Congratulations to Cody, our Brave Dog of the Month for July!

Back in December, Cody was visiting us for an unrelated issue when, during the course of a standard physical exam, Dr Lauren felt a mass in Cody's abdomen. An ultrasound showed signs of cancer in Cody's spleen.

Usually one of the first steps in treating a splenic tumour is removing the spleen as dogs can live a full, happy life without this organ. However, Cody had previously had a bad reaction to an anaesthetic, so performing surgery on her came with increased risks. Her owners decided to have the surgery done by the specialists at Animal Referral Hospital Canberra to give her the best chance at recovery. The specialists were also able to perform a CT scan to look for any areas where the cancer may have spread. Cody then underwent surgery to remove not only her spleen but also a tumour that was attached to her bladder.

Due to the location and type of tumour, there was a high chance cancer cells may have been left behind, so for the past 6 months Cody has been undergoing a course of chemotherapy. During this time Cody has to visit us almost every week for a blood test to monitor side effects of the chemotherapy and developed several infections because her immune system was compromised. Despite her frequent visits to both our clinic and the specialists Cody remained happy and patient with us throughout. She has now finished her chemotherapy course and is back to being able to fully enjoy helping out her family at Joycies Flowers. In recognition of her bravery, Cody has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea and tick chew.

Congratulations to Percy, our Brave Dog of the Month for June!

14 year old Percy was found with severe lacerations to his neck and shoulders. It is suspected that he was attacked by another dog. Not only were there deep puncture wounds, but large areas of skin over the back of his neck and chest had been separated from the tissue underneath. Percy spent nearly an hour in surgery having his wounds sutured and drains placed to prevent fluid building up in the pockets underneath.

Despite his age and the severity of his injuries, Percy has recovered quickly and, less than two weeks later, his wounds have healed very well. In recognition of his bravery Percy has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea & tick chew.

Congratulations to Teddy, our Brave dog of the Month for April!
Teddy was rushed in to the clinic after he became very lethargic and began vomiting blood. When he arrived he was very weak and his breathing was laboured. We also saw that his gums were very pale suggesting he was very anaemic. When we clipped away some of Teddy's fur to collect a blood sample we found several bruises on his skin.

All of theses symptoms suggested Teddy's blood had lost its ability to clot, causing him to bleed internally in many different places, including into his lungs which was why he was having difficulty breathing. His red blood cell percentage (PCV), which should normally be between 35% and 50%, had dropped to just 20% because of the blood loss.

There are several things that can cause a sudden bleeding disorder like Teddy's, but the most likely was that he had eaten rat bait. Most rat baits prevent the body from being able to recycle Vitamin K, which is an important component of the blood clotting process. It takes a few days for the vitamin K that is already in an animal's body to be used up, so it is likely Teddy ate the bait at least 2-3 days before he became sick. His owners are not sure how he managed to get access to it.

We immediately started treatment with vitamin K injections while we waited for lab tests to confirm our suspicions. The next day we received results that confirmed Teddy's blood clotting was delayed in a way that was consistent with severe rat bait toxicity. However, we also found that his PCV had dropped to 16%. Any number below 20% usually means a blood transfusion is needed. We began the process of finding a donor and preparing for the transfusion, but Teddy surprised us. When we tested his blood again that afternoon, the PCV had shot up to 25%!

From then on, Teddy continued to recover quickly and was able to go home the next day to continue his treatment with vitamin K tablets at home. In recognition of his bravery, Teddy has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea & tick chew.

Congratulations to Elsa, our Brave Dog of the Month for March!

In early March, Elsa began vomiting after being seen digging in the garden. At first we hoped she may have upset her stomach by swallowing some fertiliser, but while an anti-nausea injection did seem to stop the vomiting, she was still refusing to eat the next day. By this time, she had also not passed any faeces in several days.

We investigated further by performing blood tests and x-rays. The x-rays showed two very distinct foreign objects in Elsa's abdomen. Elsa spent a night in hospital on a drip as she was slightly dehydrated, before having surgery to remove the two stones she had swallowed from her intestines.

