【緊記嘩鬼健康陷阱 👻 主子出巡唔使驚】

一年一度 🎃 為主子扮(搲)鬼(零)扮(食)馬嘅日子又到~切記喺與毛孩同樂之餘,要提防糖果、造型物件帶嚟嘅潛在危機!
🚨 外國有硏究顯示,每年萬聖節前後,寵物中毒個案會急升近 12%。
當中常見嘅零食危機包括:

朱古力中毒 🍫 貓貓同狗狗無法代謝朱古力入面嘅化學物質,愈黑愈苦嘅朱古力毒性愈強。只要少量已足以導致 #嘔吐 #腹瀉 #心跳加速 #抽搐 甚至 #死亡。

過量糖果 同 誤吞糖紙 🍬 大量高糖高脂零食,會引致 #胰臟炎,嚴重更可致命。唔小心吞咗糖紙,更可能會造成 #腸道阻塞 或 #窒息。

提子 同 提子乾 🍇 雖然對人類嚟講算係「健康版零食」,但對狗隻係屬於劇毒!任何分量都可導致 #急性腎衰竭。

貪食嘅毛孩最易一時口快,所以各位主人亦要記住 💡:
🎃 收好所有糖果及裝飾用品、
🕯️ 蠟燭與螢光棒要遠離毛孩、
🧙‍♀️ 萬聖造型要舒適安全,避免細件裝飾,容易畀寵物誤吞。

如懷疑毛孩誤吞異物,請即刻聯絡 VSH 24 小時急症團隊 📞 2408 2588 /💬 WhatsApp 6848 2588。

【Beware the Spooky Snack Traps 👻 Keep Your Pets Safe This Halloween】

It’s that time of year again… When our furry friends join the spooky fun 🎃!
But while you’re dressing up and snacking away, remember that some Halloween treats and decorations can be scarier than they look!
🚨 Studies show pet poisoning cases rise by nearly 12% around Halloween each year.

Chocolate toxicity 🍫 Cats and dogs can’t metabolise the toxic compounds in chocolate. The darker and more bitter it is, the more dangerous! Even small amounts can cause , or even .

Overindulgence & swallowed wrappers 🍬 Too many high-sugar, high-fat sweets can cause , which can be life-threatening. Swallowed wrappers may also lead to or hazards.

Grapes & raisins 🍇 Even though they’re ‘healthier snacks’ for humans, they’re highly toxic to dogs. Any amount can cause .

More tips for pawrents 💡:
🎃 Keep all sweets and decorations out of reach,
🕯️ Keep candles and glow sticks safely away from pets, and
🧙‍♀️ Choose pet costumes that are comfortable and free of small detachable parts.

【 #專醫說故事 跨部門全力搶救 🫁 誓讓幼貓盡力呼吸】

當寵物連唞氣都變得困難,專醫團隊嘅配合默契就會備受考驗 🤝️。
年僅一歲嘅布偶貓 Dau Mic,喺 9 月初因為突然呼吸困難,由主人緊急送嚟 VSH 接受治療。

經過檢查,我哋發現佢患有一種罕見嘅先天性異常—— #腹心膜膈疝。呢種情況會令腹腔內嘅器官(例如肝臟)錯位進入胸腔,壓迫心肺,令呼吸變得極困難 😮‍💨。

❤️‍🩹 為咗拯救 Dau Mic,VSH 多個部門緊密合作:由 #急症科 團隊接手初步穩定病情、 #影像診斷 團隊精確定位問題、 #麻醉科 確保手術安全,到 #外科 團隊進行長達數小時嘅複雜手術,復原錯位肝臟。

🏁 好在一切順利,Dau Mic 術後情況穩定,幾日後已經出院返屋企。我哋仲好高興得知,佢依然係鍾意攤住食零食、玩玩具嘅活潑可愛小貓!

【 A Cross-Disciplinary Rescue to Help a Little Fighter Breathe Again 🫁】

When every breath counts, teamwork makes all the difference 🤝.
One-year-old Ragdoll cat Dau Mic was rushed to VSH in early September after suddenly developing severe breathing difficulty.

