❗️PARVOVIRUS❗️

Parvovirus seems to be on the increase amongst some dogs again in the Teesside area. Be mindful where you walk your doggies and also ensure to keep up to date with your dog’s annual vaccines and any additional vaccines that can help prevent your dog getting parvovirus.

If your dog does have parvovirus, ensure to keep them indoors to prevent the spread or other dogs.

Parvovirus signs to look out for:
💩 Severe diarrhoea
🩸 Possibly blood in stool
🤮 Vomiting
🫩 Lethargy
👃 Very foul odour to body / stool
🤒 Fever / high body temperature - hot to touch
💧 Loss of appetite and not drinking / dehydration.
⚖️ Rapid weight loss and experiencing abdominal pain

If your pet is experiencing any of these signs, this is classed as an emergency and you must contact the vet right away for an appointment as this disease can be life threatening.

The sooner treatment starts, better chance of recovery. This can be a fatal disease.

🐕HEATSTROKE IN DOGS🐕

We've been banging on about this for years! HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY! Fortunately, now more and more professionals are communicating the same message!

Whilst the need for rapid cooling with COLD water (1-15°C) has been recognised for decades in equestrian and human medicine, the dog world has lagged behind, and very poor information still circulates. e.g. "cool the paws", "cover with wet towels", "avoid cold water as it will cause shock"

THE KEY MESSAGES ARE............

💦"WET THEN VET"💦

💦"COLD WATER IMMERSION" (1-15°C)💦
(If you can't immerse, keep pouring ANYTHING COLD over the dog - hose, soft drinks, milk, etc)

💦Dogs die of heatstroke because they were NOT COOLED QUICKLY ENOUGH, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE COOLED!

♨️RISK FACTORS FOR HEATSTROKE IN HOT WEATHER♨️

♨️Large dogs
♨️DOUBLE-COATED breeds
♨️Brachycephalic breeds
♨️June, July, August (UK)
♨️Exercise, being outdoors, left in cars

EDIT: - If a dog is PANTING, it's struggling to control its body TEMPERATURE! 💦HOSE IT TO COOL IT DOWN!💦

❤️PLEASE SHARE - Spread accurate information; potentially save a dogs life!❤️

If you don't believe me, look at the research: Beard S, Hall EJ, Bradbury J, Carter AJ, Gilbert S, O'Neill DG. Epidemiology of heat-related illness in dogs under UK emergency veterinary care in 2022. Vet Rec. 2024;e4153. https://bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/vetr.4153

As some of you are aware we are in attendance of Crufts 2025. We showed my dog on Thursday. Nyx was in a class of 27 junior bi***es. Although she did not get placed she was shortlisted and essentially came 6th out of 27.
