☀ Heat stroke🌡

It’s easy for our pets to overheat in warm weather. Unlike us, they can’t remove layers when it gets hot, and they don’t always have an option to move themselves to cooler places or avoid the sun. Over heating can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition where the body temperature increases to a point where serious consequences, including organ failure and even death, can occur.🐕🐈🐇

🐕Animals that are more at risk are:

🐾Animals that are overweight
🐾Flat faced breeds such as Pugs and Bulldogs, or Persian cats
🐾Pets with thick coats
🐾Old or very young animals
🐾Pets with health conditions, particularly lung or heart problems.

🌡Causes of heatstroke

It doesn’t always have to be ‘hot’ for an animal to develop heatstroke. Exercising excessively in warm weather, or being left in a warm or humid environment that is poorly ventilated can cause animals to quickly overheat.

🌡Early signs of heatstroke in pet animals:

🐾Panting, this can progress to distressed or noisy breathing
🐾Restlessness or agitation, pacing, seeking shade or water
🐾Drooling
🐾Red gums or tongue
🐾Increased heart rate
🐾Vomiting or diarrhoea

🌡Advanced stages of heatstroke in pets:

🐾Lethargy
🐾Confusion
🐾Weakness or collapse
🐾Seizures

🚑First aid for heatstroke in cats and dogs - tips for pet owners
If you are concerned that your pet is overheating, you should act immediately, as heatstroke can rapidly become a life-threatening emergency; We recommend to “cool first, transport second” as the immediate first aid response for dogs with heatstroke. Owners should also seek veterinary advice as soon as possible.

🐾Take your pet somewhere cool, ideally a well ventilated area or use a fan
🐾Offer them small sips of water (do not force them to drink)
🐾Cold water immersion is an effective approach for young, healthy dogs
🐾Evaporation method: Pouring water of any temperature that is cooler than your dog over them and combine with air movement from a breeze, fan, or air conditioning (evaporative cooling) for older dogs or dogs with underlying health problems.
🐾If you cannot use the evaporation method, cool them down by pouring/hosing cool water on them.

📞Once you’ve started these steps, call your vets who will be able to advise you further. Even if your pet seems to be ok it’s important to have them checked (unless told otherwise), as the more serious signs of heatstroke may not be immediately apparent.

🌳🐥 What to do if you find baby garden birds out of the nest 🐥🌳

🌞 During the spring and summer months, it's very common to find baby birds on the ground. Birds take far better care of their babies than humans can, so if you find a baby bird, keep your pets away and follow the advice below.🌞

🚫Bird flu warning
Due to the Avian Influenza regulations currently in place across the UK, some baby birds can't be handled. Please follow the latest government bird flu advice before taking action.🚫

🐥🐤If the baby bird has no feathers🐤🐥

Nestlings are baby birds that have no feathers, or only a few. Nestlings won't survive long outside the protection of the nest, and where possible, nestlings should be re-nested and left in the wild, taking care not to disturb other nesting birds. The parents will likely continue to provision their young.🐥🐤

🌳If you can't see a nest in the surrounding trees, or it's fallen down or been damaged, then you can make a replacement nest to put the nestling back into. This could be as simple as a basket or plant pot with some nesting material inside, securely attached to the nearest tree.🌳

🚑If the bird is injured, the quickest way to help is to contact your local wildlife rescue centre or vet.🚑

🐥If the baby bird has feathers🐥

Fledglings nearly have all their feathers and leave the nest just before they can fly, so it's normal to see them on the ground. Keep your pets away from them, leave the fledgling alone and monitor it, as the parents are usually nearby and feeding the bird.

🐥Even if you have already confined a healthy fledgling, you may still be able to return them to their parents. If they're in immediate danger, place them in a sheltered spot a short distance away. From a distance, monitor for the parents for a few hours. If they do not return, contact a wildlife rehabilitator for help🐥

🦅🦉Not all bird species nest in trees or remain in the nest until they're a fledgling. Swifts, swallows and house martins, corvids and birds of prey, ducks, geese and swans and also baby gulls all have differing advice. Consult with a wildlife rehabilitation organisation such as the RSPCA for advice on what action to take with these birds. Contact your vet about any bird that is sick or injured.🦢🦆

🌳☀The warmth of the spring encourages our pets to spend more time outdoors. As everything begins to grow, we should be aware of some of the spring plants that can be hazardous to our pets. 🐈🐕🐩🐈‍⬛

