Ear Infections in Pets - Are They All The Same❓

Did you know there are different types of ear infections in pets? Understanding them can make a big difference in your pet's comfort and health! 🐶🐱

🔵 Otitis Externa: Affects the outer ear canal—look for redness, swelling and discharge.
🔵 Otitis Media: Middle ear infection—can cause pain, hearing loss and balance issues.
🔵 Otitis Interna: The most serious—impacts the inner ear, often leading to coordination problems and potential hearing loss.

These infections can be caused by bacteria, yeast, ear mites or allergies.
Each type requires different care, so if your pet shows any symptoms, please call us to book an appointment. 📞

Spring Pet Safety 🌸

Springtime is an opportunity to get outdoors with our pets and enjoy the sunshine, but we also need to take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Plants, parasites and garden products can be toxic for pets, and allergies also tend to flare up at this time of year. 🐾🌻🌞

Check the attached infographic and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call for advice. ❤

Fun Fact Friday! 🐾

Did you know that dogs have a sense of time? ⏰ If you’ve ever noticed your pup getting antsy around mealtime or waiting by the door when you’re about to arrive home, it’s not just a coincidence! 🐕

Dogs have an internal mechanism called circadian rhythm that helps them keep track of time. This amazing ability allows them to anticipate when it’s time for food or when their favourite human is due home, even if their routine is a bit off. 🕒🍽️

05/09/2024

Spring time is synonymous with baby animals, so let’s talk a little bit about desexing. 🌸🌿

Why do we desex cats and dogs? 🤔

🐾 Prevent unwanted litters. These can be very costly, and may add to the already overwhelming number of stray animals that are euthanased each year.
🐾 Prevent testicular cancer and prostate disease in males.
🐾 Prevent pyometra (uterine infection) and mammary tumours (breast cancer) in females.
🐾 Stopping the heat cycle in females.
🐾 Decrease aggression towards humans and other animals, especially in males.
🐾 Decrease risk of escaping and roaming, especially in males.
🐾 Prevent urine spraying, especially in male cats.
🐾 Living a longer and healthier life.
🐾 Reduction of council registration fees

For more information please call our friendly nurses for a chat. 📞

✨ Why wait for symptoms? Prevention is the best cure! 💖

🌟 Hyperthyroidism in Cats: What You Need to Know 🌟

Is your cat eating more but losing weight? 🐱
They might be showing signs of hyperthyroidism, a common condition in older cats where the thyroid gland produces too much hormone. This can lead to symptoms such as:

🔸 Increased appetite
🔸 Weight loss
🔸 Restlessness
🔸 Increased thirst
🔸 Vomiting or diarrhoea

Early diagnosis is key! If you notice these signs, please consult with our vets for a check-up. Treatment options are available to help your feline friend live a healthier, happier life. 🐾❤️

It's Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🧡😻

Did you know❓
Ginger cats have a predominance of a certain pigment known as pheomelanin—the same pigment that produces red hair in humans!
Ginger cats are also more likely to be male than female. This is because the “ginger gene” which produces the orange color is on the X chromosome.

BREED SPOTLIGHT: Norwegian Forest Cat 🐈🐾

The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, heavily b***d, heavily coated cat. They are muscular and look like the hunters they used to be. Being territorial, the Norwegian likes room to make their own. They enjoy running, hiding and ambushing their toys! Perches and room to run should be provided.

Norwegian Forest Cats are sweet and loving. They appreciate praise and love to interact with their parents. They makes loving companions and bond with their parents once they accept them for their own. 💞

Norwegian Forest cats must be groomed daily to keep their coat free from knots and tangles, especially during shedding season. This grooming can be incorporated into play time, but generally they enjoy being groomed. As with all thick coated cats, a hairball remedy may need to be given when regular shedding is occurring.

Norwegian Forest cats live an average of 8-14 years. 💓

💥 The Importance of Dental X-rays 💥

Our pets simply cannot tell us when their teeth are sore or if they are in any pain.
Dental x-rays in animals are similar to those taken in humans. An x-ray machine using small amounts of radiation is used to see the inside of your pet's teeth and those areas below the gum line that are hidden from view. 🦷🩻
Unlike humans, our pets need to be under general anaesthesia. Without anaesthesia, the x-ray sensor cannot be accurately placed. They are also required to be still during the oral assessment, treatment and prevention procedures.

