👀Check out some new research from our RVC VetCompass research team
It reveals that scavenging, digestive diseases and gastroenteritis are some of the most common causes of diarrhoea amongst dogs in the UK.
The study sheds light on how frequently the condition occurs in different breeds, as well as on commonly used veterinary treatments and aims to help owners understand the condition more.

🐍 It's and this week we are featuring JD who is one of our Exotics Nurses.

"I've always had a big passion for exotics species, particularly reptiles. I was extremely lucky to do a nursing apprentice at Beaumont so knew that exotics nursing was where my heart was. After spending some time working in charity, I came back to continue to advocate for exotics husbandry and welfare and am thrilled to share my knowledge with our future vets. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 pigeons but have had an array of species over the years."

🐈Meet Kali, a sweet 12-year-old cat who recently visited us for a dental check-up after some tartar and gingivitis were spotted during a routine appointment.
🦷 Kali was put under anaesthetic for a thorough dental assessment which revealed resorptive lesions on three of her teeth. These painful lesions required surgical extractions of the affected teeth. We performed a full dental cleaning to ensure Kali’s mouth stays happy and healthy.
We’re so glad we were able to make Kali feel better.

🦜 It’s World Parrot Day! Did you know that most pet parrots aren’t given a proper diet?

Unfortunately, seed mix diets are still commonly fed, even though they’re typically high in fat and low in essential nutrients like calcium, amino acids, and vitamin A.

These imbalanced diets can lead to obesity and vitamin deficiencies, which may increase the risk of health issues such as respiratory infections and egg binding. The ideal diet for your parrot is a complete pellet-based food, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables.

🐇 Fly strike in rabbits, unfortunately, remains a common issue as the weather warms up, and in severe cases, it can be fatal. Rabbits are especially at risk if they are overweight, arthritic, or have difficulty keeping themselves clean and consuming their caecotrophs.
