Our trainee nurse, Tiana, checking Walter over for ticks. 🩺💚
Walter was in last week for a tick check and monitoring as he went to the coast and was overdue for his prevention.
Walter would like all pet parents to think about their pets when traveling to the coast! 🩺🐾🏖

13/11/2024

As it is getting warmer and we are taking our pets to the coast, we need to make sure our pets are up to date with tick prevention.
With the Christmas holidays around the corner, it is important that we understand the risks involved with ticks.
In the excitement of planning your Christmas holidays, it is vital not to forget about the need to protect your pets from ticks. If a tick attaches to your pet, there is a significant risk that it will cause tick paralysis.

If your pet is showing any of these signs listed below, please contact the vet wherever you are immediately.

🐾 While you are away, check your pet regularly for any ticks. They are particularly good at hiding in warm locations like; armpits, gum, in between toes and in the ears.

If you see a tick on your pet:
🐾 Stay calm and keep your pet calm
🐾 Call the vet immediately and head to the vet
🐾Try and identify whether it is a paralysis tick ( you may need to do this with your vet)

❌do not pull off or squeeze the tick as more toxins can be released if done incorrectly
❌ do not offer any food or water

When giving your pet tick prevention, make sure it is at least 3 days before you go away.

Please speak to our friendly reception staff for the best product for your pet. And please don't hesitate to contact us at any time if you have any questions.

We would like to pay our respects and remember the men, women, and animal who have put themselves on the front line 💚

Spring is in full swing, and so are the snakes! 🐍
⁣In the warmer months, snakes become much more active, and pet owners need to be careful and safeguard their pets from snake bites.⁣

Dogs will often try to chase or kill snakes, resulting in snake bites usually to the dog's face and legs. Cats, being hunters and chasing anything that moves, are also quite susceptible to snake bites.⁣⁣

The sort of reaction your pet has to a snake bite is determined by a number of factors: the type of snake, the amount of venom injected, and the site of the snake bite. Generally, the closer the bite is to the heart, the quicker the venom spreads to the rest of the body.

If you think your pet has been bitten by a snake, you should keep them calm and quiet and take them to a vet immediately. If safe to do so, please get another personnel to call your nearest veterinary clinic to let them know of your arrival so they are prepared for your visit. The chances of recovery are much greater if your pet is treated early, with some pets making a recovery within 48 hours.

⁣𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘦: ⁣⁣
🐾 Keep the pet calm and quiet⁣
🐾 Apply a pressure bandage to the site of the snake bite to help prevent the venom from spreading to the vital organs⁣
🐾 Head straight to your nearest vet
🐾 Do not disinfect or apply a tourniquet
🐾 Don’t try to catch or kill the snake
🐾 Identifying the type of snake can be useful for vets. Please only do so if safe⁣

🐾 Regularly mow the lawn to keep it from getting too long⁣
🐾 If outside, check bedding regularly
🐾 Clean up any rubbish (it makes for a good hiding place)⁣
🐾 Keep a lookout for a shed snake skin⁣
🐾 Keep dogs on a leash in bushland, particularly around the beaches or water ways

Recently our Vet, Dr. Mark, volunteered his time to travel to the central desert of Northern Territory to provide assistance and support to the Vet Mob amongst our First Nations communities.

Our team were able to provide veterinary services to cats and dogs living in these communities and were able to perform desexing, general health checks and support to our First Nation's regions.

Our team were given such a wonderful opportunity to provide veterinary care to our local regions and continue the on-going effort in helping those in need.

We say thanks to the First Nations communities for welcoming us to provide the necessary care we had the pleasure to give and we were proud to continue our effort to providing care and support to our furry friends!
