Do you have room in your heart and home for 3 beautiful much loved tabby cats?

These 2 girls (4 and 5 year old) and boy (8) are all desexed and looking for someone to live them as much as their previous owner, who has sadly and suddenly passed away.

The cats can be homed separately, however one of the girls and the boy are quite bonded to each other and it would be great if they could go to a new home together.

Please contact the clinic on 6778 3133 if you are at all interested ❤️

Friday October 11th is Vet Nurse Day. Our amazing nurses Vicki, Annette, Connie, Jocelyn and Annabelle are the most dedicated, skilled and compassionate nurses and people you will ever meet!

What you see out the front and hear over the phone is only the tip of the iceberg in what they do. Behind the scenes our nurses monitor our anaesthetics and sedation, prepare your pet's for surgery, give them their medications, continually monitor sick pets through the day, clean unspeakable messes, find all the things us vets lose and can't find, are our friends, provide urgent chocolate needs, give much needed pats and TLC to patients missing their families plus so much more.

Without our awesome nurses our clinic couldn't function at all, thankyou for everything you for us@

If you hold a pension card or Health care card please take advantage of this generous offer from New England RSPCA.

They are fully subsidising the cost of desexing cats and offerring 50% off desexing vouchers for dogs.

Desexing your pets reduces the number of unwanted dogs in shelters, reduces the occurrence of certain cancers and life threatening infections and reduces the need for vet visits due to fights and road traffic accidents

04/10/2024

We will be open as normal from 9-12 this Saturday, then closed until 8 am Tuesday.

We hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend/grandfinal weekend. If you are heading away with your pet's please remember to give them a tick and heartworm preventative if you are travelling to risky areas.

If you have any animal emergencies over the long weekend we are on call and can be reached by phoning 0467 158 250 😀

🐑🐄 Pain relief for lamb and calf marking 🩺

Marking lambs and calves is a vital part of livestock management, but it’s also important to prioritize their comfort and well-being. Pain relief is not just a matter of ethics; it’s essential for the health and productivity of your young livestock.

Providing pain relief has important benefits:

🐄Reduces Stress and Pain: Marking procedures can be uncomfortable and stressful for lambs and calves. Pain relief helps minimize their discomfort and supports a quicker recovery.

🐑Improves Welfare: Providing pain relief demonstrates your commitment to animal welfare and helps ensure that your livestock are treated humanely.

🐮Enhances Recovery: Animals that experience less pain recover more quickly and are less likely to experience complications, leading to better overall health and productivity.

🐏Supports Productivity: Healthy, less stressed animals are more likely to thrive and perform better, which is beneficial for your operation in the long run.

What Can You Do?

Consult Your Vet: Discuss pain relief options with your veterinarian to choose the best methods and medications for your specific situation.
Plan Ahead: Ensure that pain relief measures are part of your pre-marking preparation to avoid any delays or complications.

Let’s work together to ensure that our lambs and calves are handled with care and compassion. If you have any questions about pain relief options or marking procedures, don’t hesitate to reach out!

🐱Fun cat fact 🐱

🐱 Cats have a “vocabulary” of over 100 different sounds!

Unlike dogs, which typically communicate with a limited range of barks, cats have developed a complex range of vocalizations. From meows and purrs to chirps and trills, each sound can mean something different depending on the situation. Cats often use these sounds specifically to communicate with humans, tailoring their “language” to get what they want—like food, attention, or playtime!

We think Sheiba has 100 different sounds to say feed me!😆

🪱 The Importance of Worm Control for Your Pets—and Your Family! 🐶🐱

Worm control isn’t just about keeping your pets healthy; it's also crucial for protecting your family. Worms like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can affect both dogs and cats, leading to serious health issues. But did you know some of these parasites can be transmitted to humans too?

Why Regular Worm Control Matters:

Protect Your Pets: Worms can cause weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and even more severe health problems in pets if left untreated.

Human Health Risks: Some worms are zoonotic, meaning they can be passed from pets to humans. Young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. In humans, these parasites can cause conditions like toxocariasis, which can lead to serious complications.

Prevent Environmental Contamination: Regular worming helps reduce the spread of parasites in your home and local environment, keeping everyone safer.

🔄 How to Keep Your Pets (and Family) Safe:

Regular Worming Treatments: Use vet-recommended worming products as part of your pet's routine health care. Puppies and kittens need worming more frequently, while adult pets should be wormed every 3 months or as advised by your vet.

