It’s Guinea Pig Appreciation day!🐹💜

Today is all about appreciating our Guinea pigs and learning more about their care!

❓ Did you know? Guinea pigs can’t make their own Vitamin C so this must be included in their diet!

EDIT: Thanks for the great guesses! Lily is a gorgeous Welsh Corgi🩷

?
Can you guess the breed of this cutie? 🥰

Lily came in to our Castleford branch for restart vaccines after having a different brand of vaccine for her first. Lily can have a big adult walk in a week avoiding areas with high consumption of rats☺️

🍫World Chocolate Day 🍫

This day was dedicated to appreciating the world’s most popular treat in the world. The celebration is believed to mark the day when chocolate was first introduced to Europe back in 1550.
We then started to celebrate this day every year on the 7th of July from back in 2009.

People love chocolate as a treat and love sharing treats with their pets but chocolate contains a chemical compound called theobromine which is toxic for cats and dogs.

‼️ If your dog or cat has eaten chocolate. Please ring the practice urgently to be able to be seen and for your pet to vomit up the chocolate.

🌱 Grass seed season has definitely arrived! We’re seeing more patients come in with grass seeds in various places, so make sure you’re checking your pets regularly for grass seeds especially if they like to run in long grass!

Due to their pointy end, grass seeds can easily pierce skin, enter the body and travel around causing issues such as abscesses and infection. Should you find a grass seed stuck in your dog, please contact the practice as they need to be removed quickly!

🐈 Ginger was seen by our lovely vet Karen on Wednesday and had a grass seed removed from his eye. The grass seed in his eye sadly caused an eye ulcer which is now being treated. Ginger was very brave throughout!

🦠 What is Brucella?

Canine brucellosis is a bacterial infectious disease that affects dogs, and is zoonotic which means it can be spread to humans.

💉Why do we test for it?

We test for it in dogs who have originated from abroad or who have travelled abroad to ensure the safety of our staff.

🐶 Symptoms in dogs?

* Pregnancy Loss
* Stillbirth
* Infertility in male and female dogs
* Weak puppies that die soon after birth
* Swollen Testicles
* Irritation of the skin around the testicles
* Lameness & back pain
* Swollen lymph nodes
* Low energy (lethargy)

Some dogs can be asymptomatic as Brucella can lay dormant in some dogs for many years so we do a simple blood test to determine if the dog has Brucella or not.

👩🏼‍🦱Symptoms in people?

People can catch Brucella from dogs through contact with the infected dog’s birthing fluids, tissues, or other reproductive secretions or by inhaling infectious aerosol during certain veterinary procedures.

* Flu-like symptoms
* Fever
* Sweats
* Headaches
* Fatigue & Weakness
* Joint & muscle pain
* Loss of appetite
* Back pain

Meet Rosie, she visited our Pontefract Branch to have her Brucella test which luckily came back negative!

‼️ Here at Greenwood & Brown, it is now our practice policy that we test your dog for this disease if they have travelled or originated from a foreign country.
