In the spirit of Valentine's Day we'd love to remind our clients of hazardous items to your pets that come around this time of year:

🌸 Lilies are highly toxic to cats and can cause life threatening illness or death if any part of the plant or water is ingested.

🌹 Roses come with scary looking thorns that your furry friend can step on or ingest. Play it safe by keeping them trimmed and on a counter away from playful paws.

🍫 Chocolate and lollies are not a pets best friend. They include ingredients such as methylxanthines and xylitol which if ingested can cause a range of symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea and in some cases death if left untreated.

🍷 Wine, cocktails and beer can cause alcohol poisoning in pets so make sure no glasses are left unattended and spillage is wiped up.

🎁 Gift wrapping is a sight for curious eyes. Curious cats and dogs may try to play with, chew on or swallow ribbons and wrapping paper so make sure they are being placed in the bin.

🕯️ Candles are another hazard on Valentine's Day. The general rule is to not leave candles unattended but with animals around they should also be kept high and out of reach from wandering paws.

Pepsi came to see us for a general check up, dental and senior check up. The senior check up is recommended in cats from the age of 8 as they are heading towards the more senior stage of their lives so it can pick up any senior issues early.

Our senior check ups include a general check up, blood and urine testing, blood glucose test and a complimentary blood pressure check (which is valued at $50).
We can also do nail trims along with these appointments free of charge as older cats don't tend to sharpen their nails as often, therefore leaving the outer layer on.

In the end Pepsi had to have some of his teeth removed due to a tooth resorption issue. This resorption issue is most common in cats and is a disease in which the tooth and its roots slowly reabsorb. Tooth resorption is quite painful and can affect a cat's eating habit.

Regular check ups with your vet can help detect teeth issues early on.

If you are concerned your cat has problems with their teeth, give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 to book in for a consultation and Dr Andrew can assess your cat's teeth.

This is Creamy! Some of you might remember Creamy as she has featured quite regularly on our stories. She's grown so much since we last saw her. She recently came to see us as she wasn't eating as much as she usually does and wasn't her usual self.

When cats are unwell, they are very good at hiding their sickness. Small things such as your cat not eating as much, quieter then usual, personality change, change in toileting habits and sleeping more often could be a sign that your cat is unwell.

If you notice these things, give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 and we can discuss your options.

22/01/2025

We had Simba come in recently as his owners noticed a small wound on his face. Luckily it wasn't a very bad wound and was already healing quite nicely.

If you notice any wounds on your cat, it's always best to get them checked out by the vet as there is always a risk it will get worse, it won't heal and your cat might be in pain.

We are available 8-6 Monday to Friday excluding Tuesday, and available over the weekend 9-11. If worried about your cat outside of these hours just give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 and we can see what we can do.

This is 'Fafa' and 'Ginger'! We recently saw these siblings for their yearly vaccinations. Very photogenic they are!

We currently stock F3, FIV and Rabies vaccinations to keep your kitties protected all year round. Give the team a call on (07) 3544 6828 today to book your cat in.

Ocean came to see us for his kitten vaccination course. It is recommended to start kitten vaccinations at 8 weeks old then subsequently at 12 weeks and 16 weeks to have them fully protected. If vaccinated outside of those ages then it is every 4 weeks until their kitten vaccination course has been complete.

Generally at their 16 week vaccination they are also desexed and microchipped if all is well.

This vaccination they get is an F3 vaccination which covers them against feline panleukopenia, cat flu, and calicivirus. This vaccination is then given yearly so as to continue to protect your cat, especially if they go outside, interact with other cats or go into catteries.

Give us a call today on (07) 3544 6828 to book your cat in for their vaccination and to keep them protected year round. Alternatively you can book online via our online portal.

Merry Christmas from your local vet 'The Cat Doctor Brisbane '. Wishing you and your fur kids a healthy Christmas and New Year.

Back to normal trading hours on the 2nd of January.

