Vet column: Ball-swallowing Loki proves to be the dog of mischief

It DOES look as though we are nearing the end of the coronavirus lockdown, and everyone will be able to go for long dog walks again. This may well be the first chance you have to visit other areas with your pet, if they are a lockdown puppy. Do remember that, for many pups, life has been unusual in that they were unable to socialise with other dogs and humans, so it may well be a stressful time for them. We all assume our pets are happy because we care for them and keep them healthy, but often little changes in the home environment which we take for granted can be a major change for your pet, resulting in some degree of stress.

Vet column: Some dogs bring whole new meaning to having a ball

Zed and Jenny with a ball AS I HAVE said many times before, we know dogs (and cats) love to eat all sorts of different foods and items lying around. Unfortunately, discarded face masks are causing a lot of problems just now, with vets having to operate on dogs to remove them, after becoming lodged in their intestines. We have yet to see this at Dunedin Vets, but I know many vets who have. Some breeds of dog are very food-orientated and eat anything. We all know an insatiable Labrador (my Lucy will eat anything; I’ve had to move her away from discarded face masks on many an occasion).

Vet column: What to consider when welcoming a new pet

By Margot Hunter of Dunedin Vets ONCE your new puppy or kitten has settled into your household, there are several things to consider, ensuring your new pet is kept fit and healthy. Register with your veterinary surgeon. This gives immediate reassurance if a problem does arise with your pet. At Dunedin Vets, we offer free puppy and kitten checks and for all new pets as soon as you acquire them; this may be carried out by telephone during these Covid-19 times. Lots of advice is given by vets, qualified veterinary nurses and reception staff. Everyone is thinking about vaccination against coronavirus for humans just now. Vaccination has been the major controller of lethal diseases since the process was developed by Edward Jenner centuries ago.
