DON’T POISON YOUR PET THIS CHRISTMAS At Christmas we inadvertently expose our pets to a variety of toxic substances. Not only are we bringing (admittedly only mildly toxic) mistletoe, holly and ivy into the home but we also leave toxic substances lying within easy reach under the Christmas tree! Dogs and cats will quickly sniff out presents containing food, especially chocolate.

Wrappings are usually shredded but ribbons and tape may be swallowed causing a bowel obstruction.

Chocolate poisoning occurs in dogs, cats and rabbits and is due to the stimulant, theobromine that is found in chocolate. The severity of the poisoning will depend upon the type and amount of chocolate that has been eaten. 1g dark chocolate per Kg bodyweight is a toxic dose

and veterinary advice should be sought. White chocolate contains no theobromine at all. Cocoa powder & coffee grounds are also toxic.

Grapes, raisins, currants and sultanas can all cause renal failure in dogs and cats. At Christmas this commonly occurs when dogs get hold of the Christmas cake or mince pies. Don’t forget chocolate covered raisons are often around as well, two toxins in one! Holly, mistletoe, ivy and poinsettias will all cause vomiting if eaten but do not cause serious illness with the exception of ivy which has been reported to be fatal for rabbits. Lilies, found in so many beautiful bouquets, are very toxic to cats causing acute renal failure.

Peanuts and macadamia nuts can cause vomiting and occasionally

twitching and tremors. Again watch out for the chocolate coated ones.

The artificial sweetener xylitol, found in chewing gum and available for home-cooking, is very toxic to dogs. It causes low blood glucose levels and subsequent liver failure.

The onion family, including leeks, garlic and chives can all cause vomiting and anaemia even when cooked so don’t give your pets left over onion gravy or sage and onion stuffing with their turkey treat.

There will of course be lots of small toys just waiting to be swallowed and so many toys come with batteries that these too are often consumed. Toys cause intestinal obstructions whereas batteries can cause internal burns and metal poisoning. It is helpful to know the brand and type of battery in such

If you know or suspect your pet has eaten something he shouldn’t have, always contact your vet immediately.

Here at Bilton Veterinary Centre we had a happy ending for Barney, a 6 month old german pointer who couldn’t wait until Christmas to open all the advent calendar treats. Barney didn’t even wait to un-wrap each surprise, he swallowed them whole. Luckily his owners brought him in to the surgery before he developed any problems.

He was given an injection to make him sick and what had gone down, luckily came back up!

HIGHER PAID CHILD BENEFIT earned income over £50,000 (net of gift aid and pension contributions but before personal allowances) you must From 7th January 2013 a person who earns more than £50,000 must advise HM Revenue and Customs if they are in receipt of Child Benefit personally, or if they are the higher earner of a couple where their partner receives Child Benefit.

If you fall into this category you may shortly receive a letter from the Inland Revenue advising you of the new tax change and that you must register to submit a self assessment tax return form for the year ended 5th April 2013 if you do not already.

Basically the changes that apply are that for every £100 of

repay 1% of the Child Benefit received.

If you’re income is £60,000 or above then you or your partner can elect to waive receipt of the benefit as, of course, under the sliding scale you would have repaid the total monies received. However such an election can be withdrawn if circumstances should change.

Collection of this new tax charge will be either via self assessment or through PAYE. If you have received such a letter from the Revenue and need our assistance then please contact our office for a quotation on 01926-814578 or e-mail office@grineaux.co.uk.

TURN YOUR HOUSE

INTO A HOME...

It may sound like a bit of a cliché, but the best thing about a cold winter’s night has to be settling down, in front of a cosy fire.

Draw the curtains on the icy roads and freezing wind…“batten down the hatches”… boots off…slippers on…another log on the fire and a glass of your favourite tipple.

There really is nothing quite like it. It’s minus something outside but your house… your home…is snug as a bug.

A radiator or storage heater may provide warmth, but they are a pretty ‘soul-less’ way of heating. Even an electric or gas fire isn’t able to give you that same feel good factor.

And they cost the earth to run…literally!

But, an open fire? Really? Isn’t it just a romantic

notion? Well, it has to be said that a ‘real fire’, as lovely as it is, isn’t actually such a great idea. The realities often being all spit and smoke, draughts in the room and mountains of firewood going straight up your chimney, taking all their heat with them!

Ok, so how do we put that heart and soul into our home,

It’s minus something outside but your house… your home… is snug as a bug. keep our heating bills down and use fuel which is ‘environment friendly’?

Go and see M Davies’s wood burning stove showroom

just outside Staverton and you may find the perfect solution. Stoves are rapidly becoming more and more popular as an efficient and practical heating appliance. They are much cheaper, cleaner and safer than an open fire and help greatly to reduce your central heating costs. They are even kinder on the environment; particularly if using a wood burning stove means that you burn less fossil fuels.

But maybe, the main reason they are becoming so popular is that they give you so much more than just efficient heat. A stove introduces a warm living vibrant heart to the house – it gives you the heart and soul – it turns your house into a home.

Fireside Accessories

At M Davies you can also stock up on fuel (logs, coal, smokeless coal and bottled gas). As well as choosing from a huge range of fireside accessories, we have all those little extras which help turn your house into a home... ...and make perfect Christmas presents!
