Let’s talk dental disease 🦷

Dental disease is a painful and common condition. It’s important to check your dog’s mouth regularly as most dogs with dental disease continue to eat when they are uncomfortable and may not show any symptoms.

Some causes of dental disease are -
• poor dental hygiene from lack of brushing
• age - dental disease is common in older dogs due to wear and tear
• breed - some breeds are prone to dental disease
• diet - having dry kibble as part of your dogs diet may improve oral health
• retained baby teeth - dogs baby teeth begin to fall out around 4 months old, if their baby teeth don’t fall out, then dental problem can arise due to an overcrowded mouth.
• trauma - a fractured tooth is often extremely painful (as we know!) and can become infected. Fractured teeth can happen from chewing a hard object or from a head injury.

Symptoms include-
• bad breath, pain or difficulty eating - chewing on one side of the mouth, weight loss and decreased appetite, plaque and tartar, red inflamed and bleeding gums, wobbly, missing or broken teeth, excessive drooling, preferring soft foods to hard, swelling of the face, pawing and rubbing at his face and head shaking.

Treatments include -
• a dental procedure- a scale and polish, or possibly a removal.
• pain relief
• antibiotics

Unfortunately, our pets cannot tell us when they’re uncomfortable or in pain which is why things like annual vet checks are important so we can perform top to tail checks and ensure everything’s looking tip top!

As rabbit teeth constantly grow throughout their lives, making sure their dental health is looked after is a key part of keeping any rabbit healthy and happy.

This is often managed by feeding a high fibre diet - don’t forget a rabbit’s diet should be 90% hay or grass! 5% vegetables and 5% nuggets. In many rabbits, however, teeth overgrow & need veterinary care.

Rabbits have 28 teeth, 16 top & 12 bottom. The most noticeable being the four incisors - the long teeth at the front of the mouth.

The correct diet & having plenty of wooden chews to gnaw on is the main mechanism of keeping rabbit teeth healthy. Regular dental checks with the vet can ensure their teeth are healthy as it’s not easy to check inside rabbits mouths at home.

Signs of rabbit dental disease -
•Lack of appetite (note that rabbits need to eat very frequently to keep their guts moving - a rabbit that has a reduced appetite should always be seen by a vet asap)
•Runny eyes, wet chin or wet front legs.
•Facial swelling, rubbing face or lack of grooming.
•Faeces accumulating under the tail.

Treating rabbit dental disease -
At the clinic your vet or nurse will examine the teeth, using a scope to see the cheek teeth, this is not painful and can be done conscious. If there are any problems with the teeth they will need to be addressed under general anaesthetic 🐰🌾🌼

Cat Dental Health 😸

Starting young can be the key to great dental health, getting your kitten used to teeth brushing from the start can reduce the likelihood of having dental procedures done as they grow older. Make toothbrushing a part of your daily routine to get your cat used to it.

Oral hygiene gels are another option, they contain ingredients which fight plaque build up in the mouth. You can rub them onto your cats teeth and gums.

Signs of dental problems to look out for can be :
• bad breath which can be a sign on periodontal disease.
• red, inflamed or bleeding gums
• excessive drooling
• loose teeth
• build up of tartar
• receding gum line, pawing or rubbing at their face
• reluctantly to eat

We have further advice on our website such as how to brush your pets teeth! 😺

Dogs get dental disease just like we do, and this can affect their wellbeing and require treatment. Dental treatment normally has to be carried out under general anaesthesia, but there’s plenty you can do to minimise the chances of your pet needing dental procedures if you start from when they’re a puppy.

Plaque on dogs teeth causes gum inflammation (inflammation gingivitis). Your pets gums may look red or darker pink than the rest of the gums and they may bleed when your dog chews on something or has their teeth brushed.
Plaque produces a hard material called Tartar, and gradually the gums recede so much that the attachments between the tooth and socket break down and this gum disease leads to loose and diseased teeth, and a lot of pain and discomfort for your dog.

It’s important to have regular health checks with your vet who will check their mouth and teeth and look for any signs of gum disease, broken, discoloured, extra or missing teeth during the examination.

If you have any concerns for your dogs dental health, please book an appointment with one of our vets.

While most healthy dogs can recover without help, dogs who catch kennel cough can be unwell for several weeks, and also pass on the infection to other dogs.

This airborne disease is highly contagious and can be contagious for up to 20 days even if their clinical signs have resolved - therefore it’s important to keep your pets away from other dogs during this time.

