💗🐾 HAPPY VET NURSE DAY! 🐾💗

Today, we’re celebrating the amazing veterinary nurses who are such an important part of our clinic and the care we provide to our patients every day.

From comforting nervous pets and giving extra cuddles when they need them most, to assisting in surgery, monitoring anaesthetics, caring for hospitalised patients and supporting their worried pet parents, our nurses are there through it all. ❤️

Being a vet nurse is so much more than a job. It takes compassion, patience, resilience and a whole lot of love for animals. It’s the little things that often make the biggest difference, and our nurses put their hearts into making sure every patient feels safe, loved and cared for.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful team of nurses who work tirelessly behind the scenes and go above and beyond for the animals in their care. 🐶🐱

Today, we celebrate you and everything you do. Thank you for the early mornings, the long days, the endless cuddles, the messy moments and, most importantly, for the love and dedication you bring to our clinic every single day.

It’s important to be aware of common household poisons that can be dangerous to your pets.

Beware of the following:
❄️ Antifreeze (ethylene glycol): Highly toxic and deadly for pets, even in small doses. Symptoms include incoordination, thirst, drooling, vomiting, drowsiness, lethargy, excessive urination, progressing to seizures, coma, and death.

🍬 Sweeteners (xylitol): Found in many human sweets, xylitol can cause low blood sugar and permanent liver damage in pets. Symptoms include vomiting, weakness, incoordination, lethargy, tremors, and seizures.

💊 Household Medicines: Over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be deadly to pets, causing liver and kidney damage. Keep them locked away and contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet has ingested them.

🐀 Rat Poison (anticoagulants): Symptoms may include lethargy, weakness, pale gums, breathing difficulties, lameness, black, tarry stools, blood in the urine, bruising, and bleeding. Contact your veterinarian for advice even if your pet seems fine.

💐 Lily (flower): Deadly for cats, lilies can cause vomiting, reduced appetite, drooling, lethargy, weakness, and kidney failure.

🪰 Insecticide (Permethrin): Used in dog-only flea treatments, permethrin can cause vomiting, fevers, seizures, and tremors in cats. Never use dog-only medicines on cats.

🧽Cleaning products (Benzalkonium chloride): Common in disinfectants, benzalkonium chloride can be irritating to pets. Use diluted soap or bleach instead.

🧴 Bleach: Industrial bleach can cause chemical burns in pets, while household bleach can cause drooling and mouth irritation. Dilute with water and call your vet if your pet is showing symptoms.

Common symptoms include vomiting, drooling, incoordination, swelling of the mouth, abnormal body temperature, twitches and tremors, breathing difficulty, seizures, and passing out.

If your pet has been poisoned, immediately remove them from the source of the poison and call your vet for advice, even if your pet seems fine.

Do you want to make your vet visit as stress-free as possible? Keep these few things in mind.

🐱 Come prepared - Cats should be brought in a carrier, covered with a towel or blanket to reduce visual stimulation. Some small dogs may benefit from carriers too. Larger dogs must be leashed with a short, non-retractable leash.

⏰ Arrive early - Use this time to review records and complete any necessary forms.

🚫 Keep distance - Avoid pet-to-pet interactions to prevent potential illness or conflicts. Dogs should be kept by your side on a leash, while cats should remain in their carriers, facing away from other pets.

🌞 You can step away - If the waiting room becomes overwhelming, ask if you can wait outside or in your car. Inform the front desk and stay reachable.

🏆 Reward good behavior - Treat your pet when they behave well.

And when you get home...

🏠 Multi-pet households - When coming home, the pet who went to the vet will smell different. To avoid this, rub a blanket smelling like themselves over their fur.

💊 Medicine and treatment - Request a demonstration from the vet on how to apply or give medications. If unsure, please don't hesitate to contact us.
