❓ Guess the Breed 🤔

This working dog breed is well-regarded for its extraordinary herding abilities. They are believed to have German origins from the early 19th century, when they were brought to Australia by European settlers.
Physically, these dogs vary greatly in colour and size but are generally medium-sized dogs with a double coat that can be either short or medium in length. They have a robust and agile physique suited for endurance and speed. They are celebrated for their intelligence, versatility and adaptability, with a keen instinct for herding and an impressive work ethic.

Ear Infections in Pets - Are They All The Same❓

Did you know there are different types of ear infections in pets? Understanding them can make a big difference in your pet's comfort and health! 🐶🐱

🔵 Otitis Externa: Affects the outer ear canal—look for redness, swelling and discharge.
🔵 Otitis Media: Middle ear infection—can cause pain, hearing loss and balance issues.
🔵 Otitis Interna: The most serious—impacts the inner ear, often leading to coordination problems and potential hearing loss.

These infections can be caused by bacteria, yeast, ear mites or allergies.
Each type requires different care, so if your pet shows any symptoms, please call us to book an appointment. 📞

Pet Care Plans 💙

Caring for your pets can be an expensive business, between food, wormers, tick prevention and vaccinations—and that’s only if nothing goes wrong!

What is a Pet Care Plan❓

A Pet Care Plan is a budgeting tool that can be tailored to each family. For a small fortnightly or monthly payment (starting from as little as $11 per fortnight) you can cover the year’s flea & tick control, worming and vaccinations all in easy instalments – no need to try to save hundreds for the yearly vaccination and heartworm injection. 🟣 Plans can incorporate individual pet’s needs for example prescription food or dentistry.

What are the benefits❓
🐾 Signing up will ensure your pet has the best available protection against parasites and disease
🐾 One bonus FREE consultation in case of any unexpected illnesses OR two free nail clips per year (*only available when annual vaccinations included in the plan)
🐾 It helps you to control your finances and save money for the more enjoyable things in life!
🐾 Prices are locked in for the whole 12 months - even if there are price increases of the products we buy in

How does it work❓
The Pet Care Plan works by a few easy steps:

🐾 Choose the parasite control products that suit your pet’s needs. This includes protection against intestinal worms, heartworm, fleas and paralysis ticks.
🐾 Choose your vaccination protection level (e.g. F3 or F5 for cats, C3 or C7 for dogs).
🐾 Select your direct debit frequency—can be monthly, fortnightly or weekly and sign your agreement

Then it is just a matter of popping into the clinic to grab your products whenever required.

❗️Reminders via SMS can be set-up if requested to prompt when pets are due for the next dose.

Interested❓ Then schedule a call-back from one of our team via the online booking portal or by emailing [email protected]

Spring Pet Safety 🌸

Springtime is an opportunity to get outdoors with our pets and enjoy the sunshine, but we also need to take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Plants, parasites and garden products can be toxic for pets, and allergies also tend to flare up at this time of year. 🐾🌻🌞

Check the attached infographic and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call for advice. ❤

Fun Fact Friday! 🐾

Did you know that dogs have a sense of time? ⏰ If you’ve ever noticed your pup getting antsy around mealtime or waiting by the door when you’re about to arrive home, it’s not just a coincidence! 🐕

Dogs have an internal mechanism called circadian rhythm that helps them keep track of time. This amazing ability allows them to anticipate when it’s time for food or when their favourite human is due home, even if their routine is a bit off. 🕒🍽️

Spring time is synonymous with baby animals, so let’s talk a little bit about desexing. 🌸🌿

Why do we desex cats and dogs? 🤔

🐾 Prevent unwanted litters. These can be very costly, and may add to the already overwhelming number of stray animals that are euthanased each year.
🐾 Prevent testicular cancer and prostate disease in males.
🐾 Prevent pyometra (uterine infection) and mammary tumours (breast cancer) in females.
🐾 Stopping the heat cycle in females.
🐾 Decrease aggression towards humans and other animals, especially in males.
🐾 Decrease risk of escaping and roaming, especially in males.
🐾 Prevent urine spraying, especially in male cats.
🐾 Living a longer and healthier life.
🐾 Reduction of council registration fees

