🚨 Heartworm Warning for Pet Owners! 🚨
SHARE THIS POST!
This video is of microfilaria, an early life stage of the heartworm, enlarged microscopically from a drop of blood.
Attention, pet parents! We’re seeing a concerning rise in heartworm-positive dogs in our area. Heartworm disease is a serious and life-threatening condition caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. 🦟💔
Why This Matters:
Heartworms can lead to severe health issues like heart failure and lung damage, leading to fatality if not treated.
Prevention is crucial and straightforward with regular preventative measures.
Here’s How to Protect Your Pet:
Use Preventatives: Ensure your dog is on a heartworm prevention plan. Its is always recommended to use the annual heartworm injection, eliminating the uncertainty of monthly chews are forgotten.
Get Tested: Regular heartworm tests help catch any potential issues early.
Control Mosquitoes: Reduce mosquito exposure by eliminating standing water and using safe repellents.
Stay proactive and keep those tails wagging! Share this post to help others protect their pets too. 🐾❤️

Dear pet parents,
We regret to inform you that in a span of 5 days last week, we had two patients tragically pass away due to tick paralysis, despite being on monthly preventative chews. Our hearts go out to their families during this difficult time.
Tick paralysis is a serious and potentially fatal condition. While monthly preventatives are effective, it is simply too easy to forget every so often and the outcome can be heartbreaking.
To enhance your pet's defense against ticks, we strongly recommend considering the yearly flea and tick injection. This treatment, although more expensive than the monthly chews, offers extended protection and could be more suitable for pets at risk, especially during peak tick season.
Your pet's safety is our top priority, and we are here to discuss any concerns you may have or to schedule an appointment for the yearly injection. Please call us at 5498 6555 to learn more and take proactive steps to safeguard your furry family members.
Let's work together to keep our pets happy, healthy, and protected.
Sincerely,
Your local vets, Morayfield Veterinary Surgery

This sneaky python was handed in after being found in a someone's aviary. After advice from the team at Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 we relocated this beauty into some nearby bush.
Be sure to secure your outdoor aviaries or they are vulnerable to all sorts of hungry wildlife.

Cats do very well at hiding their pain. Signs of arthritis in cats can be very subtle and can be easily missed. Signs that sometimes we blame on ageing, may actually be easily preventable and ease their pain. You may notice your cat not wanting to jump up onto the table or bed anymore, or hesitant when jumping down; difficulty running or climbing up stairs. All these things can be signs your cat is in pain. Solensia is a monthly injection that targets and neutralises a protein that stimulates pain in pets with arthritis. Essentially blocking the pain response and giving them a better quality of life. See the before and after video of the use of Solensia. Take advantage of our 20% OFF consultations and ask the vet about Solensia. @zoetis #zoetis #solensia #catswitharthritis #catsofinstagram #cats
Arthritis is an incurable, painful condition causing progressive degeneration of the joint. More prominently noticed in overweight cats or dogs, large dog breeds; however, can affect pets of all sizes. Initially symptoms can go unnoticed, with no sign of pain or vocalisation from pets. Signs may look like; decreased mobility, trouble getting up, walks becoming shorter/slower, limping etc.
These signs are typically noticed more coming into and during the winter months.
