我的狗狗吃了提子! 會發生甚麼事？我該怎麼辦？提子對狗狗有毒嗎？有! ☠🫒提子、加侖子、提子乾可以引致狗狗急性（突發）腎衰竭，研究已證實提子含有的酒石酸(tartaric acid)是引致中毒的原因。取決於提子的種類、產地及成熟度，提子、加侖子及提子乾的酒石酸含量會有所不同，我們無法評估毒性程度。即使是少量攝入也會被視為有潛在的危險性（例如，一隻大狗吃一粒提子）。提子中毒的常見症狀一般會在首24小時之內出現，有些可能需要長達72小時才出現病徵。包括（但不限於）：嘔吐、疲倦、虛弱、食慾不振、腹痛、排尿異常和口渴。如果您看到或懷疑狗隻吃了提子、提子乾等這些食品，請立即聯絡獸醫，切勿拖延治療。任何中毒情況，越早確診及治療，康復機會越大。其他對狗隻有毒的食物包括洋蔥、大蒜、朱古力、可可、夏威夷果、酒精和木糖醇（糖果和香口膠中的甜味劑）。如需急症服務，香港及九龍專科獸醫醫院每日24小時提供急症服務，全年無休。☎️電話：2408 2588🏥專科獸醫醫院 - 香港，灣仔道165-171號地下至2樓🏥專科獸醫醫院 - 九龍，何文田自由道7號地下至1樓My dog ate a grape! What will happen? What should I do?Are grapes toxic to dogs? Yes!☠🫒Grapes, currants and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs, and it has been identified that the tartaric acid in grapes is the cause. Grapes, currants and raisins all contain different levels of tartaric acid based on the type of grape, where it was grown and the level of ripeness. Therefore, there is no predictive way of assessing the level of toxicity. Therefore, even minor consumption, such as a large dog eating just one grape, must be treated with caution. Symptoms of grape toxicity can manifest within the first 24 hours and might take up to 72 hours to appear, including vomiting, lethargy, weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, unusual urination patterns, and increased thirst. If you suspect your dog has eaten any of these fruits, it’s imperative to contact a veterinarian immediately as prompt treatment is essential. Be aware that other foods harmful to dogs include onions, garlic, chocolate, cocoa, macadamia nuts, alcohol, and xylitol. For any emergencies, remember that VSH’s outpatient and emergency services in Hong Kong and Kowloon are available 24/7.☎️Tel: 2408 2588🏥VSH Hong Kong, G/F-2/F, 165-171 Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai🏥VSH Kowloon, G/F-1/F, 7 Liberty Avenue, Ho Man Tin#狗中毒 #提子中毒 #提子 #狗急症 #急症 #急症獸醫 #24小時獸醫 #24獸醫診所 #Dogpoisoning #grapepoisoning #grapes #dogemergency #emergency #emergencyvet #ervet #24hrvet #24vet

貓貓小便困難絕對是緊急狀況🚨貓咪不停進出貓砂盤好大機會是泌尿道發炎或尿道閉塞的徵兆。不幸地，由於雄性貓的泌尿系統結構不同，牠們患尿道閉塞的機會比較高。尿道閉塞是由於晶體、尿結石或粘液物質的積聚而引起的，嚴重者可引至死亡。如果您的貓隻有排尿困難，請立即尋求急症獸醫幫助﹗🏃‍♀️🏃如果獸醫確診貓隻患上尿道閉塞，需要立即治療並留院觀察，一般需要幾天的治療時間，直至排尿回復正常不再處於危險狀態。在某些復發病例中，可以選擇以手術方式來預防閉塞。預防尿道閉塞的方法包括增加貓的飲水量，例如提供噴泉飲水機、改餵罐頭食品、提供獸醫處方飲食以保持尿道健康，及減輕壓力。如果您懷疑您的貓隻排尿有困難，請立即到香港及九龍專科獸醫醫院，每日24小時提供急症服務。守護您寵物的健康是我們的首要任務♥️☎️電話：24082588🏨專科獸醫醫院 - 香港，灣仔道165-171號地下至2樓🏨專科獸醫醫院 - 九龍，何文田自由道7號地下至1樓A cat having trouble urinating is an emergency 🚨A cat going in and out of the litterbox repeatedly could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a sign of a urinary obstruction. Male cats are unfortunately more prone to urinary obstructions due to their anatomy. Urinary obstructions can be caused by blockages from crystals or stones, and can lead to serious problems which can be fatal. If your cat struggles to urinate, see an emergency vet immediately. 🏃🏃‍♀️If a urinary obstruction is confirmed, your cat will need to be treated and monitored in the hospital until they recover, often several days. For cats that have recurrent blockages, surgery can be offered as an option to prevent further obstructions.Ways to prevent urinary obstructions include increasing water intake for your cat, such as offering a water fountain, switching to canned food or veterinary prescription diets to maintain urinary health, and reducing stress.If you suspect your cat is having trouble urinating, 24/7 Emergency Services at VSH Hong Kong and VSH Kowloon are available.Your pet’s health is our priority ♥️☎️ Tel: 2408 2588🏨 VSH Hong Kong.

