Finding the culprit to the missing chocolate in Millie and Archie’s household was just a vet visit away. By no surprise to their owners, Archie was found to be a repeat offender once again, now having faced 4 separate episodes of eating things he shouldn’t have! Poor Millie got dragged along for all the “fun”. We are very pleased that despite his efforts to eat dark chocolate, Archie is doing well today with no further consequences to his indiscretion.

Chocolate is by far one of the most common foods dogs will get their guilty paws on. Signs range from mild diarrhoea and/or vomiting to seizures and possible death. If you know your dog has consumed chocolate, it is best to contact your local vet or the Pet Poisons hotline to find out if a vet visit and treatment is recommended.

The very cute and photogenic Cavoodle puppy Sunny came in earlier today for her final puppy vaccination. She was so brave and is ready to go explore the world, one sniff at a time!

This handsome little Spoodle puppy, Dingus, was super excited to meet us yesterday for his second puppy vaccination. He was a ball of fluffy cuteness and ever so brave for his vaccination!

Miss Agnes, the distinguished Scottish Terrier, had a laparoscopic spey performed earlier this week. Here she is just 3 days later as though nothing ever happened. Her mum was amazed at how well she recovered, having had previous Scottish Terriers desexed the traditional way in the past.

Here At Red Hill Vets, we love making both your pets and you happy and it is always so rewarding to get such good feedback from our keyhole speys. If you are interested in getting your female dog desexed via keyhole surgery, but would like more information, please don’t hesitate to call on (07) 3699 3444 and discuss this with our friendly staff.

ADOPT ME: this handsome little boy is still looking for his forever home. His brother and sister have gone on an adoption trial leaving him as the only remaining kitten for adoption. He comes up to date with parasite prevention and vaccinations and has been microchipped. Desexing is also included our adoption fee. If you are interested in adopting Blackberry, please contact us on (07) 3369 3444.

OPEN TO EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST TO ADOPT: we are now accepting expressions of interest (to adopt) for this cheeky trio. We will be trying to find them the best possible homes to ensure a happy, long life. They’re all very playful and so far don’t seem too phased by (friendly) dogs. They have not been tested with cats other than each other.

Please contact the clinic on (07) 3369 3444 if you would like to express an interest in adopting any of them. We look forward to finding them all a forever home.

We had the pleasure today of having Molly the Groodle in for her laparoscopic spey (keyhole surgery). She was such a brave girl and we wish her all the best in her recovery.

Laparoscopic speys are the least invasive way of desexing a female dog. Not only this but the surgery team have better visualisation of their internal organs during surgery so if there were to be any abnormalities with gross appearance of say, the kidneys, this is likely to be detected even if there are no changes on their blood work. How cool is that?!

Gorgeous girl Roux was a bit nervous today for her lump removal surgery but managed to put on a brave face with a bit of paw-holding. Her surgery went well and she’s now back home resting up and awaiting her pathology results. It’s always a pleasure having our patients in hospital and we do our best to make them feel at ease during their stay.

If you’d like to meet Tilda, feel free to pop into reception and ask our friendly staff about her.

Meet Sunday. Cute as a button and only 2.2kgs, 10 week old Silky Terrier Sunday came in today for her second puppy vaccination. She was a very brave girl and far more interested in the chicken treats than what the vet was doing. We look forward to seeing her again in 4 weeks for her final puppy vaccination.

The clinic will be closed this coming Thursday 25th April for ANZAC Day. For any emergencies, please contact the team at the Animal Referral Hospital on (07) 3172 0593

Coco and Noodle visited us recently for their professional dental scale and polish under general anaesthetic.

Did you know: The oral bacteria associated with dental disease can enter the bloodstream and affect distant organs like the heart, liver, and the kidneys.

The best way to minimise the damage (associated with dental disease) to these distant organs is to be proactive in treating and preventing your pets dental disease. There are two components to their dental care: what you do at home (home care) and veterinary care.

At home you can brush their teeth daily, or use other alternatives we might recommend for your pet in consult (oral rinses, dental chews and dental kibble). When your pet presents for a professional dental clean, dental X-rays may be recommended as well as any necessary treatment such as extractions to treat their dental disease.

Vet tech Sarah had her hands full one day last week with this litter of very cute dachshund x puppies. You may remember Bonnie the expectant mum of 5 pups? Well, these are her puppies at 8 weeks of age! Absolutely adorable!

We hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend. Just remember that lots of our Easter treats are NOT treats suitable for your dogs (or cats) to enjoy. The main culprits are chocolate and hot cross buns (either ones with chocolate or saltanas/raisins). Already we have seen a dog this week who has eaten an ENTIRE bag of hot cross buns. Please keep this food locked away/out of reach. If doing Easter egg hunts, please keep the dogs locked away during all the fun and make sure all chocolate has been found and collected before letting them in the egg hunt areas. If they do eat any of these delicious treats, please take them to an emergency centre if over the weekend for appropriate treatment as soon as is possible. HOPPY EASTER from the team at Red Hill Vets!

It’s not often we play dress-ups with our patients, but Honey possibly got into some rat bait which can be fatal for dogs and cats. Part of the treatment protocol when this has happened is giving the dog some activated charcoal to help bind any remaining toxin. Administering charcoal can be a VERY MESSY process, so for Honey we decided to dress her in a surgical gown in attempts to keep her as clean as possible. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, she didn’t go home squeaky clean!

STRAY CAT. UPDATE OWNER FOUND

This ~3.5 year old desexed male cat was brought in to the clinic yesterday. He was found in the Red Hill area. He is VERY CHATTY, making sure his voice is heard far and wide. If you own or recognise this cat, please contact us on 3369 3444.

25/03/2024

Over the Easter period, we will be closed on Friday 29th Saturday 30th, Sunday 31st, and Monday 1st April. We will be back open, business as usual on Tuesday 2nd April. Please be mindful if your pets are on daily medications and ensure you have enough stock to get them through this period. Any cats being admitted to the cattery on the 28th will need to be brought to the clinic by 3pm.

ADOPT ME: RIO

Rio is still looking for his forever home. He is an 11 year old domestic shorthair that is friendly and strikes up a chat every time someone comes into the clinic.

His story is a bit of a sad one. Lost 6 years ago by his original family, who we found out through his microchip and some detective work, now live in the US. Unfortunately, the logistics of getting him back to live with them was too difficult so we are trying to find him another family to call his (because, he will, of course, rule the household!).

If you are interested in Rio, please do not hesitate to contact us on 3369 3444, or pop into the clinic during our opening hours.

🦷 Dental superstar 🦷

Tilda was a perfect patient for her routine dental scale and polish last week. At only 3.5 years of age, her owners are being proactive with her dental care which we love to see as this aids in avoiding severe dental disease (and extractions!). Tilda now has pearly white teeth and a fresh breath to match!

You may remember the gorgeous Cocker Spaniel puppy, Archie, who was in for a puppy check a few weeks ago. He’s growing nicely and is now 5kgs (up from his previous 3kgs)! Still as cute as ever.
