⚠️ATTENTION⚠️

With the recent announcement of HomeSade ID closing their database, it is important that you check your pets microchip details. If they are registered with HomeSafe ID you are at risk of losing access to your pets information which is crucial for their safety if they go missing. You can check which company your pet is registered with by going to https://petaddress.com.au/

If your animal is registered with Home Safe ID you will have to re-register with a different company.

Microchip companies:

Global Micro Animal Registry (they are offering free registration)
Australasian Animal Registry (there is a fee for registration)
Central Animal Records (there is a fee for registration)

If you need any further assistance please call us on 07 4162 5511.

Thank you so much to all our wonderful clients who were so understanding as we celebrated our Staff Christmas Party this past weekend.
We understand how difficult it must be for some patients who are requiring emergency treatment which is why we do give alternative emergency services available.

Unfortunately not everybody was as understanding and we received some horrible voicemails. This behaviour is not tolerated or appreciated. We try our very best to provide these services throughout the year but unfortunately we cannot always be available.

Thank you again for your understanding.
With love from the KVS team. 🫶🎄

We will be closed for the remainder of the weekend.

For emergencies please see our pinned post for emergency vets.

We will be back to normal trading hours Monday at 8am. 🎄🍸🍹

💥 URGENT PLEASE READ & SHARE 💥

We are seeing a LARGE amount of paralysis tick cases lately. Once your pet is bitten by a tick, the tick then burrows into your pet and injects a poison as they feed on your pet. This toxin then causes your pet to become paralysed. Paralysing them to the point they can have trouble breathing and swallowing which then can result in death.

We are urging pet owners to get their pets on a suitable preventative immediately. Please keep your pet up to date, missing a dose could put your pet at risk.

Signs your pet is suffering from a paralysis tick-
Weakness
Trouble getting up or walking
Changes in breathing
Difficulty swallowing
Vomiting
Change in bark or meow
If you suspect your pet has a paralysis tick- call 41625511.

Today’s special guest. His mum got hit by a car and unfortunately didn’t survive. But this little guy will be looked after by a carer then released back into the wild.

Thank you to our generous wildlife carers for all the hard work you do! 🫶💛

With the warmer weather unfortunately our slithering little friends have come out to play 🐍 Here are some things to look out for if your pet has been bitten.
🔸 collapse followed by supposed recovery
🔸muscle tremors or shaking
🔸dilated pupils
🔸a quick onset of weakness
🔸lethargy
🔸inability to control their bladder or bowels (with black snakes, blood in urine may be present)
🔸bleeding from nose, mouth or bite site
🔸in severe cases, complete paralysis

Time is everything with these types of cases, so if you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake or are showing any of these symptoms, please give us a call on 41625511. Have a great day from everyone at Kingaroy Vet Surgery 🐾
