Tick season has finally returned!
Ensure you are being proactive and consistently checking your pets regardless of them being on preventatives. Paralysis ticks will require immediate medical attention and can often be life threating if left untreated due to respiratory paralysis. There are several preventatives which you could consider for you pets like Nexgard Spectra, Nexgard, Simparica Trio, Bravecto, Revolution Plus etc. However, we also recommend daily tick checks of your pets especially after adventures away from home. No tick prevention is 100% but with a combination of prevention and tick checks this should reduce the risk of tick paralysis for your pet.

Some of the many signs/symptoms for tick paralysis is inclusive of
 Weakness in hind legs
 Panting/ trouble breathing
 Coughing
 Collapse
 Vomiting
 Change in voice (meows or barks)
 Progressive paralysis

If you are suspicious of a potential tick or would like to discuss preventatives, please give us a call us on 02 4587 9000.

CROCODILE – DOG ROLL AND TREATS

Does your dog have a skin condition? Often when your animal is diagnosed with a skin condition your veterinarian will discuss with you an elimination diet. Crocodile is a great novel protein that can be used during an elimination diet and to support dogs with allergies. This diet is high in Omega3 and is filled with both potassium and magnesium!

In addition to the Prime 100 roll, we offer a range of crocodile treats from the Australian company Rover Pet Products. There is crocodile jerky, crips, tails and feet to give your pet a great selection of treats whilst on an elimination diet or to help support skin dogs.

Turn Treat Time into Tail-Wagging Fun! 🐾 Introducing our new Lick Mats - the perfect way to keep your furry friend entertained and mentally stimulated. Watch them happily lick away boredom and stress. Stop by our clinic today to grab one for your pup!🐶

Lick mats are a popular type of enrichment tool for dogs. They are usually made of food-grade silicone or rubber and have various textured patterns on the surface. The concept behind lick mats is to spread a soft, tasty substance like peanut butter, yogurt, or wet dog food onto the mat, and then your dog spends time licking it off.

Lick mats provide several benefits for dogs:
1. Mental stimulation: The act of licking engages their brain and can help calm anxious or bored dogs.
2. Slow feeding: Lick mats can slow down fast eaters, promoting better digestion and reducing the risk of bloat.
3. Oral health: The licking action can help clean your dog's teeth and gums.
4. Distraction: Lick mats are excellent for distracting your dog during stressful situations like thunderstorms or vet visits.
5. Entertainment: They keep your dog occupied and entertained, especially when you need some quiet time or need to focus on other tasks.

When using a lick mat, be sure to choose safe and dog-friendly ingredients to spread on it. Always supervise your dog during use, especially if they are prone to chewing or tearing things apart. Wash the mat regularly to maintain cleanliness.

Here is Dr Goldmans lovely dog Summer, enjoying her new lick mats!

Did you know over 20,000 dogs are bitten by snakes annually in Australia? Though there are several snake bite cases throughout the year, a rise in temperatures place your furry friends at a higher risk. Snakes are now out in the Hawkesbury, with multiple sightings already and we have treated our first bites of the season.

Identifying a snake bite can be quite difficult however some of the signs and symptoms to look out for include:
 Sudden weakness followed by collapse.
 Dilated pupils
 Vomiting
 Loss of bladder and bowel control
 Paralysis
 Muscle tremors/ shaking.
 Seizures
 Blood in urine

What to do if your pet does get bitten:
• This is an EMERGENCY, please call ahead of arriving at the veterinary clinic.
• Keep your pet quiet and as calm as possible to minimise movement of the venom through the body.
• Carry your pet to the car if possible.
• Do not try to catch or kill the snake for ID.

Some ways to REDUCE the RISK of snake bites for your pets around your home:
• Keeping your dog on a leash while on walks and avoid long grassy areas.
• Snakes are attracted to food and water sources. Be mindful of places that attract rodents (e.g., Chicken coops) or frogs (e.g., Ponds)
• Try to make your backyard less appealing to snakes by keeping the grass cut low and your property clear of objects where snakes may be able to hide (wood piles, piles of rubbish etc).

Some of the several signs/symptoms of heat stroke is inclusive of panting, drooling, struggling to breathe, collapsing, weakness, loss of consciousness, increase in body temp and several more.

Ensure your animal is being provided both an appropriate shelter, cooling options and an adequate amount of water!