The main signs of Kennel Cough are; a forceful hacking cough which may sound like retching, or trying to clear something stuck in the throat. This cough can last for many weeks! KC may go away by itself if your dogs immune system is able to fight off the condition - but some dogs may need some medication to help.

You can minimise the chance of your dog contracting kennel cough by having your dog vaccinated. This vaccination is given by a sq**rt up the nose, not an injection! The vaccine will do a great job of reducing the risk of infection and lessen the symptoms, however it doesn’t completely prevent your dog from picking up kennel cough as there are so many pathogens that can cause it.

Xylitol Poisoning ⚠️

Another awareness post! This time it’s about Xylitol ….

Xylitol is a sweetener used in many products, mainly used for sugarless chewing gum and sweets. Completely harmless to humans, but toxic to dogs! Some peanut butter brands contain xylitol so make sure you check the ingredients.

Signs of xylitol poisoning include -
⚠️ Vomting
⚠️Weakness
⚠️ Incoordination
⚠️ Depression and lethargy
⚠️ Tremors
⚠️ Seizures
⚠️ Coma

If you are concerned your dog has eaten a xylitol containing product, please call us immediately. Fast veterinary treatment is essential to reverse the hypoglycaemia and hopefully prevent the development of more serious signs.

🚨Cats with a blocked bladder🚨

• Urethral obstruction which is also known as a blocked bladder - is a common emergency we see. It is serious, painful and can be life threatening. Blocked bladders often occur in male, neutered, overweight and stressed cats but it can affect all so it is something to be aware and on the lookout for.

• This is due to the urethra (the tube that allows urine from the bladder to leave the body) being long and narrow in males, compared to females. Females rarely get blocked bladders however they can still get urine infections so still look out for these symptoms below.

• Blocked bladders are extremely serious and can lead to rapid decline.

Some signs to look out for are -
🚨 Blood in urine
🚨 Passing small drips of urine
🚨 Straining to toilet
🚨 Using the tray more frequently
🚨 Spending more time on the litter tray
🚨 Being vocal whilst using the litter tray

If you spot any of these signs please call us immediately on 01527 572040.

Most dogs will be fine outside as they are, but if it’s very cold, or if you’re spending a bit longer outdoors, then you might want to consider getting a coat for them and some protection for their paws. And as the evenings get darker, it’s important that both you and your pet can be seen easily in the dark. As well as reflective clothing, collars and harnesses, it’s also a good idea to choose items that produce their own light too. LED harnesses, collars and leads are readily available from Pets at Home and could help you both be visible in areas that don’t have a lot of lighting.

Grit and salt on your pet’s paws can make them sore, so it is a good idea to wash it off. It can also make them poorly if they lick it off, so always rinse your dog’s paws after walks.

The toxic component of antifreeze is called ethylene glycol. This is also sometimes found in snow globes. Ethylene glycol has a highly attractive taste, which means animals and even children can be drawn to it, so it’s important to keep it well out of reach. Uncleaned spillages can also get on pets’ paws, meaning they ingest the ethylene glycol as they clean themselves.

This is a problem for cats in particular due to their curious nature and sadly every year cats across Britain get seriously ill or die from antifreeze poisoning.

Rabbits and guinea pigs are not designed to cope with sudden temperature changes, so we need to take extra care of them when winter comes.

Top tips on keeping outdoor pets warm
❄️ consider moving them inside - a garden shed, unused garage or outbuilding make great indoor accommodation for our pets. Ensure that they are secure so no unwanted visitors can enter.
❄️ ensure their water doesn’t freeze by checking 2/3 times daily and changing it for a spare water bottle that you’ve kept inside if necessary, or try placing a heat pad under their water bowl so that does not freeze. You can also insulate the water bottle using a cover or bubble wrap.
❄️ provide a heat pad - ensure it is a pet safe one as we know small furries like to chew. You can put one under their bedding for them to lay on if required.
❄️ Ensure the hutch is well insulated by using a hutch covering and providing more bedding inside, and make sure the hutch is sheltered from winds so consider repositioning it if needed.

Keep an eye on your pet’s behaviour, if they seem sluggish, slow to respond, or if there’s any changes in their eating habits this could indicate they are cold or unwell. Monitor their eating and toilets habits and if there is any changes, then please call for advice.

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."

Four-year-old Sebastian the Jack Russell is back to his usual boisterous self after being treated at Vets4Pets Abingdon for a condition that was causing the knee caps on his back legs to dislocate when he walked.

