Swift Rescue! 🕊️

In August, a kind member of the public brought a grounded swift to our Walnut Tree practice. Swifts can’t take off once grounded, so our team gave first aid before arranging help from the amazing Swift & Swallow SOS volunteers. Thanks to their quick response, the bird is now in expert care and will soon return to the wild. 💚

A huge thank you to our community and Swift & Swallow SOS (https://www.facebook.com/groups/swiftsos/) for making this rescue possible! 🙌

Strange as it sounds — smells can be a big red flag when it comes to your pet’s health.

🐾 Bad breath? Could be dental disease.
🐾 Sweet or musty smell? Might be an ear infection.
🐾 Fishy whiff? A**l glands or something more serious.

If something smells off, don’t ignore it — your nose might just save your pet a lot of pain.

At MK Vet Group, we see conditions every day that could be caught earlier — or even prevented — if more people knew what to look for.

Top of our list:
🔸 Pancreatitis – not just a tummy ache
🔸 Pyometra – a preventable emergency
🔸 IBD – chronic tummy troubles aren’t “normal”
🔸 Dental disease – painful, common, and easy to miss

If your pet seems “a bit off”, don’t wait.
