The absolutly georgeous Geoffrey came in to us recently to have surgery to repair his umbilical hernia. It had suddenly become larger and painful.
Umbilical hernias are the most common hernia seen in our pets. They occur due to the tissues not fusing closed, after being born, where their umbilicus joins to their abdomens. These can sometimes not cause a problem but sometimes abdominal contents such as fat, intestines or other organs can slip out through the hole and get stuck, requiring emergency surgery
We want to wish Geoffrey a quick recovery and look forward to many more cuddles as he grows!
If your pet has a hernia, and spot any of the following signs, call us immedietly on 01752 763998;
🐾 Sudden swelling of the hernia
🐾 Painful when touched
🐾 Redness
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea

As we start to enjoy crunchy-leaved autumn walks, it's important to be aware of Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) - a rare condition that can affect dogs during the autumn months.
Symptoms usually appear 1-3 days after a woodland walk. These symptoms can have many causes, but it's worth knowing that SCI is one possibility, even though it's thankfully very rare.
Some areas are known to be associated with cases and we advise looking out for signage and keeping an eye on local news. Don’t worry though - the vast majority of woodland walks are perfectly safe.
❓ What causes SCI?
The exact cause is still unknown; awareness and early treatment is key.
📞 Worried about your dog?
If your dog shows any unusual symptoms after a woodland walk, contact your vet.
Stay safe and enjoy your autumnal adventures! 🍁
