Whilst off-leash dog areas can be a great way to provide your pet with free exercise and playtime, they can also pose some risks to your pet’s safety. 🐕

🎄 DOUBLE TROUBLE 🎄

So this is how your wrangle a cat to take their temperature?! 🤭

Elfies showing us how it’s done.

What will they get up to next?

09/12/2024

Any pet out and about in the summer heat and/or humidity can be at risk of developing dangerous heatstroke. Particularly prone are those pets with breathing compromise (e.g. flatter-faced breeds such as bulldogs) or very thick coats (such as golden retrievers). ☀️

If your pet is drooling excessively or looks weak or wobbly, it’s best to wet them down and then transport them in an air-conditioned vehicle for an urgent assessment with our experienced vets. 🚗🐶

04/12/2024

Look what we found Elfie doing today! 🎄

Elfie does a dog dental. We are not sure where he went to Vet School, but maybe they get comprehensive training at the North Pole so they know how to treat all of Santa’s reindeer. 🎅

If you and your pet will be visiting the beach or another waterway this summer, we’d advise keeping them by your side so that you can keep an eye out for wayward fish hooks. 🏖️

Unfortunately, fish hooks (with remnants of bait on them) are sometimes left scattered around popular fishing areas, and are then unintentionally snatched up by greedy pets. 🐟🐕

If you suspect your pet may have unfortunately “taken the bait”, we’d recommend a prompt assessment with one of our vets.

03/12/2024

It’s that time of year! 🎄

During summer, we see a “step up” in the number of pet paw pad injuries. 🐾

If you note a scrape-like abrasion on your dog’s paw, you can usually manage this at home by: Limiting them to very short walks on soft dry ground for 10-14 days, to allow the injury to heal. For toileting in wet weather, temporarily taping a thick plastic bag over your pet’s entire paw to keep the wound clean and dry – just ensure you remove this promptly afterwards to prevent the paw from becoming sweaty and irritated. ☔

However, if your pet’s paw injury is a deeper cut that may require stitching, we’d advise a prompt check-up with one of our pawsome vets. 🩹

Planning is key to a successful boarding stay. If you’re planning to leave your anxious dog at a boarding kennel, it’s important to ensure they have what they need to make their stay successful. 🐕

Inform your kennel ahead of time of their needs, and ensure you supply enough medication (if they are medicated) to last the duration of the stay. 💊 Always provide several emergency contacts including veterinarian details. It’s worth considering alternatives to boarding also, if you don’t think your dog will cope well.

25/11/2024

If you’ve recently gotten a puppy, you might have wondered if they can go into boarding kennels when you go away.

Boarding kennels might not be the best option for young puppies. 🐶 All dogs should be appropriately vaccinated prior to going into kennels, so that means puppies under 4 months of age might not be fully vaccinated yet.

Additionally, puppies can have high needs, so might require more hands-on support than is traditionally provided at many kennels. Other options include full-time pet sitters or relatives and friends. 🏡

21/11/2024

Due to the rise in cases of parvovirus across Australia, the AVA is reminding owners to make sure their dogs are up-to-date with their vaccinations to protect them from the highly contagious and potentially fatal disease.

All puppies from six weeks of age should be vaccinated against parvovirus and other canine diseases. Follow-up vaccinations are also required, and your local veterinarians can advise on the best type of protection for your area.

If you are unsure of your pet’s vaccination status you should contact your veterinarian for advice.

20/11/2024

If you’re planning to go away this summer, it’s important to plan how your dog will get vet care while you’re away. 🌞

If you’re taking them with you, ensure you have enough medication to last while you’re away and look up your closest veterinary clinic, particularly for after-hours care. 🐕

If they are staying home, ensure their caregiver knows who your vet is (both in-hours and after-hours) and how they will pay for treatment if you cannot be contacted.

18/11/2024

It can be difficult to medicate a cat. 🐾 However, these days, when it comes to anti-parasitic treatments, there are so many options that even the fussiest cat can tolerate.

It’s important your cat has protection against fleas, worms and ticks year-round if they go outside (even on a leash). 🌳 If they’re indoors only, they still require treatment against worms and fleas, however often at a reduced frequency.

Contact the clinic if you aren’t sure what your cat needs.

❗️PARALYSIS TICKS ❗️

Brisbane has wonderful weather for troublesome ticks which means that “tick season” can last all year round. We have seen some recent tick paralysis cases, and implore all pet owners to be vigilant in tick prevention measures.

📸 Pictured is a paralysis tick that was removed from a patient.

Signs of paralysis tick toxicity include:
✅ wobbly legs
✅ difficulty swallowing
✅ difficulty breathing
✅ change in bark/meow

If ticks attach near the eyes, they can cause localised paralysis leading to poor blinking ability and consequent corneal ulceration or trauma.

Paralysis tick toxicity causes serious and potentially fatal disease in pets. Prevention is best! Use efficacious products and search your pets daily.

Not sure which product is best for your pet? Ask our friendly team.

13/11/2024

If you’re planning on putting your dog in boarding these holidays, it’s important their annual vaccinations are up to date. 🐕

Most kennels will require proof of a C5 vaccination in the past 12 months to be accepted for boarding. However, if you really want to ensure your dog is protected, they need to have the vaccine booster at least 2 weeks prior to boarding, to ensure maximum immunity.

Contact the clinic today if you need your dog’s vaccines boosted. 🏥

We couldn’t find Elfie! But it’s ok, he was helping us eat some sweet treats! #elfontheshelf #christmas #albertanimalhospital

The 2025 Calendars have arrived! #albertanimalhospitalcalendars #albertanimalhospital

Elfie was in an accident - hit by Santa’s sleigh! He may have ruptured his spleen, but we are happy to report that he is recovering well on IV fluids. Be safe out there - look both ways in case of sleighs! *nobody was harmed in the making of this film* #adventuresofelfie #elfontheshelf #christmas #albertanimalhospital

This little cutie fell out of his nest and was not able to put back in. Thanks to the good samaritans who brought him in to be checked over by our staff. He will be passed into the excellent hands of the RSPCA wildlife carers. If a baby bird does fall out of nest and has flight feathers, it is possible to reunite them with their parents. Take a look at some tips from the RSPCA https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/blog/fact-check/baby-bird-season
