🐍 Snake Season is Here – Protect Your Pets! 🐾

As the weather warms up, Australia’s snakes, including the Brown Snake and Red-bellied Black Snake, become more active. Here's what you need to know to keep your pets safe:

⚠️ What to Look Out For:

Brown snakes are slender with varying shades of brown or grey.
Red-bellied snakes are black with a reddish belly.
Snakes may hide in long grass, bushy areas, and around water sources.
But of late have been found sunbaking out in the open near footpaths.

🐍 What to Do if You Encounter a Snake:

Leave it alone. Snakes are generally shy and will only attack if provoked or threatened.
If you see the snake before it sees you, stay still and slowly back away if it doesn't move toward you.
Give the snake time to move away. Most snakes will leave on their own if they don’t feel threatened.

🐕🐈 Signs Your Pet Has Been Bitten:

Sudden collapse, followed by apparent recovery
Lethargy, weakness, or trembling
Vomiting or excessive drooling
Dilated pupils, paralysis, or difficulty breathing
Blood in urine

🚨 What to Do:
Stay calm and keep your pet still to slow the spread of venom.
Avoid applying a tourniquet or cutting the wound.
Seek immediate veterinary attention – every minute counts!

For more information or if you suspect your pet has been bitten, contact us ASAP on 07 3282 7888!

With Halloween around the corner, its time to reminder you about pets and chocolate!
It’s a common fact that chocolate isn’t good for animals, especially dogs.
Chocolate contains caffeine and the chemical compound ‘theobromine’, which are toxic to pets. This is because cats’ and dogs’ digestive systems can’t break them down in the same way as humans. The chemicals build up and can cause organ disease and failure if not treated properly.

If you are concerned that your pet may have consumed chocolate, contact the clinic on 07 3282 7888

Heartworm is a deadly disease that is characterised by a large parasitic worm that can grow up to 30cm long. The heart is forced to overwork due to the resistance that the heartworms create in the heart, which can lead to heart failure.
How to prevent heartworm?
Unfortunately heartworm is spread through mosquitos like dengue fever in humans. The only prevention for heartworm is to either have your vet give a yearly injection of ProHeart SR12 injection (heartworm injection) OR giving a worming tablet that covers heartworm monthly. We stock MilPro which, if given monthly, will prevent heartworm in your pet.
Does heartworm affect humans?
Luckily heartworm does not make humans sick, and adult heartworm cannot develop in our heart. However, there are thirty different types of animals that can carry heartworm, including wild dogs, dingoes and foxes.
Discuss your options for prevention with our team in clinic or call 07 3282 7888

Spring is almost upon us and baby birds are already starting to fledge and jump bravely into the world. Here's a guide of the best course of action if you find a baby on the ground. Remember that not all babies need rescuing, sometimes being on the ground is a part of a natural growth and learning phase. Also remember that your scent on the chick will NOT stop the parents from returning to care for it, so don't be afraid to put it back into the nest if you are able.

Tick Prevention
To help protect your pet from tick paralysis, use a registered tick preventative product and check your pet daily for ticks. If you find a tick, remove it immediately, and contact the clinic immediately.

We stock the following products for tick prevention
• Bravecto plus for cats: A topical (spot-on) every 10 weeks
• Bravecto spot on for dogs: A topical (spot-on) administered every 6 months
• Bravecto chew for dogs: An oral flavoured chew administered every 3 months
• Simparica Trio: An oral flavoured tablet administered every month
Make sure you administer tick preventatives ALL YEAR ROUND.

Search your pet daily for ticks: although tick preventatives will control most of the ticks, it is still important to perform daily searching for ticks and tick craters (scabby, circular skin lesions where a tick was previously attached). Remember to check in the mouth ears, in between and underneath the toes, tail and underneath the collar. If your pet has a long coat, consider clipping the coat during periods of increased risk.

Murphy came in recently for his desexing procedure. In male dogs this is called a castration, where both testicles are removed. Murphy stayed in hospital with us for the day while he had his procedure, and recovered very well.
After the desexing procedure, an e-collar (cone) is placed to prevent your pet from licking at their stitches/surgical site. It is also important to keep them calm and rested, with no swimming, bathing, running or jumping while they heal from surgery.
We provided free check ups 3 days and 10 days after the surgery to ensure your pet is recovering well.
Any guesses to what breed he is?

Preventative blood tests can be used to look at your pet's blood cells, enzymes, and other indicators that offer a snapshot of your pet's overall health. These tests can pick up on signs of reduced organ function, inflammation, and infection and are commonly used to discover signs of underlying health concerns.
When is the last time your pet has gone through a routine blood test? 💉
