Ever wondered what really happens when we take your dog in to make them sick?

First they are injected with medication that induces vomiting, then they are assigned a nurse to monitor their vomiting.

Our nurses are there to catch the sick, wipe mouths, hold ears out the way, give back/tummy rubs and provide words of encouragement. They also have to check the sick to ensure the offending item(s) has been removed.

This lovely boy was in recently because he just couldn’t resist the chocolate cupcakes 🫣

Over the last 2 weeks we have removed these pesky things from eyes, ears and paws! Some dogs have even had multiple in one ear making them very sore 😔

🌾 Grass seeds, most commonly found in ears and paws especially in pets with long fur after being walked in areas with long grass. They sometimes go into eyes or up noses.

Signs of a grass seed issue can vary depending on the affected area, but may include excessive licking/chewing or scratching of the area, swelling, limping, head shaking, sudden or violent consistent sneezing.

Check your pet each time they come indoors and remove any seeds that you can see that have not yet pierced the skin.

☎️ If you are concerned your pet may have a grass seed stuck call us and book an appointment.

Last night we made an alarming discovery about our garden shed.

At the practice our shed is used to store a range of items and for that reason the temperature needs to be monitored.

We know a lot of people use garden sheds as housing for small furries so we wanted to share our temperature reading for yesterday at 6pm.

It’s a scarily high temperature so please be careful with your small furries if the shed is their usual home.

We’re set for some HOT temperatures over the next few days 🥵

So here’s a few things to remember:

• Animals die in hot cars and conservatories
• Fresh clean water must be available to your pets at all times
• Dogs DO NOT die from a few missed walks, they do die from heatstroke
• Ensure small furries all have appropriate shade in their hutches
• Check surface temperatures, if you cannot comfortably hold your hand on a surface for more then 7 seconds it’s not safe for your pets
• You can use an animal approved suncream for sensitive areas e.g. nose, ears and tummy
• Use a cool mat or cooling vest for pets
• Keep on top of grooming to make sure your pet isn’t too hot or uncomfortable
• Fans or aircon are a suitable way to cool an area your pets are in
• Beware of flystrike especially in rabbits
• During high temperatures ALL pets are at risk of heatstroke however watch out especially for young, elderly and overweight pets

Heatstroke is serious and life threatening, if at any stage you are concerned about your pet please call us immediately.

Stay safe 😎

💚 Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 💚

Bringing an end to meeting our nursing team is our student Phoebe. Phoebe joined us in November and just started college last month.

We asked Phoebe why she wanted to become a veterinary nurse; ‘I love working with animals and find their biology from species to species fascinating’.

She’s really enjoying that no 2 days are the same here at Cedars 🫣 and loves working within our close knit team.

Outside of work Phoebe enjoys park runs, kick boxing, archery and baking.
