😬 Look at that guilty face! 😬

Silly Missy, the 8 month old pup thought her mums medications were a tasty snack. 💊 Luckily mum realised quickly and phoned us for advice. Due to the type of medication ingested, emesis was performed in order to make her vomit up all the potentially toxic dose.

Unfortunately she lost her brekki too but once her tummy was empty and all the medications were out, she received some medication to stop the nausea and off she goes home to have a second breakfast. WIN-WIN! 👏🏻

☎️ If you suspect your pet has eaten your medications, please phone us on 3849 4912, where our vets can determine if the type/ dose is going to harm your pet. 💕

📣 Shoutout to our absolute champion of a pet stylist, Melissa for her stellar happy-go-lucky attitude 📣!!

Every single day Melissa shows up to work with the biggest smile on her face and takes great pride in her work. Every dog is treated like she treats her own pets (like royalty) 👑 and leave our clinic with a skip in their step, sporting their professional-level style cut. 🐩✂️🫧

We are now creeping into the silly-season 🎄(Christmas)🎄 which is the busiest time of year for pet groomers, with many pets requiring winter coat clips and regular trims to keep them nice and cool for the summer. ☀️ Though Melissa is often covered in ‘fur-fetti’ and ran off her feet at this time, she ALWAYS takes time to treat each and every pooch with the greatest respect not rushing them through and making sure all their needs are met. We appreciate you! 💖

Unfortunately our grooming is currently fully booked out until mid February. We do however, have a cancellation list that you may be added onto.

‼️‼️ PLEASE note, the pooch in the background is OK. It’s Alan (Melissa’s boy) having a lovely snooze. 😂

‼️🚨 TICK SEASON IS HERE! 🚨‼️

Please be aware tick season has well and truly started. We currently have two patients admitted receiving emergency vet care this morning.‼️

Following bouts of rain, ticks are out and about in greater numbers. A tick can only quest up on vegetation for hosts when the humidity is high enough for them to absorb sufficient water from the air. They are most prevalent in late spring and summer but are well adapted to live throughout the year. Ticks live in grassy, dark, moist areas where they wait for a host to walk by. They then crawl onto your pet and bite, attaching for up to several days while they feed. As the tick feeds on blood, the tick secretes numerous toxins. One of them is a potent neurotoxin that can cause paralysis of the body and respiratory muscles and if left untreated will be fatal.

PLEASE remember to have your pets on some sort of tick prevention (Bravecto/ nexgard/ yearly injection etc). It can save their life and save you thousands of dollars in emergency vet bills. Not to mention, save you the heartbreak and agony of seeing your pet fight for their life.

Please also be mindful that indoor pets (cats and dogs) are still at risk of contacting a tick.

If your pet is showing signs of being bitten by a tick (loss of coordination in the back legs, difficulty standing or sitting, laboured or rapid breathing, loss of bark, cough, gagging or vomiting contact us immediately and safely make your way to us.

🎃 Happy HOWL-O-WEEN 🎃 from a couple of cute pumpkin-head surgical patients. 👻🦇

🥳🦵New leg - who dis?!🦵🥳

Little Kirra had a Deangelis procedure with our surgeon, Dr Jo.

The Deangelis procedure is the surgical treatment of a cruciate ligament rupture in dogs (typically smaller, less active breeds) and cats. The procedure involves placing a prosthetic suture that functions as the cruciate ligament and stabilises the knee (stifle) joint. The De Angelis technique is a method which has been used to stabilise ruptured cruciate ligaments for many years. This method is primary recommended for dogs under 15 kg in weight due to the fact that we know that the prosthesis will not remain tight for much over 12 months.
However in this time it will allow the knee to
fibrose and stabilise so that it can function
without the cruciate ligament.

We are happy to report, Kirra is adjusting well with her new-and-improved leg and taking it easy (no more chasing the postman). In a few more weeks she should be able to resume normal activities and enjoy life pain free. 👏🏻

🚗💨 Buckle up 🚗💨

Adorable 8 month old 🌸Lola🌸 (as pictured) was rushed into our clinic this morning due to jumping out the car window. Luckily for Lola she escaped with just a few minor paw pad and leg scrapes with some soft tissue damage on her hind leg. With a thorough cleaning and pain meds to go home with, rest and light play-time she should be her usual bouncy self in no time.

Everytime you get in the car, it’s probably second nature to check the mirrors, press play on your driving playlist, and, of course, put on your seatbelt. But what about your canine copilot? 😻🐈🐶🐾

It’s always a good idea to keep your pup/cat safely secured in a pet carry-crate or attached with a car seat belt attachment to avoid such instances and distraction to the driver. Car seat belts are best suited for dogs who may be overly active in the car or suffer from motion sickness, as the seat belt tends to keep them in place and facing forward. 🚗

🕷️🕸️ ‘Spooky-Season’ 🕸️🕷️ ~ Pippa 🐶

A friendly reminder that fake spiderwebs – especially those made from synthetic fibres – spell🪄 bad news for birds and other native wildlife. These decorations can entangle and entrap unlucky birds, and risk causing serious injury or even death by strangulation or restricted blood flow, so it’s safest to avoid decorating your outdoor area with such items and stick to indoors only to protect our beautiful birds.

