Did you know that just like human children, puppies will shed their baby teeth and grow a whole new set of adult chompers? 🦷

Puppies normally shed their baby teeth between 4-6 months old, and by 7 months of age, all their adult teeth should have erupted. If your pup still has any baby teeth remaining at this time, these teeth could be abnormally “retained” (stuck), which can lead to painful crowding issues. 🐕

If you’re unsure about your pup’s dental health, we’d recommend booking a check-up with one of our dentally-diligent vets! 🩺

24/08/2024

UPDATE - the little dog has been reunited with their family ☺️❤️

FOUND DOG 💔

We have had a little dog handed into the clinic this morning, may have got out during the bad weather overnight/early hours this morning.

A little Shih Tzu x Poodle looking little dog was found in Southern River. We have tried to contact the owners on the microchip but no answer. We would like to return her to her family asap.

If you have lost your little dog, please call the clinic on 9456 0222 to see if it’s your missing furbaby.

Did you know that “cat flu” is not one specific infection, but instead refers to the upper respiratory symptoms caused by a few common feline viruses and bacteria? 🦠

As well as cold-like symptoms (such as red, runny eyes and nasal discharge), affected cats may also develop a fever, breathing troubles, or ulcers in the mouth or eyes. 🐾

The good news? Cats can be vaccinated against some of the most common causes of cat flu, thereby lessening their unwellness should they be exposed! 😺

Phone our team for personalised recommendations on the safest disease protection options for your pet. 📞

19/08/2024

Whilst an energetic game of laser light chasing can be entertaining for both you and your cat, these toys should be used judiciously to avoid causing harm. 🔦

Ensure that you never shine the light directly into your pet’s eyes, and try to avoid using it in a way that pushes your cat beyond their fitness level. 🐈

It’s also a good idea to use pointers in moderation, and ensure you finish games by offering your pet something to finally “catch” (such as a favourite toy or treat) to avoid frustration or the development of obsessive behaviours. 🎾

For more information on safe feline environmental enrichment options, consult our feline-friendly team.

* FOUND * Budgie found in Canning Vale on 13.8.24. Please call us with colour as proof of ID.

14/08/2024

Deer antlers have become a popular long-lasting chew treat, but we usually caution owners against offering them to their pets. 🦌

Because deer antlers are particularly hard and unyielding, it’s not uncommon for dogs (especially young puppies with thin-walled baby teeth) to break their teeth when trying to chew on them. 🦷

Broken teeth are painful and can also develop tooth root infections (requiring surgical treatment) or even act as an entry point for dangerous tetanus bacteria. 🩹

For recommendations on the best chew treat options for your pet, consult our safety-savvy team!

12/08/2024

* FOUND *
Cockatiel (weiro) found in Thornlie on Sun 11.8.24. Please call us if you have lost your bird on 9456-0222. Describe the colour to claim. 🐦

Whilst dental disease is one of the most common causes of pongy breath in pets, our team also considers other potential issues when faced with a particularly smelly canine or feline oral cavity. 🐶🐱

These include:
🦷 Pieces of bone or clumps of fur stuck in between the teeth
🦷 Lumps in the mouth
🦷 Mouth injuries caused by licking a caustic substance or chewing an electrical cord
🦷 Internal health issues such as kidney disease

So, if you notice that your pet’s breath is getting a bit whiffy, it’s best to book them in for a prompt veterinary check-up! 🏥

09/08/2024

⚠️ Parvo cases ⚠️

We just wanted to update our community and caution owners about Parvovirus.

There have been some recent cases of this potentially fatal virus going around. So we would like urge pet owners to check that their canine family members are up to date with parvovirus vaccination.

If you would like to check your dog’s vaccine status, give the clinic a call and one of our helpful nurses can look up their history for you.

With daily brushing being the gold standard in canine oral health care, our team would love to pass on a few tips to help make brushing your pet’s teeth more approachable:
1️⃣ Ensure that your pet’s mouth isn’t sore before starting to brush, or else they’ll naturally resist the process – book them in for a dental check-up with our vets if you’re unsure.
2️⃣ Ease your pet into brush-training by starting with some dry medical gauze wrapped over your finger. 🦷🪥
3️⃣ Don’t forget to offer your pet regular tasty bribes throughout! 🍖

For more advice on keeping your pet’s teeth in tip-top shape, chat to our helpful team. And if you have a great photo of your dog flashing their pearly whites, please post it below!

05/08/2024

The first question many owners ask us about dental extractions in their pet is, “Will they still be able to eat properly?”

