*Warning - not for the faint hearted*

Meet Wilbur! Wilbur loves running in the woods but one day last month things went horribly wrong during one of Wilbur's favourite walks.

He was running along chasing his ball when he jumped and landed with a huge yelp. His owner came running and found that Wilbur had impaled himself on a metal stake. His brave dad had to lift him off the stake and rushed him in to us at Haverfordwest surgery as an emergency. Things were a little touch and go at first while our team stabilised Wilbur and treated him for shock and pain.
Following x-rays we could say that Wilbur had been incredibly lucky and had landed at such an angle that the stake had glanced off his rib cage and did not pe*****te his chest cavity - phew! But there was still a lot of soft tissue damage, risk of infection and blood loss to deal with. Our vet stayed with Wilbur all night keeping his pain relief up and monitoring him for signs of deterioration with his breathing as he was not stable enough to travel.

Amazingly Wilbur made a miraculous recovery after a just a few days, and here he is in the picture at his final vet check signing him off. Also pictured is the metal stake - it pe*****ted up to the level of the pen tip!

What a lucky boy🥰

We’re expecting some hot weather this week. If it feels warm to you, it’s even hotter for your dog.

Skipping a walk is always the safer choice when it’s too hot. No dog has ever been harmed by missing one, but heatstroke can be deadly.

Find out how to spot the signs and keep your dog safe with our vet-approved guide: https://www.pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advice/heat-stroke-in-dogs

⚠️ Tick season is here – time to check your dog. Ticks love to hide in warm, hard-to-spot places. After every walk, give your dog a once-over, and pay extra attention to their ears, armpits, and between their toes.

Or keep pests at bay without the hassle with Pet Health Club. Our members enjoy year-round flea, worm, and tick treatment, so join today.
