With December just around the corner, it’s time to prepare for the summer holiday season!

🔸 If you have holidays planned and your pets are visiting boarding kennels/catteries, check that their flea treatment, worming and vaccinations are up to date. Vaccination appointments book up fast this time of year so get in early to avoid disappointment.

🔸 If you are travelling with your pets, talk to our team to discuss heartworm and tick prevention, as Australia has many regions with potentially fatal tick borne diseases and heartworm.

After coming into spring and with the weather warming up, means it is mating season for snakes. Snakes are already coming out of hiding and we would like to remind everyone of the potential signs to look out for in your pet, indicating they may have been bitten:
-Excessive drooling or frothing from the mouth
-Respiratory distress
-Tremor of the muscles
-Sudden weakness or collapsing
-Dilated pupils
-Paralysis
-Loss of bowel & bladder control
-Vomiting
If your pet shows any of these signs, give us a call on 5461 4466 and make your way immediately to your nearest vet.
The quicker they are treated the best chance for a positive outcome.
Dogs can show signs within 30 minutes of being bitten.
Cats can start to show symptoms much later.
If your pets are outside, consider their environment & clean away any woodpiles, corrugated iron & long grass.
If you have any questions please give us a call.

Bingo is his name oh!

Poor bingo broke his tibia (shin bone) a few months ago. So Dr James repaired it with a locking plate and screws.

He’s now all healed up and can go back to running and playing 🐶
