🐾Tick Paralysis🐾

In Queensland Ticks can bite all year round not just in the warmer months. It is very important that your pet is on tick prevention all year round! Especially after all this rain we are having. We have had already one case this week!

These Brands have convenient and simple options available:
🐶- Bravecto(chew, spot on), Simparica (chew), Nexgard (chew)
🐱-Bravecto, Bravecto plus, Nexgard Spectra (spot on)

Another great way to help prevent ticks on your pet is doing daily tick searches. Even if you are on the couch watching TV you can just run your hands all over their body.

If you find a tick on your pet, it is important to contact a vet clinic as soon as possible to have the tick removed and identified! Paralysis ticks are life threatening to your pets if not treated! If you find what you think may be a paralysis tick on your pet, this is an EMERGENCY and should not be ignored!

If your dog has a Paralysis tick you may see the following symptoms in your dog or cat:

• Weakness to full paralysis of limbs (hindlimbs progressing to front limbs)
• Wobbliness
• Breathing difficulties and/or rapid breathing
• Decreased blinking
• Changes to voice (meow/bark)
• Vomiting/Regurgitation
• Loss of appetite

Paralysis ticks are found on the East Coast of Australia and are prevalent in South East Queensland. Paralysis ticks are active all year round, even through the winter months!

Paralysis ticks will become more active through warmer months and high rainfall.

For all questions in relation to Tick Paralysis and prevention products please contact one of our friendly nurses on (07) 5535 1928.

STILL LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME REHOMING - EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Gingerbread and mustard are two beautiful ginger brothers looking for a new loving home together due to a change in circumstances. As they are litter mates they are a bonded pair so therefore are not able to be separated.
They are both 4 years 6months old, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with their flea tick and worming.
They have only ever lived indoors and would be best suited as indoor only cats. They are toilet trained and very well behaved.
They both love to sit on the lounge with you and cuddle up for pats
Gingerbread and Mustard are very playful with each and you can often hear them purring and meow back when spoken to.
They have been around a small dog when they were younger but have not had a trial with other cats or children.
If you would like to meet Gingerbread and Mustard please contact the clinic via Facebook messenger or our email [email protected] or phone 0755341928

Extreme temperatures are set to soar around Queensland today. Please keep your pets cool as possible.

What is heatstroke?
Heatstroke is a term used for hyperthermia which is elevated temperatures. Heart stroke can be very critical for your pets. Reaching a critical temperature can result in multiple organ failure or possible death.

Brachycephalic dogs are also at a much higher risk if they overheat as they have smaller noses and airways meaning they have to put more effort into panting.

Symptoms of you should look for:
- elevated breathing/ excessive panting
- Salivating
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Bright red gums
- Uncoordinated movements
- Lethargic
- Collapse

Tips to keep your pets safe this summer☀️🌸:

🩶NEVER leave your pets in the car, even if it’s only for a short amount of time, it can take only MINUTES for the heat and humidity to become too much - especially if they are panting because they’re hot, stressed and anxious.

🩶 Make sure to always leave your pet with fresh water and shade so they can escape the heat and keep hydrated.

🩶 Walking your pet in the early mornings or late evenings to escape the heat. The ground could also be very hot for their paws and they can become sensitive and even burnt.

If you see any of the following signs in your pet you should urgently seek veterinary assistance. ☀️🌼