🐈‍⬛🐈 Cats are curious creatures and may be tempted to have a nibble on the new shoots. Some plants are extremely toxic even in tiny quantities such as lilies. Every part of the plant can be poisonous, even the pollen. If you think your pet has ingested a poisonous plant, contact your vet immediately and follow their instructions. Try and get a sample of the plant if you can and take pictures to make sure the plant is identified correctly. 🌷🥀🌺

☠Signs of poisoning are:

🐾Drooling and vomiting
🐾Fast heartbeat
🐾Difficulty breathing
🐾Fitting
🐾Disorientation and/or lethargy
🐾Diarrhoea/stomach upset/inappetence
🐾Swelling/soreness/itching skin
🐾Excessive drinking and urination

🚑If you suspect poisoning, contact and get your pet to a vet as soon as possible. Fast action is critical.🚑🕐

🐶This month our monthly focus is on mobility in your pets.🐱

At Cambrian Vets we are offering *free* mobility checks for your pet this month (see details below).

🐕As your pet ages, you may notice them slowing down. They may have difficulty jumping and climbing stairs. They may lick at painful areas or struggle to squat when toileting. They maybe slow to get up after resting and be reluctant to go for walks and play. If this is happening with your pet, don't worry, there are lots of things that you and your vet can do to help keep them happy and mobile as they move into their twilight years.🐈

You can:

🐾 Get cushioned bedding to ease pressure on joints
🐾 Provide steps or ramps to get up on high furniture
🐾 Have raised food bowls to minimise bending when eating
🐾 Maintain a healthy weight by modifying diet
🐾 Plan shorter walks and lighter playtime
🐾 Give joint supplements and/or specialised prescription diet
🐾 Visit your vet for prescription pain relief/anti-inflammatories

🐕At Cambrian this month, we are offering *free* mobility checks for your pet. You will be able to discuss any mobility issues your pet is having with a vet and create a plan for them that suits both you and your pet. Don't put it down to just getting older, be proactive and help keep your pet happy and living their best life.🐈

*The free mobility checks are to discuss mobility issues only but you can have the option of turning the appointment into a charged consultation if you need to discuss other health concerns*

⛱️☀ A day at the beach with your dog is a fantastic way to make happy memories. There are hazards that you should be aware of however and being properly prepared will help keep your dog safe. ☀⛱️

🌡️Heatstroke: Make sure you have shade for your dog by taking a beach shelter or parasol. Have plenty of drinking water and a good sized water bowl. Cool mats and ice packs wrapped in wet towels for your dog to lay on is a great way to keep them cool. Overexertion and over excitement can quickly lead to heatstroke so take care with your dog's activity levels, especially with vulnerable flat faced breeds and with overweight and elderly dogs as well as those with health problems. Avoid the hottest time of day. Never leave your dog in a hot environment like your car or caravan, not even for a few minutes. Check the beach you're visiting allows dogs, many are restricted for part of the year.🌡️

🔥🐾 Burnt paw pads: Hot sand and hard surfaces can burn the paw pads. If it is too hot to keep your hands on for more than a few seconds then it is too hot for your dog to walk on. Have pet safe suncream for lighter coloured coats and vulnerable areas like the ear tips to prevent sunburn.🐾🔥

🌊 Sand and seawater ingestion: swallowing too much sand from toys can cause impaction and blockage in the gut. Rinse toys regularly and offer fresh water. Swallowing too much seawater can lead to salt poisoning so monitor your dog carefully and have plenty of fresh water. 🌊

🪼🦀 Coastal wildlife: Jellyfish are frequently washed up on the shoreline and they can still sting even when dead. Be aware of weaver fish and other creatures and plant life that maybe found washed up or in rock pools, they may contain harmful toxins. Adders are also commonly found in sand dunes and coastal areas.🐍🐠

🫙🪝Glass and sharp objects: Look out for broken glass and fishing hooks and lures. Unfortunately these are discarded on our beaches on a regular basis.🪝🫙

💦🏊 Swimming: Not all dogs have good swimming ability. Even the best swimmers can get caught in rip tides. Know your dogs water capability and don't allow them to over exert themselves and get into difficulty.💦🏊

🔥🍖Barbeques: Keep your dog at a safe distance from hot barbeques and potentially harmful foods such as grapes and onions. Be mindful of skewers and the risk of ingestion🍗🍢

🌴Palm oil: A vegetable product used in human foods and cosmetics, these waxy white, yellow or orange lumps are frequently washed up on UK shores. They smell of chemicals or diesel and are toxic to dogs and causing vomiting, diarrhoea and pancreatitis🌴

🐶 If your dog encounters any of these hazards, please call your vet as soon as possible. 🐶
