CANINE PARVOVIRUS ALERT!

📍Unfortunately there has been multiple recorded cases of Canine Parvovirus in and around Maryborough.
🦠Parvovirus is highly contagious and results in symptoms including loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea (may contain blood). Parvo affects dogs of any age that are not up to date on vaccines.
⏰ This Virus can survive for up to 7 years in the environment. It can withstand routine cleaning, which means the spread of the virus is hard to control. It is important to understand that your dog does not need to have direct contact with an infected dog for them to become infected with Parvo themselves.
💉 Thankfully, Parvo can be easily prevented with vaccination! So please if your puppy or adult dog is due for vaccines, we encourage you to book them in ASAP! It is important to remember even if your adult dog has had their puppy course, they still need a tri-annual vaccine to keep them up to date and covered for Parvo.
🐾 Please share with local friends and family so we can keep all our fur-babies happy and healthy!

📞 If you have any questions or would like to book your dog in please feel free to call us on 07 4123 1570.

Brave hearts of the month!

We had 10 gorgeous Bull Arab puppies come into the clinic for their first vaccination and health check, in preparation to head off to their new homes shortly.

They were very brave and well behaved pups! 🐶🏠

Saving one pet will not change the world, but surely for that one pet, the world will change forever.

By adopting, you will be changing an animal’s life and giving them a second chance at happiness.
Adopting is such a kind and compassionate act that is truly appreciated!
We are lucky to have a couple of great rescue facilities in the Fraser Coast area.
Found Hearts Pet Adoption and the Maryborough Animal Refugee both have many animals looking for their furever home! 🏠🐾

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
