How do you know if your pet is in pain?

Pets can be very subtle when they are in pain. These signs are often not obvious, as animals have instincts to hide pain and weakness.

Your pet could be in pain if it;
- Is reluctant to jump up onto things that they used to, or slow walking up stairs
- Favours one leg when walking or running
- Reluctant or slow to get up from resting
- Pulls up shorter than it used to when taking a walk or exercising

It is important to know that an animal will often continue to eat, and may not obviously 'yelp' when they are in pain.

If you think your pet is in pain, please book an assessment with one of our vets and we can discuss a range of options to best suit your pet's and your needs.

Wow- it was certainly busy at Cooinda Vet Hospital this afternoon! Today we were lucky to have Dr Jeff Smith, a veterinary eye specialist from Eye Clinic for Animals here assessing eyes in dogs of all shapes and sizes! It was lovely to meet breeders from near and far. Dr Jeff assessed over 100 dogs this afternoon - many of them from breeders who want to ensure they are breeding healthy pups! A big thankyou to one of our local cavalier breeders Jayne Gough for organising the clinic and ensuring it ran smoothly today- no small feat with so many dogs to look at! Even my little old foxie (Punch) was assessed to make sure her eyes were ok ( and they were! ). 😅

Hendra Virus in horses

There has been a horse death this month in southeast Queensland from Hendra Virus. This virus is extremely dangerous, as it can spread from horses to people, and has a very high death rate. 70% of people that have acquired this virus from horses (often vets) have died from the disease.

The closest case of Hendra to our community was in Newcastle in 2021.
It is possible that Hendra may spread closer to Sydney and our region in the future.
We highly recommend vaccinating your horse against Hendra, particularly if you are travelling North for competitions and clinics. Horses require 2 vaccinations one month apart, then another 6 months later. After this, they can be done annually. Your horse will be microchipped (if not already done) and put on a registry that will send you reminders for your vaccinations.

What is Hendra? The virus is shed by flying foxes when under stress, particularly in winter months. It is shed in the faeces and urine of the flying foxes, where it can be ingested by horses from contaminated feed or water. Horses show very variable signs of the disease, which may include lethargy, fever, inappetence and colic. They usually die within 7 days of showing symptoms.

If Hendra virus comes closer to our community, in the interests of everyone's safety, your unwell horse may either not be seen by a veterinarian unless it is up to date with its Hendra vaccination, or only be given pain relief until a negative test has been established. It is recommended to keep up to date with vaccinations to avoid any issues in the future.

Please don't hesitate to contact our friendly team if you would like to discuss this further or organise a vaccination for your horse!

Aural haematomas
When your dog's ear suddenly swells up like a balloon!
Aural haematomas are when a dog's ear swells up with blood, separating the cartilage from the thin layer of skin covering it. They can be caused by anything that causes excessive ear scratching or head shaking, such as;
- Grass seeds down the ear
- Fleas or mites
- Ear infections
- Trauma
Treatment is complex, as simply draining the blood will only cause it to refill again. If an aural haematoma is left without treatment, it will turn into a 'cauliflower ear' that will cause ongoing issues such as recurrent ear infections.
If you suspect your dog may have an aural haematoma, it should be brought to your vet as a matter of urgency in the next business day. This condition is painful and irritating for your dog and the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome.

COLIC

What is colic? Colic is a general term for stomach pain in a horse. It may sound harmless, but some causes of colic can be deadly. Colic can be caused by a twisted gut, cramping stomach, ulcerations in the gut, an impaction/blockage, or bloat.

Causes of colic can include (but are not limited to):
- stress (e.g. a change in weather)
- worms
- change in diet
- eating sand (more common with sandy dirt)
- dehydration
- long term/ improper use of NSAIDs (e.g. bute)
- dental problems
- the list goes on...

Common signs of colic include:
- lethargy
- inappetence
- lying down more than usual
- kicking at their stomach
- lip curling
- sweating
- When it starts to get bad, they often will start to roll and thrash their head around.

Treatment for colic depends on its cause and severity, and can range from medication to surgery.

If you see any signs of colic, or are unsure, please give us a ring! This is often an emergency. The earlier you catch signs of colic, and the earlier we treat, the better the chances.

Parvo
What is parvo? Parvovirus is a highly contagious, deadly disease in dogs. Protection from parvo is gained from vaccinations, particularly for puppies, who are extremely vulnerable.
Parvo can be caught by adult dogs, and then spread easily to other dogs. Once a dog is infected, it can shed the virus in its saliva, nasal secretions and faeces, which can survive in the soil for YEARS.
When parvovirus strikes, it usually causes;
- Severe diarrhoea with blood
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Trouble breathing
- Up to a 40% death rate in puppies

Please ensure that your dogs are up to date with their vaccinations, to help prevent the spread of parvo. Puppies should be vaccinated as early as 6 weeks old, followed by boosters as advised by your vet. Adults should have yearly vaccinations, or their vaccine titres measured yearly via a blood test.

If you are unsure that your dog is up to date with its vaccines, please do not hesitate to contact the clinic and ask our friendly team.

Ongoing Medications!
For all ongoing medications such as Cytopoint, Apoquel, Vetmedin, Frusemide, Gabapentin, Meloxicam etc, please note that due to Veterinary Board legislation, your pet MUST be seen and examined by a veterinarian every 6 months.
We cannot prescribe or give these medications unless your pet has had a consult with one of our vets within the last 6 months. This not only a legal requirement but is important ensure that your pet is getting the best possible care. Please not that if your pet has had an appointment for a different reason in the last 6 months, this is sufficient. We understand that this may be difficult for some people so the consult fee will be charged at a reduced rate (revisit fee) to help you with this regulation as long as there are not other problems that need to be discussed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

RINGWORM

Ringworm is a highly contagious disease that you can get from cats and dogs.

Did you know that ringworm is not a worm? It is actually a fungus, but it gets its name from the circular "ring"-like lesions it causes.

Ringworm can present as hairless, flaky or scaly areas on the skin of your pet. It often worsens over time and can be quite irritating. These spots are often around the eyes, ears and on the feet.

Ringworm is easily spread from animals to humans, and to other animals. If you see these lesions on your pet, let us know! Fun fact - some species of ringworm light up under a blacklight ("woods lamp"). See the kitten in the photo below!

Treatment includes topical creams and systemic antifungal medication, as well as a trip to the pharmacist if you have unfortunately caught ringworm yourself. But not to worry! In humans this disease is easy to treat (though takes a few weeks) and causes no long term harm.

Whilst you are most likely to come into contact with ringworm via your dog or cat, it can be found on almost any species, including cows, horses, sheep, goats, wombats and more.

If you suspect your pet has ringworm, give us a ring - we're always happy to have a chat!
