Christmas Cuddles 🎄🤍

This is Whisper, the magnificent Ragdoll kitten 😻.

She is a recent addition to her loving family. Life for her started with the wonderful Mackay Animal Rescue Society (MARS). They help animals in need in our area, rescuing them and providing veterinary care as needed until they find their forever homes.

Dr Lisa and Dr Lucinda have met many “failed foster” animals that were once in Mackay Animal Rescue Society care ❤️. Check them out if you are wanting to welcome a new pet into your family, or have the space for a foster pet.

Whisper has fitted into her family with ease. She has 3 human siblings to keep her entertained, and potentially away from the Christmas tree 😉🎄🤣.

Team Christmas 🎄🐨🐊

This weekend we made some time to hang out as a team as 2024 comes to a close.

Where do a group of animal lovers hang out...? Bredl’s farm, amongst native animals!

🐊Did you know that crocodiles grow new teeth if one is lost? They can have 2000 teeth during their lifetime... We got to see an actual croc tooth during the tour, very cool.

Not to miss out, our team was joined by our families for the day. Many memories were made and we are very grateful for all the humans in our small clinic 🫶🏻.

Labrador Parents, This One's For You! 🐕

A Vet's Friendly Guide (starring Hodgey).

Hey Labrador Parents! 🐶 We know you love your furry friends, and we're here to share some insider tips to keep your Lab happy, healthy, and thriving.

Labradors aren't just adorable – they're lovable goofballs, part athletes, part cuddle buddies, and 100% full of joy. Whether they're sporting a 💛yellow, 🖤black, or 🤎chocolate coat, they've got personality for days!

Health Hacks 🩺
Let's talk real talk about Lab health. These pups can be professional food vacuums and couch potato champions, so we've got some pro tips:
- Watch that weight! Labs will literally eat ANYTHING – your shoe, last night's leftovers, the cat's food... you name it.
- Those floppy ears? Super cute, but they need regular checks to prevent infections.
- Annual check-ups are your best friend – we can catch potential issues early.

Exercise: Not Just a Suggestion 🏃
Your Lab doesn't just want exercise – they NEED it. Think of them like that friend who drinks three espressos before noon. They've got energy to burn!
- Aim for 1-2 hours of activity daily
- Play is their love language

Nutrition Secrets 🍖
Those puppy dog eyes are a TRAP. Just because they want food doesn't mean they should eat everything.
- Measure portions
- Quality over quantity
- Low calorie foods such as vegetables and ice cubes are magic
- Treats should be... well, a treat – not a meal
- Monitor body shape

Aging Gracefully 👵🏻
As Labs get older, they're like that cool aunt who's still up for adventures, just a bit slower:
- Joint supplements can be a game-changer, such as 4Cyte.
- Gentler exercises and less jumping
- More cuddle/snooze time
- Regular senior check-ups every 6-12 months

Training: Because Smart is Sexy 👩🏼‍🎓
Labradors are basically the honor students of the dog world. They WANT to learn and please you.
- Start training early at puppy school
- Use positive reinforcement, “Yes!” rather than telling them off.
- Make it fun
- Patience is key!

Guess the Breed 🕵️

Sadie is a welcome addition to a lovely local family. She was spotted at the RSPCA and it was love at first sight for her human sister 🫶🏻.

My question to you all is… do you know what breeds make up Sadie?! 🐶➕🐕

Discipline 🥇Our team are most definitely not here to train your pets… “do what I say, not what I do” is more likely. So when we get to meet pets with tricks or skills, we are very impressed!Here, Ziva the German Shepherd is teaching Nurse Zoe how to do “eight”. Well done Zoe, AND Ziva 😉👏🏻🐾🖤.

Meet Nala, the Australian Shepherd who gives nurse Briony a run for her money in the smile department 🐶💜.

Behind the Scenes Post 👩‍❤️‍👨

Our wonderful veterinary nurse, Briony, recently married her favorite human in the world (apart from Taylor Swift…!): Logan 💁🏻‍♂️.

