When is tick season? It's always tick season, particularly on Sydney's beautiful leafy North Shore. Thankfully Bravecto have released their Tick and Flea Prevention in an Annual Injection. Bravecto Quantum is now available. Call or book online now.
It's Senior Wellness Month(s) for April and May so we thought it only proper that we got some feedback from one of our older gentlemen about their experience at Mosman Vet. #SeniorWellness #miniaturepoodle #mosmanpet
Dr Lisa's cheeky cat, Sneakers, was not so impressed about Bravecto day 😹 Even during the winter months, ticks can still be around so we recommend year round protection to keep your pets happy & healthy #mosmanvet #catsofmosman #catsofinstagram #ticks #fleas #bravecto
❗️ Is your pet up to date with their tick prevention? ❗️
You may have seen on the news recently that the tick anti-serum that is used to treat tick paralysis is out of stock nation wide. Thankfully, we do have stock here at Mosman Vet should your pet fall ill.
We are strongly recommending that ALL animals have tick prevention applied throughout the year (unless your pet has NO access to the outdoors). If you are unsure whether they are up to date, please phone our reception staff to check their file. All preventative products purchased through us will have easy reminders texts sent out when they are next due, taking the fuss out of keeping your pet safe!

FREAKY FRIDAY
Here's a look down the microscope lens, looking at ear mites or otodectic mange! These little critters were found in a very cute puppies ear and can be quite a common occurrence.
They cause serious irritation to dogs and cats, shown by head shaking, scratching and rubbing of the ears
Thankfully they are easily treated, but can cause secondary ear infections if left for too long
Minnie
Poor teddy didn't stand a chance againt Minnie! Who else' dog loves to play with their toys like this?
❗️ LETS TALK GRASS SEEDS ❗️
It's hard to picture a simple grass seed being a problem - but they pack a much larger punch that their small size lets on!
These little suckers can easily get caught up in your pets fur, and can burrow into their skin. They're fantastic at spreading bacteria and will almost always cause an infection. The worst part (yes there's more) is that they can also travel easily through your pets body under the skin, meaning that a grass seed that enters through the paw, can travel to the head, shoulder blades or hind end.
The difficulty for us is finding them, it's essentially like finding a needle in a hay stack! Thankfully for our patient Mac, the grass seed causing swelling and an infection in his foot was easily found as soon as we opened up the effected area! Once removed, and with the help of antibiotics, he will make a full recovery!
We always strongly recommend stay away from bushy areas with long grass. If you frequent these areas, brush through your pets coats to remove any grass seeds, paying particular attention to their paws.

Mosman Veterinary Hospital's Heartworm Amnesty

Call us on (02) 9960 2856 to book your dog in today!

Why do we de-worm our pets?
(Warning - not for the squeamish!).
This is an intestinal worm (yes it's still alive!) that was brought in today after a cat vomited it up. Any guesses what type of worm this might be?
This is a great reminder of why we regularly de-worm our pets!
Not sure if your pets' worming is up-to-date? Call our friendly team on (02) 9960 2856!
Cat Alarm!
It's Monday!
(Luckily some of us have cats who will push things off tables until they get out of bed!)

Prevention is BEST
Ticks are out and about- thoroughly check your pet each day (including these mouths & ears) even if they are on tick prevention. Prevention is best.
