Planning applications

What do you call a beehive without an exit? Unbelievable.

While you may not be aware of some discomfort in your pet, if their pain is more severe it’s likely there will be some symptoms.

I can’t take my dog to the pond anymore because the ducks keep attacking him. That’s what I get for buying a purebread dog.

For the first time, two robots are getting married this October. They expect to be fully autumn-mated. My wife left me because of my obsession with pasta. I’m feeling cannelloni right now.

I was in a job interview the other day and they asked if I could perform under pressure. I said no, but I could perform Bohemian Rhapsody.

Did you hear about the ghost who set up a cleaning business?

He’s called it The Grim Sweeper.

A panic-stricken man called his doctor’s surgery, “I need an urgent appointment, I think I’m shrinking.” The receptionist said, “Sorry, the doctor isn’t in today, you’ll just have to learn to be a little patient.”

• Changes in breathing. Any difficulty breathing, particularly if you can hear them, panting when they aren’t hot or an irregular respiratory rate.

• Unusual noises. Whining, crying or other sounds you haven’t noticed them making before.

• Sensitivity. Avoiding or flinching from normal touch, or hiding, particularly if it’s somewhere they wouldn’t usually go.

• Irregular movement. Limping, struggling to stand, jump, use stairs, or sitting or walking differently.

• Moving more than usual. Appearing agitated without cause. Pacing or irregular movement patterns.

• Not themselves. Being aggressive, irritable or seeming fearful.

• Eating less, losing weight or vomiting. You will know your pet and their personality, and any behaviour that’s out of character needs to be investigated.

Causes

Injuries and acute pain will be fairly easy to spot. A fractured limb, earache, toothache or an eye infection will present symptoms that don’t come and go.

But it might be that their pain has developed over time. For example, if they have an age-related disease such as arthritis or cancer, they might only show behaviour changes intermittently.

Other than a genuine ‘off-day’ – we all get them – you should consult your vet before it develops into an emergency call.

Do you run a local community group or club?
