🚨 Tick Alert: A Remarkable Recovery Story at Kurrajong Village Vets! 🚨

Pet owners, please remember: ticks are a year-round threat, not just in the warm months. A chilly July didn’t stop them from affecting our courageous patient, Ruff. Last week, Ruff arrived at our clinic in a critical state, experiencing severe tick paralysis. He was very sick, couldn’t move and all four legs were paralysed.

Thanks to prompt and decisive treatment, Ruff has made a stunning recovery. He’s not just walking; he’s bouncing around and enjoying life with his best mates—two dogs, two cats, and a horse. This joyful turnaround reminds us of the importance of regular tick prevention, regardless of the season.

Let Ruff’s story inspire you to protect your pets. Ticks may be more active in spring and summer, but they don’t take the winter off. Stay vigilant and keep up with tick prevention to ensure your pets remain safe and healthy all year long.

For advice on effective tick prevention strategies, drop by our clinic or give us a call. Let’s keep our furry friends safe, active, and happy just like Ruff!

Stay pawsitive! 🐶🐱🐴

🐾 Good News Update from Kurrajong Village Vets! 🐾

Last week, our team had the privilege of giving a second chance to one of our furriest friends. A precious cat, who was only showing very subtle signs of distress—being a bit quieter than usual, continuing to eat and drink despite vomiting, and still wandering around the house and backyard—came in feeling under the weather and very grumpy due to some tummy troubles. Upon examination, our very own “crazy cat vet” Dr. Steven, alongside cat expert Dr. Mary, and our super vet nurse Shelby discovered he was suffering from intussusception—a condition where one segment of the intestine slides into another, causing a blockage.

👩‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️ With steady hands and caring hearts, they performed a meticulous surgery to resect the affected tissue and anastomose the intestines. We’re thrilled to report that our feline patient is now recovering beautifully and will soon be back to his charming self.

The owner’s observant nature played a crucial role in catching these very easily missed signs, as cats are quite adept at hiding their discomfort. We’re so grateful for the trust you place in us to care for your beloved pets. A big shoutout to our team for their incredible work and commitment to giving our patients the best possible care. 🌟

Stay pawsitive, everyone! 🐱💕

🐱 Say hello to Thor, Dr. Steven’s own majestic cat! Despite his name hinting at god-like bravery, our clinic visits paint a different picture! Last week, Thor came in for his physical exam, and let’s just say, he wasn’t exactly over the moon about it.

With his royal fluff and dramatic grumbles, Thor proved that even the mightiest heroes would rather be on cozy laps than on clinic tables. Fear not, though—our superstar vet (and his dad!) made sure Thor received all the royal treatment and checks needed to keep ruling his domain in top health!

A big shoutout to all our pet parents for their unwavering dedication, even when their fur-kids are less than thrilled. Remember, a healthy pet is a happy pet—even if they voice their opinions loudly about the process! 😸

🐾 Is your pet’s vaccination up to date? 🐾

Ensuring your pets receive timely vaccinations is crucial for their well-being. We offer the comprehensive C7 vaccine for dogs and the F3 vaccine for cats, which provide robust protection against significant diseases:

• C7 Vaccine: Shields dogs from Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Canine Parainfluenza, Canine Coronavirus, and Canine Leptospirosis.
• F3 Vaccine: Protects cats against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Panleukopenia.

Failure to keep vaccinations current can expose your beloved pets to severe health risks, including contracting preventable diseases and potentially high treatment costs.

Don’t wait for illness to strike before you act! Visit us at Kurrajong Village Vets, located at 16 Old Bells Line of Road, Kurrajong, NSW 2758, or give us a call on 02 4573 1216.

🐾 Spotlight on Kennel Cough: More Than Just a Kennel Issue! 🐶💨

🔍 What is Kennel Cough?
Also known as canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD), it’s a mix of pathogens like bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza, not just a single bug! This common illness can catch up with your dog in parks, during walks, or even at home.

🎭 The Misleading Name:
Despite the name, Kennel Cough isn’t limited to kennels. Anywhere dogs gather, the risk follows!

🤧 Symptoms to Watch:
Keep an ear out for a distinctive honking cough, along with sneezing and a runny nose. These are classic signs that your pup might be dealing with more than just excitement.

💉 Vet’s Advice:
Regular vaccines are key to prevention, especially in social dogs. Don’t wait for the cough – protect your pup ahead of time!

🤗 Let’s debunk this myth and protect our pets! Share to educate other dog lovers about keeping their furry friends healthy and happy. 🐶💕

👁️🐾 Spotlight on Pet Health: Understanding Corneal Ulcerations in Dogs and Cats 🐾👁️

Hey Pet Parents! Today, let’s shed some light on a common eye condition that can really bother our furry friends - corneal ulcerations.

What is a Corneal Ulcer? 🧐
The cornea is the clear, outer layer of your pet’s eye. An ulcer usually occurs from a scratch or trauma and can lead to more serious issues if not treated promptly.

Symptoms to Watch For: 😢

• Excessive blinking or squinting
• Redness and swelling
• Watery eyes
• Your pet pawing at their eye
• A visible cloudy or dull area on the cornea

Causes:
Anything from a playful scuffle with a fellow pet to a dusty trail can lead to a scratch on the cornea. Even their own fur or lashes can sometimes be the culprit!