'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!!

21/12/2024

We recently saw 'Ola' with her brother Huey at The Cat Doctor. They were both in for their annual vaccinations.

Please give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 to book in for your cat's vaccination. We stock F3, FIV and Rabies vaccinations.

20/12/2024

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.

06/12/2024

This is 'Bora'! She came in for her yearly vaccination along with her sister Holly. As you can tell she much prefers her owner's shoulder then the consultation table.

If your kitty needs their yearly vaccination we are conveniently located off Beenleigh Road in the Runcorn Shopping Centre.

22/11/2024

'Holly' visited The Cat Doctor Brisbane for her F3 vaccination. She's now protected for another year!!!

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 'Cindy Lu' in for her vaccination and upon examining her, the vet noted she had a pre-existing heart murmur. Dr Andrew performed a heart ultrasound to find the reason behind the heart murmur. Heart murmurs might point towards heart disease which is quite serious. Give us a call on (07) 3544 6828 to book in your kitties heart ultrasound. Dr Andrew also performs kidney, abdominal and urinary ultrasounds. . . . . #thecatdoctorbrisbane #catvet #onlycats #catsofinstagram #vet #vetsofinstagram #brisbanevet #runcornvet #brisbanecatvet #catsonly #F3vaccine #catvetbrisbane #catdoctor #cutecat #catvaccination #catvetruncorn #F3brisbane #catlovers #brisbane #brisbanevetsurgery #catonlyclinic #furrbaby #localbusiness #local #runcorn #runcorncommunity #cat #catlover #catlife #instacat

After some investigation we diagnosed Dandan with a pyothorax. Due to this diagnosis we placed bilateral chest drains to remove the fluid from his chest. As you can tell from this visit his breathing has become much better and his personality has blossomed now that he is not struggling to breathe. He wasn't eating at home previously but given how well he was at the clinic we tried feeding him and he ate up all his food. Check in tomorrow to see more of Dandan's story!!! . . . . #thecatdoctorbrisbane #catvet #onlycats #catsofinstagram #vet #vetsofinstagram #brisbanevet #runcornvet #brisbanecatvet #catsonly #F3vaccine #catvetbrisbane #catdoctor #cutecat #catvaccination #catvetruncorn #F3brisbane #catlovers #brisbane #brisbanevetsurgery #catonlyclinic #furrbaby #localbusiness #local #runcorn #runcorncommunity #cat #catlover #catlife #instacat

This is Dandan! His mum noticed that he was breathing up over the last couple days so she brought him in to be seen by Dr Andrew. An X-ray of his chest was performed and an ultrasound of his heart to look for the cause of the breathing up. Cats having trouble breathing are generally emergencies so they should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Check in for an update on Dandan's case tomorrow........... . . . . #thecatdoctorbrisbane #catvet #onlycats #catsofinstagram #vet #vetsofinstagram #brisbanevet #runcornvet #brisbanecatvet #catsonly #F3vaccine #catvetbrisbane #catdoctor #cutecat #catvaccination #catvetruncorn #F3brisbane #catlovers #brisbane #brisbanevetsurgery #catonlyclinic #furrbaby #localbusiness #local #runcorn #runcorncommunity #cat #catlover #catlife #instacat

Gorgeous little Harley came to us for her desexing procedure today. She absolutely loved the attention and even proceeded to make little biscuits for me in her cage. Sadly in her short little life she has already had a leg amputated but she definitely fooled us with the way she was walking . . . . #thecatdoctorbrisbane #catvet #onlycats #catsofinstagram #vet #vetsofinstagram #brisbanevet #runcornvet #brisbanecatvet #catsonly #F3vaccine #catvetbrisbane #f3vaccinebrisbane #catdoctor #cutecat #catvaccination #F3 #catvetruncorn #F3brisbane #catlovers #brisbane #brisbanevetsurgery #catonlyclinic #furrbaby #localbusiness #local #runcorn
