🔥 | Remember Remember…

Check bonfires before lighting them in case wildlife such as hedgehogs have taken shelter amongst the wood.

If you have one in your garden, PLEASE make sure it is completely out, especially before letting pets anywhere near the area.

Unsuspecting animals (wild or pet) can run over any embers, which may still be hot, and get burnt feet! ⚠

Ahead of Bonfire night tomorrow, lets talk Fireworks. 🎆

Fireworks can be stressful for pets, and it’s important to know the signs that your furry friend is scared. Trembling, hiding, trying to escape, excessive vocalisation, panting, or drooling are all common indicators of anxiety.

Here are some top tips to help keep your pets calm and safe during the fireworks:
🏠 Create a Safe Space: Set up a cosy, quiet room with their favourite toys and blankets.
📺 Noise Distraction: Play calming music or turn on the TV to help drown out the loud bangs outside.
🦮 Walk Earlier: Take your dog for a walk before dark, before the fireworks start.
🚪 Keep Them Indoors: Make sure windows, doors, and pet flaps are closed so your pet can't escape if they get spooked.
🐹 Don’t Forget the Small Pets: Move rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets indoors or cover their enclosures to muffle the noise.

If your pet gets distressed, speak to us about how we can help. Let's make sure our pets enjoy a peaceful, stress-free night! 🧘‍♂️

🌟 October Pet of the Month 🌟

Meet Benjie! Benjie has been a brave little soldier throughout the month of October with.... more issues than one!

As September finished, and October started, Benjie became a frequent flyer at the hospital, as he was suffering with swelling and a mass on one of his front feet. Benjie underwent investigations, and samples of the mass were sent to our external laboratories in the hope for a diagnosis. When the results returned, the mass was diagnosed as a fibroadnexal hamartoma with chronic active inflammation. These are non-neoplastic thankfully and represents abnormal growth of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Thankfully, after a course of anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, the paw soon healed up and was back to normal.

Unfortunately for Benjie, he found himself back in the hospital a week or so later as he was frequently vomiting and was getting quite dehydrated. Benjie's owners were right to be concerned and bought him straight into the practice. Benjie was admitted for investigations and it was concluded on an x-ray that he had eaten something he shouldn't have! Benjie was admitted to surgery to remove the foreign body, which, in this case, was an item of clothing. After nearly a week in hospital, Benjie was eventually discharged and has been thriving ever since!

We are so glad that Benjie is back to his usual self and hopefully, this has taught him to not eat anymore unfamiliar objects! Keep getting better Benjie and stay out of trouble from now on 😁 🥰💝
