💕🐾Happy Update - Rehomed 🙌

This little guy was brought into us as a stray over a week ago with an injured front leg. As it is rare for ferrets to be microchipped, we weren't sure who his owner was or how long he might have been missing for. After several attempts to find his owner, he was signed over to the practice for us to treat his injured leg. One of our vets took an x-ray to see what might be the problem and found this poor little man had dislocated his elbow! After trying to replace the dislocated joint, we realised that the damage was too far gone and likely an old injury at this point. In order to provide the best long-term outcome for him, his leg was amputated a few days ago. As you can see, this doesn't stop him from zooming around! Ferrets cope remarkably well on three legs, and hopefully this little tri-pawd can find a new loving home soon" # # # #

For those cats most at risk, yes, you can apply sunscreen. 🧴 Any cat can be at risk of sunburn, however, cats with white, thin or no hair are at higher risk. As with people, repeated sun exposure can lead to sore and damaged skin, which in turn can lead to skin cancer. Here are a few tips 👇

🐱 Only use sunscreen that is specifically for pets.

🐱 If you are using a new product, monitor your cat for any reactions.

🐱 Focus on applying it to their nose, the tips of their ears, their belly and groin areas, along with anywhere that has thin to no fur.

🐱 After applying, distract your cat with a treat or play to allow the product to be absorbed without being groomed away.

🐱 If you would prefer not to put anything on your cat, restricting their access outdoors during the hottest part of the day may be necessary.

🏥 If your cat is showing any signs of sunburn or skin cancer, or if you would like advice on the best sunscreen for your cat and how to protect them from the sun, contact your vet team for help.

🪱25% of dogs have toxocara eggs in their fur
🪱86% toxacara eggs were found in parks sampled across the uk
