🐾 Max vs. The Mystery Lump! 🐾

Meet Max, a brave pup who recently had a scary health scare. 😢 His owners took him to Kippax Vet when they noticed a swelling in his throat. Vets suspected a foreign body — possibly a grass seed — was the culprit.

🩺 Initial treatment seemed to help, but then things took a turn for the worse. The lump grew rapidly, making it difficult for Max to swallow and breathe. It was painful and dangerous, and urgent surgery was needed. 🚨

💰 His loving owner rallied family and friends to cover as much as they could, but they were still short. That’s when Kippax Vet reached out to ACT Pet Crisis Support, and we stepped in to help!

⚡️ Under anaesthesia, the amazing vet team discovered a large inflammation and infection caused by — you guessed it — a pesky grass seed! 🌱 That tiny invader had caused a huge problem, but thankfully, Max’s surgery was a success! 🎉

🏡 Now home and on the mend, Max is one happy pup again! His relieved family is keeping a close eye on him as he recovers. 💙

🌾 Grass seeds can be a hidden danger! They can pe*****te the skin, ears, nose, and throat —leading to painful infections and costly surgeries.
Regular checks during grass seed season can save your pet from unnecessary suffering! 🐕❤️

🙏 Huge thanks to Kippax Vet and our amazing supporters for making Max’s recovery possible!

Due to an influx of 20 puppies to our Shelter on a single day, RSPCA ACT kennels is now TEMPORARILY unable to accept any stray and surrendered dogs until Tuesday, 25th of March.

These puppies, added to our Shelter which was already full, now means our kennel spaces and the capacity of staff and volunteers cannot be stretched any further.

We apologise for any inconvenience. If you find a stray dog or need to surrender a canine, please direct them to Domestic Animal Services (DAS).

Other regular RSPCA ACT services remain uninterrupted.

Nurse Emma and her precious girl Aubergine! 💜

Emma noticed Aubergine was quite tender around her mouth and brought her in for Dr Brigette to examine her. We were able to locate two FORLS under her anaesthetic by dental X-rays which then needed to be removed. 🩻

She enjoyed all the cuddles not only from her wonderful mum but all the staff last week 💜

But more importantly, what are FORLs? 🦷

“Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesion”

This process is an abnormal response of the cat’s immune system. This results in an exaggerated reaction of the cells at the gum line, and as a side effect the teeth become damaged. FORLs is a progressive disease and is very common in our feline community.

It can also be quite painful so it’s important as owners we keep an eye on their eating habits and bring them in for their annual vet visit for their oral exam to catch FORLs early.

If you have noticed your cat is tender around its mouth or their eating habits might’ve changed give our friendly receptionists a call to book in a vet consult!
