🐶🐶 Parvovirus 🐶🐶

You may have heard Parvovirus outbreaks are currently on the rise in Australia. Is your dog up to date with their yearly vaccinations? If not, please book in with us today to ensure they are covered.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral disease of dogs that commonly causes acute and severe gastrointestinal illness in puppies, but can also affect older animals. Parvovirus can cause severe dehydration, shock and death in severe cases.

If you suspect your dog may have parvovirus, there are a few symptoms to be on the lookout for:

- Loss or lack of appetite
- Lethargy
- Abdominal bloating and pain
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea, often containing blood

Call us on 07 5447 1679 to book an appointment.

Dog owners have been warned after confirmed outbreaks of a highly contagious and potentially fatal virus.

Do you know the needs of an indoor cat?�There are many benefits to keeping your cat indoors, but it is essential that the spaces you provide meet your cat’s needs.

Royal Canin have put together a basic checklist to make sure you’re prepared.
Each cat should have:

✔️ 2 x litter trays
✔️ 2 x feed stations
✔️ 2 x water bowls
✔️ 3 x different types of scratching surfaces
✔️ 3 x resting/hiding places in different locations

If you have several cats, you’ll need to provide more resources as cats don’t always like to share. Below a photo of nurse Ruby's cat Cat Stevens. He doesn't like to share the eggs!

Laser therapy is beneficial in treating a large range of conditions. It targets tissue to decrease inflammation, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and accelerate healing on a wide variety of conditions, including pre-surgical, post-surgical, acute, and chronic disease states.

Laser therapy can be used as a sole treatment or in conjunction with a veterinary guided treatment plan. This plan can also include other forms of therapy, surgery, prescription medications or dietary supplements.

If you recognise any of these conditions or symptoms then please ask one of our friendly team how laser therapy can help your pet.

The warmer weather might be lovely for us humans, but can bring many discomforts to our furry family members. We've already seen numerous dogs with hot spots, (severe) itchiness, ear infections and aural hematoma's come into the clinic lately.

If your dog is showing signs of discomfort, contact us. Our friendly vets Liz, Alice and Lyndel are happy to make life more comfortable for your dog and for you. Because no one likes their dog being uncomfortable!
