The Night Vet

Fireworks season is here, so here's a simple plan from a vet to help your dog or cat feel safer 🎆

1️⃣ Build a den. Cover the kennel, or make a space under a table with a familiar blanket. Let your pet choose it and never force it.
2️⃣ Practise the noise. Play a recording of fireworks with treats and plenty of reassurance. Only turn the volume up as your pet gets more comfortable.
3️⃣ Speak to your vet about medication. It needs to be given a few days before the fireworks start, so plan ahead.
4️⃣ On the night, walk your pet early, close the curtains, play calming music and keep cats in with a litter tray.

Save this and share it with a pet owner who needs it 🐾

Found a sore on your dog’s leg and no idea how it got there? Don’t wait and see.

Alabama rot is rare, but cases have been confirmed in Devon. It can affect the skin and, in some dogs, the kidneys. Knowing what to look for is the useful bit.

After muddy walks, run your hands over:

Every leg
Between the toes
Under the belly

You’re looking for a sore, a red patch or an ulcer you can’t explain. If you find one, don’t wait to see if it heals. See a vet that day. Early care matters.

Please don’t stop walking your dog. Most dogs are fine. Rinse the mud off afterwards and give them a good check over.

Worth sending to whoever walks your dog too.

Your vet’s closed and your pet’s been sick. It’s a horrible feeling, so let’s take it step by step.

Go now, and ring an emergency vet on the way:

Trouble breathing. Gasping, or a cat breathing with its mouth open.
Collapse, a seizure, or can’t stand up.
They may have eaten something toxic. Chocolate, grapes, sugar-free gum, antifreeze, lilies for cats. Don’t wait for symptoms, and take the packet with you.

The one that worries people most is vomiting. If your pet has been sick once and is otherwise bright, drinking and hungry, it can usually wait until the morning. If the vomiting keeps happening, or they go quiet, call.

This is general advice and every pet is different. If you’re ever unsure, call. It’s never a silly question, especially at 9pm.

And if you’d like to talk it through with a vet, I’m here in the evenings.

🌞 **Heatwave Reminder!** 🐾

With temperatures on the rise, it's important to help keep our furry friends safe and comfortable.

✔️ Walk dogs during the cooler hours of the morning or evening.
✔️ Never leave pets in a parked car – even for a few minutes.
✔️ Keep plenty of fresh water available and offer cooling options like cool mats or ice cubes to lick (where appropriate).
✔️ Watch out for hot pavements that can burn sensitive paws.

A few simple precautions can make a big difference. Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! 💙
