❌❌ TICKS ❌❌
Although spring/summer is considered tick season, our pets can still get paralysis ticks in winter. This morning we removed this adult Ixodes Holocyclus, the tick species responsible for paralysis, from a local cat. This is not the first tick we have seen recently and we urge all pet owners to remain vigilant and protect their pets year round.
Paralysis ticks can be deadly to our beloved pets. Paralysis tick symptoms are most commonly:
🔹 Change in bark or meow
🔹 Wobbly back legs
🔹 Trouble breathing
🔹 Loss of appetite
🔹 Coughing, retching or vomiting
🔹 Excessive salivation
If you notice these symptoms or you find a tick on your pet you should call your vet immediately.
The best way to prevent tick paralysis is to keep up to date with an effective preventative.
If you are unsure of what product is best or you don't know when you pets last treatment was, come and see us and we will get you back up to speed and your pet protected!
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain and progressive degeneration of the joints. Studies estimate that 2 in 5 dogs show symptoms of arthritis at some time in their life, but unfortunately many dogs go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness. If your dog is "slowing down" or you want to more about how we can help, please call us on (02) 9489 4805.
Cats can develop arthritis at any age and new research has shown that nearly 40% of cats are affected by this condition at some point in their life, but with veterinary treatment it is possible to control their pain and improve the quality of their lives. 🐱