Firstly, remember that adult dogs have 42 permanent teeth whilst cats have 30, so your pet definitely has a few back-up chompers! 🐾

Secondly, extraction is only recommended for very abnormal or irreparably damaged teeth, which your pet is likely avoiding chewing with anyway. It’s very common for owners to notice their pet actually eating more comfortably after the removal of such teeth! 🦷

For more bites of information about pet dentistry, contact our knowledgeable team. 📞

* UPDATE : Darcy has found his Furever Home 😻 *

* Beautiful boy looking for a new home ❤️ *

Darcy is a friendly, playful 10wk old boy looking for his furever home. He would love a pet sibling to play with and snuggle up to at night and would be great with primary aged children and older.

Darcy will be microchipped, vaccinated and wormed before going to his new home. He will need to be brought back in a few months to be sterilised.

If you would like to meet Darcy and discuss the adoption process, come down and speak to one of our lovely nurses or call 9456-0222.

24/07/2024

* UPDATE : Coco has been rehomed *

" Looking For a Home "

Beautiful Coco is looking for her furever home ❤️. She is approximately 12mths old, sterilised, microchipped and will receive a vaccination before she goes to her new home.

Coco has an assertive personality and would suit either a single pet household or with a pet sibling who is easy going and placid. With slow introduction to other pets, she should settle into a new home well. She loves to sit on your lap and is happy to be picked up and carried around.

Coco loves playing with ping pong balls and would suit a home with primary school aged and older children.

If you would like to discuss her adoption process, please call us on 9456-0222.

Old dogs require old-dog nutrition. 🐶🍽️ Nutritional requirements change as our dogs age. A puppy’s diet should be quite different from an old dog’s, as they have different energy, fibre and nutrient needs.

We strongly recommend feeding older dogs a specifically formulated food that addresses the unique nutritional needs of an older animal. This includes increased fibre, decreased calories, and increased supplementation of fatty acids. If you’re unsure what to feed your dog, contact us for advice. 📞🐾

22/07/2024

Blood pressure checks are important for old cats. 🐱💉 Just like humans, cats can experience blood pressure issues as they age. While the causes for these issues are often different from humans', the effects can be just as dangerous. Uncontrolled hypertension (or high blood pressure) can wreak havoc on the body and increase the risk of death.

We recommend six monthly blood pressure checks for older cats as part of their physical check-up. This way, we can pick up issues early and initiate treatment if required. 🩺🐾

17/07/2024

As winter’s chill truly bites, we often find creative ways to stay warm. ❄️ Our pets are no different and love to stay cosy over winter.

Post a picture below of your pets keeping toasty this cold season. Bonus points if they love to snuggle together! 🐾📸🐱

If your cat suddenly starts limping one day, you’ll probably want to know why. 🐱❓

Cats can limp for a variety of reasons, including acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) conditions. For acute reasons, limping could be caused by an abscess, other infection, trauma, cancer, or inflammation. Sometimes, limping is caused by an acute flare-up of a chronic condition (e.g. arthritis).

Ultimately, the only way to know for sure and treat the limping is to see the veterinarian. 🩺 So don’t ignore your cat’s limp; see your vet if you spot any symptoms. 🐾

10/07/2024

Don’t take the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” too literally. All dogs should engage in training, exercise, and other environmental enrichment activities throughout their lives to keep their brains healthy and strong. 🐾 Just like humans are told to “use or lose” their brain power, the same concept applies to dogs. Daily walks where dogs can sniff, explore, and socialise, as well as puzzle toys and training, can help keep a dog’s mind sharp as they age and stave off doggy dementia. 🐕‍🦺🧩

08/07/2024

Any eye changes in pets should be checked by the vet, as they can be a sign of serious disease.

However, some eye changes are considered normal, so knowing what is a normal eye change and what is not is essential. For example, as dogs get older, they often acquire a blueish, transparent haze to their eyes. 🐕👀 This is called nuclear sclerosis. It affects the lens of the eye and is often associated with reduced vision. As a rule, we always recommend older dogs get checked every six months to ensure changes are age-related and not disease-related. 🩺🐶

03/07/2024

Don’t let cats fool you – they can suffer the effects of arthritis, too. 🐱

Cats are masters of hiding disease. When we recognise something isn’t right in our cats, a disease is often quite advanced. So, it pays to look for the subtle signs.

