here and it will hurt more than you expect…so love them as it was borrowed time ❤️

ABSCESSES iN CATS - our unfortunate kitty patient of the day got into a cat-fight with a bully furry neighbour… you might hear cats arguing and scream at nighttime and as a vet I just dread one or two new patients will form abscesses from bite wounds anywhere on their body, get feverish and be hurt. Cat bites and scratches are considered dangerous (also in humans), since they always carry a lot of bacteria in their mouth cavity and will transfer it while biting. After the fight your cat might just act a bit “abnormal” , like being less active, resting longer, does not like to be touched anywhere, might growl or scream when holding . The first days the small bite holes in the skin of the canine teeth can go unnoticed by the owner… they are very small, are difficult to see trough the fur, might not bleed for long and close quickly. One to three days after the dispute inflammation, infection, pain with swelling, redishness and reduced general condition might worsen. Please check in with your favorite vet clinic for a close control of your brave kitty - the wounds after a fight will be controlled, abscesses might have been formed and your cat might need a wound management even in sedation including wound cleaning, debridement and closure with a drainage plus anti-inflammatory medication added by antibiotics as well. In the abscess of our patient if the day we even found rests of tooth tarte - another reason you might want to regularly check your cats teeth by a veterinarian 😻 good recovery, bravest 🐈‍⬛

SUMMER SERiES - WATER iNTOXiCATiON iN DOGS 💦 Water poisoning is not as you might think caused by polluted/toxic water, but simply by TOO MUCH water ‼️ These clinical symptoms occurs especially in the summer months when dogs bathe or play in or with water. If a dog drinks too much water or ingests it unconsciously while playing, the electrolyte balance in your pets body cells becomes unbalanced. The vital electrolytes include minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. The sodium content in the cells decreases and water is stored. This causes the cells to swell and expand.
Water retention occurs in important organs such as the brain, lungs and/or liver. Symptoms of water poisoning in dogs include:
• vomiting,
• bloated stomach,
• restlessness,
• severely dilated pupils,
• fatigue,
• strong salivation,
• coordination disorders,
• muscle twitching,
• cramps,
• Inability to urinate to the point of
• Unconsciousness.
Not all symptoms do necessarily occur and at the same time, but your pet only shows some of them and is feeling poorly, please act quickly and consult a veterinary emergency service ‼️ Water intoxication can become fatal within a few hours… The best way to protect your dog from water poisoning is to keep an eye on him and not let him play in the water too long. We wish you a shady place, cool drinks and walks in the woods to get over the next hot summer days ☀️ #
