Autumn is here and Acorns and Conkers are falling, please be aware, if ingested by your dog, these can cause an array of issues such as intestinal blockage if swallowed and Liver damage and poisoning if chewed.

This link has lots of info about Acorns and Conkers and what they can cause if your dog should eat them.

It’s time for those fresh, autumnal dog walks - but what if your dog eats something they shouldn’t? Learn more about the dangers of acorns and conkers for your dog.

Please don’t put your rabbits on their back 🚫

We’ve seen a rise in photos and videos showing rabbits lying on their backs with captions like “they love this!” - but the truth is, they don’t.

This position is called tonic immobility or “trancing.” It’s not cute or relaxing, it’s a fear response. If your rabbits choose to flop like that themselves, then that’s absolutely fine but when forced onto their back, rabbits may appear calm, but they’re actually frozen in panic, waiting for danger to pass.

🚫 Trancing is not safe. It causes high stress and spikes in heart rate.

🚫 It's not a natural or harmless way to calm your rabbit.

🚫 Repeated trancing can damage the bond of trust between you and your bunny.

Please be kind. Learn more and help us spread awareness: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/trancing/

So sad, please be vigilant when walking. They are most active during the day, particularly in sunny weather.
While adders are venomous, bites are rarely life-threatening to humans, though medical attention should be sought.
Dog bites should be treated as an emergency and require immediate veterinary attention. Adders favor open habitats like heathland, moorland, and open woodland edges.
They are also found in coastal areas, particularly on cliffs and dunes, and on chalk downland.

A nine-year-old cocker spaniel, Poppy, has died after being bitten by an adder 😞
She started to limp after walking in Nailsworth.

Initially the vets thought it was a pulled muscle but eventually they found two puncture marks - indicating an adder bite ➡️ bbc.in/3TTcQ4w

Cold Water Shock:

Sudden immersion in cold water can cause a shock response, leading to rapid breathing, a spike in heart rate and blood pressure, and potentially even involuntary gasping.

Smaller dogs, puppies, or dogs with certain health conditions are more susceptible to the negative effects of cold water as well as us hoomans!

As tempting as it may be to jump into cold water, be it the sea or a lake, it comes with dangers.

Be mindful of the water temperature and avoid letting your dog swim in extremely cold water.

If the water is cold, limit the time your dog spends swimming.

Also, closely monitor your dog if swimming in the sea, seawater is generally bad for dogs if ingested in large quantities due to its high salt content. While a small sip might not cause immediate harm, excessive consumption can lead to dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, even more serious health issues like seizures or kidney damage. Ensure they are not swallowing too much water.

Keep yourselves and your dogs safe around water.

Cold water shock is the body’s natural physical reaction to sudden immersion in cold water. The response is immediate and can lead to drowning.
