Antifreeze spills and leaky engines are a lethal threat to our pets. Ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze, is extremely toxic. Unfortunately, it is naturally sweet, which is why pets are tempted to drink it. As the weather continues to drop colder, please be extremely cautious of spills and leaks ❄️

Ethylene glycol is also found in car screen wash, brake fluid, radiator fluid and some garden water features. Even small amounts, if swallowed, is deadly as it causes permanent damage to the kidneys.

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning in dogs and cats:
- Wobbliness and weakness
- Vomiting
- Low energy (lethargy)
- Drinking and weeing more to begin, and then less than normal
- Difficulty breathing or fast breathing
- Seizures (fits)
- Collapse

Sadly, antifreeze poisoning is usually fatal unless it’s treated extremely quickly. Call your vet immediately if you think your pet has come into contact with antifreeze - don't wait for symptoms to appear!⚠️

We came upon this young hedgehog wandering dehydrated and wobbly in full sun today, so after Okami got him some water and shade, we headed across to our friends at Abbey Manor Hedgehogs so he could get some TLC! Be sure to check out their socials for all things spiky! 🦔

As much as we all enjoy making the most of the warm weather with a barbeque, it’s important to remember our furry friends too 🐾

Every year, our veterinary teams see pets that have got into a spot of accidental bother at a barbeque!

From heatstroke and sunburn to bin raids and broken glass, there are lots of hazards for pet owners to be mindful of ⚠️

[Visual description: An infographic explaining BBQ safety for pet owners. Tips include: 1) Secure the garden - Ensure your garden is secure and safe for pets by making sure all fences are robust and there aren’t any dangerous plants for them to reach. 2) Create a quiet space to de-stress - Set up a quiet room inside the house or in your garden where your pet can retreat. This space should be for your pets only, not your guests. 3) Beware of flamin' hot equipment - Hot food, coals and ashes can all cause serious burns. Once the cooking is complete, make sure the barbecue cools down properly. 4) Breathe easy - Smoke can be irritating for pets’ lungs, especially as many have sensitive airways. Make sure they are far away from the barbecue and not downwind of any fumes. 5) Skip the scraps - Barbecue scraps can upset your pet's stomach and undercooked or fatty foods can make them very poorly. Remember to dispose of any leftover bones or corn cobs safely and securely. 6) Keep cool and be sensible in the sun - On warmer days, make sure your pet has a shady space where they can cool down. Remember to also apply pet-safe sunblock to your furry friend at least 15 minutes before they go outside. 7) Treat them too - Prepare a pet-safe snack to keep them entertained.]