萬聖節快樂👻 相信大家於嘩鬼狂歡過後都會留下一大堆糖果及朱古力，但有些糖果和朱古力對我們的毛孩來說可能很危險。朱古力含有一種叫做可可鹼的化學物質，對寵物有毒。毒性的嚴重程度取決於朱古力的類型、攝入量和寵物的大小。黑朱古力和烘焙朱古力的可可鹼含量比牛奶朱古力高，因此更加危險。朱古力毒性的症狀可能包括嘔吐、腹瀉、過度活躍、顫抖、癲癇，甚至在嚴重情況下會導致死亡。有些糖果含有一種名為木糖醇(Xylitol)的人造甜味劑，這對於寵物來說毒性很高，寵物攝取後會導致肝衰竭，甚至乎死亡😨😨如果您的寵物攝入了朱古力或含有木糖醇的糖果，請立即尋求獸醫護理。獸醫將確定毒性的嚴重程度並提供適當的治療，這可能包括誘發嘔吐、使用活性炭吸收毒素以及提供扶持性治療，如靜脈注射液體和控制癲癇的藥物。🎃讓您的寵物遠離糖果及朱古力，確保安全。萬一您的寵物不幸吃了這些「甜點」，九龍及香港VSH於萬聖節期間照常24小時營業，提供緊急護理及急症服務，無需預約。電話：24082588🏨專科獸醫醫院 - 香港：灣仔道165-171號地下至2樓🏨專科獸醫醫院 - 九龍：何文田自由道7號地下至1樓Happy Halloween! 👻 Everyone might have a large stash of candy and chocolate from Trick or Treat'ing, but chocolate and some types of candy can be dangerous for our furry friends. Chocolate contains a chemical compound called theobromine, which is toxic to pets. The severity of the toxicity depends on the type of chocolate, the amount ingested, and the size of your pet. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate have higher amounts of theobromine than milk chocolate, making them more dangerous. Symptoms of chocolate toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, and even death in severe cases. Some candy can contain Xylitol, an artificial sweetener, which is highly toxic to pets and can cause liver failure and death if consumed😨😨If your pet has ingested chocolate or xylitol containing candy, it is important to seek veterinary care immediately. The veterinarian will determine the severity of the toxicity and provide appropriate treatment, which may include inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins, and providing supportive care such as IV fluids and medications to control seizures.🎃Keep your pets away from your Halloween candy and chocolates to keep them safe. However, if your pet got into your treats, VSH is open 24/7 on both sides of the harbour throughout Halloween for Urgent Care and Emergencies, no appointments needed.Tel: 24082588🏨VSH Hong Kong G/F-2/F 165-171 Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai🏨VSH Kowloon G/F-1/F 7 Liberty Avenue, Ho Man Tin #貓急症 #狗急症 #24小時獸醫 #24hrVet #急症 #ervet

