Gastrointestinal Upset & Diarrhoea in Pets: What Should You Do?

We regularly receive phone calls from worried owners about pets with an upset tummy or diarrhoea. It's a common problem, but there are many possible causes, and it's important to know when your pet needs veterinary attention. 🩺

🐾 Why Do Regular Vet Visits Matter?

Our pets can't tell us when something doesn't feel right, and sometimes the early signs of illness can be easy to miss.

Regular vet check-ups help us to:

🐾 Spot potential health problems early
🐾 Build a health history (keeping track of your pet's health over time helps us recognise changes and identify patterns.)
🐾 Check dental health and weight
🐾 Keep vaccinations up to date
🐾 Review flea, tick and worm prevention
🐾 Monitor your pet as they get older
🐾 Provide personalised advice tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

Prevention is always better than cure, and routine health checks are an important part of helping your pet enjoy a longer, healthier and happier life. 💕

📅 When was your pet's last health check?

Get in touch with our team to book your pet's next appointment. 🐾

Unfortunately we have had a deceased ginger cat handed into the practice. It was found in Bushmills. It is not microchipped and it doesn’t have a collar or tag.

Please share so we can try and locate an owner.
