Meet one of Boundary’s newest patients, Betsy! 🐾💛
This little bundle of fun got herself into a bit of mischief while out on a walk with her mum when she spotted a conker on the ground and decided it looked like the perfect snack!🌰
Betsy’s mum acted quickly and brought her straight to us, as conkers can be toxic to dogs, especially little ones like Betsy.
Conkers are toxic to dogs because they contain a poisonous chemical compound called aesculin. Found in all parts of the horse chestnut tree, this toxin causes severe stomach upset, vomiting, and in rare or severe cases, neurological issues.
Despite being only 8 weeks old, Betsy absolutely smashed it during her visit! She was such a brave and well-behaved girl for our clinical team. 💪✨
We’re happy to say she left the practice safe, well, and ready to continue her adventures (hopefully with fewer conkers involved!)
Well done, Betsy! 🐶💖
