📢📢📢📢 HEARTWORM - The Silent Disease!

Did you know?
- Heartworm IS IN VICTORIA. It is not only present in the warmer climates.
- Your pet may not show any clinical symptoms but they might have heartworm.
- Treatment includes 12-months of cage rest! Along with multiple procedures, tests, diagnostics, ongoing medications and hospital stays!
- It takes 180 days for the test to show a positive result. That's 180 days the heartworm can be harming your pet!
- There is a simple, effective annual injection available to prevent your pet from getting heartworm.

What is heartworm?
- Heartworm disease is caused by a blood parasite that is spread by mosquitoes.
- Once infected, these nasty parasites obstruct the flow of blood to the heart affecting the rest of the body.
- By the time heartworms reach the lungs, they are mature and can grow as long as 14 inches.

Signs of heartworm disease in dogs include:
These symptoms are often subtle and hard to detect, so prevention is the best option.
- Coughing
- Unwillingness to exercise
- Shortness of breath
- Weight loss
- Fever
- Abdominal swelling.

This disease is potentially fatal yet completely preventable!

🎄🐾 Helping Pets Stay Calm This Festive Season 🐕❤️🐈

The holiday season is filled with joy, but it can also bring stress for our furry friends. From loud New Year fireworks to the hustle and bustle of holiday gatherings, pets can feel overwhelmed.

Here are some tips to ease their anxiety:
🛋️ Create a safe space: Set up a quiet, cozy area for your pet to retreat to.
🎶 Soothing sounds: Play calming music or white noise to mask loud noises.
🐾 Stick to routines: Maintain feeding and exercise schedules to give your pet a sense of normalcy.
💊 Ask for help: If your pet needs extra support, talk to us about calming supplements, pheromone products, or medications.

Remember, furry friends, no nibbling on those tempting human treats this Christmas!
As much as we enjoy letting the animals get involved with the festive fun, we need to be mindful of what we are feeding them.
A lot of human food can be harmful to our pets and the last thing we want is for your Christmas activities to end in a vet clinic. 😿

- Chocolate
- Peppermint
- Gingerbread
- Macadamia nuts
- Onion
- Garlic
- Mashed potato
- Grapes and raisins
- Alcohol
- Xylitol
- Bones
- Ham or pork (a tiny nibble is ok but nothing more)
- Christmas pudding
- Fat trimmings
- Christmas decorations

Good 👍
- Carrots
- Pumpkin
- Banana
- Baked salmon
- Baked chicken
- Peanut butter
- Sweet potato

⏰ Eskimo Joes' Reminder!! ⏰

Before the Christmas and New Year period really takes off and we go into relaxation mode, GET YOUR PETS MICROCHIP DETAILS CHECKED!

Microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate.
This is so important over the holidays especially if people are travelling with their pets or of there are people coming and going from your home - the chance of your pet escaping is much higher!
Don't hesitate, head into Seymour, Nagambie or Euroa Central Vets today and get your precious pets microchipped checked or book in with one of our registered Veterinary Nurses to get your fur baby microchipped!
