Many of you are familiar with her bright, bubbly self, greeting you as you walk in the door. She has brought so much laughter and light to our practice over the years and now we have to say farewell.

HEATSTROKE!!!This is an emergency and life-threatening condition. We have seen a number of cases over the past couple of weeks. Even if it's overcast, late evening or early morning, high humidity and high temperatures are just as dangerous.

Dogs can't cool down as easily as us, they can't sweat. Dogs regulate their body temperatures by panting and releasing heat through their paw pads. So, walking them or taking them on your early morning run is not ideal and can increase their temperature as they are absorbing heat from the cement/ground as well as breathing in hot air. If you go to the beach and you can't walk barefoot on the sand, neither can your dog! Despite the sun setting late and the afternoons extended light time, you should avoid walking or exercising your dog for several hours after the sun has gone down or if temperatures exceed 30 degrees. They should also not be on the back of the Ute or left in cars without air-conditioning on.

Your dogs (and other pets) NEED to have fresh, cool water available – some might like to lay in a small pool if you have the means to facilitate this. Shade is a MUST and if it is within your means, bring them inside in the air conditioning.

Brachycephallic breeds are also more susceptible to heat stress. So those with Frenchies, Staffy's, Pug's and Bulldogs etc. should take extra care.

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke, please call us first before trying to cool them down, because some methods can make the condition worse.

Clinically, what we see:
Excessive panting
- Body temps >40’C
- Inability to move (collapse)
- Seizures
- Prolonged coagulation times

PLEASE make sure your pets are safe during this time of year. Before you venture out consider how hot you are, knowing your pet will be hotter and unable to cool itself down like you can.

I’VE FOUND A BABY BIRD, WHAT DO I DO?
It’s not uncommon to come across small baby birds on the ground during spring. In most cases, these fledgling birds are being closely monitored by their nearby parents. This is a normal process as the young birds learn how to take flight. In some instances, the baby bird may be in danger or may be injured and genuinely needs your help. But how can you tell when to intervene and when to leave the baby bird?
If the bird has its flight feathers, then it is a fledgling. Before rescuing a fledgling, ask yourself:
• Is the bird calling or making a noise?
• Is the bird bright and responsive?
• Can the bird perch on your finger?
• Can the bird spread its wings evenly and flutter to the ground when encouraged to fly?
If the answer to all these questions is a definite “yes” then the baby bird should be able to be reunited with its parents. It is best for a baby bird to be reunited with its parents, as they’re the best teachers for their young.
If “No” then please call 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625) for advice. The RSPCA Team can help you with the next steps when you’ve found a baby bird.
If the bird is injured, please keep warm and take to your nearest vet clinic so a vet can treat accordingly.

It's that time of year again! Please keep an eye on you pets for signs of heatsroke

Two dogs in two days lost to heatstroke and they were on morning walks!
Heatstroke! We’re not going to sugar coat this. You will not see the signs until it is too late!
This is an emergency and life-threatening condition. We have had several heatstroke calls in the past week alone and unfortunately for some, they didn’t make it. There is no guarantee that your beloved furry family member will pull through as they literally cook from the inside out and so owners aren’t aware they are suffering until it is already too late.
They don't cool down as easily as us and unlike us they can’t just take their coat off or sweat it out! Dogs regulate their body temperatures by panting and releasing heat through their paw pads and as a consequence, there aren’t a great deal of options for your pet if you’re walking them on hot cement and the days temperatures are already high. Despite the sun setting late and the afternoons extended light time, dogs shouldn’t be walking or exercising for several hours after the night has set in or after the sun is up in the morning. They should also not be on the back of the ute or left in cars without air-conditioning on.
Your dogs (and other pets) NEED to have fresh, cool water available – some might like to lay in a small pool if you have the means to facilitate this. Shade is a MUST and if it is within your means, bring them inside in the air conditioning.
Brachycephallic breeds are also more susceptible to heat stress. So those with Frenchies, Staffy's, Pug's and Bulldogs etc should be taking extra care during the sweaty season.
Clinically, what we see:
Excessive panting
- Body temps >40’C
- Inability to move (collapse)
- Seizures
- Prolonged coagulation times

PLEASE, we are begging you, make sure your pets are safe during this time of year.
