Did you know that raisins are toxic to cats and dogs? 🐾🍇

While we’re enjoying our holiday treats, make sure to keep raisins and grapes away from your pets! Even small amounts can cause severe kidney failure and other health issues 🤒

Signs of raisin or grape toxicity include vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite. If your pet accidentally eats raisins, contact us immediately for advice, or reach out to your local emergency clinic 📞 (07) 3816 0210

Have you met Ronny? 🐈

This sweet Ginger boy is our clinic cat who keeps us all company throughout the day.

If you're a long time client of ours you may remember Tinkerbell who was our old clinic cat. Don't worry, Tink is still alive and well, being doted on by our lovely Dr Mel 💗

Ronny spends his days with us being well fed, brushed and loved up by our team. You may not see him around, as he's usually out the back supporting us, but he's a ball of love with some funky eyes to match his sweet personality 👀

✨ Snowy ✨

Snowy came in for his final puppy vaccination and checkup with Dr Steph this morning.
Not only was he a brave boy for his injections, he also impressed the ladies by taking his worming tablet like it was a treat 🥰

Vaccinations are essential to ensure your puppy is protected against infectious and harmful diseases 🦠
In Australia, Parvovirus is one of the more serious of these infectious diseases and it survives in the soil. Unfortunately there is now an increased risk to your dog due to the recent rain event spreading soil from one property to another.. 🌧️

If your pet is overdue for their vaccination or if you are unsure if your pets vaccines are up to date, please give the Little Critters Team a call.

With the change in seasons comes allergies! 🐕

Excessive scratching can cause lots of irritation on your little one's skin and can lead to some nasty scabs.
Getting on top of this as soon as possible is the key to success, so if you're concerned or have noticed a change in behaviour, give our team a call today! 📞 (07) 3816 0210 🌸🌼

✨ Meet Molly ✨

Molly visited Dr. Anna this morning for a quick puppy check-up and help with her flea, tick and worming treatments 💗

Staying proactive with your little ones health is super important and prevention is key 🔑 Regular preventative care, with her monthly dose of Nexgard Spectra, helps ensure Molly stays protected all year-round as her little body grows.

We have a variety of options available in clinic! If you need help choosing the right prevention for your pet, give our knowledgeable team a call and we'd be happy to help!

‼️ Very Important Update Regarding Pet Microchips ‼️
HomeSafe ID (one of the microchip pet registry companies) will very soon cease to operate.

This means that if your pets microchip is registered with HomeSafe ID you will need to change your pets microchip to an alternate registry company.

Once HomeSafe ID ceases to operate, vet clinics and the council will NOT be able to access your details to reunite you with your pet should they go missing/be found.

Fortunately animals that have had their microchip implanted at Little Critters will not be affected as our microchips are registered with the Australasian Animal Registry. However there will still be a large number of animals affected by this closure.

If you know your pets microchip number, you can enter the number at petaddress.com.au This will tell you which registry your pet is registered to - if it is HomeSafe ID please contact the clinic on 3816 0210 and we can provide the information required to change registries.

If you don’t know your pets microchip number - not to worry. Just give the clinic a call or pop in for us to scan your pets microchip number, so we can advise if you need to do anything further.

Any questions please contact reception on 07 3816 0210 to speak with one of our nurses.

Why do we recommend blood tests❓

Blood tests are beneficial for many reasons, not only for aiding in the diagnosis of illness in unwell pets and helping to facilitate a smooth and safe experience during anaesthetic monitoring, but to also gain a better understanding of your pets general health.

🐾 As we all know our senior pets are prone to arthritis and mobility issues, they like to sleep more and play less, but unfortunately other health issues show similar signs. Blood tests are the best way to distinguish whether your senior family member has any underlying health issues.

💊 Some medications can cause effects on vital organs, like the liver and kidneys, and regular blood tests allow us to monitor your pets response to their medication and adjust the dose as needed or find an alternative, where appropriate.

🩸 Vital parameters are assessed such as organ function, blood cell counts and an overall physiological picture of your pets health that isn’t visible on a physical examination.
These tests aid in the early detection of health issues allowing quicker intervention for a better chance of treatment options.

Next time you are in for a checkup, don’t hesitate to ask Dr Anna and Dr Mel about a routine blood test and how often it is recommended for your furry friend.

Help us help you keep your pet thriving and living their best life 💙

To our wonderful clients - An update on Tinkerbell🐾

For the past 18 months (as the clinic has gotten busier) we have been struggling to control Tinks’ recurrent stress cystitis.

We had hoped it would settle with the move to a bigger clinic …. and it did for a while but has recently returned.

Tinks is 13 yrs old now and the team have come to the realisation that clinic life may not be for her anymore.

Soooo….. as unpopular as this will be, we have decided to trial retirement for Tinks, to see if her health issues settle. She has gone home with Dr Mel and is so far doing well.

We know she is much loved by everyone and will be missed… but we know everyone will understand.❤️❤️❤️

We started our day with such an adorable paw shake! 🥰 ‘Bonnie’ was so well behaved today for her puppy needles. Welcome to our Little Critters Family 🐶

08/01/2025

This little girl is looking for a new home, through no fault of her own. She is 8yrs old, desexed and vaccinated. She is dog and human friendly once introduced. She has been an inside dog and would like to continue to be inside. Give us a call at the clinic for more information or if you think she might suit your family.