The condition, known as medial patellar luxation, would cause him to hop or skip when exercising. It's quite common in terriers and small dog breeds, but Sebastian's case was quite severe and he was given surgery by orthopaedic surgeon Joe to deepen the groove his patella runs in on his right hind leg, and also to move and reattach his patellar tendon.

Sebastian is owned by practice vet Hannah who said: "After the operation he just wanted to get back to normal straight away but he couldn't ... and that's where we struggled. He wanted to be out and about, charging around and playing with his toys but he needed to rest." Hannah had to give him medication for six weeks to give his knees time to heal. She said: "He's absolutely fine now – he's fully recovered and running around like a lunatic again!"

When 11-year-old lurcher Jess was brought into Vets for Pets Leeds Birstall 24/7 Small Animal Hospital on Christmas Eve feeling very poorly with pyometra – a life-threatening uterus infection – the team knew they had to act fast; so vet Emily and nurses JD and Hannah headed straight in to perform emergency surgery on her in the early hours of Christmas morning.

The operation went so well that by lunchtime nurse Krishna was able to call her owner Beth to say she was well enough to come home to recuperate – and Beth made the hour-long drive from her home in Keighley so she could bring Jess home before the family sat down for their Christmas dinner. Beth said: "It was a stressful start to Christmas, as we were worried about Jess because of her age and because she's never had anything wrong with her before. We're so grateful for everything – it was so nice of them to come in on Christmas Day to operate on her, to look after her so well and to get her home on top form. The vets were fantastic from start to finish. Jess is recovering nicely – you can see the happiness is back in her!"

Krishna said: "Our night team always do an amazing job, and performing serious surgery like that at that time of night and on Christmas Day of all days is just brilliant. Jess did amazingly well to bounce back so quickly, and it was amazing being able to call her owners to say that she could come home to spend Christmas with them. It's the sort of call we all love to make, but doing it on Christmas Day was extra nice."

Six-foot-long boa constrictor Astrix was the centre of attention when he called in for a routine "top to tail" health check at Vets4Pets Penzance.

Astrix, who's four, is part of a menagerie of six snakes, bearded dragons and six dogs belonging to veterinary nurse Lowenna, who works at the practice, and her partner Mark. The team looked at Astrix's eyes and mouth and checked his breathing to rule out any respiratory infections and also checked his scales.

Lowenna said: "He got a clean bill of health, he was absolutely fine and everyone had a turn holding him. Asterix is quite reserved, a little bit shy usually. He did really well when he came in as everyone wanted to touch him and he was like 'okay I quite like the attention.' Astrix has got a lovely big set-up at home. He's quite a big boy, weighing in at nearly 10 kilos, so the vivarium is more than seven foot long. We have a reptile room and he has the run of it. He has a large bucket of water too if he ever wants to submerge himself."

This brave girl is collie-cross Sherpa, who the team at Vets for Pets Livingston say was "impeccably calm" when she was rushed in for emergency injury after hurting her eye in a freak accident.

Sherpa's owner Caroline was taking Sherpa for a walk when Sherpa caught her eye on a stick as she went exploring a bush. She was quickly admitted into surgery where she received X-rays and, after a two-hour procedure by practice owner Dr Adam, aided by nurse Erin, the stick was removed. Adam said: "Sherpa was amazingly tolerant following an extremely random occurrence. It was astonishing." Sherpa didn't lose her sight and is now making a great recovery.

Caroline said: “We were suddenly thrown into the worst living nightmare, it was absolutely horrifying. It’s truly a miracle what Adam and the team achieved from the moment they answered our call for help. They gave us hope."

This little Christmas cracker is Molly, who survived against the odds and gave birth to three premature puppies after being brought in to Vets for Pets Cirencester as a pregnant stray with severe injuries from a fight with other dogs.

Martina, who owns the practice, said: ”It was really touch and go and we thought Molly might not make it. The team treated mum first, got her on a drip and stabilised her before successfully managing to deliver the puppies – two boys and a girl – by caesarean section."

Molly, who's a Cairn Terrier, and her three pups are recovering well at home with Martina. “As they needed 24/7 care I took them home and emptied the whole spare bedroom so there was a nice, warm and comfortable quiet place for Molly and her puppies. I was attached to her for the first five days – my husband Matt even brought food up to the bedroom for me as I stayed there all the time. It was really hard work but it was all worth it. They’re absolute darlings and doing really well now – mum is already brave enough to go on dog walks.”

Martina says Molly will continue living with her in the future, and the puppies will be adopted when they are stronger.