After her surgery Elsa made a rapid recovery and was very confused why she was being asked not to run, jump and play as energetically as she normally would. She was very relieved when her stitches were finally removed and her life could go back to normal, albeit with much closer supervision when she is playing in the garden. In recognition of her bravery, Elsa has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea and tick chew.

Congratulations to Shamus, our Brave Dog of the Month for January!

At just 4 months old. Shamus was bitten on her face by another dog so hard that her eye was pushed out of its socket. She was rushed to the clinic for an emergency consult and underwent immediate surgery that night to return her eye to its socket and stitch her third eyelid across to hold it in place.

While the surgery was a success, there was a chance that the eye would pop out again due to the damage to the structures that normally hold it in place. Fortunately, the eye remained in its socket as the swelling around it resolved. While Shamus will likely never regain sight in that eye due to damage to her optic nerve, she has otherwise made a full recovery and is now happy, healthy and getting up to lots of puppy mischief. In recognition of her bravery, she has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea & tick chew.

Congratulations to Pip, our Brave Dog of the Month for December!

Like many Pugs, Pip was born with very narrow nostrils and a soft palate (the piece of soft tissue that extends from the back of the roof of her mouth) that was too long and partially blocked her airway. This not only restricted her breathing making it difficult for her to exercise and cope with hot weather, but caused her to develop a condition called everted laryngeal ventricles. The laryngeal ventricles are like small pockets that sit in the throat just outside the airway. Over time, the increased pressure from breathing through a restricted airway can cause these ventricles to turn inside out so that they protrude into the airway, further reducing the space air can travel through.

Since the laryngeal ventricles sit deep in the throat, we only discovered this problem when Pip was already under anaesthetic to have her nostrils widened and soft palate resected. If we went ahead with the surgery as planned, there was a chance the swelling from cutting away part of the soft palate along with the presence of everted ventricles could cause the airway to become entirely blocked. The safer, but still somewhat risky option, was to remove the ventricles as well.

Despite the risks, Pip recovered from her surgery very well and is now breathing much more easily. She has more energy than she did before and is loving life. In recognition of her bravery, Pip has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea & tick chew.

Congratulations to Onyx, our Brave Dog of the Month for November! When another dog approached Onyx aggressively, he tried to show he wasn't a threat by rolling onto his back and exposing his belly. Unfortunately, this resulted in a nasty bite wound to his left groin area.

He was immediately brought to the clinic where he trotted in happily, pleased to be the centre of attention despite the pain he must have been in. Onyx underwent urgent surgery that same day to stitch the wound closed. The size and shape of the wound made closing it challenging and the fact that it was located in an area that undergoes a lot of movement means there was an increased chance the stitches would not be able to hold it together, but Onyx healed very well and has since made a full recovery. In recognition of his bravery, he has received a commemorative bandanna and a free Bravecto flea and tick chew.

WARNING - We have seen a massive increase in ticks in the local area recently. On average we have treated a case of tick paralysis every day for the past month. Some of the animals affected were only a few days overdue for their tick prevention. Please make sure your pet is kept up to date with a reliable tick protection product.

Important things to know:
- Your pet does not have to go into the bush to get a tick, only into the back yard.
- Though tick numbers increase in spring and summer, they are present in the local area year round.
- Even after you have removed a tick from your pet, the paralysis it causes can continue to develop for up to 3 days.
- Make sure you read the packaging for your pet's tick protection carefully to ensure you know exactly how long it lasts - some products that can be used monthly for flea protection only kill ticks for 2 weeks.
- Double check that you are using the correct sized product for your pet's current weight. This is especially important to take note of in growing puppies and kittens as well as animals that may have recently gained or lost weight.
- Perform regular tick searches as no product is 100% effective.
- If you find a tick on your pet, the best thing to do is remove it immediately. If you are not confident doing this, contact a vet for advice.
- If your pet shows any signs of tick paralysis such as weakness in the hind legs, laboured breathing, gagging/retching or a change in their bark or meow, contact a vet immediately. The earlier they are treated, the better their chances of survival.