Diagnosing with Fluorescein Stain: 🔍
To confirm a corneal ulcer, your vet may use a fluorescein stain. This bright dye highlights any damage to the cornea by clinging to the affected areas, making them glow under a blue light. This quick and painless test is crucial for planning the right treatment!

Treatment: 🚑
It’s crucial to consult your vet if you notice any of these signs. Treatment often includes antibiotic eye drops or ointment, and sometimes pain relief medications. Severe cases might need surgery, but catching it early can help prevent more invasive procedures.

Prevention Tips: 👍

• Keep nails trimmed to avoid scratches
• Use protective eyewear for high-risk activities
• Regular check-ups with your vet to catch any issues early

We’re here to keep those peepers healthy and your four-legged pals happy! If you have any concerns about your pet’s eyes, give us a call. Better safe than sorry when it comes to the health of those eyes we all love so much!

🐾 Patient of the Week: Meet Muppy! 🐱

We're thrilled to introduce our latest star patient, Muppy the cheeky cat! 🌟

Muppy came to us with a bit of a mystery on his paws – he was hiding and not eating, which naturally had his devoted owners worried, especially considering his history of IBD. 😿 But after some thorough diagnostics and plenty of tender loving care (and cuddles, of course!), we discovered that it was a flare-up of his IBD, and mild gastroenteritis causing all the fuss.

Thanks to the dedication of Muppy's loving family, Muppy is now back to his mischievous self! 🎉 With the right medications and an abundance of TLC, he is on the road to making a full recovery and is ready to take on the world again – one playful pounce at a time. 🐾

🐾 Attention Pet Parents! 🐾

Is your furry friend protected? 🐶🐱 It's time to talk about pet insurance and why it's an essential part of responsible pet ownership!

Let's face it, unexpected vet bills can add up quickly. Pet insurance ensures that finances won't stand in the way of giving your pet the best care possible.

Pets are family, and they deserve the same level of healthcare. From routine check-ups to emergency surgeries, insurance allows you to make decisions based on what's best for your pet, not your budget.

Choosing the right insurance company can make all the difference. Look for providers that offer gap only claims, flexibility in coverage, and exceptional customer service.

Your pet's health is worth it! 🐾💙

🐾 Attention Wildlife Lovers! 🌿

We recently had a heart-wrenching encounter with a beautiful sugar glider who was caught in a barb wire fence in Kurrajong. 😔

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that barb wire fences pose to our precious wildlife. The innocent creatures that inhabit our surroundings can easily become ensnared, resulting in severe injuries and distress.

We urge everyone to consider alternative fencing options that are wildlife-friendly and safer for our furry friends. Let’s work together to protect and preserve the beauty of our natural world. 🌏💚

Sending healing vibes to our brave glider friend, after having the barb wire removed safely with us under a general anaesthetic, he is currently under the expert care of a dedicated wires carer. Together, let’s ensure a safer environment for all creatures. ❤️

🐾🏥 Today was extra special at our vet clinic as we had a delightful visitor, Charlie the Corgi! 🐶💕 He came in for his health check and to make sure his vaccinations were up to date. But more than just routine care, Charlie also got plenty of cuddles and attention from Dr. Steven! 🤗

At our clinic, we believe in not only providing top-notch medical care but also showering your furry friends with love and affection. Charlie left with a wagging tail and a smile on his face, and our hearts are full knowing we could make his visit enjoyable.

If your pet needs some TLC along with their check-up, schedule an appointment with us today! Your fur babies deserve the best care possible. 🐾❤️

🐾 Microchipping importance! 🐾

With the recent storms, we've seen an influx of stray dogs at our clinic, many without microchips or up-to-date registration. This serves as a reminder of the vital importance of microchipping and registering your furry friends.

Microchips are the most reliable way to ensure your pet can find their way back home if they ever get lost. They provide a permanent form of identification, unlike collars or tags which can fall off. Don't wait until it's too late! Schedule an appointment to get your pet microchipped.

If you are unsure about your pet's microchip status/details, we are happy to assist you anytime in scanning your pets and checking their registration status. Let's keep our fur babies safe and secure, come rain or shine!

🐶🐱

Please find below link to NSW Pet Registry which is the database all veterinary clinics in NSW use to register/search your animals microchip. This is the method that all clinics use to reunite lost pets with owners.

🐾 Meet Uncle Ned, a beloved 11-year-old Kelpie and honorary guardian of the farm! 🐶❤️

This wise old soul has taken on a mission of his own – nurturing and protecting baby chickens, lambs, and goats until they're strong enough to face the world on their own. 🐔🐑🐐 His dedication to this role is nothing short of heartwarming.

But that's not all! Uncle Ned is quite the aqua enthusiast. 💦 He ensures his daily dose of joy with a refreshing swim in the dam, and when the kids are splashing around in the pool, he transforms into their vigilant lifeguard on duty! 🏊‍♂️🐕

This quirky Kelpie has a mischievous side too – tractor-chasing is his favorite pastime! 🚜 And if you ever need an expert on chicken health, Uncle Ned's got you covered. He'll let out a howl to draw attention if he senses a chicken in distress. 🐓🎶

We're so fortunate to have Ned as a cherished patient, and his unique personality brings smiles to all our faces! 🥳🐾
