The warmer months are officially here, and just like us, our pets can also suffer from allergies.

Signs your pet may have allergies:

Dogs
🐶Chewing and licking feet/belly
🐶Itching or scratching
🐶Rashes
🐶Ear/skin infections
🐶Gunky or red eyes

Cats
🐱Itching around the head and ears
🐱Hair loss or scabbing/scratches
🐱Overgrooming or licking off hair, especially under the belly or on the legs.
🐱Ear infections. Sneezing and/or coughing.

There are many reasons for your cat or dog to get allergies. Some common ones are grass, plants, pollen, dust, food, and fleas

🙋‍♀️What can you do?

Vets can not always identify what causes an allergy to occur. But a veterinary consultation will allow us to inform you of the options available for your pet.

Our vets can recommend the best treatment choice for your pet, this could be an injection, anti-allergy tablets, topical creams, medicated washes, or a change to their diet

🐾If you want to know more about allergies, head to our website in our bio!

Meet Dr. Monica!

🎵 Ohhh Canada 🎶 That’s right, our friendly, bubbly Monica is from the maple syrup loving country Canada, eh.

Monica began her studies in Toronto before moving to our beautiful city, where she completed her studies at Melbourne University, earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

This vibrant individual graced our presence in 2023, and we never want her to leave. She keeps herself busy with basketball, tennis, and swimming whilst also discovering Victoria through hiking and camping.

Here is your friendly reminder to get your pets pearly whites checked.

Poor dental health can lead to a very sore and/or very ill cat or dog, so take advantage of our free dental check to make sure your furry family member is well taken care of.

Gentle eyes that see so much,
Paws that have a quiet touch.
Purrs to signal all is well,
and show more love than words can tell.
Graceful movements touched with pride,
A calming presence by our side.
A friendship that will last and grow -
Small wonder why we love them so.

🐱 Happy International Cat Day 🐱

This kookaburra was brought to Progressive Vet Care by a member of our community after being found injured, likely due to a vehicle collision.

Although this little lady was initially stunned and unable to fly, aside from a few abrasions on her head, there were no serious injuries detected. We provided her with a safe, warm place to recover, and once she was feeling a bit better, she managed to take an unexpected flight around the clinic before being safely captured. Oops! 🙊

After sedation and X-rays revealed no internal damage, a carer from Wildlife Victoria collected her so she could begin her rehabilitation journey. Working with such a magnificent native bird was a pleasure, and we wish her all the best in her recovery and release.

Can you spot the foreign body?

Cats and dogs can be attracted to fish hooks because of their smell. Because of this, they can get stuck on their faces, limbs, paws or cause serious internal damage if swallowed.

Always make sure not to leave your fishing rods unattended, and if you think your pet may have swallowed a fish hook give us a call immediately.

Thankfully, the hook was safely removed and the dog is recovering well.

Meet Dr. Lecsi!

Lecsi hails all the way from South Africa, which is where she completed her Bachelor of Vet Science.

So far, she has had a very interesting and fulfilling career, working with lots of different animals from lizards and tigers to hedgehogs!

Lecsi never stops learning and puts us all to shame with her extra curricular activies. Some of her special interests lie with photography, archery, and jiu-jitsu... which definitely keeps the rest of the team on their toes. 🫣
Will she ever stop!
