Alabama rot has claimed the life of a beautiful Labrador not far from us. The dog is thought to have contracted the, often fatal, disease after walking by the canal in Long Eaton.
For advice on Alabama rot please call us on 0115 922 4855
Here are a few pointers about this serious disease
What we know about Alabama rot
The cause of the disease has not been confirmed but is thought to be an E.coli toxin that causes kidney failure by blocking blood vessels with small blood clots.
The disease causes sores on the legs and paws and sometimes on the tummy and in the mouth. Other symptoms are lethargy, loss of appetite and vomiting.
The disease is most prevalent from December to May in muddy locations or wooded areas.
Points to consider
As there is no vaccine against Alabama rot, washing your dog after walks is recommended, particularly muddy walks and particularly between December and May.
Check your dog thoroughly for sores. If you notice any unexplained sores on your dog, seek veterinary help straight away.
For more information call us on 0115 922 4855 or visit alabamarot.co.uk

No chocs for dogs on valentines (chocolate is poisonous to dogs). It's a good reason not to have to share!

It's cold outside! A reminder to keep your rabbits and guinea pigs warm and dry with plenty of high quality hay (and clean, fresh water too).
These two rabbits are enjoying each other's company.
We'd love to see photo's of your rabbits and guinea pigs enjoying some quality time with you. Tag us in so we can enjoy too.

FREE VET ARTHRITIS CONSULTATION
Call 0115 922 4855 to book your appointment.
Has your dog, cat or rabbit slowed down this winter, maybe started acting a bit older, coat looking less well groomed?
Churchcroft Vets are keen to help owners give their arthritic pets a better quality of life by offering free arthritis consultations and treatment during January and February. We also have some limited stock of FREE trial pain killers for new cases diagnosed in this time.
Call 0115 922 4855 and take a dvantage of this special offer.
At this time of year when the weather gets colder some pets become less keen to get out of bed and exercise or maybe become less keen to socialise with the family. Owners frequently mistake these signs as old age but they are more often symptoms of arthritis. Colder weather makes arthritic joints stiffer so the signs of arthritis become more apparent at this time of year. Any ONE of these signs can indicate your pet has arthritis:
1) Hesitating to jump onto the sofa / into the car
2) Licking at a joint e.g. a wrist or an elbow
3) Toileting in the house
4) Being less keen to go for a walk or into the garden
5) Getting less keen to be stroked
6) Losing coat condition, grooming less
7) Becoming bad tempered with other pets
8) Appearing stiff when walking or dragging back feet along the ground
9) Gaining weight despite no change in feeding
If your pet has ANY ONE of these signs then they may have arthritis and be in pain.
A professional veterinary examination can pinpoint areas of discomfort and joints with reduced movement. Owners whose pets are treated for arthritis often report that their pet becomes much happier and more playful and generally seems younger.
CALL 0115 922 4855 to book your appointment today.

Does anyone recognise this little guy?
Found on Bramcote Lane looking a little lost. He is a middle to old aged neutered male and is wearing a blue collar. He is in fair condition, not injured. We'd like to speak to his owner if anyone can put them in touch with us?
