Identifying when your furry friend is in pain🐕‍🦺🐈

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if your pet is in pain, dogs and cats feel pain much like we do but tend to show it in different ways. 🐕🐩💕

Cats in particular tend to hide their pain, this is a natural survival mechanism. So it’s important to look out for signs that they’re unwell or in discomfort. The sooner you can determine there is an issue, the sooner you can seek help, thus keeping minor problems from turning into major ones.❤️

Take a look at the chart below and use as a guideline only to determine how your companion pet is feeling.

If you have any concerns and just require some advice or you need to make an appointment to see one of our vet team, then give us a call on 07 8492963.☎️☺️

Changing the conversation around dementia

Linda Jones Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
