🐰RABBIT CALICIVIRUS & VACCINATION UPDATE🐰
Rabbit Calicivirus is a highly infectious and usually fatal respiratory disease in rabbits. There have been recent developments with the deadly Rabbit Calicivirus disease in Australia.

Historically, the dominant virus strain was the RHDV1 strain, for which we have been able to vaccinate against using the traditional CYLAP vaccine. More recently, a newer strain called RHDV2 has become the predominant strain in Australia in the rabbit population.

The CYLAP vaccine may no longer provide rabbits with optimal protection against this strain, and for this reason we have now secured supply of the newer FILAVAC vaccine which protects against BOTH strains.

With the newer FILAVAC vaccine, rabbits only need one dose every 12 months to provide protection (as opposed to one dose every 6 months with the older vaccine). Whilst a bit more expensive than the older vaccine, research suggests it provides superior protection.

If you would like to book your rabbit for vaccination, please either call one of our friendly team members on 9457 3409 or alternatively you can book online at https://rivertonvet.com.au/book-online

🐾Did you know up to 40% of dogs are likely to have symptoms of arthritis, but owners may not realise as signs are often concealed by the dog?🐾

Osteoarthritis, commonly known as arthritis, can cause joint pain and discomfort. This isn't limited to colder months, pets can experience it year round and it may hinder their ability to exercise or play; however symptoms do often worsen as the weather cools down.

Arthritis is influenced by various factors such as developmental issues, poor conformation, injury and obesity. Both small and large breed dogs may be affected.

Early diagnosis and treatment can enhance the quality of life for affected dogs. The best first step is having your pet checked over by a vet, please give us a call on 9457 3409 if you would like to make an appointment, or book online: https://rivertonvet.com.au/book-online

❤️‍🩹POSITIVE HEARTWORM CASE IN PERTH❤️‍🩹
There has been a recent report of a confirmed heartworm case in a dog in an inner suburb of Perth. This dog has not travelled or come from over east, reinforcing that heartworm is present in and around Perth. This dog is now undergoing extensive heartworm treatment.

As heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, this case is a good reminder of the importance of remaining extra vigilant with heartworm prevention for your dog. There are many options available for heartworm prevention, including a once-a-year injection that is administed by a vet, which is very convenient and alleviates the need to remember to give monthly preventatives.

Please come and have a chat to us if you would like any advice or assistance choosing a heartworm preventative for your dog.

01/03/2024

Dental disease is the most common disease we diagnose, impacting our furry friends so much more than what most owners may realise. Thankfully here at Riverton Rossmoyne Vet, we can successfully treat and care for patients that suffer with such disease.

Archie is one of our treasured elderly patients, he is a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer. Archie has loving and caring owners who bring him in for regular dental cleans. Dr Ali Gooding has been Archie's primary care veterinarian for his whole life and has performed numerous dental cleans for him throughout that time. This has not only guaranteed to extend his life expectancy, but has meant that his quality of life has been greatly improved through regular dental care.

Archie was recently in for one of his regular dental treatments, which are performed under general anaesthetic. It was during this time, that a growth in his mouth was detected, found during the usual inspection that is done when a dental clean is performed. A biopsy was taken, which determined that he has a cancerous lesion in his mouth. However luckily the cancer is benign, so we can monitor it for now.

Please look at the 'before' and 'after' photos. The red spot on the gum in the 'after'photo is where the biopsy was taken. Archie is certainly smiling a lot more brightly now!

🐾GUESS WHICH TEAM MEMBER I BELONG TO!🐾
🐕Name: Colton
🐕Age: 4 months
🐕About me: I was rescued along with six of my siblings from a very unfortunate situation where there wasn’t enough food for us all. Luckily the people where I lived asked a rescue for help. My new mum has been told that I was around 11 weeks when I was rescued, and I was very skinny. The rescue has described me as an American Bulldog X. I have only been in my new home for almost a month, but I have settled really well and have gained over 8kg already!
🐕My family: I have three new feline siblings that I am very polite with, but I wish they would play more (they can be fun to chase, but I get told not to do that). My new big sister is a miniature English Bullterrier, she loves to play all the time and steals my toys.
🐕Likes: I have just discovered the garden hose and think that’s great fun, especially when I try and take it into the house!
🐕One clue about my human: My human has been working at Riverton Rossmoyne Vet for 2 years, but has been a veterinary nurse for over 20 years.
Can you guess which team member Colton belongs to?
Is it one of our vets- Dr Jon, Dr Ali, Dr Steph or Dr Gaelia?
Or is it one of our nurses- Oneeka, Melanie, Kelly, Emily or Anique?
Post your guesses below!

The flying kitten- an amazing survival!
The flying kitten- an amazing survival!

**THE FLYING KITTEN - AN AMAZING SURVIVAL!** This week we have seen a very young kitten, only a couple of weeks old, survive a remarkable ordeal- being picked up by a crow, flown through the sky and dropped from a significant height, then continue to be pecked and attacked by the crow until it was rescued and brought into us for treatment. The kitten's rescuers have provided us with CCTV footage that shows the events unfold. About 7 seconds into the footage you can see something white drop from the sky, this is the kitten. The crow then attacks it for about 2 minutes until the rescuers come home and find the kitten. It is extremely lucky they came home when they did, otherwise the kitten would have unlikely survived. Upon examination at our hospital, the kitten remarkably had no major injuries. The kitten will remain in our care and be bottle fed until it is old enough to be adopted. We have no idea where the crow picked the kitten up from. This story serves as a timely reminder to be mindful that we are now in breeding season where birds such as magpies and crows can become very aggressive, please be careful!

Wow, a skipping dog! Check out this video of our lovely patient Rosie, a Staffy cross Kelpie, skipping with her mum. Isn't she clever?!

We just had to share this video of our gorgeous patient Tofu learning to dance. How clever is he?!

If your dog has ever contracted canine (kennel) cough, this video may sound familiar. Kennel cough is still very common, however at Riverton Rossmoyne Veterinary Hospital we now have the latest oral vaccine that provides the best protection against one of the most important causes of this disease. If your pet's vaccinations are due, please phone us on 9457 3409 for an appointment.
