WHAT'S THE CLEAR SLIME LURKING IN THE WATER BOWL

Ever rub your fingers on the inside of your pet water bowl and you feel a slippery slime of sorts? Well that invisible goo is called Biofilm.

Biofilm is a collection of organic and inorganic, living and dead materials collected on a surface. It is made up of many different types of bacteria bound together in a thick substance that acts as a glue to both hold the bacteria together and adhere it to a surface.

Bad Biofilms have been found to be involved in a wide variety of microbial infections in the body such as urinary tract infections, middle-ear infections and bladder infections.

Remember to always clean your pet's water bowl at least once a week!

HOW TO AVOID & PREPARE FOR SEPERATION ANXIETY IN PETS POST COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

Your pets may be spending more time than ever with us due to the proposed lockdown initiative. However, once the lockdown is lifted, there's a chance some pets may suffer from separation anxiety when we return to our normal routines. One of the few benefits of the coronavirus lockdown is getting to spend more time with your furriers. Even though your pet doesn't know why you're around so much, it's likely they're loving all the attention. But eventually, things will go back to normal.

Threats To Pets From The Intake Of Foreign Objects

Like toddlers, pets are also susceptible to chewing anything they can get into their mouths. This becomes momentous and a potentially life-threatening problem if the objects are swallowed. Any pet ingesting a long string or a ribbon can develop a linear foreign body which is even more treacherous. 1) Where do foreign bodies get stuck? The digestive tract is imperatively a long tube, passing food from the mouth, down the oesophagus, into the stomach, through the lengthy small intestine, then forming stool in the colon and out through the rectum. It normally takes ingesta (all that is swallowed) from 10-24 hours to move through the whole digestive tract. Some objects, however, can actually remain in the stomach for longer periods of time, even months. When objects are too large to pass, they usually occlude at the stomach outflow or within the small intestine itself. With linear foreign bodies, the recurring movement of the intestinal tract can cause bunching of the intestines in...
