🐾 Have You Noticed Changes in Your Dog?

This month, we're shining a spotlight on osteoarthritis in our furry companions.
Last week we focused on cats. Now it’s the turn of our canine companions.

As the colder months settle in, it's crucial to recognize the signs of joint discomfort in dogs, just as we do for ourselves and our feline friends.

Early detection plays a crucial role in managing osteoarthritis and ensuring your dog's quality of life remains high. Here are some early signs and symptoms to keep an eye out for:

🐾 Limping or stiffness, especially after resting or in the mornings.
🐾 Difficulty getting up from lying down or reluctance to move.
🐾 Decreased interest in activities they once enjoyed, like walks or playing fetch.
🐾 Changes in behavior, such as irritability, restlessness, or withdrawal.

If you've noticed any of these signs in your dog, it's essential to take action.
We have many treatment options available to help alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis in dogs. These treatments can enhance their mobility and overall comfort, allowing them to enjoy a more active and pain-free life.

You can also take a quiz that will help assess your dog from the answers you provide.

Have you noticed a change in your cat?

This month we are focusing on osteoarthritis in our patients.

As the colder winter mornings set in, it’s crucial to be aware of osteoarthritis in our feline friends. Just like humans, cats can experience joint pain and stiffness, especially when the temperature drops.

Early detection is key to managing this condition and ensuring your cat’s comfort.

Early Signs and Symptoms to Watch For:

🐾 Limping or stiffness after resting. Slow to rise from bed in the mornings.

🐾 Difficulty jumping onto furniture or climbing stairs.

🐾 Decreased activity and reluctance to play.

🐾 Changes in grooming habits (not cleaning or matting), particularly around painful areas.

🐾 Behavioral changes, such as increased irritability, hiding, sleeping more than normal, or not wanting to engage as much as before.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to contact us.

You can also take a quiz that will help assess your pet from the answers you provide.

This poor little lady was born on the streets. We estimate her to be about 7 weeks old. Currently, she’s a bit shy and timid, but she will definitely come out of her shell once she finds a home to call her own where she can relax, feel safe, and experience a life of love away from the streets.

🌩️ Thunderstorms Alert for Perth Pet Owners! 🌩️

As recent storms roll through Perth, it’s crucial to keep our furry friends safe and secure indoors.

Tips for Pet Safety During Storms:

⚡️ Keep Them Inside: Create a safe, cozy space for your pets away from windows.

⚡️ Update Microchip Info: Ensure your pet’s microchip details are up to date. This helps reunite you quickly if they get scared and run off.

⚡️ Calming Solutions: If your pet gets anxious during storms, we can help. Contact us on 08-92431997 should you need advice about possible calming medications to ease your pets stress.

Stay safe and remember, we’re here for you and your pets! 🌧️❤️

Did you know that maintaining good oral hygiene in our cats and dogs is crucial for their overall health? Just like humans, our pets can suffer from dental issues that can lead to more serious health problems if left untreated.

Why is Dental Health Important?

1. Prevents Pain and Discomfort: Dental disease can cause significant pain to your pets. Regular cleaning can prevent tooth decay and gum disease, ensuring they stay happy and comfortable.

2. Reduces Risk of Other Health Issues: Poor dental health can lead to infections that may spread to other parts of the body, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. Keeping their teeth clean can help prevent these serious conditions.

3. Improves Quality of Life: Healthy teeth and gums allow pets to eat properly and enjoy their food, contributing to their overall well-being and energy levels.

Did You Know? Just like humans, dogs and cats benefit from a yearly teeth cleaning too. 🐶🐱

Regular veterinary check-ups are essential. During these visits, our vet’s can assess your pet’s overall health including dental health and schedule to perform professional cleaning if necessary.
Call us on 08-92431997 if you’d like to book in your pets check up.

She has a yearly dental clean with us. Can you imagine how bad her teeth would be without that yearly dental clean 🙈

Meet Peanut 🥜 and Ginger 🫚 (Toy Poodle puppies)

The story of Peanut and Ginger began five weeks ago when their mother required an emergency cesarean to save her life and the lives of her puppies. She delivered four puppies via cesarean, but it was touch and go from the moment they arrived.

A lot of effort went into reviving them and ensuring they could breathe properly. They appeared to be about four to five days premature, which meant their lungs were underdeveloped. Oxygen therapy was necessary, and they struggled whenever taken out of the oxygen tent. Survival seemed impossible without constant oxygen support.

The decision was made to transport them and their mom to an emergency center for round-the-clock monitoring. Tragically, one puppy had to be humanely euthanized overnight, and another began to struggle. Additionally, their mother showed no interest in caring for them; she was scared and rejected them whenever they tried to feed. They were also not strong enough to latch.

The puppies required 24/7 intensive nursing care and tube feeding every 2 hours to ensure their survival. Therefore, the decision was made to let Kate take them for the weekend in an attempt to save them. Sadly, another pup passed away over that weekend, leaving only two survivors. They still needed continuous oxygen and tube feeding, so it was decided to surrender them to Kate for ongoing care.

On day nine, they started to show signs of improvement, attempting to suckle from a feeding bottle and maintaining oxygen saturation outside of the oxygen tent. By day ten, they were able to spend their first day out of the tent and solely rely on bottle feeds. Since then, they have been thriving, and at five weeks old today, they are starting to eat solid food occasionally.

We are incredibly happy and relieved that Peanut and Ginger have survived, thanks to the expertise of our team at Warwick Vets and the diligent nursing care provided by Kate.

