🌱 Grass seed danger! 🌱

Its that time of year where our dogs are enjoying the joys of long grassy fields and wheat crops, but the dangers are high. Grass seeds can get into their skin, ears, eyes, nose and paws and become a medical emergency due to the high level of pain and discomfort.

The best ways to prevent grass seeds are:

📢Avoid high risk areas when out walking, keep your dog on a lead around tall grasses and crops.
📢Inspect after walks, check high risk areas on your pet for grass seeds.
📢Regular grooming, Brushing your pets coat frequently and keeping them well groomed with short hair.

How many of you have a grass seed story to tell?? Has anyone tried a Ear protector hat for their dogs yet??

We were super lucky at Village Vet Cottenham recently 🥰

This litter of Golden Retriever X Labrador Puppies were all brought in for their health checks, vaccinations and microchips!

They all got lots of treats and lots of cuddles, although, I think we enjoyed the cuddles more!

They were all perfectly behaved and we really didn't want them to leave!

Ticks are blood sucking parasites that belong to the spider family. They come only behind mosquitoes in the disease transmission stakes, spreading infectious disease to humans and animals.

There are three types commonly found in the UK:
🫥 Ixodes Ricinus- Sheep/Deer Tick
🫥 Ixodes Hexagonus - Hedgehog Tick
🫥 Ixodes Canisuga - Dog/Fox Tick

But all will bite us and our pets.

Recent studies show that ticks will only release salvia into the host at the second stage of feeding, which comes after 24 hours. So if we can remove ticks within this time frame it massively reduces the chance of infection and disease.

We prescribe several products that will kill ticks within 24 hours (the desired timeframe) so if your pet is treated monthly they will be covered.
It is also a good idea to have a tick hook which can be used to remove the tick safely.

Our nurses are always happy to assist our more 'squeamish' owners by removing the ticks here in consult.

Welcome to the First Aid Series!

Many simple wounds can be managed at home. Wounds which are small and superficial (meaning you cannot see any structures deeper than the skin, such as fat or muscle), for example minor cuts, scratches, skin irritation, and grazes, can be managed with gentle over-counter antiseptics.

A common choice is Hypochlorous Acid, such as that found in 'Leucillin spray'. This formula has great antibacterial and antifungal properties, which unlike some antiseptics, doesn't sting and doesn't slow healing. We tend to advise spraying it onto the wound 3 times a day. This also can be used safely to clean wounds after surgery, such as if the area has gotten dirty.

And saliva is the main reason for wound infections, so put a buster collar on too!!

If the wound does seem large, deep, hot, swollen, red, painful, or oozy, please do book to be seen by a vet.

Ever wondered what to do if a bee stings your cat?
Or maybe how to look after a graze on your dogs thigh?
Or why those 3 different flea products you got from the shop haven't solved the problem?

The cost of living is squeezing us all, and we want to help you as best we can to avoid unexpected vet bills.
That's why over the summer we will occasionally be posting a 'First Aid Series' with helpful tips on common problems.

So make sure you're following us, and add us to your favourites if you want to be sure these appear on your feed!

Feel free to comment any topics you'd like us to cover!

(Please note, we cannot give out tailored advice on social media for your pets specific situation, as there's strict rules about how we must treat animals under our care)

One of our Client Care Assistants, Sarah, has been working with our local college, College of West Anglia, to optimize our paper recycling efforts.

All of our confidential waste has been shredded and taken to the college to provide bedding for mice, rats, degus, gerbils, and goats!
This will be an ongoing mission to help reduce our waste and support the local community with animal welfare at the core.

Heatstroke. Why do we care so much?

Did you know it carries a 23-50% mortality, with most dying in the first 24 hours?

This happens because heatstroke causes blood clotting disorders, leading to widespread, often fatal, internal bleeding. It also causes rapid and severe kidney failure. These are the main causes of death in heatstroke.

The inflammatory changes in heatstroke also cause death of cells in the lungs, heart, and brain. It's really quite hard to live without these things,
And the symptoms pets experience while these organs are dying is harrowing to watch.

It also causes damage to the stomach and intestine lining, and can cause really awful gastrointestinal illness.

Remember, if you think your pet has heatstroke, the first aid you must provide is rapid cooling. GET THEM WET, THEN TO THE VET.
But better yet, keep them out of the heat and prevent it from happening altogether.

Risk factors include large dogs, dark coat colours, obesity, old or young, brachycephalic, and heart and/or renal disease.
If your pet is on diuretics (or 'water pills') they will be at increased risk of dehydration too.

We hope you are enjoying the wonderful Sunshine ☀️

Just a reminder that heatstroke can strike really fast in these temperatures and although we often focus on dogs, it can really affect our smaller pets too.

Rabbits and Guinea pigs suffer in hot weather so must be kept in shade with fresh cool water available at all times.
It is also vital to keep their living space clean to prevent flystrike.
