Warm weather means bees are becoming more active 🐝

In the last 2 weeks, we have treated multiple dogs attacked by bees and suffering multiple stings. Sadly, some of these patients did not survive.

We're sharing this to educate, not alarm, because knowing what to do can save a life.

IF YOUR DOG IS ATTACKED BY BEES:

GET AWAY FROM THE BEES.
Move yourself and your dog to a safe area immediately. Don't put yourself at risk trying to help while the attack is underway.

CHECK YOUR DOG.
Look for stings all over the body, especially around the face, mouth, ears and paws.

CONTACT YOUR VET.
If your dog has been attacked by bees or has multiple stings, seek veterinary care immediately, even if they seem okay. Time is of the essence in these situations.

🚨 Emergency signs include:
Facial swelling • Difficulty breathing • Vomiting • Weakness • Collapse • Pale gums • Trembling • Seizures

These encounters can be a veterinary emergency. Don't wait for symptoms to become severe.

P.S. Please don't harm bees. Bees are vital to our environment and to us. If you encounter a hive, move away and contact the appropriate professionals to remove it.

Metal Toxicity in Birds: A Hidden Danger🦜

Birds are naturally curious. They love to chew, climb, explore and investigate everything around them, but this can sometimes put them at risk of heavy metal toxicity.

Our Exotic Animal Team sees metal toxicity regularly, and it can happen when birds ingest metals such as lead or zinc.

Where can birds be exposed?

Potential sources around the home can include:
• Galvanised metal cages, wire or clips
• Metal bells, toys and chains
• Jewellery, keys or coins
• Lead-based paint or old painted surfaces
• Curtain weights and fishing sinkers
• Some cage hardware and metal fittings
• Chewed pieces of metal objects or household items

Signs can be difficult to recognise. Depending on the type and amount of metal ingested, affected birds may develop:
• Vomiting or regurgitation
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy or weakness
• Increased thirst or urination
• Diarrhoea or abnormal droppings
• Tremors or seizures
• Loss of coordination
• Changes in behaviour

Some birds may initially show very subtle signs, which is why knowing your bird's normal behaviour and eating habits is so important.

How is it diagnosed?
If metal toxicity is suspected, your veterinarian may recommend blood tests and X-rays to look for evidence of metal ingestion and assess your bird's health.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of toxicity and may involve supportive care and medication to help remove the metal from the body.

Prevention starts at home. Take a close look at your bird's environment from their perspective. If they can reach it, they can probably chew it!

Regularly inspect cages, toys, bells, clips and other accessories for wear, corrosion, peeling coatings or exposed metal, and if you think your bird may have swallowed or chewed something potentially toxic, don't wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your avian veterinarian as soon as possible.

A bird-safe environment isn't just about keeping them contained; it's about making sure the world around them is safe to explore.

Have you checked your bird's cage and toys lately?

BABESIOSIS: TICKS ARE MORE THAN JUST A NUISANCE

We’re already seeing an increase in babesiosis cases at Valley Farm, and this is an important reminder that tick prevention should be a year-round priority.

Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia parasites, which infect your pet’s red blood cells. In some cases, it can become serious very quickly.

Signs to watch for include:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Pale or yellow gums
• Dark or reddish urine
• Vomiting
• Collapse in severe cases

The good news? Prevention is far easier than treating a serious tick-borne disease.

Check your pet regularly for ticks, especially after walks or time outdoors, and keep them consistently protected with an appropriate tick preventative.

If your pet shows any unusual signs, particularly lethargy, pale gums, or dark urine, please don’t wait. Seek veterinary medical attention.