After examination, our team discovered she was suffering from a rare congenital condition—Peritoneopericardial Diaphragmatic Hernia, in which abdominal organs (such as the liver) shift into the chest cavity, compressing the heart and lungs and making breathing extremely difficult 😮‍💨.

❤️‍🩹 To save Dau Mic’s life, multiple VSH departments worked hand in hand: our team stabilised her condition, pinpointed the defect, ensured surgical safety, and the team performed a complex hours-long operation to reposition the displaced liver.

🏁 Thankfully, everything went smoothly. Dau Mic recovered well and was able to return home just a few days later. We’re thrilled to know she’s now back to her usual self: playful, curious, and always ready for snacks!

【 #專醫說故事 金毛勇士 ⚔️ 奮戰淋巴癌】

寵物患癌 🥹 對每位主人嚟講都係沉重打擊,但積極尋求醫治 ❤️‍🩹 就係希望嘅開始。

去年夏天,金毛尋回犬冬冬被確診患上 #淋巴癌,起初對標準 CHOP 化療方案反應不理想,情況一度令人擔心⋯⋯

但主子同主人並冇放棄,直至「奇蹟」出現 🌈——喺接受 VSH 專科團隊建議後,冬冬轉用 #阿黴素 單一藥物治療,表現出驚人嘅恢復力!

👏 經過 6 次療程後,冬冬嘅病情顯著改善;更令人鼓舞嘅係,除咗毛色變得更金、有少少甩毛之外,幾乎冇出現副作用 🌟!

📅 到咗今年 7 月,佢雖然出現第一次復發,但再次接受以 #米托蒽醌 為主嘅化療方案後,仍然成功達到 #完全臨牀緩解 💪。

🧬 VSH 腫瘤科專科獸醫 馬健聰醫生 解釋,狗隻對化療嘅耐受性往往比人類想像中更高。經過合適藥物配搭與細心監察,淋巴癌狗狗都有機會維持良好生活質素,甚至延長壽命。

冬冬嘅勇氣令我哋深受感動 🙇。希望佢嘅故事可以提醒更多主人:只要及早發現、積極治療,就有機會為毛孩延續希望 💛。

【 ⚔️ Dung Dung the Golden Warrior】

A cancer diagnosis can be devastating for any pet parent 🥹, but taking early, active steps ❤️‍🩹 makes all the difference.

Last summer, Dung Dung, a golden retriever, was diagnosed with . Her initial response to the standard CHOP chemotherapy protocol was poor, and things looked uncertain…

But neither she nor her owner gave up. 🌈 Following the VSH oncology team’s advice, Dung Dung switched to doxorubicin as a single-agent treatment, and responded remarkably well!

👏 After six rounds, her condition improved significantly. Most impressively, apart from a lighter, golden coat and a bit of fur loss, she experienced almost no side effects 🌟!

📅 In July 2025, she experienced her first relapse, but after another course with , she once again reached complete clinical remission 💪.

🧬 VSH Oncology Specialist Dr Andrea Mosca explains that dogs often tolerate chemotherapy better than expected. With the right protocol and attentive monitoring, lymphoma patients can maintain an excellent quality of life and even achieve long-term remission.

Dung Dung’s strength 🙇 inspires us all a reminder that with early detection and the right treatment, there is always hope 💛. Enquiries or reservations 📞 2408 2588 /💬 WhatsApp 6848 2588.

【 #寵物情報課 🍂 細數秋日病患危機】

踏入初秋,氣溫驟然涼快,人同寵物都舒服晒 😌~但每個季節對毛孩,都有唔同嘅健康挑戰,身為主人,就要記得及早關注以下嘅常見風險 🚨:

🚽 季節性腸胃問題
早晚溫差大,特別係 BB 同年紀大嘅寵物容易著涼,可導致便便軟爛或肚屙。

👃 呼吸系統疾病
天氣乾燥,氣管較窄嘅品種就更要小心!西施、北京、法鬥、八哥、波斯貓、異短 等都係高危物種,記得注意保暖呀~

🐜 體外寄生蟲
入秋跳蚤同牛蜱特別活躍,會匿埋喺草叢等地方等寵物接近「搭上順風車」,甚至跟住佢哋過冬!防蚤措施真係唔可以鬆懈。

🍄 遠離野生菇菌:秋天係菇菌長成嘅季節,但本港最少有 10 種常見野菇含毒,有啲甚至會令對寵物致命。散步時千祈要阻止佢哋亂食!