While we know they are adorable, please refrain from offering adoption, as Peanut and Ginger already have loving homes waiting for them.
We just wanted to share their story as it is quite remarkable that they beat all odds and survived.

Positive Heartworm Case Reported in Perth!

We've received news of a confirmed heartworm case in an inner suburb of Perth. This serves as a crucial reminder that heartworm is not just a distant concern – it's right here in our community. The affected dog, who hasn't traveled outside the area, is now undergoing intensive treatment.

Given that heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, it's vital to stay extra vigilant with prevention measures for your furry companions. Luckily, there are numerous options available, including a convenient once-a-year injection administered by a vet. This eliminates the hassle of monthly preventatives and ensures your pet stays protected year-round.

If you need guidance or assistance selecting the right heartworm preventative for your dog, or you want to check if your dog up is up to date with heartworm prevention please call us on 08-92431997.

Poor Cleo came into the clinic today, unable to bear weight on her right hind leg. She was in quite a bit of pain when her toes were touched during examination. X-rays confirmed she has a displaced fracture of her distal metacarpal P4, a broken toe. Swipe to see X-ray…

We’ve splinted her leg with a beautifully padded bandage made by nurse Kate, which she’ll wear for the next 4 weeks.
Sending lots of love and hoping for a smooth healing process for Cleo!. 🐾❤️.

Heatwave in coming… be mindful with your beloved pets ☀️🥵

Gorgeous Rooney gained her wings today.
Unfortunately despite our very best efforts we could not save her.

Thank you to all who donated towards her care, it was so very appreciated.
Any funds left over will be used for another animal in need, because one will definitely come along…

Rooney was so loved by so many people and she knew she was. She went peacefully in Kate’s arms being told how very loved and special she was. 💔🌈 🥺

18/01/2024

Rooney Update ❤️

She is still bravely fighting to get better ❤️ Yesterday, she faced a tough day as her PCV dropped, causing anemia due to liver issues affecting her blood clotting. Thankfully, her foster brother Dearg stepped in as a hero, donating blood for Rooney’s transfusion.

We then took Rooney to Perth Vet specialists for an abdominal ultrasound, thankfully it revealed no remarkable issues. A plan was then made to insert a more permanent feeding tube into her esophagus. The current focus is on an intense refeeding plan to support her liver. This comes with risks, so daily monitoring of her blood results is crucial.

Rooney will continue her long-term medication to treat the infection and support her liver’s healing process, aiming to prevent future fibrosis.

We have been so overwhelmed with the donations and support coming our way for gorgeous Rooney.
Thank you for being part of Rooney’s fight.

16/01/2024

Update on Rooney:

Rooney is still bravely fighting, but her condition remains critical due to severe liver issues. While her demeanor has improved, recent blood tests show ongoing challenges. We consulted with a small animal internal medicine specialist who outlined a crucial treatment plan.

Since last Wednesday, our team of vets and Kate have been providing round-the-clock care to Rooney pro bono, helping manage costs. However, additional lab tests are necessary, escalating the bills.
We need your support to continue Rooney’s treatment and daily blood tests.

Your donations to our bank account (BSB: 036080, ACC: 699046) are crucial. Use Rooney as a reference.

Our dedication and compassion has kept costs lower, but we’re facing mounting expenses with her medications and blood tests.
Please share this post to help us reach more caring individuals.

Thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time. Every contribution makes a difference for Rooney’s recovery ❤️

13/01/2024

Today is forecasted to be 40+ degrees in Perth.
As the temperature rises, it’s crucial to be mindful of your pets in this weather.

Hot weather poses serious risks to pets, including heatstroke and burnt paws. If you must walk your dog go later this evening. The pavement can get scorching, so check the temperature with your hand before walks. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them.

It’s best to keep them inside in aircon today. If they can’t be inside make sure to provide plenty of shade and water.

Do not leave your dog in a parked car, even for a quick errand. The temperature is your car is much hotter than the temperature outside.

Meet Rooney ❤️

She was found barely alive in a remote community by the Tom Price police, and one of the officers took her in, nursing her back to life. Unfortunately, Rooney wasn’t meeting milestones as expected and was extremely underweight. A decision was made for a dingo rescue to get involved and fly Rooney to Perth. Upon arrival, it became evident that Rooney was sicker than initially thought.

Rooney went to WAVES for a work-up and treatment, with suspicion of a tickborne illness called Ehrlichia canis (E. canis). Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne infectious disease usually carried by the brown dog tick. Though common in the far north of Australia, there haven't been many reported cases in W.A., but unfortunately Rooney has turned out to be one of them.

She was transferred to us at Warwick Vet Hospital for hospitalization yesterday to continue treatment. Upon arrival, she was so lethargic & jaundiced. Her liver has been so badly affected by this disease. She was also nauseous and refusing to eat, essentially, starving herself to death.
This lead to us making the decision to place a nasogastric tube for precise feeding. Blood results from WAVES last night confirmed she's infected with Ehrlichia canis. Additional medication was started, she's receiving round-the-clock nursing care going home with Kate last night.
Today, she's brighter and showing some improvement.

We're doing everything possible to save her, and Dingo Rescue is urgently seeking funds to continue her treatment. They've initiated a GoFundMe page to support both WAVES and us. Please consider contributing to help Rooney's road to recovery.

You can also donate directly to our bank account details are below.

ACC: 699046

If you are not in the position to donate, please share this post far and wide to help get Rooney the care that she needs.
