👁🐾 Is Your Pet Squinting, Tearing, or Pawing at Their Eye?
It could be more than just irritation—eye issues in pets can be serious, especially when it comes to intraocular pressure.

High or low pressure inside the eye can indicate painful and potentially blinding conditions like glaucoma or uveitis. These conditions can progress quickly, so early detection is key! ⚠️

At Brighton Veterinary Surgery, we use a specialised tool called a Tonometer to safely and painlessly measure the pressure inside your pet’s eye.

✅ Quick
✅ Non-invasive
✅ No sedation needed

If your pet has red eyes, swelling, cloudiness, or any signs of discomfort, don’t wait—we’re here to help with diagnostics and treatment to protect their vision and comfort.

📞 Call us to book an appointment today if your pet seems to be having an eye issue.
Let’s keep those precious eyes healthy and bright!

🩸🐱 Diabetes in Cats – What You Should Know 💉💔

Just like in humans, diabetes mellitus can affect our feline friends—and it’s more common than many cat owners realise.

Feline diabetes occurs when the body can’t properly produce or respond to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Left untreated, it can cause serious health issues, but with early diagnosis and the right care, diabetic cats can live long, happy lives. 💙

🚨 Cats most at risk include:
🔹 Overweight or obese cats – Excess weight is the #1 risk factor
🔹 Middle-aged to older cats (usually 6+ years)
🔹 Male cats – Especially neutered males
🔹 Certain breeds – Burmese cats are particularly overrepresented in Australia
🔹 Cats with other health conditions – like pancreatitis or long-term steroid use

🩺 Common signs of diabetes in cats:
🐾 Increased thirst and urination
🍽️ Increased appetite
⚖️ Weight loss despite eating well
😴 Lethargy or weakness
💩 Changes in coat or poor grooming habits

With a tailored treatment plan—including insulin, diet changes, and regular monitoring—many diabetic cats can return to a good quality of life. Early detection is key!

📞 If your cat is showing any of the signs above or is in a higher-risk category, book a check-up with us today. We're here to help you navigate diagnosis and management every step of the way.

🐶💉 Why Puppy Vaccinations Are So Important 💉🐶

Bringing home a new puppy is such an exciting time—but did you know that the early months of their life are also when they’re most vulnerable to serious and sometimes deadly diseases?

That’s why vaccinations are essential! Core vaccines protect your pup from dangerous viruses like:
✅ Parvovirus
✅ Distemper
✅ Hepatitis
✅ Canine Cough (Kennel Cough)

🩺 It’s not just about the needle!
Each vaccination visit also includes a full health check with one of our vets. This is a chance to monitor your pup’s growth, check their heart and lungs, look for signs of congenital issues, and chat about:
🐾 Parasite control
🐾 Nutrition and growth
🐾 Socialisation & behaviour
🐾 Desexing
🐾 Any concerns you may have

Starting your puppy on the right path with a complete vaccination and wellness plan helps build strong foundations for a long, healthy life.

Give us a call to book their next visit—we love seeing your little ones grow!

Good Afternoon

We have had to close early this afternoon as power lines are down just a few streets away, which will deprive our little clinic of electricity for the afternoon.

Please check your messages as we have tried to call our clients from other phones.

🐾 Lumps & Bumps: Don’t Ignore Them! 🐾

Have you ever noticed a lump or bump on your pet and thought, “It’s probably nothing”? While some lumps are harmless, others can be more serious—including mast cell tumors, one of the most common types of skin cancer in dogs.

🧬 What is a Mast Cell Tumor?
Mast cells are a type of immune cell that normally help fight off parasites and play a role in allergic reactions. But sometimes, these cells can grow abnormally and form a tumor. Mast cell tumors can vary in appearance—from small, benign-looking lumps to aggressive and fast-growing masses.

🚨 The danger?
These tumors can grow quickly, change in size, become inflamed, and release histamine and other chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and even ulcers. If they’re left untreated and grow too large—or are located in tricky areas like the face, legs, or tail—they may be difficult or impossible to remove surgically.

👩‍⚕️ Early detection is key!
A quick check by our team can help identify what the lump is. In many cases, a simple needle aspirate can give us a good idea of what we're dealing with. If caught early, treatment is often much more effective and less invasive.

🔍 So next time you’re giving your pet a pat or cuddle and feel something unusual, don’t wait—book a check-up with us. It might be nothing... but it might be something that needs attention.

It’s better to be safe than sorry!

🍲🐾 Winter Foods & Sensitive Tummies – What to Watch For ❄️🐶🐱

As the weather cools down, it’s tempting to spoil our pets with a few extra treats or hearty leftovers. But did you know that dietary sensitivities and rich winter foods can lead to serious tummy troubles—or even pancreatitis?

🚫 Foods to avoid this winter include:
🔸 Fatty meats (like sausages, bacon, or lamb offcuts)
🔸 Rich gravies or meat drippings
🔸 Cheese and creamy dishes
🔸 Cooked bones (which can splinter or cause blockages)
🔸 Processed or salty snacks (like ham or deli meats)

These types of foods are hard to digest and can easily trigger vomiting, diarrhoea, or worse—pancreatitis, a painful and potentially life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas.

⚠️ Signs of dietary upset or pancreatitis:
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
😣 Lethargy
🍽️ Refusing food
🤢 Abdominal pain (may show as restlessness or hunched posture)

Some pets are more sensitive than others—especially older pets and those with a history of gut issues, which are more prone to pancreatitis.

✅ Stick to pet-safe diets and treats, and if you want to give your furry friend a winter warm-up, try things like plain cooked pumpkin, carrot, or lean chicken breast in moderation.

💬 If your pet has a sensitive stomach or you’re unsure what’s safe, give us a call—we’re here to help tailor a winter-safe diet for your furry family.

🦷🐾 Dental Disease – More Than Just Bad Breath! 😬

Dental disease in our pets is incredibly common, but many people don’t realise just how serious it can become if left untreated.

Plaque and tartar build-up on the teeth can lead to gum infection (gingivitis), which can then progress to periodontal disease—a painful condition that damages the tissues and bone supporting the teeth. Fractured and damaged teeth can also create their own issues in regards to the formation of dental disease.

But it doesn’t stop there...

🚨 Untreated dental disease can lead to:
🔸 Severe mouth infections
🔸 Abscesses
🔸 Tooth loss
🔸 Bone damage
🔸 And in serious cases… fistulas 😱

🐶 What’s a fistula?
It’s a hole that forms between the mouth and the nasal cavity, often from infected upper teeth. This painful condition allows food and bacteria to pass into the nasal passages, causing chronic sneezing, nasal discharge, and serious discomfort.

Pets often suffer in silence, as they instinctively hide pain—so by the time they show signs, the disease is usually quite advanced.

Signs to watch for:
🦷 Bad breath
😖 Drooling or reluctance to eat
💥 Swelling around the face or jaw
👃 Nasal discharge or sneezing
🐾 Pawing at the mouth

💬 The good news? Dental disease is preventable and treatable! Regular dental checks, professional cleaning, and at-home dental care can make a huge difference.

📞 If your pet has smelly breath or is showing any of the signs above, book a FREE dental check with our team today! We are also running our dental Promotion for the months of July and August so that you can get your furbaby in for their dental scale and polish and to have any bad teeth addressed!
