🚨 Parvovirus Outbreak Alert 🚨

‼️ Urgent Warning ‼️
AWL and RSPCA have been seeing a concerning amount of Parvovirus cases in our community, a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus affecting unvaccinated dogs. 🐕💔

Parvo can spread quickly, and the consequences are severe — including hospitalization and the disease has the potential to be fatal.

The good news? Parvo can be preventable through vaccination!

Facts about the Nobivac vaccination we have in clinic to ensure your pooch is getting the best protection:
- provides cross-protection against ALL currently known parvo field strains
- It is the only vaccine in Australia for parvo with published evidence of providing sterilising immunity against the virus

Act NOW — If your dog is not up-to-date on their vaccinations, please schedule an appointment immediately or if you aren't sure give our friendly team a call 07 3824 7788.

Protect your pet, and protect others in the community.

🔴 Don't wait—vaccinate!
📲 Help us share this post to help spread the word and keep our furry friends safe.

If your dog is experiencing any vomiting, diarrhoea and/or appear lethargic seek veterinary attention ASAP.

Storm Phobia in Dogs: A Quick Guide⚡️🌪

🐾What is Storm Phobia?
Our furry friends are blessed with extremely sensitive hearing 👂 – unfortunately, this means they can also be extremely sensitive to scary sounds! Storm phobia is a common condition in dogs, marked by intense fear and anxiety during thunderstorms, fireworks, or loud noises. This can cause distress for both dogs, and their owners!

🐾Symptoms
Dogs with storm phobia may show:
Pacing or restlessness
Vocalization (whining, barking)
Destructive behavior
Hiding or seeking refuge
Excessive drooling or panting
Attempts to escape

🐾Causes
While the exact cause is unclear, factors may include:
Genetics
Past traumatic experiences
Sensitivity to sounds and atmospheric changes
Treatment Options

🐾Thankfully, there are a wide variety of options available to help treat and manage storm phobias. These may include:
Behavioral Modification
Environmental Modifications
Medication
Prevention

If you feel your pet may benefit from our advice, please call us on (07) 3824 7788 to arrange a consultation. Anxieties need to be taken just as seriously as any other health problem in our furry friends. It’s our job to make sure they feel as safe and comfortable as they can be, and with the right support and strategies, we can help your dog manage their storm phobia effectively.