Good Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling pets, especially before eating, and keep your pets' living areas clean.

Pick Up After Your Pets: Promptly dispose of your pet’s waste to minimize the risk of environmental contamination.

Routine Vet Checks: Regular health check-ups can help catch and treat any worm infestations early. We are able to check for worm eggs in dog and cat faeces to determine if your pet needs to be wormed

🌸 Is Your Pet Suffering from Allergies? 🐶🐱

Just like humans, our pets can experience allergies too! Allergies in pets can be caused by a variety of factors, including food, pollen, dust mites, or even fleas. Just like in us, allergies can range in severity from quite mild to symptoms that severely impact on quality of like. Here are some common signs to look out for:

🚨 Signs of Allergies in Pets:

Itchy Skin: Constant scratching, licking, or chewing, especially around the paws, ears, and belly. Sometimes to the point of breaking the skin
Red or Inflamed Skin: Hot spots, rashes, or hair loss.
Ear Infections: Frequent head shaking or ear scratching.
Watery Eyes and Sneezing: Common with environmental allergies.
Digestive Issues: Vomiting or diarrhea, often linked to food allergies or intolerances.

🛡️ How to Help Your Pet:

Consult Your Vet: A proper diagnosis is key! We can help identify the cause of your pet’s allergies and recommend the best treatment plan.

Allergy Testing: For persistent symptoms, we may suggest allergy testing to pinpoint specific triggers.

Medication & Treatments: There are various ways to manage your pet’s allergies effectively. Sometimes we need to use a combination of medications in the initial stages to stabilise your pets condition

Regular Grooming: Keep your pet clean and their environment free from allergens like dust and pollen. For example wipe your dog's face and paws with a damp cloth after being outside can remove the pollens that set off an allergic reaction.

Flea Control: Stay on top of flea prevention—flea bites can trigger severe allergic reactions in some pets.

Don’t let allergies get in the way of your pet’s happiness! 🐾 If you suspect your pet has allergies, book a consultation with us today. In many cases allergy management is lifelong, but with the proper treatment we can make a huge improvement in an affected animal's quality of life🐾✨

🕷️ Tick Season Alert: Protect Your Pets! 🐾

The warmer weather means tick season is upon us in NSW. Although paralysis ticks aren't endemic to our area, they are on the coast and as our climate changes we are seeing ticks encroaching into areas where they haven't been before. It is crucial to keep our furry friends safe from these parasites! Paralysis ticks left untreated will often cause fatal paralysis.

Here are some top tips for tick prevention:

Regular Tick Checks: When in tick areas make it a habit to check your pets daily, especially around the ears, neck, underbelly, and between the toes.

Tick Prevention Products: There are now extremely effective tick preventatives like a yearly injection, oral medications, spot-ons and collars. Remember, not all products are suitable for all pets—ask us for the best option!

Avoid Tick Hotspots: Keep your pets away from long grass, bushy areas, and leaf litter where ticks are commonly found.

Grooming: Keep your pets’ coats trimmed and groomed, especially during peak tick season.

Know the Symptoms: Watch out for signs of tick paralysis, such as weakness, wobbliness, vomiting, or breathing difficulties. If you notice any of these, seek veterinary care immediately. It is important to realise symptoms can develop or continue to worsen up to 6 hours after a tick has been removed

Hi, my name is Muffin.

I’m a 9 year old, castrated boy and I’m looking for my furever home. I’m very friendly, warm up to new people easily and I’m curious about my surroundings. I would like to be an only cat in an indoor only home.

If you would like to meet me, please give the Clinic a call on 6778 3133.

When was the last time you checked your pet's teeth?

Dogs, cats and horses need regular dental check ups just like people do!

This older fellow was still eating very well, but his owner had noticed smelly breath, so bought him in for a dental check up with us. From the outside, we could see that there was a significant build up of calculus and inflamed gums on some teeth.

All of our small animal dental cases receive xrays to help us identify and properly treat the dental disease. We know that what we see above the gum line is just the tip of the iceberg and that was certainly the case with this lad. The bone in his jaw had been by resorbed around 5mm, meaning there was very little bone in places and we knew we had to be very careful not to fracture his jaw during the dental, he also had abscesses under a number of teeth.

Sadly this fellow had to loose all bar one tooth, however he now no longer has to eat with abscessed teeth and inflamed bleeding gums. If his dental disease wasn't addressed, his heart and kidneys were an a high risk of developing infections also. We expect him to be much happier and healthier with his new mouth :)
