🦠 We have seen a spike in parvovirus cases this week in the greater Lismore area 🦠

The ONLY way to ensure your dog is completely protected is through vaccination 💉. Vaccination is very safe and very effective.

Parvovirus is shed into the environment in faeces by carrier dogs and can remain in the environment for several years.

If your dog is not vaccinated, look out for symptoms including lethargy, not eating, vomiting, and bloody diarrhoea. Treatment is very extensive and not always effective. 🩺

If your dog is showing any of these signs or you would like to book in for a vaccination, please PHONE the clinic on (02) 6622 0033.

Snake bites in dogs and cats

Often when your animal is bitten by a snake you may not even know it has happened. Here are some signs to watch out for even if you do not initially suspect a snake bite.
Signs that your dog has been bitten by a snake:
· Sudden weakness and collapse
· Vomiting
· Salivation
· Trembling
· Followed by an apparent recovery
· Blood clotting problems such as red gums, blood in urine and blood coming from eyes
· Pupil dilation

Signs that your cat has been bitten by a snake:
· Difficulty walking or balancing
· Weakness
· Vomiting
· Coma
· Flaccid paralysis with ability to move tail

What to do if you suspect your dog or cat has been bitten:
· Contact your vet as soon as possible
· Keep your dog as immobile as possible
and try not to over excite them
· If you have seen the snake, try and identify it or take a picture but don’t try to catch it
· If you can see a bite wound apply a firm bandage over the site but do not apply a torniquet
· If possible, carry your dog to the car to limit their movement
