Dates 2 ). As we approach the festive season, are your furry friends on special medications that need to be ordered in advance? Or are they on medical diets that require careful planning? It's essential to request adequate supplies now to guarantee their health throughout the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Many suppliers will be shutting down, and freight may be less reliable, so it's vital to plan ahead and submit your special orders to the receptionists.

Remember to request scripts from our vets well in advance - at least 24 hours or more before you need them.

Take a moment to check your supplies and ensure you have enough to last until mid-January.

Dates 1) Important dates to keep in mind: Blayneyvets will close at 12 midday on 24th December and will not reopen until 9 am on Monday 30th. The practice will close on New Years Day. Emergency services will be available to clients of Blayneyvets.

This 8-legged mite is called "Scabies scabiei var canis" or scabies of dogs. The mite loves to live in and tunnel through the skin of dogs. It causes great itchiness as poo and eggs are left in tunnels in the skin as the mites move around for their short life [17-21 days]. These cause INTENSE reactions in the skin. Untreated, the itch makes the dog scratch madly, which then creates sores which then get infected. This is a common disease for rural vets and modern drugs have revolutionized treatment. Very effective and readily available.
*The skin disease is sometimes called Fox Mange as foxes are very vulnerable. They carry large numbers of mites when affected and your hunting /farm dogs will easily catch the mite from foxes. Interestingly across USA and Europe fox numbers are in decline partially due to this disease.
* Wombats are particularly vulnerable😢 The parasite came to Australia with the first settlers domesticated animals and has caused great losses in our wombat populations.
*Human can be infected too. If you get itchy, and your dog is diagnosed with fox mange - don’t stress! as this particular scabies is short lived on humans.

There are many diseases that result in our dogs being itchy. History will help the diagnosis, but the best way is via a skin scraping … like this video. Thanks Dr Maddi for showing us what you could see under the microscope.

Dr Maddi and an inquisitive 4 week old foal❤️Dr Maddi was on farm doing horse dental work…. All the extra training and new equipment she uses certainly sets her apart from many other horse “dentists”.

SCAM ALERT!!! SCAM ALERT!!!!! Our client received this email today requesting payment to keep her dog's microchip registered.
DO NOT OPEN.
**** Immediately an error obvious as in Australia you do not pay to have your animal's microchip registered.
Searching the internet this morning many Australians are reporting receiving this email from an overseas in recent days -see Trustpilot for "Petchip.info".

FORWARD this warning to as many people as you can.

Of deep concern is the owners' details [ email and phone number as well as animals name and microchip] were used.

The Australian Government has a National Anti-Scam Centre and you should contact at scamwatch.gov.au if you receive this email.

Perhaps also the NSW Dept of Local Government on 0244284100 and [email protected]

Please spread the word!!

Currently it’s over 20C outside today and the vets are reporting seeing snakes basking on roads today. Looking back at our stats from the last 10 years it’s unusually late this year to see our first snake bite ….Maybe it’s the horrible wind keeping the animals safe? Suggest though it’s time the shoes came inside and off the verandahs ……..
