Relocating to Australia with your pets?
If so be prepared! Be very prepared! There are MANY steps in the process, which need to be followed in specific order and at specific times. The process from start to finish is an absolute minimum of 7 months, however we recommend starting the process at LEAST 10 months in advance. Vaccines, microchip certification, blood tests, de-fleaing, deworming, health checks, permits..…the list goes on. On arrival into Australia there is then a 10 day quarantine period in Melbourne before your pet can head off to your final Australian destination.
With decades of experience in this process, we can work with your chosen pet travel agent to ensure all the veterinary requirements are fulfilled and a smooth relocation occurs.

Eyelid Mass
This gentle giant had a persistent discharge from his left eye.
Gentle inspection revealed a large, ulcerated mass on the inside of the upper eyelid -rubbing on the cornea and causing irritation and inflammation. To surgically remove these masses completely and to avoid them “growing back” a full thickness wedge resection is made. The deficit is then closed with fine, soft, absorbable suture material. It is imperative that the patient wears an Elizabethan Collar (cone) to avoid self-trauma to the wound until it is fully healed. In this case the lump was a “Meibomian epithelioma” – which should not recur now full excision has been done.

Can you SPOT the puppy that’s not protected? Unfortunately you can’t!
At this age they all look happy and healthy, BUT there are many “nasties" out there that can affect your puppy. A regime of preventatives is recommended to help your puppy grow up healthily and avoid many diseases. If you have a new puppy and want to know more, book in for a comprehensive examination and discussion on how to keep your dog happy and healthy in Hong Kong!

WARNING- intraoperative photos with blood included!
Dachshunds are low to the ground enough, but when the belly is getting bigger and nearly touches the ground then there is a problem! This well loved little princess came to visit us as the astute owners noticed the abdomen was “big” but everything else was Ok. Examination indeed revealed a palpable mass in the abdomen. Blood tests were essentially normal, but slightly anaemic. The most likely diagnosis was a tumour on the spleen. The decision was made to immediately do an exploratory laparotomy to “have a look inside” to see what was happening and what could be fixed, before the mass ruptured and caused internal bleeding. Surgery was done and yes- there was a large mass (10cm diameter and weighing 1.1kg!) associated with the spleen. The mass and spleen were removed and there were no obvious gross metastases seen. Recovery is expected to be uneventful. The laboratory histopathology will now tell us what the future prognosis is.

2.
Client: My cat is not eating so well and won’t let me touch her around the mouth.

Veterinarian: She is not eating well and sore around the mouth because she has significant dental disease and a bad molar that is loose, infected and painful. We will need to do an anaesthetic, remove the offending bad tooth, lavage and clean the wound, clean up the remaining teeth and send her home with pain-killers and antibiotics. We may need to do a x-ray to ensure all the rotten tooth root is removed. We will run a blood test first to ensure we use an appropriate general anaesthetic protocol and no contraindicated antibiotics or pain-killers. Once it is healed she should be back to being a happy cat. We can do this as a matter of urgency to make her comfortable and back to having a good quality of life.

Client: Thank you doctor, but I won’t do that now. I will go on social media and ask non veterinarian strangers what they would do and how much it costs.

Veterinarian: OK but the longer you leave it the more she suffers and the more complications that can be encountered.

As veterinarians we don’t understand why many pet owners let their pets suffer in silence with dental disease when the problem can be so easily rectified. It makes no sense!

Two Common Conversations of Clients and Veterinarians

1.
Client: My cat has a piece of glass in its foot pad it is sore and infected and she won’t walk on it and is so uncomfortable she is now not eating.

Veterinarian: Yes this is sore, infected and needs urgent attention. We will need to do an anaesthetic, remove the offending foreign body, lavage and clean the wound and send her home with pain-killers and antibiotics. We may need to do a x-ray to ensure all the foreign body is removed. Once it is healed she should be back to being a happy cat.

Client: OK, please can we do this as a matter of urgency as her quality of life now is terrible.

Veterinarian: Yes we can do that right away. We will run a blood test first to ensure we use an appropriate general anaesthetic protocol and no contraindicated antibiotics or pain-killers.

Client: Thank you doctor please go ahead – I don’t want to see her suffering

TICK FEVER
One of the greatest health hazards in Hong Kong for your dog!
Hong Kong has an abundance of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus more commonly referred to as the Brown Dog Tick. Their saliva carries three types of blood parasites namely Babesia canis, Babesia gibsoni both protozoans and Ehrlichia canis, a rickettsia which cause Tick Fever.
Often the first sign noticed is that your dog feels tired and starts to go off food. As the disease develops they may become progressively weaker, may have dark coloured or blood tinged urine, bleeding from the mucus membranes, and episodes of fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. The disease can have a very gradual onset and progression, with your best friend initially just looking “off colour” until the later stages when walking may not even be possible!
Treatment of Tick Fever is a combination of supportive measures and medication to kill the blood parasites. Treatment is generally very successful but some dogs can develop complications and in some dogs, despite aggressive treatment, it can still be fatal.
Remember these ticks seem to be everywhere in Hong Kong, some even associated with indoor plants!! Ticks will be part of of your dog’s life in Hong Kong, so you must learn to live around them!
The obvious way to avoid tick fever is to avoid ticks!
There are several “Anti-Tick” medications available ranging from monthly spot ons, three monthly tablets, 8 monthly collars and yearly injections!
Remember Tick Fever is a problem all year round- not just in summer!
Don’t neglect tick prevention – as always prevention is much better than treatment!
