Gorgeous Daphne after her spay operation. The flower contraption is an alternate to an elizabethen collar - much more comfortable and attractive! The photo bomber in the background (Charlotte) doesn't look pleased to be sharing her bed.

Please read this important update on Homesafe microchips. If you are unsure what your dog or cat’s chip number is, please call us on 93853577 or email us at [email protected]

Earlier this week we advised pet owners who have microchips registered with HomeSafe ID that they should act immediately to register their pet with a new database.

Global Micro Animal Registry is offering free re-registration to affected pet owners - https://www.globalmicro.com.au/homesafe-re-registration/

It appears HomeSafe ID are closing their website, which means you, the ranger and vet will no longer have access to your pet's information if needed.

Further advice for impacted consumers:
🐶Review the certificate you received when your pet was first registered, as this will display the microchip registration number and which database they are registered in.
🐶 If you're unsure - search petaddress.com.au using the microchip number to check which database they are registered in.
🐱 If you're unable to find the certificate - visit your local vet, who will be able to scan your animal and provide you with the microchip number and advise you of the database holding those details.
🐱 If the pet is registered with HomeSafe ID or Pet Electronic Tags (P.E.T.S) Pty Ltd, the microchip will need to be registered again with a new registration service.
🐱 People with rescue pets are particularly encouraged to check who they are registered with.

Gorgeous Lexi's owner noticed that whe was a bit snuffly so took a closer look at her nose. They noticed something poking out of her nose and managed to remove a rather large piece of grass!! Remarkable!

SCAM ALERT!
We have become aware of a scam that is now targeting pet owners.
This scam has been circulating internationally for a while and has now hit Australia.
A company called “Petchip” sends an email informing you, your pet’s microchip is expiring, and a fee needs to be paid otherwise they will become unregistered.
If you receive this email, please do not pay any fees, feel free to call us for confirmation of you pets microchip details.
If you have registered your pet’s microchip, this is for life. Pet registration with your local council is different to microchip registration.

With the hot and humid weather, please take care special care of your pets.
Do NOT exercise your dog in hot and humid conditions - they sometimes wont tell you they've had enough until it's too late!
Do NOT leave the dog in the car!
Be mindful of HOT footpaths or surfaces when walking!
Be sure the cat isn't going to get LOCKED in a shed or hot space they cannot get out of!
Ensure plenty of FRESH water is available at all times!
Unlike humans, dogs and cats cannot sweat through their skin. They rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and nose to regulate their body temperature. If they cannot cool down, they will quickly develop heatstroke.

Is desensitising your dog to bee venom worth it??
Aurora says YES! Aurora suffered from multiple bee stings on separate occasions. When stung she would collapse, start vomiting and required treatment at the nearest emergency vet centre. She was anaphylactic to bee venom and the only way to ensure that a bee sting was not going to kill her in the future was to refer her to a specialist for desensitisation. A few weeks ago, Aurora suffered another bee sting but her reaction was vastly different! It still hurts but she showed no signs of anaphylaxis (no collapse or vomiting). A wonderful outcome for Aurora and her owners.

Gorgeous Etsi visited us to find out why she was lame on her right front leg for the past few months. Unfortunately, Etsi gets very worried coming to the vet, so we had to work with her to manage her anxiety as well as trying to diagnose the cause of her pain. We found a lytic lesion in her 2nd digit and made the difficult decision to amputate the toe. Histopathology confirmed the lesion was a malignant subungual squamous cell carcinoma. Removal of the tumour was complete and her prognosis is good. Etsi was incredibly brave and is now pain free. She visited us the other day and her dedicated owner reported she was "back to her old self". These are the cases that make our day and remind us why we do what we do! 💗🥹🤩

We've had a run on sore eyes lately. Eyes can get ugly quickly so if in doubt with an eye, a vet check is always best! As GP's, we put our opthalmolgy hat on and we sort out the issue but on the odd occasion, a specialist is indicated and we send the offending eye off for top notch care by vets who specialise in eyes only. We always want the best for out patients.
