Rising Temperatures: Keep Your Pets Safe from Heat Stress

Do you know how to spot early signs of heat stress in dogs? Recognising these signs (panting, drooling, bright red or bluish tongue, lethargy, vomiting or noisy breathing) can help prevent serious complications like seizures, collapse, or even death. Dogs pant to release excess heat, but sometimes it’s not enough to cool them down quickly, and their body temperature can rise dangerously fast.

Dr. Sasha Savage joined the BPVS team in 2016 and testifies that she has loved every minute of it! Whilst she loves every aspect of her job from routine health checks, puppy and kitten vaccines, itchy skin or sore ears, her passion is surgery. Her special interest is in the surgical and medical management of canine cruciate ligament disease but also loves “cutting to cure”, a surgical slogan for those pets that need surgery for cancer resection or emergency treatment. 💉🩺🩻

Sasha has just returned from maternity leave #3. Life is busy with her three girls - Eloise, Harriet and Juliette. She has been very grateful for many well wishes and even thoughtful gifts from some of her regular pets and their families over the years. 👧🏼👧🏼👶🏼

At home she has a menagerie of animals including a small herd of cattle, 40 sheep, 4 chickens, 3 horses and a very energetic kelpie named Annie who has kept Dr Sasha on her toes for a few years. 🐄🐑🐓🐴🐶

When asked what she loves the most about work she says “it’s the close knit team, the ability to provide exceptional pet care but still give clients a familiar face being a locally owned business”. 🐾🤍

Halloween Alert: Keep Your Pets Safe from Chocolate! 🍫🎃👻

As Halloween creeps closer, we want to share a friendly reminder about the dangers of chocolate for our furry friends. While we indulge in treats, chocolate is a big no-no for pets! 🐾

Why is chocolate a problem?
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to dogs and cats. Since our pets process these substances much slower, even a small bite can lead to trouble. ‼️

Signs of chocolate toxicity:
- Upset tummy (vomiting or diarrhea)
- Hyperactivity or restlessness
- Increased heart rate
- Tremors or seizures
- Death in severe cases

What if your pet gets into the candy stash?
1. Identify the type of chocolate and how much was consumed: Dark and baking chocolate are the most harmful.
2. Call us right away on 38000369. ☎️

How to keep your pets safe this Halloween:
- Store candy out of reach (high shelves are your friend!).
- Remind guests not to share treats with your pets.
- Opt for pet-safe treats to include them in the fun!

Let’s make this Halloween a safe and happy one for all! If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to us anytime. 📞

We're excited to introduce Nurse Aymee, who has been an invaluable part of our team for over three years, working at both Browns Plains Veterinary Surgery and Park Ridge Animal Hospital. With a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and experience dating back to 2019, she brings a wealth of knowledge to our practice. 🩺🐾

Aymee is currently expanding her knowledge of puppy and kitten care and partaking in Puppy Preschool classes. She thrives during nurse consultations, educating owners and the medical aspects of nursing. One of her most rewarding experiences is reuniting pets with their families during challenging times, whether it’s helping a lost pet find its way home or supporting a sick animal on the road to recovery. 🔬🐶🐱

In her spare time, Aymee enjoys quality moments with her husband and their beloved furkids. She loves catching up with friends and family, traveling, and camping. Aymee has accumulated a number of pets over the years, Quincy and Mishka the Kelpies (She has a very big soft spot for the sometimes misunderstood Kelpie breed), Lewis the Pug X Chihuahua and 2 mischievous ginger cats Nina and Carlos. Additionally, she dedicates time to fostering kittens whenever she can. 🏕️✈️😻

✨ Benji ✨

Benji had a dental with Dr Jesh this week. Isn’t he adorable!?! Now with clean teeth and a fresh breath. 🫶🏻

As you can see Benji is all snuggled up prior to his procedure. Patient warming is extremely important, pre, during and post procedures and Benji loved being wrapped up in his little blanket. 🐾🐶

Do you think your pet is in need of a dental, give us a call on 38000369 to book a dental check. ☎️ 🦷

🎃👻 Halloween is just around the corner 🐾

This Halloween, let’s keep our furry friends doing their tricks but staying away from the toxic treats! Here are some tips for a pet-friendly day:
1. Keep Candy Away: Chocolate and certain candies can be toxic to pets. Store treats out of reach! The darker the chocolate, the SCARIER the risk!
2. Costume Caution: If dressing up your pet, ensure the costume fits well and doesn’t restrict movement.
3. Safe Spaces: Create a calm environment for pets during trick-or-treating. Loud noises can be stressful!
4. Watch Out for Decorations: Some decorations can be hazards. Keep an eye on curious paws!

Share your pet’s Halloween photos with us! Tag us in your posts and let’s celebrate together! 🐶🐱

Stay safe and have a howling good time! 🐾

This is Odin. Typically Odin can be a nervous boy at the vet clinic. We like to make our patients comfortable and use fear free techniques. For Odin doing his tricks puts him at ease and he loves treats. Nurse Cassie got Odin to do some tricks with rewards then his mum held him for an injection then more tricks with more rewards. Odin was a very brave boy and left very happy. We always like our patients to be as comfortable as possible at the clinic so we will always work with your pet to try and make sure they are settled and happy when visiting us. We look forward to seeing the handsome Odin and his bundle of tricks in the future. 🐶🐾 Is your pet scared and nervous at the vet clinic? Give us a call on 38000369 to discuss fear free visits. ☎️
