I’m sure many of you will remember our beautiful clinic cat Ruby.

Some time ago, we decided that Ruby would be much happier in a home and family environment so she headed off on her adventure to live with Dr Ben and his family.

Ruby is now well and truely settled in at Dr Ben’s house. Her favourite activities are exploring every nook and cranny in the house and sitting on the dinner table supervising human meal time! Her favourite snacks are smoked salmon and tuna (she’s very spoilt!!!).

Whilst we all miss her, we are so happy she found her place with Dr Ben and his family.

With Halloween just around the corner here is a few safety tips to keep our furry mates safe.

🎃 Keep chocolate and lollies out of reach - chocolate and anything that contains xylitol can be toxic to pets. Make sure you stash them out of reach.

🎃 Be careful with decorations - curious pets might get too close to candles or cords. Keep them away from anything they might knock over or chew on. Fake cobwebs can also be dangerous if they are ingested.

🎃 Many of us like a cute dress up for our pets! Make sure their outfit is comfy and not too tight. Avoid costumes with small pieces that could be swallowed and if they look uncomfortable it’s best to take it off.

🎃 Keep them safe and inside - those scary trick or treaters can often frighten our pets or increase their stress. Keep them away from the front door to avoid any escapees!

🎃 As always, make sure they have their collar and ID tags on with details up to date… just in case!

Watch out this Halloween for the latest discovery, the Australian Roored Back Spider 🕷️#halloween

🌩️🐾 Is your dog terrified of storms…? You’re not alone! Storm phobia is common among dogs (and apparently our nurses 😉, and it can be heartbreaking to see them stressed and anxious. Here are a few tips to help ease their fear: 1. **Create a safe space:** A quiet room or their favorite hiding spot can be a great escape from the noise. 2. **Use calming aids:** Thundershirts, anxiety wraps, or even calming music can help soothe their nerves. 3. **Desensitize slowly:** Try exposing them to soft recordings of storm sounds, gradually increasing the volume over time to help them get used to the noise. 4. **Vet consultation:** In severe cases, your vet may recommend medication to help reduce their anxiety. Remember, patience and understanding are key. Your dog looks to you for comfort, so stay calm, cuddle up, and ride out the storm together. ❤️🐶 #twintownsvet #vet #coolangatta #tweedheads #drandrewwarman #drginawalker #drbenkane #StormPhobia #AnxiousDogs #PetCareTips #DogAnxiety #CalmDuringStorms #PetParents #DogsOfInstagram

Vomiting - The Ins and OUTS - Dr Andrew Warman Vomiting is one of the most common reasons for pretention to a veterinary clinic. Discussing all the different causes is beyond the scope of this artcle however I would like to give a brief description of how we might approach the pet who presents with a history of vomitng. The first step is to search for clues in the patients history. Young animals are more likely to eat foreign objects such as rocks, toys or other non-digestible things. Access to medictions, plants or toxins may be revealed. Dietary intake can sometimes be suggestive of a cause. Eg fatty meals are more likely to stimulate pancreatits. Determining whether the problem is acute or chronic can influence the diagnostic process. Likewise a history of other symptoms such as diarrhoea, coughing, excessive thirst , difficulty walking, collapse can provide clues as to the cause. A physical exam is performed to assess the patient. We are trying to identify any abnormalities such as dehydration, fever, pain in the abdomen , palpable masses or fluid in the abdomen or evidence of any other abnormality. Once a physical exam is completed we often decide if the patient can be treated and supported symptomatically or if further investigation is required. Animals that are still bright and alert, have no abnormalities on abdominal palpation and have only been vomiting for a short period can often be managed symptomatically with an nausea medication, bland diet and close monitoring. Animals that are depressed, have symptoms suggestive of more severe disease such as fevers, pain, palpable abnormalities or if the vomitng has been present for more than 48 hrs will often require investigation and more intensive treatment often in the hospital. Further investigation can involve blood and urine tests, xrays and ultrasound, endoscopy and ct scans or exploratory surgery depending on the findings. If your pet is experiencing vomiting it is best to have them examined so we

It's important to continue exercising your pet in Winter, as well as keeping them mentally stimulated. Being cooped up inside can encourage destructive and negative behaviours. Walks, runs, catching up with friends and play sessions in the park are perfect ways to keep your pet active. Here are a few tips for you. 👇

Assistance Dog Day is part of the International Assistance Dog Week. The objective is to recognise and value the hard work of assistance dogs. These specially trained dogs provide essential help to so many people in our community. IADW have great resources, to help teach us more about Assistance dogs. #AssistanceDogDay https://www.assistancedogweek.org/

Sometimes when a pet is in pain, you may see subtle changes in their behaviour. Any changes in behaviour can be a sign of pain or other health issues and we recommend taking your furry family to see one of our veterinary team.

For our older pets, it is important that they are kept warm and comfortable during the cooler months. If you notice them struggling to move, it could be age-related diseases such as arthritis. If you are wanting more information on ways to keep your pet warm or have a senior pet that you would like to discuss, contact us today.

Pocket pets, feathered friends and scaled sidekicks, we'd love to see your exotic companions 😍

Does anyone else's pet enjoy having fun in the sun? 🌞

Did you know our pets can suffer from heatstroke too? If you see them panting or drooling excessively, becoming restless or unstable on their feet, or the gums changing to a bluish-purple or bright red colour, it's important to call us immediately and cool them down on the way to see us. The quickest way to cool them down is by using a fan or placing a damp towel over me. In any situation where you are concerned, please call us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We cannot wait to see you and any new additions in clinic soon.