🐍 提防野生動物
秋天蛇準備冬眠,會霸佔其他小動物嘅洞穴。帶寵物散步時,要避免佢哋靠近草叢或泥洞,以免惹嚟蛇攻擊。

💡 最後溫馨提醒大家:預防永遠勝於治療。發現寵物有懷疑症狀,記得及早求醫!24/7 急症獸醫 📞 2408 2588 /💬 WhatsApp 6848 2588。

【 🍂 Autumn Health Watch for Pets】

As autumn arrives, the cooler air may feel refreshing 😌—but every season brings its own health risks for pets. Here are the key concerns to watch out for 🚨:

🚽 Seasonal tummy troubles
Younger and older pets are more vulnerable to soft stool or diarrhoea when exposed to sudden day–night temperature shifts.

👃 Respiratory issues
Dry air and temperature swings can stress the airways, especially in flat-faced breeds like Shih Tzus, Pekingese, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Persians, and Exotic Shorthairs. Keep them warm and monitored!

🐜 External parasites
Fleas and ticks thrive in autumn and winter. They hide in grass or shrubs, latch onto pets, and stay until spring. Don’t slack on parasite prevention.

🍄 Wild mushrooms
At least 10 common wild mushrooms in Hong Kong are toxic. Some can be fatal to pets—always keep curious noses and mouths away!

🐍 Wild animals
Snakes prepare for hibernation in autumn and may occupy animal burrows. Keep pets away from holes, tall grass, or woodland to prevent surprise encounters.

💡 Remember: prevention is always better than cure. If you spot suspicious signs, seek vet care early! 24/7 emergency service available 📞 2408 2588 /💬 WhatsApp 6848 2588.

【雨天在外要留心 ☔ 提防 #鉤端螺旋體】

氣候變化莫測 🙂‍↔️,早前短短半個月,我哋竟然經歷咗 5 次黑雨,次數刷新歷年紀錄。🐩 落雨天帶寵物出外,除咗要避免濺濕 同 室內外溫濕差,主人亦應留意 🦠 #積水 #爛泥 #溪澗 #河道 等地方,都可能隱藏住致命細菌——鉤端螺旋體!

呢種病菌嘅來源主要係鼠尿,再經水同土壤傳播,毛孩如果飲咗或接觸到,就會隨時受到感染。🤒 一旦病發,更可引致 #腎衰竭 #肝衰竭,甚至死亡,所以絕對唔可以掉以輕心!

⛔️ 呼籲大家喺雨天及過後,避免寵物飲用或接觸 溪澗、河道 或 水氹,慎防帶菌動物(特別係鼠類)嘅尿液或污染物;
⚠️ 如發現毛孩有 發燒、發冷、肌肉痛、口渴、多尿、嘔吐、腹瀉、食慾下降、黃疸(皮膚、眼白變黃)等情況,要及早就醫;
💡 想預防感染,定期接種疫苗、避免接觸污水或野外水源 以及 出街自備飲水,都係有效嘅方法!

【Stay Alert on Rainy Days ☔ Beware of 】

With climate change bringing extreme weather, Hong Kong saw a record breaking record of 5 black rainstorms in just half month recently 📈. For pet owners, rainy days mean more than just wet walks: can hide deadly bacteria: Leptospira 🦠.

This bacterium, spread mainly through rat urine, contaminates water and soil. Pets that drink or come into contact with it can become infected 🤒. Once sick, they may suffer from kidney or liver failure, and in severe cases, it can be fatal!

⛔️ Avoid letting pets drink or touch water from rivers, streams, or puddles after heavy rain.
⚠️ Watch out for signs like fever, shivering, muscle pain, thirst, frequent urination, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, or jaundice (yellowing skin or eyes).
💡 Prevention is key. Keep vaccinations up to date, avoid dirty or outdoor water sources, and always bring clean drinking water when going out!
