Norman popped in for his final puppy vaccinations, and he’s grown so much! Not long now before he’ll finally be able to use those big paws for his very first walkies! 🐾💙

Don’t panic! 🐝

As the warmer months approach, bees and wasps become more active, increasing the chance of pets being stung. While stings can be painful and worrying for owners, most are mild and can be managed at home.

How to treat a sting at home

* If the stinger is still present, gently scrape it out using a bank card or similar object (do not use tweezers, as these can squeeze more venom into the skin).
* For a bee sting, apply a small amount of bicarbonate of soda with water to help soothe the area.
* For a wasp sting, apply a small amount of vinegar to the sting.
* Cold water or ice packs wrapped in a towel can reduce swelling and discomfort.

When to seek veterinary attention

* The sting is around the face, mouth, or nose and swelling develops
* Your pet shows signs of an allergic reaction, such as vomiting or diarrhoea shortly after being stung
* They become lethargic or weak
* They have difficulty breathing
* Their gums appear pale
* They collapse
* They experience seizures

Muzzle training - Set your dog up for success 🐾

Are you scared of needles? 💉 Because some dogs are too!

Meet Rusty, Daisy’s rescue Cocker Spaniel, a happy friendly dog but when it comes to vet visits he’s a sensitive soul 🐶. Through positive muzzle training, Rusty has gained confidence and feels much more comfortable during the stressful vet visits.

Muzzles are not a sign of a “bad dog.” They are a valuable safety tool that help protect pets, owners, and veterinary staff, while also giving nervous dogs an extra sense of security and support.

At our practice, Daisy is always happy to offer advice on muzzle training and desensitisation to help make visits less stressful for both you and your dog 😊

Lucy VCA

I qualified as a veterinary care assistant in May 2025 and joined the team in September 2025, I enjoy all aspects of the job especially seeing improvement in patients and giving them lots of cuddles! I really enjoy working with the Morven team!

At home I have a collie x cocker spaniel called Willow, 2 kittens Tilly and Toby, a rabbit called Rocky and a hamster called Bonnie. In my spare time I enjoy socialising my friends, going to concerts and listening to music 🐾🐈‍⬛
