Addison’s disease, never heard of it!? Well Harry has!
This month, for those of you with a more sensitive disposition, you will be glad to be spared gory photos of surgery and trauma. Instead we will be talking about Addison’s disease, a condition which we can encounter from time to time and one which, if not recognised early, can be potentially life threatening.
Many of you will have read our blog before Christmas when we first heard of a major change in the way that RSA will insure your pets.
A shocking new survey involving over 7000 dog owners by the Dogs Trust has revealed that over 48% of pet dogs have eaten chocolate intended for humans, and over 5% have become seriously ill from it. Of these, 15% have required urgent veterinary treatment and in extreme cases the dogs sadly died from the effects of chocolate poisoning.
We all hate ticks and have known about pockets of Lymes disease in the UK carried by their bite but worryingly there have now been cases of dogs contracting a serious tick borne infection called Babesiosis.
Every now and then we see a condition and know that we will likely never see another again in our careers. Rory is one of those patients!
Did you know that from April 6th 2016 the law is changing and you must have your dog microchipped or potentially face a £500 fine?
We must be mad but rather than the Guildford raft race this year we have signed up to do the Guide Dog's Coniston Challenge - all to raise money to sponsor a Guide Dog and change someone's life!
We have received a warning from the Animal Health Trust regarding multiple cases of dogs developing high glucose levels in their urine (known as Fanconi-like syndrome)
“like buses!”
You know that saying about buses; that you spend ages waiting for one and then two come along at the same time? Well sometimes it works like that with clinical cases. Jasper and Buffy were both brought in by their owners within a week or two of each other with similar complaints.
