Meet Jarvis 💚 this little guy was bitten by a snake 🐍 ! Not very common in the UK but it is important to note we do have them not many of our snakes are poisonous however the Adder snake is ‼️ so please watch out for signs when you are taking your pets for a walk in any fields, long grass or bushes 🐾 Jarvis is doing well and reviving nicely 🥰🫶
Please also note is you or a dog walker take your pets to ‼️Hounslow health Adder snakes are there so please please be careful ‼️

🐍 DOGS & ADDER SNAKE BITES: KNOW THE SIGNS 🐾
Adder bites can be painful and may become serious, especially if your dog is small, elderly, or has other health problems.
⚠️ Signs your dog may have been bitten:
• Sudden pain or yelping
• Swelling around the bite area (often face, nose, or legs)
• Lameness or reluctance to move
• Bruising or redness
• Shaking, weakness, or collapse
• Vomiting or breathing difficulties
🚨 What to do:
✅ Keep your dog calm and as still as possible
✅ Contact your vet immediately for advice
✅ Carry your dog if possible to reduce movement
❌ Do not try to suck out venom
❌ Do not apply a tourniquet
❌ Do not give human pain medication
Most dogs recover well with prompt veterinary care, but early treatment is important.
📍If you walk your dog in areas where adders live, keep them on paths and avoid letting them disturb snakes basking in warm weather.

Meet Max 💚 this beautiful boy had a tough run in with the grass seeds 😳 we got 10 out in total ! ✨ It is that time of year again guys please make sure we are checking our furry friends after every walk they’re small but they can cause so many problems and they are super uncomfortable ✔️

🐾🌱 Grass Seeds: The Hidden Garden Hazard for Pets
Grass seeds may look harmless, but some types can cause problems for our furry friends — especially during the warmer months.
⚠️ Common issues to be aware of:
🌾 Grass seed injuries
Some grass seeds have sharp, barbed ends that can get caught in a pet’s fur and work their way into the skin, ears, eyes, or paws.
🐕 Paw problems
Seeds trapped between toes can cause irritation, swelling, limping, or discomfort.
👂 Ear and eye risks
Seeds can become lodged in sensitive areas and may require veterinary attention if not removed.
🩺 Signs to watch for:
• Excessive licking or chewing at paws
• Shaking the head or scratching ears
• Redness, swelling, or discomfort
• Sudden limping
✅ How to help protect your pets:
✔ Check paws and coat after walks
✔ Keep long grass trimmed
✔ Remove troublesome seed heads from the garden
✔ Speak to your vet if you suspect a seed has become embedded
A little garden awareness can help keep tails wagging safely. 🐶🌿

Meet George 💚 he came in today for us to do an Ultrasound to have a look inside his belly he was a very brave boy 🫶 he was diagnosed IBD and he’s doing so much better after a lot of TLC from the team and his Fosters 🥰

🐱💛 Understanding IBD in Cats
Does your cat have a sensitive tummy? Frequent vomiting or diarrhoea shouldn’t always be dismissed as “just hairballs” or a picky stomach.
Feline Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a condition where the immune system causes ongoing inflammation in the digestive tract. This can affect how your cat absorbs nutrients and how they feel day-to-day.
🚩 Common signs of IBD in cats:
• Repeated vomiting
• Chronic diarrhoea or soft stools
• Weight loss
• Reduced appetite or picky eating
• Lethargy
• Changes in coat condition
🔎 How is IBD diagnosed?
Diagnosis may involve:
✅ A full veterinary examination
✅ Blood tests
✅ Faecal testing
✅ Ultrasound
✅ Dietary trials
✅ Sometimes intestinal biopsies
🍽️ Treatment and management
While IBD often cannot be “cured,” many cats can feel much better with the right management, which may include:
🐾 Special diets
🐾 Medications to reduce inflammation
🐾 Vitamin support
🐾 Regular veterinary monitoring
Every cat is different — what works for one may not work for another. If your cat has ongoing digestive issues, speak with your vet.

Meet Bertie 💚 Bertie came In today mainly for a cuddle 🥰 Dr Avneen lapping up the love ❤️ we also did discuss some of the medication Bertie is on to ensure everything is going smoothly and we are happy to report Bertie is doing great 😊

🐾💊 Why Medication Rechecks Matter for Your Pet’s Health 💊🐾
When your pet starts a new medication, a follow-up visit is an important part of their care — even if they seem to be feeling better!
🩺 Medication rechecks help your veterinarian:
✅ Make sure the treatment is working as intended
✅ Check for side effects or changes in your pet’s condition
✅ Adjust the dose if needed as your pet responds
✅ Monitor long-term health and safety
Pets can’t tell us how they’re feeling, and some changes may be subtle. Regular check-ins help ensure your furry friend is getting the safest and most effective care possible. ❤️🐶🐱
📅 If your pet is due for a medication recheck, schedule their appointment today!

Meet Buddy 💚 He had an enucleation on his eye and he stopped by today for his post surgery check up 🥰 with loads of TLC from his mum and our nurse Laura he is recovering well 🫶

🐾 Post-Surgery Check-Ups Matter! 🩺✨
Your pet’s surgery doesn’t end when they leave the clinic — recovery is an important part of the healing journey. 💙
Post-operative check-ups help us:
✅ Monitor healing and incision progress
✅ Catch potential complications early
✅ Manage pain and medications effectively
✅ Make sure your pet is returning to normal safely
✅ Answer any questions you may have during recovery
Even if your furry friend seems happy and comfortable, a follow-up exam gives your veterinary team the chance to ensure everything is healing as it should. 🐶🐱
A little extra care after surgery can make a big difference in your pet’s recovery. 🐾💕
📅 Don’t skip the recheck — it’s an important step toward getting your companion back to their best!

Have you guys ever heard about FIP (Feline infectious peritonitis❓

FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) is a serious disease caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus (FCoV). While many cats carry feline coronavirus without problems, in some cats the virus changes and can lead to FIP.
⚠️ Common signs of FIP may include:
• Persistent fever
• Weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Fluid buildup in the abdomen or chest ("wet" FIP)
• Neurological signs such as wobbliness or seizures
• Eye inflammation or vision changes
🐾 Who is most at risk?
• Kittens and young cats
• Cats living in multi-cat environments
• Cats under stress or with weakened immune systems
✅ The good news: FIP is no longer considered an automatic death sentence. Effective antiviral treatments are now available in many countries, and early diagnosis can significantly improve outcomes.
🔍 If your cat shows concerning symptoms, contact your veterinarian promptly. Early recognition and treatment can make a life-changing difference.
