'Huey' came to see Dr Andrew for his annual vaccination with his sister Ola. Huey's owner also noted that he has always suffered from a stinky breath and Dr Andrew noticed he had some plaque build up on his teeth. There are a few options to consider with your pets teeth, especially if they already have plaque build up:

🦷 Scale and Polish under anaesthetic at the vet

🦷 Brushing your cat's teeth with pet toothbrush and toothpaste

🦷 Dental biscuits such as Hill's t/d or Royal Canin dental

🦷 Water additives such as Aquadent or Tropiclean fresh breath

🦷A dental gel called Mavlab which lubricates the teeth and helps prevent plaque formation

Ideally these should all be used in conjunction with each other for the best results but having even 1 of these recommendations in your daily routine with your cat can help.

We currently have these in stock so come in store today!!

Recently we saw 'Ted' for his annual vaccination. No one would believe this handsome man is actually 16 years old. Along with his vaccination he also got tapeworming tablets.

Tapeworming tablets should be given every 3 months if you have a cat that likes to hunt geckos and lizards, even if they are indoor cats. No spot on treatment will remove this pesky tapeworm.

Symptoms of a tapeworm infestation include:

🐛Diarrhoea/Soft poo

🐛Worms coming out of their bum or in their poo

🐛Weight loss or excessive appetite with no weight gain

🐛Round bloated looking belly

🐛Vomiting, which may contain the worm

🐛Scooting or excessive grooming of their backend as it's itchy

You can give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 or call in if you would like to keep your cat protected against tapeworms. You don't need a consultation to give these to your cats, all we need is their weight for dispensing the right dosage.

We've seen little 'Roxy' a couple times now as she has had some recent stressful events that have caused some blood in her urine(Haematuria).

Events for cats such as moving house, cats in the neighborhood picking fights, new animal or baby in the house or more visitors coming over can make a cat quite stressful. Cats generally internalize their stress so most owners don't notice until a cat shows this stress outwardly such as blood in their urine(Haematuria).

Haematuria can also be caused by an infection as well as other reasons but in Roxy's case after a urine test was performed, it was deemed to be stress related. She was placed on pain relief and to reduce the stress in her environment.

Cleo came to us as she had been suffering from chronic diarrhoea.

Thankfully through Dr Andrews advice and regular check ins, she now has a healthier gut meaning better formed poo.

There are multiple reasons as to why a cat would be having diarrhoea meaning multiple different pathways to take. Give us a call today on (07) 3544 6828 if this sounds like your kitty so we can get your kitty feeling better.

We recently had ‘Moccona’ in for a dental after her owner noticed that her chin had become swollen, she wasn’t eating her food and she was drooling a lot. On examination of ‘Moccona’, she was suspected of having a tooth root abscess which was confirmed when she was placed under anaesthetic.

A tooth root abscess is a severe infection that develops around the root of a tooth caused by bacteria entering the pulp cavity through a broken or chipped tooth.

Luckily upon removing the chipped tooth her chin immediately started deflating and will continue to do so now that the tooth is removed and hopefully she will be back to normal eating dry food in no time.

'Boo Boo' came to see us after her owner noticed her red eyes wouldn't resolve.

Dr Andrew noticed she had quite swollen eyes which was the result of another cat in the house passing it on. Once she was placed on eye drops and medication she healed up nicely and is now a lot happier being able to walk around without a cone on.

If you notice your cat's eyes becoming red, weepy or swollen there could be many different reasons why but it's always best to give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 to discuss what's wrong with your kitty.

21/10/2024

We recently had 'Pishoo' in as his owner noticed he wasn't walking properly on his back leg and was concerned he might've broken his leg.

On examination Dr Andrew could feel a piece of material sliding under the skin. A piece of bamboo shoot was hiding under the skin in his leg which was swiftly removed and Pishoo is now all better.

Give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 if you notice your cat limping and the vet will discuss your options with you.
