Public Notification: Spike in Tick Paralysis Cases

Dear Valued Clients,

We are currently experiencing a significant increase in cases of tick paralysis among pets in our community. Tick paralysis is a life-threatening condition caused by toxins released when the paralysis tick, attaches to pets.

Symptoms to Watch For:
• Weakness in the back legs, progressing to total paralysis
• Changes in voice or bark
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing
• Vomiting or lack of appetite

If you notice any of these symptoms, seek veterinary care immediately. Tick paralysis can worsen quickly, so early intervention is critical.

Prevention Tips:

To protect your pets:
1. Use Tick Preventatives: Ensure your pet is on a vet-recommended tick prevention treatment, such as collars, spot-on treatments, or oral medications.
2. Perform Daily Tick Checks: Run your hands over your pet’s body daily, paying special attention to the head, neck, ears, and underbelly. Do this even if your pet is on prevention.
3. Keep Grass and Bushes Trimmed: Ticks thrive in overgrown vegetation. Maintaining a tidy yard can reduce tick habitats.
4. Avoid High-Risk Areas: During tick season, minimize your pet’s exposure to bushy or grassy areas where ticks are common.
5. Know the Signs: Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of tick paralysis and act quickly if they appear.

What to Do if You Find a Tick:
1. Remove the Tick Promptly: Use tweezers or a tick-removal tool to grasp the tick close to your pet’s skin and pull it out steadily.
2. Save the Tick for Identification: Place it in a sealed container and bring it to your vet if needed.
3. Monitor Your Pet: Even after removal, the effects of the tick’s toxin may continue. Watch closely for symptoms and contact us immediately if you notice changes. The safest decision is to come in directly after removing a paralysis tick.

Stay Vigilant and Informed

Tick paralysis is preventable with proper care and awareness. Please contact our clinic if you have questions about tick prevention products or if you need assistance managing your pet’s risk.

Thank you for helping us keep your pets safe and healthy.

Sincerely,
Central Veterinary Surgery

Remembrance Day 2024 - Lest We Forget.

Today we remember those who made the supreme sacrifice for us in time of war. At 11am on the 11th of November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare.
May they never be forgotten.

Bovine Ephemeral Fever aka '3-day sickness' aka BEF

With the wet season on its way, it is important to familiarise yourself with 3-Day sickness in cattle.

3-Day is an arthropod-borne virus, most likely to be transmitted through mosquitoes and biting midges. 🦟

Animals effect include cattle and buffalo. 🐂🐃
Clinical signs to look out for include; fever, lameness, shivering, muscle stiffness and down animals.

Luckily, there is a vaccination available 💉
However, if in need of treatment, not to worry. Treatment entails nursing care, anti-inflammatory drugs, providing water, shade and food. If left too long, unfortunately treatment can be unsuccessful. ☎️

If you are in need of any assistance or would like a chat about 3-Day (prevention/treatment), give the clinic a call on 40922311.📞

And so the first one arrives!

Central Vets first AI foal of the season joined us recently. This little one thought that inside mum was a pretty cosey place to stay and ended up being born almost 365 days after conception. We don't mind though as she arrived nice and healthy!

If you're interested in breeding your mare this season or just want to find out some more information on what is involved feel free to give the clinic a call on 4092 2311.