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚”

Pet loss... It is profound for those of us who welcome pets into our lives as family members.

😞No words will settle the profound grief.
😞No event can distract your heart and brain from the loss.
😞Time makes the loss less heavy but will never take it away.

As a veterinarian and human, it is a gift that we can stop suffering in our pets. It does not make losing them less painful 💔.

Give yourself the grace to grieve them properly. Sharing memories you have of them with trusted friends can help.

If you need support there are many resources including https://petsandpeople.com.au and https://susanprh.wixsite.com/paws-reflect-heal.

Our thoughts are with our clients who have lost beloved family members recently 🤍🐾.

𝐋𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐨 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤 🗞️

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐨?
📕Leptospirosis is an infectious bacterial disease transmitted in rat urine.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐛𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝?
Dogs with lepto become very sick and it can be fatal. 🤒Humans can also become infected (zoonotic disease).

ℹ️ This means it is a recommended vaccine by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association.

We have not had access to the vaccine for the past 18 months. Your dog will therefore need to restart the course of TWO✌🏼injections FOUR 🖖🏼weeks a part. This will then give them protection for 12 months.

EVERY DOG in Mackay needs this vaccination.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧?
🐶Your dog will need this vaccine
📆Due to the number of dogs requiring the vaccine, it WILL take MONTHS for all dogs to become protected again.

** 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?
🩺 If we have an upcoming appointment with your dog, we will ask if you want to vaccinate for Lepto during that visit. This saves having to book a separate visit.
If your dog is due for vaccines in the next few months, we will give them their Lepto vaccine at this appointment, and the booster a month later.

Some dogs are more at risk than others.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤?
🐀Dogs in an environment with lots of rats
🌾Dogs living on cane farms (where rats live).

If your dog fits into either description, let us know when booking and they will be booked as a priority.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤?
1. Visit our website and book online “https://vet.digitail.io/clinics/mackay-mobile-vets”. Book under “𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩“visit.
2. Visit your Digitail app and “Add Appointment”, then select “Repeat Injection”.
3. Email us at [email protected]. Please include your home address and pet’s details.
4. Text or call 0413 622 529. If we do not answer, please leave a voicemail or text.

The vaccine has been out of stock for 18 months, please DO NOT panic.

Continue to avoid exposure risk by managing the rat population at home until they are vaccinated.

‼️ＩＭＰＯＲＴＡＮＴ‼️
The “Repeat Injection” appointment for Lepto will be a brief appointment ONLY for healthy pets.

If you have ANY 🤒 health concerns with your pet, please book a normal “Home Visit Consultation” appointment so that we allocate enough time to assess them thoroughly as they deserve.

If we arrive at a Lepto Vaccine appointment and you have medical concerns, we will NOT to have time to assess your pet thoroughly and we will schedule an additional appointment on a different day.

🐶Your dog’s wellbeing is our top priority, and we are here to help keep them safe and healthy. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns 🐶.

Thank you for trusting us with your pet’s care.

Regards, Dr Lucinda and Dr Lisa 🐾

Is This Your Dog? 🐶 Mackay’s humid climate makes ear infections common amongst local dogs 😎. You will notice ⚠️excessive shaking of their head, ⚠️scratching at their ears, ⚠️sore ears, ⚠️smelly ears. Diagnosis involves cytology under a microscope to assess their ear canal looking for infectious causes and treating with the appropriate medication. 🚨Dogs that experience persistent ear infections often have an allergic dricing cause. Until this is known, they will continue to have infections. We are able to come to your home, thoroughly assess your dog in their own environment, take a sample from their ear and look at it under the microscope and make a plan for treatment with you. All without either of you leaving the house! So…if you think that your dog experiences this problem repeatedly, contact our friendly local team today and let us help you create a solution💥. Contact us via email at [email protected], or call or text on 0413 622 529, or book an appointment online at www.mackaymobilevets.com.au. 🐾 #mackay #mackaymobilevets #itchydog #itchyears #dogearinfections #dogallergies #petsmackay #smallbusinessmackay #vetlife #mackayliving
