23.01.2022 Ticks are here! We have seen a number of patients with ticks recently. Just because its winter, doesn't mean they are not around. Ensure your pet is protected!

22.01.2022 THE TICKS ARE HERE! Just because it's cold, doesn't mean these little critters aren't around. Some dogs may be presented for lethargy, inappetence, coughing, gagging, or grunting (as though in pain). Some dogs may be presented for regurgitation or vomiting, which may persist throughout the course of the disease. ... Similar signs are seen in cats with tick paralysis but affected animals are typically more distressed and agitated. Initially there is also often a change in voice, especially noticeable in Burmese and Siamese cats. In domestic pets tick paralysis is just as life-threatening (though more slowly) as snake bite. If your pet presents with ANY of the above, please call us immediately, without delay! It's time critical to offer your pet the best outcome. There are also a number of very effective and affordable products we sell for dogs and cats including chews and spot on's (for those fussy cats and dogs who aren't keen on tablets).

20.01.2022 | HEART MURMURS | A heart murmur in dogs is the irregular heartbeat sound that’s heard when listening to a dog’s heart with a stethoscope. When a dog’s heart is functioning properly, you can hear a clear and concrete heartbeat. When the heart is compromised, it can result in abnormal turbulent blood flow. When it comes to heart murmurs in dogs, there is a list of possible causes behind the abnormal turbulent blood flow. Since there are multiple conditions that can result in a... murmur, they are generally split into three categories based on the timing of the heart murmur. These types include: Systolic: A murmur that takes place when the heart muscles contract. Diastolic: A murmur that occurs when the heart muscle is relaxed in between beats. Continuous: A murmur that occurs throughout the dog’s regular heartbeat cycle. Heart murmurs in dogs are not always symptomatic, but some of the most common complaints include coughing, breathing difficulties, congestion in their breath sounds, fainting episodes, lethargy or weakness. If you have any questions, please give our friendly team a call.

20.01.2022 Winter is well and truly upon us, and this is the time of year when we start seeing our patients present with osteoarthritis, or have flare ups of their symptoms. So I thought we’d share some information about the PAW Osteo supplement range. PAW Osteocare are chewable treats that contain glucosamine and chondroitin. Both of thesse ingredients are known to be important in joint cartilage health. ... This product is best suited to those showing early signs of osteoarthritis, or breeds that are predisposed to joint problems. Cosequin is a powered capsule that contains glucosamine, chondroitin and manganese and calcium ascorbate. It works similar to the Osteocare, but has higher concentrations. Osteosupport contains high concentrations of green lipped muscle. The Omega 3’s in the green lipped muscle are responsible for reducing joint inflammation. Osteosupport is targeted at patients that have more advanced symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as stiffness and lameness. It is often forgotten that cats also suffer from osteoarthritis, as they are not as willing to show they are sore. Osteosupport is available for cats too, the powder can be easily sprinkled in their food. Have a chat with us over the phone or at your next appointment to see if we can incorporate these products in to your pet's osteoarthritis management.

17.01.2022 | HEARTWORM DISEASE | The disease can only be spread between pets by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites and feeds on the blood of an infected pet it ingests microfilariae. The mosquito becomes a host while the microfilariae mature. When the same mosquito bites another pet it infects the healthy pet with heartworm larvae. The larvae migrate through the pet's tissues and circulatory system, eventually reaching the heart and lungs where adult worms grow and reproduce.... Heartworm disease symptoms include: Dry and persistent cough Lack of stamina when exercising Weight loss Dry coat Listlessness or weakness There are many products available for heartworm prevention. The best option is one that suits your lifestyle and is the most convenient and thereby safest for your pet.

16.01.2022 | CAT PARVO | Virtually everyone has heard of canine Parvovirus, but have you heard of Feline Enteritis, or Feline Panleucopaenia? Panleucopaenia is caused by Parvovirus in cats, and the canine and feline Parvoviruses can cross infect, meaning cats can be infected with the dog strain, and dogs can be infected with the cat strain.... Panleucopaenia typically causes signs such as reduced appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea and a fever. As the name states, pan essentially means ‘across the board’ and ‘leucopaenia’ means low white blood cell count- i.e Panleucopaenia means a widespread deficiency of all white blood cell types, which normally fight infection. Without treatment it can rapidly become fatal! It is also important to remember that Parvoviruses are quite resistant, they can last in the environment for a long time, and can be difficult to kill, with most typical disinfectants not destroying the virus. If your cat or kitten is unwell and you believe they may have this disease, please call our friendly staff as soon as possible, and also advise them that you believe your pet may be contagious.

For those of you who aren’t aware, Parvo is a VERY serious illness that has a fatally rate of over 80% for puppies who are not vaccinated. Parvovirus infection is a viral illness that causes vomiting, bloody diarrhoea and weight loss in dogs. In puppies aged between six weeks and six months. Even with ...treatment it can be fatal. Parvo is also highly infectious. The virus is passed in the faeces of dogs sick with parvovirus. The virus can live in the ground for up to 12 months, which means it can be picked up from most areas that are visited by dogs (think dog beach, dog parks). The virus can be spread on people’s shoes or car tyres and does not require a host. Vaccination is still the most effective safe guard against the lethal virus. The vaccination against parvovirus is highly effective. It’s important to remember dogs require repeat vaccination to maintain immunity.
