Age does not have to be a limitation to anaesthesia and surgery. The lovely Cassie has made a remarkable recovery at 19 years of age!🤩❤️🎉
Cassie had a large and horrible tumour on her head and dreadful teeth. She also had a heart murmur and age related changes in her blood. However, she is a determined little Yorkshire Terrier that still had a zest for life. For a long time, the risk of anaesthesia and surgery had delayed us doing anything, but a time came when we decided, with Cassie's owner, that we had to proceed or to let her go.
Every pet is different, there are many factors to be considered before undertaking procedures in elderly animals. Anaesthesia and surgery always carry a risk but those risks have reduced with better techniques and anaesthetic agents over the years.
Cassie was under anaesthetic for one hour in which time the tumour was removed, leaving her initially looking a little surprised! 🫢😀 We also removed a huge amount of scale and several well bedded teeth in the minimum time possible.
She has delighted us all by making the best recovery.
It is difficult, because we do not have a crystal ball to know the future but Cassie is for now enjoying her life much better than before.❤️😃🐕

In view of the weather forecast , this is the veterinary advice. Heatstroke is better prevented than treated as the mortality rate is high. Take care everyone.
➡️ Dogs DO NOT DIE from missing a walk. They might if you risk taking them out in hot temperatures.
➡️ 26.56% of the dogs with heatstroke died
➡️ Nearly half (48.7%) of the dogs with heatstroke were dog breeds with flat faces. Flat-faced dog breeds were four times more likely to develop heatstroke than normal-faced dogs.
☀️ Protect your animals from the heat ☀️
🌞Dogs can get heat stroke on hot walks
🌞Animals get heatstroke in hot hutches they cannot escape
🌞Animals can get heatstroke if left in rooms with no ventilation
🌞Animals can get heatstroke if they have no access to cool water
We are hopefully aware now of the national UK campaign 'Dogs Die in Hot Cars' - this advice remains!
However, work by VetCompass has shown that 10 times as many dogs present for veterinary care related to heat-related illness (HRI) following exercise as dogs that present following being entrapped in a vehicle.
The most commonly cited reasons for triggering heat-related illnesses were exercise (51.46% of cases), hot environment (31.02% of cases) and hot vehicles (12.41%).
➡️Remember there could be a number of risk factors including:
✅Brachycephalic breeds
✅Age - juvenile or geriatric
✅Thick Coated Dogs
✅General Health
✅ Other illnesses
❌Do not leave animals in hot cars
❌Don't take your dog to the pub all day in the heat
❌Do not walk your dogs in the heat - remember even when the sun is down they may still get too hot while exercising if the temperature is still hot
❌ Ensure they aren't locked in rooms with no ventilation
❌Do not lock rabbits and guinea pigs in hutches with no escape from the heat
✅ Provide plentiful cool, fresh water
✅ Provide shade, ventilation and cool breeze ( consider using a fan)
✅Give them cool mats to lie on
✅ Engage in enrichment to boredom bust
✅ Provide rabbits and small furries with cool frozen bottles, shade, ventilation, escape from the heat and plentiful water