For more information please call our friendly nurses for a chat. 📞

🌟 Hyperthyroidism in Cats: What You Need to Know 🌟

Is your cat eating more but losing weight? 🐱
They might be showing signs of hyperthyroidism, a common condition in older cats where the thyroid gland produces too much hormone. This can lead to symptoms such as:

🔸 Increased appetite
🔸 Weight loss
🔸 Restlessness
🔸 Increased thirst
🔸 Vomiting or diarrhoea

Early diagnosis is key! If you notice these signs, please consult with our vets for a check-up. Treatment options are available to help your feline friend live a healthier, happier life. 🐾❤️

Snake Bite Alert 🐍❗️

During the warmer days of Spring snakes become more active as they leave their winter retreats in search of a mate and food. Sadly, we lost a patient to a red belly black snake bite yesterday. 😢

🐍 If you are walking your dog in bushland or grassy areas, take care to walk in cleared areas only such as bush trails and pathways.
🐍 Keep your dog on a lead and wear long trousers and enclosed footwear.
🐍 Keep a lookout on the ground ahead of you where snakes may be sunning themselves.
🐍 Hungry snakes will be attracted to sheds and outbuildings where mice and rats breed in rubbish and under building materials such as corrugated iron sheets. Keep these areas free from debris and ensure that your pets do not have access.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, or if you find your dog with a dead snake, you should get your pet into the car immediately and head straight to our vet clinic or your nearest emergency vet hospital. It's vital that we admit your dog for observation, as signs can take time and can result in sudden collapse and death. Call us once you are underway, and we will have everything ready to help your pet. ☎️

It's Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🧡😻

Did you know❓
Ginger cats have a predominance of a certain pigment known as pheomelanin—the same pigment that produces red hair in humans!
Ginger cats are also more likely to be male than female. This is because the “ginger gene” which produces the orange color is on the X chromosome.

Do you have a special ginger feline friend? Tell us in the comments! 👇

BREED SPOTLIGHT: Norwegian Forest Cat 🐈🐾

The Norwegian Forest Cat is a large, heavily b***d, heavily coated cat. They are muscular and look like the hunters they used to be. Being territorial, the Norwegian likes room to make their own. They enjoy running, hiding and ambushing their toys! Perches and room to run should be provided.

Norwegian Forest Cats are sweet and loving. They appreciate praise and love to interact with their parents. They makes loving companions and bond with their parents once they accept them for their own. 💞

Norwegian Forest cats must be groomed daily to keep their coat free from knots and tangles, especially during shedding season. This grooming can be incorporated into play time, but generally they enjoy being groomed. As with all thick coated cats, a hairball remedy may need to be given when regular shedding is occurring.

Norwegian Forest cats live an average of 8-14 years. 💓

Want your pets to get along? 🐱🐶

Early Socialisation: If a dog is introduced to cats or other animals at a young age and vice versa, they are more likely to get along. Early positive experiences with the other species can shape their behavior and reduce the likelihood of conflict.

Gradual Introduction: When introducing a new cat or dog to the household, it's crucial to do so gradually. Allow them to get used to each other's scents before direct interaction. Use positive reinforcement, treats, and praise to create positive associations.

Provide Safe Spaces: Cats often appreciate having elevated spaces where they can observe the dog from a safe distance. Make sure your cat has access to areas where they can retreat if they feel the need.

Patience and Training: Both cats and dogs can benefit from training. Basic commands like, sit, stay and leave it are useful for managing interactions.

Consistency and positive reinforcement are key. 🐶🐱

NEW ENTRANCE Our renovations are progressing well so we will be back open next week after the long weekend. Among the changes is that a second consult room has been build in the waiting room where the entrance was. From next week the new entry point to the clinic will be on the other side of the old reception.

We will be functioning in a pretty limited capacity at Yamba Vets until such time as the water goes down and we can get the building dried out. For those who can get there - we will have Maclean Vet Clinic open tomorrow if your pets need care.
