Penelope ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
Penelope is an Italian greyhound puppy who came in to see Dr Matt for a lump check, two weeks after she received her booster vaccination โœ… Dr Matt diagnosed her lump as an injection site reaction. These tissue reactions will normally resolve by themselves after a few weeks but in some cases, like Penelope's, it can take a little longer. We are happy to report Penelope is now lump free ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
If you find a lump on your small friend that you are just not sure about, call โ˜Ž๏ธ our lovely nurses for advice on 6262 2233.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Leptospirosis has been detected in the Canberra area. Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial infection of dogs which can cause kidney failure in dogs and this infection may be transmissible to humans.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
Leptospirosisis is spread via rats and rodents or through stagnant water sources. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
Vaccination offers good protection against Leptospirosis with vaccinated dogs recovering from infection at THREE TIMES the rate of unvaccinated dogs. Two doses of the vaccine given 2-4 weeks apart are required, followed by annual boosters.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹
We have vaccines available at Small Friends and bookings can be made by calling โ˜Ž๏ธ reception on 6262 2233. Due to the increase in demand this will place on our staff we will not be able to respond to any queries made via social media. Please call the practice on 6262 2233 or visit in person to arrange an appointment. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

It is important that puppies experience lots of handling whilst they are young ๐Ÿ–๐ŸผPlaying with your pup's paws, ears, face, tail and tummy makes them easier to handle later in life. Cuddling with your puppy laid on their back also establishes the healthy heirarchy between a pup and their owner ๐Ÿงก๐ŸถWhenever puppies visit Small Friends Vet our staff are MORE than happy to help add to the puppy's experience of being handled ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

While case numbers are so high in Canberra ๐Ÿ“ˆwe have decided to only allow small friends through our doors once again ๐Ÿ›‘Although it's not how we would like it to be (but really, what is lately???) it worked well for us through the lockdowns and most people and their small friends found it pretty easy ๐Ÿ˜Œโ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

With such a small team and only one full time vet (Dr Mel has returned from maternity leave ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปand is seeing patients three days a week, and Dr Sally will be starting her maternity leave in just a few weeks ๐Ÿคฐ) if any one of our team contracts Covid-19 ๐Ÿฆ or if Dr Matt needs to isolate ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธwe will almost certainly have to close our doors ๐Ÿ˜ซWe are taking this extra step to ensure we can stay open and stay here for you! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
