Heat Stroke!!!!

With summer temperatures and high humidity we are seeing a number of heat stroke cases - some in cars, some in hutches or garages and some just after a simple walk during the hot part of the day.
If your pet suddenly shows desperate panting, usually very red gums, dizzy and disorientated, don't delay - wet them down as soon as possible before putting them in the car to see the vet, wrap in wet towels and get them to drink cold water if still conscious. Cold water enemas can be used as well. Remember a heatstroke dog could be dead within 30 minutes. This is an emergency!!

At our practice, we pride ourselves on our client and patient service. We use safe and proven procedures such as propofol and isoflorane anaesthesia. Black Sheep Vets has a well equipped surgery offering xray, endoscope, ultrasound and in-house laboratory facilities for prompt investigations and treatment.

We do house calls but we usually find the best treatment is provided if we see the patient at the practice. House calls will be arranged between 2pm to 4 pm or after 6pm. If your pet has an emergency and you cannot get to the surgery and we cannot leave the practice, we would recommend R & S Pet Taxi (Richard) at 01507 604194, Mobile 07711 501 797 who may be able to collect and return your pet.
