Winter/Spring 2013/14 Watching your pet be frightened by fireworks at bonfire night and new year is never nice and most clients dread November every year. Did you know that you can try help desensitise your pet, so that when firework season re starts you may have helped your pet become less distressed. Desensitisation involves gradually introducing the sounds of fireworks via a cd over a gradual period in an controlled environment. Our pet health councillors are free to give you the proper advice on how to try desensitising your pet. All you need to do is book an appointment at your convenience. A common hazard over the winter months, antifreeze containes Ethylene Glycol and is extremely toxic to cats. Antifreeze is found in car radiators and most de-icer products. When ingesting antifreeze cats initially show signs such as vomiting, wobbliness, weakness and even seizures. More severe symptoms normally follow including renal failure and heart problems. Antifreeze can be fatal and if you think your pet has ingested it you must seek veterinary advice as soon as possible.
