A**l glands are part of the exit portion of your dog’s digestive system, and they produce an important secretion that helps them communicate. 🐕

However, at times, these glands can get blocked due to overfilling or digestive issues like persistent diarrhoea. When this happens, the glands can get irritated and might even become prone to infections if not treated in time.

If you notice your dog is dragging their bum on the floor, nibbling constantly at that area or seems uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to give us a call! 📲

We may be a little biased, but we think that truly the best part of a party at a friend’s house are the pets! 🐕🐈

What about you? Are you more of a people person or are you playing fetch with your friend’s super cute dog five minutes into the evening?

Cats are very thorough about their hygiene and keeping their fur clean, so it’s not likely that they’ll need help with bathing! 😺

Exceptions would be if, for example, your cat gets their fur muddy while out and about, or if they have difficulties reaching certain areas of their body, which is common if they are overweight or into their golden years.

Excessive bathing can also lead to the loss of the skin and coat’s natural barrier functions and even cause local irritation, so don’t hesitate to talk to us if you don’t know whether to bathe your cat or not!

Knowing your pet’s normal vital signs like heart rate can be essential, not only in an emergency situation but also if you need to keep an eye on their heart rate during problems like kidney, respiratory or heart disease. 🫀

This is very easy to do! Find their heartbeat (best on the left side, just behind the arm) and count 15 seconds of beats then multiply this number by 4. As you start doing this, you’ll be able to get a good baseline and be able to identify any changes faster.

In case you spot anything concerning with your pet, don’t hesitate to talk to us!

This is Snuggles! 🐰

Rabbit’s teeth grow continuously throughout their life. They are worn down at the tops (crowns) by the action of chewing. If the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly, they won’t wear effectively, and that will cause serious problems. Incisors can grow to astonishing lengths, and molars will develop spurs (sharp points) on the outer edge of top teeth and the inner edge of bottom teeth. These shards will keep growing, and they’ll dig into the cheeks and tongue every time your rabbit moves his mouth or tries to eat.

Our Nurse Practitioner Lynne, was able to remove this piece of stick from a Labrador's mouth today. It had got wedged in the poor dog's palate (roof of mouth).

Please be aware of the dangers of dogs picking up sticks! These range from causing pain and discomfort to being a choking hazard and obstructing the airways.
