Assisted Rehoming of Pingu

7 years old
Female (desexed)
Microchipped and vaccinated

Due to no fault of her own, Pingu is looking for a new place to call home. Unfortunately her owners are unable to continue caring for her, so they are regretfully putting her up for adoption.
She has lived with a big dog and has grown up around children, so would be well suited to a family with kids and/or a dog. She would equally be fine with an older person or couple.
She spends a lot of her time outdoors but enjoys her naps inside on the couch.

If you are interested in meeting this lovely lady or would like any more information, please contact Silvia on 0433 926 931.

Thank you to Julie and David from for hosting our clinic Christmas Party this year🎄
The team had an amazing experience sailing the Hastings River. Unfortunately we were missing a few staff members, but we managed to get a lovely group photo with most of the team.

Whilst desexing your cat has numerous health and behavioural benefits, it’s good to be aware that this procedure will also usually slow your pet’s metabolism slightly in the long-term.

To prevent your cat gaining unhealthy weight at maturity, we’d recommend the following:
Switching adult cats to a complete and balanced diet designed to control their weight – ask our team for recommendations if you’re unsure
Encouraging your cat to exercise daily through outdoors exploration time or indoor play with toys 🎾

For more advice on assessing and supporting your cat’s body condition, consult our health-happy vets! 🐾

*Whispering* Does your pet get very anxious with loud noises such as fireworks, thunderstorms or unexpected yelling? 🎇🌪️

Unfortunately, if not treated correctly, noise phobias can worsen over time and may result in your pet developing destructive or self-endangering behaviours in their panicked attempts to escape.

If you suspect that your pet has a noise phobia, we’d recommend a prompt consultation with our soothing vets. Depending on your pet’s particular issue, we can make recommendations on behavioural modification and/or calming medications to help quieten their fear. 🌿

Does your cat find routine vet visits stressful? 😾

Our team would recommend the following stress-soothing tips:
• Ten minutes before travelling, spray your pet’s carrier with calming feline scent hormone
• Partially cover your pet’s carrier with a light towel to increase their feelings of security
• In the waiting room, keep your pet’s carrier securely up on your lap where possible
• Ask our team about the potential usage of safe, calming sedatives for your pet prior to veterinary appointments

For more advice on keeping your cat calm and content out of the house, consult our feline-friendly team! 🐈

Spider bites in pets: new fear unlocked? 🕷️

Whilst spider bites in pets fortunately don’t seem to be a common issue, it’s still a good idea to be aware, as redback and funnel-web spider bites can cause severe pain, whilst redback bites can also potentially lead to vomiting, muscle cramping, agitation or even sudden death in cats.

We advise a strategy of prevention by keeping pets out of sheds and garages where possible, and keeping outdoor areas tidy and clean, with objects well-spaced to reduce potential spider hiding nooks. 🏡

If you suspect your pet may have been bitten by a spider, we’d recommend seeking urgent advice from our team or the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline.

With lots of “oodles” (poodle cross dogs) about, our team would love to remind owners of the importance of regular grooming for these pets. 🐩

Poodles have constantly growing hair (instead of fur), meaning that they usually require hair clips every 8 weeks or so, in addition to regular brushing and combing to prevent mats.

It’s particularly important to keep the hair around your pet’s eyes clipped very short, to prevent long strands dangling into their eyes and causing conjunctivitis (eye irritation).

If you have a photo of your beautiful “oodle” looking freshly groomed n’ fine, please post it below! ✂️

⚠️Warning Graphic Content ⚠️
Dusty was rushed into the clinic after getting her leg caught in wire. The skin was pulled away exposing the bone and tendons and potentially leaving the skin without a blood supply. This is called a degloving injury. Immediate first aid applied by her owner and early reconstructive surgery by Dr Jess has been a great success.

With more life-threatening parasites such as ticks and heartworms often stealing the limelight, many pet owners forget about the humble (but still harmful) flea!

Whilst fleas can make any animal uncomfortable, pets with an allergy to flea saliva can develop severe dermatitis (skin inflammation) from flea bites, leading to significant itchiness, hair loss and even secondary bacterial infections.

Additionally, in very young or old pets, significant flea burdens can lead to blood loss anaemia and weakness.

For advice on the easiest, safest and most effective flea prevention for your pet, consult our critter clued-up team! 🐕

Whilst it is normal for cats to intermittently attend to their back-end hygiene, increased bottom licking can indicate medical issues. 🐱

Cats may develop irritation around their bottom due to:
• Intestinal worms, such as tapeworm
• Environmental, food or flea allergies
• A**l gland blockages or infections
• Gastrointestinal problems causing diarrhoea
• Urinary tract inflammation or blockages

So, if you notice that your cat is paying more attention than usual to their rear, we’d recommend a check-up with our itch-informed veterinary team. With a thorough assessment, we should get to the bottom of your cat’s issue in no time! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Have you heard of grass awns? These sharp little grass seeds can become stuck in your pet’s soft tissues, creating inflammation and infection. 🌾

Whilst we most commonly find grass awns embedded into paws, they can also become lodged in your pet’s conjunctiva (the pink tissue surrounding the eyeball) or ear canals! This leads to significant pain and can result in damage to your pet’s eyes or ear drums.

If your pet develops sudden skin, eye or ear irritation during spring or summer, it’s best to have them checked prompt by our awn-aware team! 👂

Did you know that “cat flu” is not one specific infection, but instead refers to the upper respiratory symptoms caused by a few common feline viruses and bacteria? 🦠

As well as cold-like symptoms (such as red, runny eyes and nasal discharge), affected cats may also develop a fever, breathing troubles, or ulcers in the mouth or eyes. 🐾

The good news? Cats can be vaccinated against some of the most common causes of cat flu, thereby lessening their unwellness should they be exposed! 😺
