🐱 National Kitten Day! 🐱

❀️ Today we're celebrating the tiny chaos machines that somehow fit so much mischief into such a small package! From midnight zoomies, to attacking invisible enemies, and sleeping in places they definitely shouldn't, kittens keep us on our toesβ€”and we wouldn't have it any other way!

⚠️ Don't forget that kittens need vaccinations, parasite treatment, microchipping and regular health checks to help them grow into happy, healthy cats. 🩺🐱

πŸ°β˜€οΈ Keeping Rabbits Cool β˜€οΈπŸ°

With the high temperatures this week, our fluffy friends can struggle to keep cool. The good news is there are lots of simple ways to help!

🐰 Try providing:
❄️ Cool ceramic tiles to lay on
🧊 Frozen water bottles wrapped in a towel
🌳 Plenty of shade and fresh drinking water
🌬️ Good ventilation and airflow

🏠 DIY cooling hacks:
β€’ Freeze water bottles, cover in a towel, and place them in their enclosure for rabbits to lie beside.
β€’ Pop ceramic tiles in the fridge before placing them in their hutch or run
β€’ Serve rabbit-safe herbs or leafy greens straight from the fridge, and soaked in cold water for a refreshing treat.

Pictured below is Hattie keeping cool with fresh, cold herbs πŸͺ΄

🍫🐾 World Chocolate Day 🐾🍫

While we're celebrating World Chocolate Day, it's important to remember that chocolate can be highly toxic to dogs and cats. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which pets cannot process effectively. So, while you tuck into your favourite chocolatey indulgence today, make sure it's stored safely away from any four-legged snack thieves!

⚠️ Signs of chocolate poisoning can include: vomiting, diarrhoea, restlessness, panting, a fast heart rate, tremors, seizures, and collapse.

If you think your pet has eaten chocolate, don't wait for symptoms to appear - contact your vet immediately. Early treatment can make all the difference.
Please have details of:
βœ… The type of chocolate eaten
βœ… The amount eaten
βœ… When it was eaten
βœ… Your pet's weight
Remember, the darker the chocolate, the greater the danger.

πŸ“ž If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate, β€”contact the practice straight away for advice.

🐢🐱 Help us keep pets safe this World Chocolate Day by storing chocolate treats well away from pets.

πŸΎβ˜€οΈ Heat Stroke in Dogs – What You Need to Know β˜€οΈπŸΎ

As temperatures rise, our pets are at serious risk of heat stroke β€” and it can happen quickly and become life-threatening. All dogs are at risk with the predicted high temperatures over the next few days, however brachycephalic breeds (such as bulldogs, pugs etc), overweight, elderly or high energy dogs are at significant risk.

🚨 Signs of heat stroke in dogs:
β€’ Excessive panting or drooling
β€’ Lethargy or weakness
β€’ Vomiting or diarrhoea
β€’ Bright red gums or tongue
β€’ Collapse or seizures

πŸ’§ How to keep your dog cool:
βœ… Always provide fresh, cool water
βœ… Walk dogs early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler
βœ… Avoid hot pavements – if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws!
βœ… Provide shade and ventilation at all times - discourage them from laying in the sun
βœ… Use cooling mats, damp towels to lay on, or paddling pools
βœ… NEVER leave dogs in a parked car – even for a few minutes

🐢 What to do if you suspect heat stroke:
Move your dog to a cool area immediately, offer small amounts of water, and cool them gradually with tepid water and a fan. Contact your vet straight away β€” this is an emergency.