Our pets may need an oral examination under anaesthesia when they are displaying these signs:

🦷 Discoloured or fractured teeth
🦷 Swollen and inflamed gums
🦷 Oral growths
🦷 Tartar
🦷 Bad breath

Even without any of these signs, pets should have their mouths x-rayed at least once every year. People routinely have dental x-rays at least every other year.
To book a dental health check for your pet please call our friendly nurses. 📞

How do dental chews work? 🤔🦷

Dental chews for pets serve as a convenient and enjoyable way to help maintain your pet's dental hygiene. They work by addressing several oral health concerns that cats and dogs commonly face, such as plaque buildup, tartar formation, bad breath and gum disease.

1️⃣ Mechanical Action. Dental chews have a textured surface that helps mechanically remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. As your pet chews, the abrasive action of the chew helps to scrape off the buildup of plaque, which is a soft film of bacteria that can eventually harden into tartar.

2️⃣ Saliva Stimulation. Chewing on dental treats encourages the production of saliva. Saliva plays a natural cleansing role in the mouth, helping to wash away food particles and bacteria. Increased saliva production can aid in reducing the bacterial population in your pet's mouth.

3️⃣ Ingredients for Oral Health. Many dental chews contain ingredients that are specifically chosen to support oral health. These might include enzymes that help break down plaque, antimicrobial agents that target bacteria, and other compounds that contribute to overall mouth health.

4️⃣ Chewing Action. The act of chewing itself can help strengthen the muscles of the jaw and maintain healthy gum tissue. This chewing action can also stimulate blood flow to the gums, which is essential for your pet’s health.

5️⃣ Freshening Breath. Some dental chews contain ingredients like chlorophyll, mint or other freshening agents that can help improve your pet's breath by reducing the odour-causing bacteria in their mouth.

It's important to note that while dental chews can be a useful addition to your pet's oral care routine, they are not a substitute for regular veterinary dental care. It's a good idea to consult with our vets before introducing dental chews into your pet's diet, especially if they have any pre-existing dental issues or dietary restrictions. 💙

It's National Check the Chip Day! 🐶🐱

Microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.

🐾 Make an appointment with our vets for microchipping if your pet isn’t already microchipped (we will make sure that your pet’s chip is immediately registered).

🐾 Check your already-microchipped pet’s registration information in the microchip manufacturer’s database, and make sure it’s up-to-date. To find out which database your pet's chip is registered, visit www.petaddress.com.au

⭐️ Pet of the Week ⭐️ This week, we’re shining the spotlight on our brave little friend, Cricket! 🐶 When Cricket came in, he was holding his eye shut, and we knew we had to help him right away. After a thorough examination with Dr. Lauren, we discovered a long piece of grass lodged in his eyelid, which was causing an ulcer. Thanks to prompt treatment and medication, Cricket was sent home with instructions to return for a check-up in 24 hours. We’re thrilled to report that he’s made fantastic progress—his eye is almost 80% healed! 🎉 A gentle reminder to all pet parents: if you notice anything unusual with your pet’s eyes, please don’t hesitate to get them checked. Keep up the great work, Cricket! We’re so proud of you! ❤🐾 #bottletreevets #vet #familyfriendly #petsandtheirpeople #dalbyvet #petsofdalby #PetOfTheWeek #VetClinic #CricketTheDog #EyeHealth #PetCare #HappyHealing

MYTH BUSTER 💥 MYTH: It’s okay to skip flea and tick preventatives during the winter. FACT: Fleas prefer warmer conditions but they can be active year-round so that’s why using prevention throughout the year is essential. They are also quite happy to live in temperatures over 8 degrees, so freezing them out is also impossible in Australia. As soon as there are a few warmer days (or the heater is turned on) these eggs hatch. This leads to an emergence of fleas and lots of itchy pets. An adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. Once you get a flea outbreak, it can take up to 3 months to stop the cycle! #bottletreevets #vet #familyfriendly #petsandtheirpeople #dalbyvet #petsofdalby #fleas #parasites #parasiteprevention #fleasinwinter #healthypets #healthydogs #healthycats
