ππΎ Meet Lola: A Story of Love, Bravery, and Pawsitivity! πΎπ
π’ Dear Pet Parents,
Over the past few months, weβve encountered a wide range of cancers in pets. Some have been benign, while others have presented more serious challenges.
To raise awareness and keep you informed, weβre dedicating the next few weeks to sharing educational posts about pet cancers, along with inspiring stories from our brave furry patients.
Todayβs story is about Lola, I'm Lola! πΆβ¨
One day, my mum noticed a little lump on my leg. She got worried and rushed me to my favourite vet clinic. Given the location of the lump and my breed, the amazing vets sprang into action and scheduled the surgery right away.
Unfortunately, the results showed that it was a high-grade mast cell tumour. But guess what? My parents love me to the moon and back, and they didn't waste a second. They jumped into action with more surgeries and thorough investigations.
So far, I've bravely battled through 7 rounds of chemotherapy, and I'm not letting this cancer bring me down! I'm living my best life, playing, cuddling, and showering my parents with as much love as they give me.
I could use some extra pawsitive vibes, so give me a thumbs up and let's keep fighting this together! πΎβ€οΈ
We hope these posts provide valuable information and touch your hearts as much as they have touched ours. Stay tuned for many more in the coming days.
πΎ With Care,
Emerald Vet Clinic

ππΎ **A Tale of Two Curious Siblings: A Lesson on Avocado π₯ Safety for Pets** πΎπ
Meet Bo and Charlie, two adorable siblings with a knack for getting into mischief. Bo developed a taste for avocados,π₯. A few weeks ago, he snuck a bite and gave his dad a sleepless night as he battled moderate symptoms of avocado toxicity. Once again, the avocado disappeared from the kitchen bench in a blink of an eye.
Given their previous experience, Bo and Charlieβs dad wasted no time and rushed them to our clinic just before closing. Thanks to our dedicated team, both Bo and Charlie received prompt treatment and were able to head home safely that night.
β¨ **Why Avocados Are a No-No for Pets** β¨
While avocados are a powerhouse of nutrition for humans, they can be harmful to our furry friends. The culprit is a substance called persin, which can cause a range of health issues in dogs and cats.
**Symptoms of Avocado Toxicity in Pets:**
- Loss of appetite (anorexia)
- Gastrointestinal irritation
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal swelling
Additionally, the avocado seed poses a serious risk of gastrointestinal obstruction, which can have fatal consequences. Consuming large amounts of the fruit's flesh can lead to severe pancreatitis, respiratory distress, cardiac conditions like hydropericardium, and even death.
π± **Cats Beware** π±
Cats are just as susceptible to avocado toxicity as dogs, displaying similar clinical signs.
At our clinic, we are committed to keeping your pets safe and healthy. If your pet has ingested something potentially harmful, don't hesitate to seek immediate veterinary care. Prevention is key, so always keep avocados and other toxic foods out of reach.
Stay vigilant, pet parents, and let's keep our furry family members safe and sound! πΆπ±β€οΈ

π° Hoppy News! π°
Today was an exciting day at Emerald Vet Clinic! We had some adorable rabbits visit us for their de-sexing procedures, and we're thrilled to report that everything went smoothly! π
Thanks to our expert staff who are well-versed in rabbit anesthesia and surgery, our furry friends recovered beautifully and are now all set to hop back home to their loving families. π
At Emerald Vet Clinic, we're committed to not only providing top-notch medical care but also supporting our local rabbit rescue organizations. Through our close collaboration, we aim to give every bunny the chance for a happy, healthy life.
Did you know that rabbits are among the most popular household pets in Australia? Here are some fascinating facts about these furry companions:
1. Unique Dental Needs: Rabbits have continuously growing teeth, which means they require regular dental check-ups to prevent dental problems. Our experienced team can help ensure your bunny's dental health is in top shape!
2. Social Creatures: Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are highly social animals and thrive on companionship. If you're considering adding a bunny to your family, we can provide guidance on proper socialization and care.
3. Essential Vaccinations: Just like cats and dogs, rabbits also require annual vaccinations to protect against common diseases. Schedule a vaccination appointment with us to keep your bunny safe and healthy.
Ready to give your bunny the best care possible? Give us a call at 5968 6600 to book an appointment for de-sexing, vaccinations, or any other medical needs. Let's ensure your furry friend enjoys a long and happy life together! πΏπ₯.
