We have sadly taken a deceased male entire black and white cat from a concerned member of the public. He was found at the ellicombe end of seaward way. He was not microchipped, so possibly a stray.
If you have a possible connection with this cat, please contact the surgery by phone tomorrow.

‼️HEATSTROKE‼️

With hot weather starting early, do you know the signs of heat stroke in dogs and what to do if it happens?

Common signs
☀️ Excessive panting and drooling
☀️ Vomiting and diarrhoea
☀️ Bright red gums
☀️ Lethargy
☀️ Collapse and seizures

What to do
💦 Move them into the shade
💦 Offer them water
💦 Pour water over the dogs body
💦 Fan with cool air or air conditioning
💦 Contact your vet for further advice

To reduce the risk of heat stroke, avoid walking and playing with your dogs in the middle of the day when it’s hottest. Stick to cooler morning or evening walks.

Flat faced dogs, obese dogs and dogs suffering with laryngeal paralysis will be at an even higher risk of overheating.

Enjoy the warm weather and stay safe! ☀️
