❄️ Caring for senior pets in Winter ❄️

🐾 The colder months are fast approaching. We may have already pulled out the dressing gown and fluffy slippers! This means our furry friends will feel the drop in temperature also. For our senior pets the cold air can aggravate joints and increase arthritis symptoms.

🐾 Keep a healthy exercise routine. Even a small walk each day will encourage circulation and strengthen muscle tone.

🐾 Invest in a warm jacket! Short haired breeds and senior pets will benefit from an additional layer of warmth with a jacket on those chilly morning walks!

🐾 If you notice in the coming months your pet is showing signs of discomfort such as stiffness, reluctance to walk, getting up and down stairs, or licking at certain joints, it’s best to visit your local vet for a check up.

Please please do not walk your dogs or leave them in hot conditions on days like today. Heatstroke can occur very quickly and can result in death in under an hour.
If you suspect your dog is suffering with heat stress/stroke, this is an absolute emergency and you should contact the clinic straight away or your nearest emergency clinic 🐶

‼️IMPORTANT NOTICE ‼️

As we are now into the busy summer/Christmas period, we are currently experiencing very limited availability for non-urgent consultations (ie vaccinations, health checks etc) and routine surgery. Unfortunately, there may be a wait of a couple weeks for these type of appointments.

We understand this may be frustrating, however please be patient and understanding as we are doing our best to see the unwell patients and those requiring same day/urgent assessment.

On some days, we may also have limited veterinarians staffed which means there may be limitations in the number of patients we can see.

Depending on patient circumstances, we may recommend that you visit one of the Emergency clinics for treatment if we are unable to see you the same day.

We thank you for your understanding.

A friendly reminder from our friends at North Lakes 🐶 🌞

HEAT STROKE

If it’s just too hot, skip the walk.

This is a life threatening situation and needs fast action and medical attention.

Here are some signs of heat stroke for your dogs and cats.

❌ heavy panting, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst
❌ bright red tongue and gums, which can sometimes progress to a pale/grey colour which usually indicates shock
❌ excessive drooling, vomiting, and/or diarrhoea
❌ lethargy, unsteadiness or collapsing and even seizures

If your pet has heat stroke, do the following:

🌳 move your dog into a cool area out of the sun
💦 immediately pour cool water over your pet, or place cool wet towels over them
💨 use a fan if possible
📞 contact your nearest vet and get them seen, even if they seem to have recovered

01/11/2022

**** IMPORTANCE NOTICE ****

QLD cannot currently access Tick Antiserum. This means if your pet becomes symptomatic, there could be no treatment.

Clinic’s (including ourselves) have bare minimum supplies on hand but this could run out quickly.

SO PLEASE HAVE YOUR PETS ON A TICK PREVENTION!

If you are unsure if your pet is up-to-date, then it means there's a good chance they aren’t.

Nexgard, Nexgard Spectra, Braveto Chews/Topspots and Revolution Plus are all great products that we recommend. However, no product is 100% guaranteed in preventing tick paralysis. It is essential you also give your pet a thorough tick search every night in tick season.
