Conker season is officially starting in Havering! 🌳🍂As the autumn weather begins to settle in across Romford and Hornchurch, you’ve probably noticed horse chestnut trees dropping their shiny mahogany conkers along your favorite walking trails.While they look like a harmless, natural toy to a curious dog, conkers are actually highly toxic to our canine companions. 🐶❌🛑 Why are they dangerous?Conkers contain a naturally occurring chemical called aesculin, which is poisonous to dogs. If chewed or swallowed, they can cause severe stomach upset or, even worse, create a physical blockage in your dog's intestinal tract that requires emergency surgery.🔍 Signs of conker poisoning to watch out for:Vomiting or severe nauseaDiarrhoeaExcessive drooling or restlessnessLethargy or collapseAbdominal pain (hunching or whining)What should you do?Keep a close eye on your dogs when walking under horse chestnut trees, especially if they love playing fetch with sticks or round objects. If you think your dog has chewed or swallowed a conker, please don't wait for symptoms to appear—call Hill Park Vet Group immediately for advice. 📞🐾

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🟧🐈Did you know that roughly 80% of ginger cats are male? This is because the gene responsible for the orange coat color is located on the X chromosome. Females need two copies of this gene to rock an all-orange coat, while males only need one! 🧬✨Whether they are a bright marmalade tabby or a soft cream coat, ginger cats certainly bring a lot of personality into our lives.Let’s flood the feed with some bright orange joy today! Drop a photo of your gorgeous ginger felines in the comments below. We want to see them all! 👇🧡

EDIT: HOME FOUND FOR CAT, thank you to everyone for sharing and helping

FOUND CAT: Young Cat Found in Harold Hill (No Microchip) 🐾

A young cat, estimated to be around 1 year old, has been found in the Harold Hill area and taken to the vets. Unfortunately, the vet has confirmed that the cat is not microchipped, so we are relying on social media to find the owners.

The cat has a very distinctive black dot marking. (Note: We are withholding the cat's specific dot location so the genuine owner can identify them).

If you believe this is your cat, or you know who it belongs to you, pkease contact Harold Hill branch.

Please share this widely to help bring this little one home!
