Grass seed season is here again! 🌾

These small innocent looking seeds can cause all sorts of problems for our pets.

Grass seeds have spikes or barbs on their surface, meaning they can embed themselves into our pets skin, ears or eyes. Once they have become stuck they will not come out on their own, and can sometimes migrate through the body, causing problems in a totally different place to where they first started!

Signs of grass seed related problems:
🌾 Sudden shaking of the head or being irritated by their ears
🌾 Closed, watery or inflamed eyes
🌾Limping
🌾 Irritation of the skin including incessantly licking or chewing paws
🌾Swelling between toes

The best way to prevent grass seeds causing a problem is to check your pets straight after a walk and remove any seeds before they become a problem.
Pets with furry ears and toes make them hard to spot so you have to become a grass seed detective 🕵️‍♂️

Also,if you can, during grass seed season avoid letting your pets run through the long grass, especially if they are prone to attracting these seeds!

If you suspect your pet has a grass seed related problem or are showing any of the above symptoms, please contact the practice 🌾

Meet Madeleine 🐢

Madeleine saw vet Jane this morning and was a perfectly behaved tortoise ⭐️

Here are 5 fun facts about tortoises,

Did you know...
🥬 A tortoises shell is built from over 60 different connected bones
🥬 Their shell is made of keratin so is incredibly sensitive to touch
🥬 A group of tortoises is called a creep
🥬 A tortoise can hold its breath for 10-30 minutes
🥬 To survive in dry climates, tortoises can store water for long periods of time so can go without food or water for months

Caring for OAPs... Old Aged Pets 🐾

Just like with humans, as our pets get older they can start to slow down. But with some small changes and monitoring we can keep them comfortable and happy and aged to purr...fection 🐾

Many of these conditions can be managed with medication to maintain a good quality of life.

Things you can do to help your older pets at home 🏡
🐾 Play is important to maintain your pets physical and mental health
🐾 Soft, comfortable bedding can help ease aching joints
🐾Non-slip mats to cover shiny floors can prevent slips and falls
🐾 Having predictable routines can help minimise stress
🐾Raising food and water bowls to make them easier to reach
🐾 Ramps to help pets climb onto sofas or in and out of cars
🐾 Feeding senior diets as these have a different balance of nutrients to adult pet food diets. There are specially formulated diets are also available to help manage medical conditions.
🐾 Nail trimming and regular grooming enables you to check for lumps and helps keep matts at bay.
🐾 Horizontal scratching mats are easier for older cats to use as they place less strain on arthritic joints
🐾 Litter trays with lower entry points and sides enable easier toileting as cats get older
