Found Injured Wildlife in Your Backyard? Here’s What to Do!

Wildlife often wanders into backyards, and sometimes, they need a helping hand. If you find an injured bird, lizard, possum, or other native animal, bring them to our surgery, we work with Fauna Rescue to rehabilitate and release them. 🌿🦜

🐾 What to do if you find injured wildlife:
✅ Place them in a secure, ventilated box with a towel.
✅ Keep them in a quiet, dark space.
✅ Do NOT feed them—some animals require special diets.
✅ Call us for advice. Some baby birds don't need intervention and their parents are nearby feeding them.
✅ Bring them to us.

By acting quickly, you could help save a life. Share this post to spread the word! 🐾💚

Is Your Cat Hiding More? It Could Be a Sign of Illness!

Cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so if your usually social feline is spending more time under the bed or avoiding contact, it might be time to investigate. 🧐🐱

⚠️ Hiding can be a sign of:
🔹 Pain
🔹 Stress or anxiety (new people, pets, or changes at home).
🔹 Illness

If your cat’s behavior has changed, don’t ignore it! A check-up can rule out health issues and ensure they’re happy and comfortable.

The beautiful Luna joined us for her final puppy vaccination earlier this week 💉🤭

Why are puppy vaccinations so important?

Puppy vaccinations are essential for protecting against deadly diseases like parvovirus and distemper, keeping both pets and people safe.

Plus, they help stop the spread of disease in the wider dog community. Starting from 6-8 weeks, a full vaccination course gives puppies the best start in life! 🥳

🌊 Hot Spots and the Beach: Protect Your Pet! 🐾

Summer fun at the beach is the best, but did you know your furry friend could be at risk of developing hot spots? These painful, itchy skin infections are often caused by moisture trapped under their fur, something that can happen after a dip in the ocean.

Here’s how to keep your pet safe:

🌟 Rinse & Dry: Rinse your dog thoroughly after a swim to remove salt and sand, and dry them completely, especially in those thick, fluffy areas.
🌟 Brush Regularly: Regular grooming helps keep fur tangle free and allows airflow to the skin.
🌟Spot the Signs: Red, inflamed, or oozing patches of skin? Licking or scratching excessively? It could be a hot spot and a sign your pet may need an appointment with one of our veterinarians.

If you notice these symptoms, call us at 8449 4011 to book an appointment. We’ll have your pet comfortable and back on their paws in no time!

🐾 Beach Days Made Safe for Your Dog! 🌊

A day at the beach is a treat for our furry friends, but keeping them safe is key to a fun outing. Here’s how to ensure your dog enjoys the waves while staying out of trouble:

🌟 Scoop That P**p: Picking up after your dog keeps the beach clean and safe for everyone.

🌟 Watch for Hazards:
🐟 Pufferfish: Highly toxic if ingested—avoid at all costs.
🦀 Crabs: They may pinch curious noses or paws!
🐾 Parasites: Sand and seawater can harbor nasties, so a post beach bath is a must.

If your dog seems unwell after a beach day or has an encounter with wildlife, don’t wait—call us at 8449 4011. We’re here to help!

Let’s keep beach trips fun and safe for everyone. 🐕❤️

💘 Love your pets this Valentine’s Day! 🐾

Valentine’s Day is all about love, but some of our favorite treats and gifts can be dangerous for our furry friends. Here’s how to keep your pets safe tomorrow:

🍫 Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats. Even a small amount can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or worse—so keep those heart shaped chocolates well out of reach.

🌸 Lilies are highly toxic to cats. Ingesting even a tiny amount can cause kidney failure. Choose pet safe flowers like roses, sunflowers or orchids instead.

🐾 If your pet ingests chocolate, lilies, or any harmful item, call our team immediately on 8449 4011. Quick action can make all the difference.

This Valentine’s Day, share the love responsibly—cuddles and pet safe treats only!

"BOAS: It's Not Just About the Snout!"
Did you know that Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome or BOAS affects more than just the nose?
It can involve the entire respiratory tract, from narrow nostrils to elongated soft palates. It’s a serious condition that can make breathing tough, but the right care can help your furry friend breathe easier. 🐶❤️
Call us on 8449 – 4011 to make an appointment to suggest management techniques, and advise if any surgical options could improve your dog's quality of life.

Wednesday smiles! 😊

Meet Miss Bonnie, who visited us last week for a bleeding nail 🥺

Happy fri-yay! 🫶

Little Ella joined us for her first puppy vaccination 🤭

Why are puppy vaccinations important? 📝

Puppy vaccinations protect against deadly diseases by helping their immune system develop defenses against viruses and bacteria 🤚.

Core vaccines prevent parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and rabies, while optional vaccines cover risks like kennel cough and leptospirosis 🦠.

Puppies, like the gorgeous Ella, start vaccinations at 6–8 weeks old, with boosters until 16 weeks to ensure full immunity 💉
