Vets Now Gillingham

There are many varieties of fungi (wild mushrooms) throughout the UK, and while only a small amount of those are toxic, it is very difficult to identify which are safe and which aren't if your dog eats one.

For this reason, you must always treat fungi ingestion as poisoning and contact your vet immediately or if out-of-hours, your nearest Vets Now clinic, so they can provide the right care. If you can, take a sample of the fungi with you.

When a hot water bottle suddenly burst, Cavapoo Peaches and her owner Christian suffered serious burns in a terrifying accident at home.

Despite suffering painful burns himself, Christian's only concern was getting two-year-old Peaches the help she needed.

He rushed her to our Vets Now Manningtree clinic, where our team quickly realised they had not one, but two patients in need of urgent help.

What followed was a team effort, with our colleagues going above and beyond to care for both Peaches and her devoted owner. ❤️

Poor Bodie was seriously unwell when she arrived at our Vets Now Glasgow Hospital, suffering from vomiting, loss of appetite and very low energy.

After carrying out tests, our team discovered that Bodie had developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening complication of diabetes, as well as pneumonia. 😥

But what exactly is diabetic ketoacidosis?

DKA occurs when the body doesn't have enough insulin to use glucose for energy. Instead, it begins breaking down fat, producing substances called ketones. When these build up in the blood, they can make it dangerously acidic.

Signs can include vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme tiredness and dehydration. It's a serious condition that requires urgent veterinary treatment.

Bodie spent five days in intensive care, receiving round-the-clock care from our Internal Medicine, Emergency and Critical Care, and Diagnostic teams.

Thankfully, we're delighted to share that Bodie is now back home and feeling much more like herself! ❤️

Her owners are learning how to manage her diabetes with insulin injections, with continued support from our Internal Medicine team.

Well done, Bodie! 🐾
