WELCOME TO THE BALANCED BEING VETERINARY CENTRE WEBSITE

Balanced Being Veterinary Centre offers integrative veterinary care of the highest standard predominantly for small animals however we do also offer a specialist alternative medicine referral service for equines. Whilst we have a particular interest in racehorses we treat horses of all shapes and sizes. Our ethos is to provide veterinary care and preventative medicine tailored to the needs of the individual animal and the circumstances and requirements of you, the owner.

The integrative approach includes conventional medicine with diagnostics and surgery as well as homeopathy and accupuncture. All treatments are provided in relaxed surroundings designed to put your animal at ease and avoid the negative experience which can often be associated with 'going to the vets'. A look at our services page will highlight the many types of treatments that we can use to provide a unique individual integrative treatment programme for your animal. We look forward to welcoming you and your animals to Balanced Being.

BE LUNGWORM AWARE!!!

Lungworm - a widespread threat!

• Lungworm is a life threatening disease which is becoming increasingly common throughout the UK.
• With cases being more widely reported it is a problem that appears to be set on the increase.
• The disease is caused by a type of lungworm know as angiostrongylosis.

How does my dog become infected??

• They have to eat infected larvae, these can be found in slugs, snails and frogs.
• Most dogs will not ingest slugs or snails on purpose but may do so accidentally if they have crawled onto a favourite toy or in their water bowl.
• Young dogs up to 2 years are more susceptible to lungworm infections, however any breed at any age can be at risk.
  

What are the symptoms??

• Breathing problems; coughing, tiring more easily.
• Poor blood clotting; this can lead to excessive bleeding from minor wounds, nose bleeds and anaemia.
• Behavioural changes, seizures, spinal pain, weight loss, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Treating angiostrongylosis

• If you are unsure as to weather your dog has lungworm seek veterinary advice.
• The vet will prescribe you a spot on wormer known as "advocate". This is specifically designed to target lungworm as well as treating many other internal and external parasites.