For arthritis, symptoms in cats include decreased movement, such as sleeping more, reluctance to jump up or jump down, and increased grumpiness. 😾 Remember, aging is not a disease, so if your cat’s behaviour has changed recently, make an appointment with one of our vets. 🐾

01/07/2024

Do you have a dog with arthritis? Over the winter months, arthritis can often flare up causing increased pain, reduced mobility, and an all-around sad dog. 🐶

The good news is, there are plenty of things we can do to help arthritis. One of those is a course of under-the-skin injections that help improve diseased joints without putting stress on your dog’s other organs. 🐾

If you would like to learn more about how we can help your dog’s arthritis, contact us today. Let’s improve your dog’s arthritis symptoms together! 🌟

Did you know that monitoring an older cat’s weight is one simple way of keeping an eye on their general health?
Unexpected weight loss can happen secondary to some health conditions that are more common in older cats, such as chronic kidney disease, an overactive thyroid, or gut disease, and may be one of the first symptoms noted.
We recommend that cats eight years of age and older undergo a full health assessment (including a weigh-in and body condition check) every 6-12 months. Depending on your pet’s recent history, we may also recommend blood and urine tests too.

Colitis refers to inflammation of the large bowel, which can lead to symptoms such as increased defecation frequency and urgency, straining, and loose stools (which may contain blood or mucus).
If your pet suffers from a sudden bout of colitis, you can try temporarily offering them an easily digestible diet (e.g. cooked skinless chicken breast or springwater tuna, plus cooked pumpkin).
However, if their symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, or they show other signs of unwellness such as lethargy or vomiting, we’d recommend a prompt check-up with our tummy-taming vets🚨🐶!

22/06/2024

Update:
🥳 Power has been restored 🥳
Thank you for your patience. Phone lines are working once again. We are open until 5pm today and our nurses are able to answer your calls once again

⚠️ POWER OUTAGE ⚠️

We promise we haven’t slept in. Unfortunately there is a power outage here at the clinic. We are trying to resolve this as soon as possible so we can help you with your pets needs. We will keep you updated on this and let you know when we are back to normal.

You can message our FB page if needed in the meantime

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and patience.

19/06/2024

Have you heard of splenic tumours? These are tumours that can grow on the spleen of dogs, and may or may not spread to other organs.
Splenic tumours can sometimes be found incidentally on physical examination (if they are large enough in size) but affected pets may also present as a sudden emergency case if a previously undetected tumour ruptures and begins bleeding into their belly.
As older pets are more prone to this issue, we recommend a full physical check-up every 6-12 months for all dogs eight years of age and older.
For more information on older pet health checks, consult our elderly-pet educated team🐕👴!

17/06/2024

Did you know that paracetamol is poisonous to cats?
Unlike humans, cats are unable to properly metabolise this drug, leading to the production of toxic by-products that can cause potentially fatal damage to their liver and red blood cells.
It’s important to never administer paracetamol to your cat, even if they seem in pain. If you ever suspect your pet to have accidentally eaten paracetamol, please phone our hospital or the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately for further advice ☎🆘.
To ensure the safest healthcare for your four-legged friend, always consult our helpful team!

12/06/2024

Whilst NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as carprofen and meloxicam can be great for relieving inflammatory pain in pets, they should still be used with caution.
NSAIDs should only be administered to pets who are well-hydrated and in reasonable general organ health. If used inappropriately or at excessive doses, NSAIDs can unfortunately cause damage to the kidneys or liver. They may also cause gut irritation, particularly in pets with “sensitive tummies” or when used for longer periods.
For advice on the safe use of NSAIDs in your pet, please consult our pharmacologically-proficient vets 🏥💊.

10/06/2024

Whilst monitoring a dog’s poo is no-one’s favourite pastime, it can be a great simple indicator of a pet’s general health.
A bout of pet diarrhoea is generally not an emergency, but we’d advise a prompt check-up if your pet is also becoming lethargic or weak 🐶💤, or if they are passing blood or losing large volumes of fluid💧. Additionally, it’s also a good idea to have young puppies and kittens or older pets with pre-existing health issues assessed quickly.
When it comes to supporting pet gastrointestinal health, our team can do you a solid!

We have had this handsome cat handed into the clinic.
The details on the microchip are not up to date and we are hoping to reunite this sweet baby with their owners.
Trying to get a still photo is hard because he just wants to get chin scratches and love.
Location found, Canning Vale.

Proof of ownership will be required.

If this is your cat or you know the owner, please call the clinic on 9456 0222 or come down and speak to one of our nurses. The clinic will be open until 5pm today otherwise 9am-12pm tomorrow (Sunday).