即使我的貓狗是在室內飼養，我是否真的需要為他們預防心絲蟲病？心絲蟲病是由一種叫做心絲蟲的寄生蟲引起的嚴重寄生蟲疾病，透過蚊子傳播。當蚊子叮咬一隻已被感染的狗隻時，心絲蟲的幼蟲（心絲蟲的幼蟲期）進入蚊子體內，然後在蚊子再次叮咬時傳播到另一隻動物體內。由於香港有很多潮濕的月份，這有利於能夠攜帶心絲蟲幼蟲的蚊子物種的存活和傳播，這些幼蟲在傳播時運行於動物血液內，最終到達心臟和血管，並在那裡變為成蟲並引起心臟疾病。 預防勝於治療！只要您所在的環境中有蚊子的存在，預防心絲蟲病是非常重要的一環。VSH心臟專科獸醫蕭頌賢醫生收到了一位患有持續性乾咳並被診斷出患有心絲蟲病的患寵。可以在其血漿樣本中看到心絲蟲的微絲蟲。注意那些扭動的幼蟲！ 如今有很多預防心絲蟲病的方案可供選擇，從每月口服治療到每年注射治療都有。請向您的家庭獸醫查詢，以確定最適合您寵物的預防計劃。Do I Really Need Heartworm Disease Prevention for My Pet Dog and Cat Even if They are Kept Indoors?Heartworm disease is a severe parasitic illness caused by a parasite called Dirofilaria Immitis which is transmitted via mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, the heartworm larvae enter the mosquito and are subsequently transmitted to another animal when the mosquito bites again. These larvae travel through the bloodstream of the animal when transmitted, eventually reaching the heart and blood vessels, where they mature and cause heart disease.Prevention is always better than a cure! As long as mosquitoes are present in your environment, especially in Hong Kong where the climate is conducive to the mosquitoes that transmit this disease, heartworm disease prevention remains essential. VSH Cardiologist Dr. Joel Silva was referred a patient with a persistent dry cough and diagnosed with heartworm disease. The heartworm larvae can be seen in its blood plasma sample. Take note of the wriggling larvae!Numerous heartworm preventative protocols are available today, ranging from monthly oral treats to annual injections. Consult your family veterinarian to determine the most suitable prevention program for your pet.專科獸醫醫院 - 香港，灣仔道165-171號地下至2樓專科獸醫醫院 - 九龍，何文田自由道7號地下至1樓VSH Hong Kong, G/F-2/F, 165-171 Wan Chai Road, Wan ChaiVSH Kowloon, G/F-1/F, 7 Liberty Avenue, Ho Man Tin

在香港，潮濕多雨的夏季為鉤端螺旋體細菌的存活提供了適宜的條件。這種細菌不僅會使人類生病，鉤端螺旋體病在嚴重的情況下還可能導致我們的寵物死亡。在最近的颱風和暴雨之後，香港各地感染鉤端螺旋體的病症正在增加。什麼是鉤端螺旋體病？它是一種影響腎臟和肝臟的細菌性疾病。誰會感染？狗隻和哺乳動物，包括人類。細菌通過嚙齒動物（如老鼠）的尿液傳播。狗隻是如何感染的？飲用受污染的水、尿液或攝入受污染的垃圾。如果狗隻在受污染的水中游泳，細菌也可以穿透薄皮或通過傷口進入。潛伏期是多長時間？4-12天臨床表現是什麼？它可以表現出多種形式。食欲不振、倦怠、腎衰竭、黃疸和發熱的出血性疾病是它的一些表現方式。我們用什麼測試來診斷鉤端螺旋體病？從血液或尿液樣本中進行DNA PCR測試。這是可以治療的嗎？這取決於疾病的階段和腎臟和肝臟受損的程度。受感染的狗隻可以是感到不適到以至到需要進入深切治療部接受緊密治療。我們可以預防這種疾病嗎？可以透過每年一次接種四種血清型鉤端螺旋體病菌疫苗給狗隻提供保護。然而，這種疫苗並不能涵蓋所有可能的細菌株，因為有超過250種變異細菌株。在高降雨量的月份，如夏季或颱風或黑雨後，防止狗隻從流動的溪流或有機會被污染的水體中飲用水，因為它們可能受到污染。如果您的寵物感到不適，九龍及香港VSH急症服務全年無休，24小時提供門診及急症服務，無需預約。
