Recently, I had an interesting case involving a Rottweiler that presented with severe intestinal abnormalities. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a garden ornament had become lodged in the dog's intestine, causing a blockage and significant distress, prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention, the obstruction was successfully removed, and the dog is now on the road to recovery.

This case highlights the importance of keeping small, non-edible objects out of reach of our curious pets. If your pets show signs of vomiting, abdominal pain, or lethargy, seek veterinary attention immediately.

I am happy to share a positive outcome for our adorable 3-month-old Rottweiler puppy who recently faced a serious health challenge. The puppy was diagnosed with intestinal intussusception, a condition where part of the intestine slides into an adjacent section, causing obstruction. The condition was surgically corrected via intestinal end-to-end anastomosis. The puppy has completely recovered and is back to playing and exploring as usual! 🎉🐾
Remember, if your puppy shows signs of vomiting, diarrhoea, or lethargy, seek veterinary advice promptly. Early treatment can make all the difference!

🐾🦷 Understanding Gingival Hyperplasia in Dogs & Treatment Options 🐶✨

Did you know that gingival hyperplasia is a condition where the gum tissue in dogs becomes abnormally enlarged? This can lead to discomfort, difficulty eating, bad breath, and even periodontal disease if left untreated.

Signs to watch for:

Difficulty chewing or eating

Treatment options:

🐶🩺 It's National Dog Bite Prevention Week (13–19 April)!
Veterinary professionals play a crucial role in helping reduce bite incidents through education, early behaviour advice, and safe clinic practices(copied The Webinar Vet

🐾 It’s Dog Bite Prevention Week! Let’s talk about something that benefits everyone in the clinic: a calmer, safer veterinary visit.

Reducing fear and stress in dogs isn’t just good for them—it protects your team, builds trust with clients, and leads to better outcomes.

Here are a few simple tools and techniques that can make a big difference:

✅ Non-slip mats help dogs feel stable and secure
✅ Towels and wraps provide gentle restraint and comfort
✅ Tasty treats and toys can redirect focus and reward calm behavior
✅ Basket muzzles allow panting, treat-taking, and reduce fear
✅ Remote treat dispensers & spreadable treats can turn the exam room into a positive place

🧠 When we use low-stress handling techniques, we prevent bites before they happen—and create a better experience for pets, clients, and teams alike.

Have you ever noticed a red spot on your dog’s skin and immediately worried about a possible skin infection? While it’s natural to think the worst, it’s important to remember that not every red spot is a sign of an infection!

One often overlooked cause of these red spots can be related to Ehrlichia canis, a tick-borne bacteria that can affect our furry friends. This can lead to a condition called thrombocytopenia, where the platelet count in your dog's blood drops significantly. This can cause various symptoms, including those concerning skin changes, such as red spots or bruising.

If you notice any unusual markings on your pup, particularly if accompanied by signs of lethargy, weakness, fever or unusual bleeding, it's crucial to contact your veterinarian. Early detection and treatment can make all the difference! 🩺💕

Spread the word! Your awareness could help other dog owners keep their pets healthy and happy. Let’s keep our furry companions safe from ticks and their hidden dangers! 🦠🚫
