In the last of our pet healthcare tips series, today we look at the best ways of keeping your horse safe in hot weather.

First, it’s good know what the signs of heatstroke in horses are because the sooner you spot them, the quicker you can get treatment. Symptoms include an elevated heartrate, a high temperature, weakness, restlessness, and a general lack of coordination. If you think your horse has any or all of these symptoms, contact your local equine vet immediately.

Here are a few tips on how to keep your horse safe in hot weather:

• Make sure they have access to shade, especially important for horses who live outdoors permanently.

• Provide plenty of drinking water. Store it in cool, shaded areas to lower the chances of it getting warm.

• Lessen the load. If you work your horse, consider reducing their workload during hot weather and supplement this work with frequent drinks, shade breaks and pouring buckets (upon buckets) of water over them.

• Consider the time of day when making plans to take your horse out for a ride. Early mornings and late evenings will be best during hot weather.

• Avoid sunburn by applying sun cream to pink skin and sensitive areas, such as their heels or pink areas around the muzzle.

• Flies and midges become even more of a problem in hot weather. Fly rugs and masks can be very effective but in addition make sure stables are kept clean and fields poo-picked to make sure these areas are less appealing to flies.

For expert advice on your horse and their welfare, contact your local equine vet.

Each week, we’re sharing weekly pet care tips from our veterinarians. Today, we’re sharing what to do if you think your cat has been stung by a bee or wasp.

Cats are natural predators who like to play with anything that flies. But what happens when they paw or bite something that can fight back?

Cats are skilled at hiding when they're in pain, but some common signs they’ve been stung by a bee or wasp are excessive licking, being louder than usual, swelling in one area, pawing at the sting site and limping, or not wanting to put their paw on the ground.

Here are some top tips on what to do if your cat is stung by a bee or wasp this summer:

• Remove the Sting: Use a credit card or similar object to scrape it out, being careful not to push more venom into the wound.

• Treat the sting: To reduce swelling, gently apply an ice pack or a wrapped cold compress to the affected area.

• Monitor your cat: Most cats aren't hypersensitive to stings, so while it may be painful and uncomfortable, it should have no longer-term effects. However, just one sting can cause anaphylactic shock if your cat is allergic so beware of the signs, such as severe wheezing, sudden diarrhoea or vomiting or excessive drooling.

If you suspect your cat is having an allergic reaction to a bee or wasp sting, seek emergency veterinary care.

Here are this week’s pet healthcare tips from our veterinarians from across the world of IVC Evidensia.

Your rabbits’ routine health care treatments are always important, but particularly during the summer. With all those insects and parasites flying around, it’s worth keeping them up to date with vaccinations, parasite treatments and microchip details. Hot summer days can prove dangerous to our pet rabbits - because of their fur, they tend to heat up a lot faster than humans and are at a greater risk of heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

Here are a few top tips to help keep bunnies safe during Summer:

• Keep them in the shade - Try adding some tunnels or a cardboard box to their hutch, which will also allow them to carry out their natural burrowing instincts.

• Provide plenty of water - Use a bottle and a water bowl and top them up regularly so the water stays fresh and cool.

• Staying cool - While edible frozen treats like ice cubes aren’t recommended for bunnies as they can cause gastrointestinal trouble, they will appreciate a nice frozen water bottle to lie next to.

• Check regularly for Flystrike - More flies means a greater risk of Flystrike. If your rabbit is restless, refusing food or if you detect a nasty smell coming from their hutch, they may be suffering from Flystrike. Contact your vet immediately if this is the case.

To help keep your furry friends healthy we’re sharing weekly pet care tips from our veterinarians from across the world of IVC Evidensia.

Cats thrive on mental and physical stimulation. In the wild, they’d keep their minds busy hunting for food. Domestic cats, however, can get bored and become mischievous. Here are some tips to keep your feline’s mental health in check.

Enrichment tips for your cat:

• Cats love boxes! Egg cartons or anything with a simple open/close mechanism is ideal. Put some cat treats inside, shut the box and watch your cat figure out how to get them.

• Teach your cat tricks. Always use positive reinforcement (clicker training, for example) and reward them with tasty cat treats.

• Interactive toys, such as wands or catnip teasers, are good when you have time to play with your cat.

• Cats feel safe when they’re high up. Your cat should be able to see out of the window whenever they like. You could invest in a tall scratch post, or build something for your cat to perch proudly on top of.

If you’re concerned about your cat, their behaviour or their welfare, have a cat chat with your vet.

To help keep your furry friends healthy we’re sharing weekly pet care tips from our veterinarians from across the world of IVC Evidensia.
With many of us holidaying with our furry companions by our side, here are some top tips for the perfect holiday with your dog.

Tips for taking your dog on holiday:
· Check the weather forecast. Perhaps pack a coat if it's cold and a cool mat if it's hot. Look out for signs of heatstroke in extreme heat, which you can find out more about here > https://www.myfamilyvets.co.uk/heat-stroke-in-dogs
· Plan for the drive. Make sure your dog is safely secured with a dog car seat, dog seat belt, dog car harness or crate, both for your safety and theirs.
· When you get there, check out your surroundings. Look for any hazards and investigate where it might be safe to let your dog off the lead.
· Find out where the nearest vet is just in case something goes wrong.
