A house full of pumpkins, lights and spooky decorations can feel magical at Halloween!

Just keep in mind that curious paws can quickly find themselves in trouble!

Before the celebrations begin, check that:

🕯️ Candles and lit pumpkins are somewhere pets cannot reach or knock over.

💡 Electrical cables and decorative lights cannot be chewed.

🕸️ Strings, fake cobwebs and small decorations are kept away to prevent accidental ingestion.

🚪 Doors and windows are secure when visitors are coming and going to prevent your pet from escaping.

A few simple precautions can help prevent an unexpected Halloween scare.

Save this post as a reminder for Halloween night and share it with your other pet owners!

Megacolon is a condition where the large intestine becomes stretched and loses its ability to move faeces through normally. It can develop after long-term or repeated constipation and may become a serious problem if left untreated.

Signs can include:

👉 Straining in the litter tray

👉 Passing very small, hard stools, or no stools at all

👉 Going in and out of the litter tray repeatedly

👉 Reduced appetite

👉 Vomiting

👉 Lethargy or hiding

👉 A painful or tense abdomen

Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination and X-rays, and sometimes blood tests or other investigations to look for an underlying cause.

Treatment depends on severity and may include fluids, laxatives, dietary changes, enemas or removal of impacted faeces under sedation or anaesthesia. In severe or recurring cases, surgery may be recommended.

If your cat is repeatedly straining, has not passed faeces, is vomiting or seems unwell, get in touch with us right away. Early treatment can help prevent constipation from becoming a much bigger problem.

Dogs explore the world with their noses and mouths, so it can only take a moment for a fallen conker to become an unexpected snack.

If you see your dog eat or chew a conker, don’t wait for symptoms to appear before asking for advice. Conkers are toxic because they contain aesculin and can also become lodged in the digestive system, causing a blockage.

Keep an eye out for signs such as:

⚠️ Vomiting or diarrhoea

⚠️ Drooling

⚠️ Abdominal pain

⚠️ Reduced appetite

⚠️ Restlessness, wobbliness or tremors

Symptoms usually develop within hours, although they can sometimes be delayed.

If you suspect your dog has eaten a conker, contact us promptly, and we’ll advise you on the next steps.
