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.

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. 🏥

‼️ CANINE PARVOVIRUS OUTBREAK ‼️

Animal Welfare League Queensland is issuing a critical alert to pet owners in South East Queensland regarding a significant outbreak of canine parvovirus (CPV) affecting the region.

Canine parvovirus - words that Veterinarians dread! Commonly called "Parvo", this virus attacks the small intestinal lining causing bloody diarrhoea. It is highly contagious and potentially fatal.

Please ensure that your dog is currently vaccinated for Parvo to prevent this serious disease.

One of the most common infectious diseases in cats is called ‘cat flu’.

Just like the flu in humans, cat flu can be caused by several different viruses, including calicivirus and herpesvirus. 🤒 While often self-limiting, it can cause severe disease in some cats. If your cat develops a persistent cough, heavy nasal discharge, ulcers of the mouth or nose, inappetence or has difficulty breathing, they should see a vet. Treatments are available to reduce symptoms. 🐾

When going away on holidays, it can be difficult to know what’s the best option for your cat. Should you book a pet sitter, or should you take them to a cattery? 🐱

When trying to decide, take into account your individual cat’s needs and personality. If they have medical conditions or are elderly, they might require additional care. 💼 Never leave your cats unattended for extended periods of time.

If you’re unsure what’s best for your cat, our team would be happy to guide you.

Whether your dog loves going for a drive or not, it’s important to always prioritise safety. 🐕‍🦺

Dogs should be secured in the rear of the car, using either a car harness and tether or a travel crate. This is because in an accident, dogs could become airborne and risk serious injury to themselves and others in the car. 🚗

If travelling in a ute, ensure dogs are tethered appropriately to the middle of the tray so they cannot fall off the sides. Never leave a dog in a hot car.

🕸🕷🧛🏽‍♀️🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 🧛🏽‍♀️🕷🕸

Stay safe during Halloween celebrations tonight!

Remember to keep chocolates and lollies away from pets as they can be toxic if ingested.

Find a safe place for pets to hide away so they are not disturbed by the trick-or-treaters.

Do you celebrate Halloween? Show us some photos.

Have fun! 🎃

🎃 PET SAFE HALLOWEEN TIP NO. 5 🎃

🎃 Sweet treats
You may have stocked up on delicious lollies and chocolates for the trick-or-treaters, but lollies and chocolates can be very toxic to pets. Chocolate contains theobromine which can cause gastroenteritis and heart problems. Some lollies may contain xylitol, a sugar replacement, which is very toxic to dogs. Xylitol causes hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar levels), vomiting, weakness, seizures and possibly death. Please keep all human treats away from your four-legged friends.

With a bit of planning and consideration for your pet’s needs, any special event can be enjoyed stress-free.

Be safe and have a Happy Halloween!

🎃 PET SAFE HALLOWEEN TIP NO. 4 🎃

🎃 Costumes
Pet Halloween costumes may look cute, but in reality many pets don’t actually like wearing costumes. To keep stress to a minimum, it is best to allow your pet to get used to their outfit over time. The costume should be safe and comfortable and should not interfere with how you pet can move, breathe, hear and see. If your pet shows signs of stress with their costumes, perhaps just leave the Halloween outfits for the humans.

With a bit of planning and consideration for your pet’s needs, any special event can be enjoyed stress-free.

Be safe and have a Happy Halloween!

🎃 PET SAFE HALLOWEEN TIP NO. 3 🎃

🎃 Candles

When young children and cats need to share the same space, we recommend a few safety measures to help ensure the enjoyment and comfort of both parties.

Firstly, children below seven years of age should be supervised with cats, as they cannot always reliably read feline body language to know when the cat’s had enough!

Secondly, we advise that every cat living with children has at least one child-free retreat zone (such as an elevated bed or a room cordoned off by a baby-gate) where they can hide if they are feeling overwhelmed.

With the right prep, cats and children can become purr-fect friends! 😻🧒

🎃 PET SAFE HALLOWEEN TIP NO. 2 🎃

🎃 Identification
Ensure that your pet is wearing a collar with identification and that their microchip details are up to date, just in case they do get out during the festivities.

With a bit of planning and consideration for your pet’s needs, any special event can be enjoyed stress-free.

Be safe and have a Happy Halloween!

Whilst choke chains and prong collars are occasionally still used for helping to control strong or excitable dogs, we strongly advise against their use. ⚠️

These types of collars can potentially cause permanent damage to the windpipe or the soft tissues around the neck, not to mention being painful for the dog.

Instead, we recommend training your pet with gentle walking aids, such as humane headcollars. For recommendations on humane walking devices and positive method trainers who can help guide you and your dog to calmer walks, please contact our knowledgeable team. 🐕

Whilst desexing your cat has numerous health and behavioural benefits, it’s good to be aware that this procedure will also usually slow your pet’s metabolism slightly in the long-term.

To prevent your cat gaining unhealthy weight at maturity, we’d recommend the following:
Switching adult cats to a complete and balanced diet designed to control their weight – ask our team for recommendations if you’re unsure
Encouraging your cat to exercise daily through outdoors exploration time or indoor play with toys 🎾

For more advice on assessing and supporting your cat’s body condition, consult our health-happy vets! 🐾
