Meet Digby 🐾💙 a curious Cockapoo puppy who decided that a child's silicone fidget toy looked more like a tasty treat than a toy! 😳

After swallowing the toy, Digby was brought to see our vet, Emma. Because silicone toys can become lodged in the stomach or intestines and cause a potentially serious blockage, Emma recommended inducing vomiting to retrieve the foreign object before it could cause problems.

Thankfully, Digby was soon back to his happy, playful self and able to go home the same day. 💙

While Digby had a good outcome, swallowing foreign objects can be very dangerous. Intestinal blockages can cause vomiting, pain, loss of appetite, and in some cases require emergency surgery to remove the object.

🐶 Our advice: Keep small toys, children's items, socks, and other chewable household objects out of reach of curious pets. If you think your pet has swallowed something they shouldn't have, contact your vet as soon as possible. 🦴🐾

🐾Whilst Figaro's mum utilised the free PHP vet check and was talking to Emma about arthritis - Figaro and one of the nurses had a photo shoot and fuss 🤍

Did you know that up to 90% of cats over the age of 12 years have osteoarthritis, but only 40% exhibit signs?
Book in for a senior health check with one of the team if you have an older cat like Figaro and want to learn more 🤍

Last week, we said a very sad farewell to our lovely vet, Amy 💕🩺

Amy has been part of the Alsager team for nearly four years, and during that time she has grown so much, gaining confidence and becoming a much loved member of our practice. Our clients adore her, and she will be greatly missed. The good news is that Amy isn't going far! She will be continuing her journey at our sister practice in Winsford 🥰

We'd like to thank Amy for everything she has done for Alsager and wish her every success and happiness in this exciting next step of her career. Good luck, Amy, we're so proud of you! 💖
