The story of Tucson and how he came to us
You may have seen many posts recently about our 4 kittens, their growth and how we have 1 left looking for a home.
Well believe it or not we originally had 3 kittens, all dumped by mum at 2 days of age and needed to be bottle-fed by our wonderful nurse Fiona. 4 weeks on, on a busy Tuesday morning we had a phone call from the fire brigade, a young man driving a Hyundai Tucson from Revesby to Menai had pulled over because his engine was making a strange sound. He pulled over, popped the hood and discovered his engine was purring. A rescue mission ensued from our local fires and Tucson emerged from the engine. Amazingly all he had to show for his ordeal was a bit of engine great, no scrapes, no cuts, no brakes, and yes he was in the engine while the car was driving. After checking for a microchip and realising he did not have an owner, we estimated that he was roughly 2 weeks older than our current 3 bottle babies, so figured there were already 3 why not have 4? We put him in and he hit it off with the other straight away, they were best friends and he was nicknamed Tucson. 4 weeks later our original 3 have found a home but our little sweet boy is still here, he is loving, playing full and has a massive personality and we just want the best life for him.
We received the most beautiful testimonial from a client recently regarding her pet Bonnie and her journey receiving an arthramid injection for her arthritis. Have a read of Bonnie’s story.
I am delighted to share my experiences with Arthramid.
Before the treatment my West highland Terrier Bonnie was struggling with chronic health due to the arthritis in both her back legs.
The Arthritis was slowly robbing her of the things she enjoyed the most, and was affecting her overall well being.
The first sign we had that anything was amiss, was when she began to show signs after walking any distance, She loved nothing more than chasing her favourite pink toy after each walk, however over time she began to show little or no interest.
Although she had previously been diagnosed with arthritis in both legs, she was displaying no signs that it was impacting on her quality of life.
However, all that changed early 2023, when she began to limp after each walk and it was evident that she was in pain. A trip to the Vet resulted in the diagnosis that she required surgery. Given her age at the time ( 12 years old) we were reluctant to have her endure both the surgery and the long recovery period. It was then that Arthramid was suggested by Nurse Brit.
Although we were sceptical, we thought it was worth trying to treat her conservatively. The results for our girl were more than we could have asked for, after the mandatory 2 weeks recovery; not only was she no longer limping but she began to engage with the dogs at the dog park running after them with no ill effect.
Also earlier this year, she began to show signs that the right leg was also bothering her, and a follow up not only showed a floating Patella , but a torn Cruciate Ligament and severe Arthritis. The recommendation was to have her undertake back to back surgeries to tackle these issues. However, given her age, her regular vet seemed reluctant to subject her to such a long and gruelling procedure.

Check out this little dude, he was having a bit too much fun running rampant in small consults. Still up for adoption, he is a little ball of energy.

🐾Another chat with our lovely Nurse Narelle 🐾
Getting our kittens acclimated to being brushed all around their bodies makes it very easy to manage their coat as they get older. Staying on top of matting is exceptionally important when you have a medium or long haired cat.
We love a chat with our Nurse Narelle❤️
It’s a great message she’s sending about introducing different sounds and sensations to your pets at a young age. This prepares them for their future groomers making it easier for them to clip neatly, do nail clips and shape around the face and eyes. We offer our grooming service for our patients who need an extra little bit of care than your local groomer can provide. (Extra care: sedation, managing extreme matting, lion cuts and baths for cats).
Let’s take extra care of our fur babies and make sure they’re up to date on their preventatives. Parasites are prevalent all year round and can affect even the bravest of pets. For this patient what seemed like a harmless itch turned out to be a quite serious case of ear mites, make sure your pets are on effective preventatives are used appropriately on both indoor and outdoor pets.
Regardless of whether you're a mum to a child or a furbaby, we want to wish you the happiest of mother's days and hope you get spoilt rotten!

Can you say cute? Because we sure can!
We don't know about you, but the crickets are the perfect response to the great result of Nurse Brittany's use of de-shedding shampoo. You could make a whole new dog will all that fur!

Sometimes our pets love the outdoors just as much as we do. Sometimes, they may love it more. Take Ringo for example, Nurse Brittany's cat.

These are ear mites out of a little kitten.
They are incredibly irritating for your pet to have, causing extreme itchiness, redness, wax build up among other symptoms and can spread quickly between animals. Your best protection is prevention. Make sure your products cover mites to stop your furry companion from getting these nasty critters.

CHRISTMAS SAFETY
From glass ornaments to plastic ones, to our table decorations to those that hang from our doors, everything that goes up, can be used and played with by our pets.
Remember to keep your decorations at a height suitable for your pets so they can't grab them or jump to them. Any ornament can break and they can cause a lot of damage. So protect your pets and always think, if I can reach it easily, can my pet?

CHRISTMAS SAFETY
The tree is lit, the strings are up and catching the light in such a festive and beautiful way. But we aren't the only ones mesmerised by the sight.
Our pets are drawn to our decorations like moths to flame. Our string lights, battery lights and light up decor are all things they can get to. There is a risk of electrocution, of injection and burns. Make sure they are unable to get to them by either barricading the location of the decorations/tree or by putting your pets in a separate room.
There is also a big risk with tinsel. There is a tightly wound metal cord inside that creates the shape of our favourite holiday sparkle. If broken, it's very sharp and if eaten, can easily perforate our pets throats, stomachs and further down the digestive tract. Tinsel itself is something that won't digest and can get their insides twisted up and cause massive trauma.
So please be cautious with your pets this holiday season and keep them AWAY from our shiny decorations!
