Tick season is well and truly upon us and we are seeing numerous paralysis tick cases in the clinic already!

Cute little Delilah was our first paralysis tick case of the season. She was only 8 weeks at the time and had only been in the care of her new owner for 2 days when she started to present with tick symptoms. Meaning she had a tick on her before she had gotten to her new home.

At home she became quite vocal and seemed like she was trying to vomit and her owner became worried. When Delilah arrived at the clinic her condition had declined and she was showing signs of respiratory distress. Upon examination we had found a paralysis tick behind her right ear. We placed her on oxygen therapy immediately and began treatment, during this she received tick antiserum. Delilah was a very lucky little girl and recovered well over night. The next day she was back to her bright and happy self. Although this is not always the case with paralysis tick patients.

Ticks start to become active towards the end of winter, much earlier then often believed. Prevention is the best method and there are some excellent products on the market.

If you have any questions or are concerned your pet is showing signs of tick paralysis please call us on 07 4123 1570

A big brave girl and her big brave litter ❤️

Rosa and her puppies’ journey at Walker Street Vet was nothing but heart warming. 6 weeks ago, when her owners noticed she went into labour, they rushed her to our hospital on a Saturday. The weekend team quickly assessed her and performed a progesterone test which indicated she was in labour and needed an emergency Caesarean section. With such a large breed performing a caesarean can become complex. She was 65kg, and pregnant with more than 10 puppies! It was an all hands on deck situation, the entire weekend team jumped into surgery to help delivering and reviving the puppies. Rosa has been doing remarkably well since the surgery and recovered with no complications.

We had the pleasure to see Rosa’s litter back this Wednesday for their first vaccine, health check and microchip. Some of them had a bumpier start than others, but now all are doing really well. They will certainly make some families very happy, and we’re thrilled to have been a part of Rosa and her puppies’ journey!

Brave heart of the month

Jack came into the clinic yesterday as his ears were giving him some trouble. He was so brave when he received his sedation and ear clean. He was so gentle and sweet, we all loved having Jack cuddles while he was here with us in the clinic.
