In healthy joints, a slippery tissue called cartilage cushions the ends of the bones in the joints. With Osteoarthritis (or OA) cartilage breaks down, causing pain and swelling. As OA gets worse, bone spurs can form and cause pain and joint damage.
As our pets gets older, you may start to see them not being as active and prefer to sleep more; your cat or dog may not jump onto the lounge or bed as often.
We have provided a list of factors that contribute to osteoarthritis. If you have any questions or concerns, pleae give us a call to book in an appointment with our vets

Day 5 of our colouring competition! And here is a reason why wombats poo is a different shape!
Wombats produce cube-shaped poo and are the only known species to do so! This Aussie marsupial can pass up to 100 deposits of p**p a night. The cube shape helps stop it from rolling away, this is because they use the piles to mark territory. It is also why you see these deposots on rocks and logs.

Day 4 of our colouring competition! And a fact of wombat teeth 🦷
Just like rabbits and guinea pigs, wombats teeth do not stop growing!
Because of the food they eat (grass, roots, shrubs and veggies) can wear down their teeth. In total, wombats have two pairs of incisors, four premolars and sixteen molars.

Day 3 of our colouring competition! And here is some more about wombats.
Wombats can run as fast as us humans! These marsupials can run at speeds of 40km/hr, and that is 7km/hr slower than Usain Bolt!
