Following on from our little prickly friend the other day we thought we would remind you all to keep an eye out for hedgehogs in your garden. 🦔

Now that they are awake and out of hibernation you may see a hedgehog or two in your garden at night. They are important little creatures and we need to protect them.

For Hedgehog first Aid information The Hedgehog Preservation Society website is a great place to look. https://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/found-a-hedgehog/

We had a prickly little visitor today! 🦔

This little guy was found this morning after falling down some steep steps. He was wandering round the garden rather disorientated in the daylight. His rescuers sensibly put him in a nice cardboard box with some shredded paper to hide in and then contacted us.

He seems healthy and is a sizeable boy! Hopefully after a rest and some food he will be able to return to his garden this evening. ❤️🦔

💕 Today is National Hug Your Dog Day! 💕

Show your pooches a bit of extra love today. Give them a hug, go for a nice walk and remember why we have these wonderful creatures in our lives!

Dogs give us so much. Companionship, unconditional love and a reason to get up and get out each day. We certainly need them as much as they need us. ❤️

What is nicer than some BBQ food in the sunshine?! 🍖🥩

We all love it, and so do our pets! However, it really isn’t good for them. As sad as that sounds, it is true. Fatty barbecued meat can cause our pets to have upset tummies and conditions such as Pancreatitis.

We see a lot of gastric upsets at this time of year, as the weather changes and everyone gets the BBQ out. Nobody wants the food to go to waste, so the cat and dog often get to eat the left overs.

There are better, safer treats for our furry friends! Avoid the fatty meats!

Now that the weather is improving and our pets are getting out and about a bit more accidents can happen. Do you know when your pet needs to see a vet?

There are a few things that are an emergency that require immediate veterinary treatment, while others are less urgent. Have a read through the list to familiarise yourself with what a true emergency is.

The most important thing to remember is to KEEP CALM! Take a deep breath, take a look and decide what you need to do.

⛑️ Put together first aid box and keep it in your house or car.

Things you may need:

Gauze swabs
Bandage
Saline solution for cleaning
Towel
Tape

💙 Harry 💙

Harry caused his mum some concern when he couldn't put any weight on one of his legs during a lead walk. Fortunately, after some rest, his condition improved, and his back pain is now under control. We will continue to monitor this handsome boy closely.
Stay strong, Harry 💙 We're here for you!

This is Bailey! Isn’t he handsome?

Bailey came in to see us today for his booster vaccination.

Previously Bailey has had a lot of anxiety issues in relation to coming to the vets. He used to find it very stressful and upsetting. We have worked really hard with this lovely boy and it is now a much more enjoyable experience for him and for us!

Well done Bailey! Today was your best visit yet! ❤️

With the warmer weather approaching and the grass starting to grow it’s time to prepare your outside space for your small furries. 🌤️

Guinea pigs, and rabbits, love spending time outside! Grazing on tasty grass is definitely a favourite past time for most. Having a safe outdoor space is important so that your guinea pigs and rabbits can enjoy the great outdoors in safety.

A large run is perfect. The bigger the better! Lots of hiding places are a must, they won’t feel safe if they don’t have somewhere to hide. Don’t forget protection from the sun, shaded areas so that they don’t over heat. 😅

If your guinea pig or rabbit isn’t used to going outside introduce them gradually to being outdoors. Build up the time they spend outside slowly, ensuring that they aren’t stressed and overwhelmed. Before long they won’t want to come back indoors! 😎

Springtime can have its challenges for some pets. Just like people, pets can have allergies to their environment. Quite often these allergies begin to flare up during the Spring.

As pet owners we should keep our eyes peeled for any signs that our pet may be suffering from an environmental allergy. There are a few common signs that we can look out for.

🐾 Skin that is itchy all the time. Biting and chewing at themselves causing self trauma.

🐾 Ears that are itchy and inflamed. Constantly scratching at their ears and rubbing them on surfaces.

🐾 Poor coat quality. Fur that is dull and scurfy or greasy.

🐾 Paws that are red and inflamed. Chewing and licking at paws, especially after a walk is a sign they are itchy and uncomfortable.

🐾 The eyes and muzzle can be itchy. Rubbing the muzzle and face area on legs or other surfaces to relieve the itch and discomfort.

🐾 A**l gland issues come hand in hand with skin issues. Often a**l glands cause more problems when their is. Food allergy present.

If you think your pet may have an allergy, or you are concerned because they are showing some of the symptoms listed, just give us a call and book and appointment.
