🪱Heartworm🪱
Just this week we have had multiple positive cases of heartworm. This patient below has an extreme burden of microfilaria as you can see! Heartworm is carried by infected mosquitoes which we have seen a large amount of over the recent years which is why we are getting an unusually high amount of positive cases!

Proheart Sr12 injections, Simparica Trio & Nexgard Spectra is our recommended products for the prevention of Heartworm in dogs ❤️🪱

The festive season is near which means it will soon be time to break out the Christmas ham or even better the boxing day BBQ whilst watching the cricket🏏. Because ham, BBQ meats contain high amounts of fat they can lead to the onset of Pancreatitis!
Symptoms of pancreatitis are:
🍖 Lethargy
🥓 Vomiting
🍔 Abdominal pain
🍗 Diarrhea
🥩 Death (in serious cases)
Pancreatitis can be a serious problem if left untreated and should be kept in the back of your mind before giving last nights BBQ scraps to your canine pan - licking companion. 🐶

We have had an influx of abusive customers lately and we would just like to remind clients that we WILL NOT tolerate ANY abuse towards our staff.

We, like most businesses are suffering from industry staff shortages & price rises and are doing our best as a family-owned business to keep up a gold standard for your pets while also looking after our staff. We understand it is a stressful time of year and life is expensive these days, but please try to be more considerate towards veterinary staff that are just trying to look after your pets.

Thanks again to the ACA for giving us this incredible opportunity!

The stages of life in a equine pregnancy! 🧬
1st scan is a 14 day pregnancy to QH stallion Jessie San Lee Royal Heart Quarter Horses
2nd is a 23 day pregnancy to USA QH sire NRR Cat King Cole
3rd is a 46 day pregnancy to Granite
And the last being the outcome we all hope for, a happy healthy foal at the end! This filly one is byDuck Dundeee

When breeding horses we recommend your mares get a 14, 45 & 120 day scan to check for twins earlier on and then make sure the pregnancy has stuck as it progresses. We can do all of these scans either at the clinic or we can come to you with our portable crush. Please call the clinic for more information and availability ☎️