If you do find a bird trapped in fake spider webs it’s best to carefully cut the material away from the bird rather than risk further injuring them by trying to entangle them through it. 🦜🦅🕊️🦉

🦘Warrick, the Joey kangaroo came in with Ross, the co-owner of Kerry’s Wildlife Rescue, to collect an orphaned baby ringtail possum that was bought into our clinic and in need of hand rearing by the ‘pros’.

What a delight it was to see this little one thriving and getting big and strong with TLC before his release back into the wild once he’s big enough.

There’s no Aussie animal more iconic than our cute kangaroos. We are so lucky to call these guys our native species. And we couldn’t be more thankful for our wildlife rescue volunteers who give up their time to help give injured and/or orphaned joeys a second chance at a safe and happy life.

We are so grateful for everything that they do. 👏🏻 🇦🇺🦘

👂🏻👂🏻I’m all EARS ~ Chloe!👂🏻👂🏻

After the sense of smell, a dog’s ability to hear is the next most important of its special senses. Dog’s ears have evolved to enhance & sharpen an acute sense of hearing, allowing them to hear sounds at much higher & lower frequencies than humans. Ears are also great places for problems to occur. Normally your dog’s ears should look and smell clean and be free of wax and dry skin. There should be no hair loss or redness in the skin and no pain or discomfort. If any of these signs are present, then a checkup with our vet is needed. The ear canal consists of a long slender tube, which extends downwards & then inwards to the base of the skull, where the eardrum is located. The canal is lined with a delicate layer of skin that produces wax. The skin continually migrates to the outside, carrying wax and any debris with it. This is the natural cleaning mechanism of the ear.

Infections occur commonly in the ears. The ear canal becomes inflamed, thickening the delicate lining and producing more wax. The normal cleaning mechanism breaks down, and wax and inflammatory exudate accumulate in the canal and eventually fill it up. Bacteria and yeast organisms thrive in this environment and cause more inflammation. The ear is usually painful at this stage, and the dog will be shaking its head. Exudate is often visible at the opening of the canal, and the ear will be smelly. This process will continue to worsen unless treated. Infected ears do not get better by themselves. After weeks and months, the result is a narrow canal with thickened and folded skin, a ruptured ear drum and often a middle ear infection. Surgery is usually the only solution for these ears.

You can help prevent ear infections with regular cleaning with a veterinary approved ear cleaner, gentle ear plucking from a professional pet groomer and drying out the ears with a clean and gentle face washer after swim/bath times. However some pets are more prone to ear infections (basset hounds, poodle mixes, cavaliers, spaniels etc) no matter how good you are at keeping up with their ear cleaning regime. Some pets ear infections may also be caused from underlying allergies which must also be addressed.

Once your pet’s ears have been treated it’s always required they come back for a follow-up appointment to check the progress of healing. We do not stop the treatment until we are happy that the ear canal is 100% healthy. Stopping too soon will guarantee a recurrence of the infection and may set up a highly resistant infection.

We understand your pet’s ears can be a frustrating issue that feels never ending. We always aim to work alongside you and your pet to come up with the most effective treatment possible.

If you suspect your pet has an ear infection (smelly, itching or dragging ears on the carpet) ☎️ call us on 3849 4912 for as appointment asap. The sooner we treat the ear the better outcome it will be for your pet. 🐾

♥️ ~ Friday is Delta-Day ~ ♥️

Dr Erina and Sora, the Delta-therapy pooch is on a mission to brighten peoples lives who are receiving treatment in hospital today. 🔆🐶

Dr Erina and Sora have been dedicated to the volunteering delta therapy program for over 9 years. Spreading love and happiness to patients who need it the most. Sora has a ‘knack’ for feeling patients energy and knows who might need the touch of his soft coat to bring comfort and joy in what might be a very stressful time in people’s lives.

A dog’s presence alone can reduce stress, anxiety, and loneliness, promoting better mental and emotional well-being which are equally important components of overall health.

Way to go guys! 👏🏻🪽

** Update on the stray 🚨 Despite all efforts of contacting local vets/council/ rspca lost and found and everyone’s kind efforts of sharing our FB post, sadly his owners have not yet been located. He is an old soul and very well behaved so our pet stylist Cathy decided to take him to her property for a few days in hope the owners will be found. He’s currently enjoying sniffing and rolling around on Cathy’s big property shared with her own pet horses and dog, Scruffles. 🥰♥️ ☎️ For more info contact us on 3849 4912 🐾
