🎄🐾 Christmas Dangers for Pets: Stay Safe This Festive Season! 🐾🎄

The Christmas season is filled with joy, but it also brings some hidden dangers for our furry friends. With the Aussie summer in full swing, veterinary clinics see an increase in emergency cases during this time. Here's what to look out for to keep your pets safe:

Christmas Foods to Avoid:
🍷 Alcohol: Can cause intoxication, vomiting, and even death. Keep drinks out of reach!
🥑 Avocado: Can cause gastrointestinal issues and pancreatitis.
🍖 BBQ Meats: High in fat and can lead to pancreatitis or intestinal punctures from bones or skewers.
☕ Caffeine: Found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, it can cause seizures and heart problems.
🍫 Chocolate: Toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, seizures, or worse.
🍇 Grapes & Raisins: Can lead to kidney damage and failure.
🥜 Macadamia Nuts: Can cause hind limb weakness and pain.
🍰 Christmas Puddings & Mince Pies: Contain toxic ingredients like grapes and raisins.
🍄 Mushrooms: Poisonous varieties can cause severe health issues.
🧅 Onions & Garlic: Harmful to both cats and dogs, leading to digestive issues and anemia.
🍬 Xylitol: Common in sugar-free products, it can cause dangerously low blood sugar in dogs.

Non-Food Dangers:
🔋 Batteries: Swallowed batteries can cause severe internal damage.
🎄 Christmas Trees & Tinsel: Hazardous if ingested and can lead to GI damage or physical injury.
🎣 Fishing Hooks: Can get stuck and require immediate vet intervention.
🌸 Lilies: Highly toxic to cats—even brushing against them can be fatal.
🐍 Snakes: Summer means more snake activity—keep pets safe from bites!
🪳 Ticks: Keep up with tick prevention, as paralysis ticks can be life-threatening.
🔥 Heat: Aussie summer heat can cause heat stress, especially for short-nosed breeds.

Stay vigilant this holiday season and ensure your pets enjoy Christmas as much as you do! For emergencies, contact your nearest vet. 🏥❤️

🌞🐾 Warning: Protect Your Pets from Heat Stroke This Summer! 🐾🌞

Australia's summer heat is here, and our furry friends need extra care in this scorching weather. Heat stroke is a serious and life-threatening condition, and pets are especially vulnerable.

🔴 Signs of Heat Stroke in Pets:

Excessive panting or drooling

Rapid or irregular breathing

Weakness or lethargy

Vomiting or diarrhoea

Bright red or pale gums

Confusion or unsteady movements

💡 How to Help:

Always provide access to fresh water.

Avoid walking your pet on hot pavement—walk early or late in the day.

Keep pets inside during the hottest part of the day (usually 11 am - 4 pm).

Never leave pets in a hot car, even for a minute!

If you notice any signs of heat stroke, immediately move your pet to a cool area, offer water, and contact your vet for emergency care.

Stay safe and keep your pets cool! 🐶🐱🐰🐹🦜🐓🐾

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at NIVH (to the pure joy of a lot of our staff!) 🎅🏼🦌🎄

We invite all of our patients (and pet owners alike!) to dress in their very best festive attire and spread some festive cheer and feature in our no doubt many festive posts!!

If you don't have your own festive attire...your fur babies may be roped into a dress up session with the reception team 🤣 just like bootiful Jasper here...he didn't mind...it meant extra treats!!!

HoHoHo 🎅🏼

🌸 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🌸

This month, you may have noticed our amazing team at NIVH is proudly wearing pink to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and raise awareness about the importance of breast cancer research.

Did you know that breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia? Every day, 58 people hear the words "you have breast cancer," and tragically, 9 lives are lost to this disease daily, even though the five-year survival rate has improved dramatically from 76% to 92% since 1994 . In total, over 21,000 people will be diagnosed each year, including around 200 men.

By supporting NBCF, we aim to help eliminate deaths from breast cancer entirely. Their goal is to reach Zero Deaths, targeting the remaining 8% of patients who don't survive.

Join us in spreading awareness, supporting research, and working towards a future where no one has to lose someone they love to this disease. 💖

If you would prefer, our kind neighbours at the Bulli Community Centre are also happy for us to use their car park which is accessible from Dumbbell Road.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you and your pets soon! 🐾
