You got it so right!!
Phone/Online๐ฑ consultations be like....
It genuinely is very hard to diagnose and treat an animal on the phone๐น๐คณ๐พ. They can't talk to us to tell us what's wrong and without an actual physical examination with diagnostics, we can't come to the right diagnosis.
Especially during the worst part of the Pandemic ๐ฆ , we really had to try to make this work and modify our protocols. Hopefully that's all behind us now!
We even do long distance consults in other states for exotics๐ฆ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐. It's very challenging and very frustrating at times. But we can make it work if we work with the Veterinarians already present there and they become our eyes, ears and hands.
Let's practice good medicine! Please bring in your pets for examination and treatment.

Who doesn't enjoy a good manicure ๐
? Unfortunately this is s very rare occurrence where our lovely cat patient is so compliant!
From a very young age, puppies and kittens should be made accustomed to their paws, ears and mouth being touched. It makes veterinary visits stress free and makes it very easy even for pet owners to trim nails ๐พ, clean ears ๐ถ and brush their teeth ๐ธ๐ชฅ

True freedom is watching birds free to fly where they want to, in their environment.
True patriotism lies in protecting the beauty our country already has.
Our wildlife is losing out because of Habitat loss. It's losing out because of the illegal pet trade. By buying illegal Wildlife, we support poachers. We are the reason they will go extinct.
Alexandrine parakeets, Ring neck parakeets, Indian Star Tortoises, Soft Shell turtles, Indian Roof turtles and many more losing out because we want to keep them as pets.
Unfortunately we don't have law's strong enough to protect our Wildlife. We can make it better. STOP keeping Indian Wildlife as pets. STOP feeding wild birds in your window. If you find any injured wild bird or animal, please contact a Wildlife NGO.
Let's be true patriots and give our Indian Wildlife the rights and freedom they deserve.
Happy Independence Day๐ฎ๐ณ
PS. How gorgeous do these wild parakeets look? I have never fed them but they always come to see me for a chat and bring friends along.

Acetaminophen/Paracetamol ๐ is a very common medication we take for headaches and fevers. It is very easily available over the counter because it is safe to use in humans at the appropriate dose.
This is not the case with cats (and many other birds and animals). This little 2 month old stray kitten came to the clinic because she had been unwell for a few days. Now she couldn't even stand and had trouble breathing. On getting into her history, we found out that a feeder who feeds the building cats, had given her Crocin because she looked unwell. While the feeder had been well meaning, the dose given was way over the lethal dose. Even very small doses can cause damage in cats. Despite putting in everything to save the little one, we lost out on a gorgeous kitten that day.
Acetaminophen causes severe liver damage. It reduces the ability of the Red Blood Cells to carry oxygen to vital organs to the body.

For Vets: If the case is brought in within 4 hours of ingestion, it's best to induce vomiting and then administer Activated charcoal. Give fluids to correct the hypovolemia. N-Acetyl Cysteine is an antidote that can be given IV along with Vitamin C to protect the liver from further damage. In very severe cases, a blood transfusion may be required.

It's always the highlight of our day when we get to release wildlife where they belong! This masked Booby was found by someone on the beach and brought in. They said it wasn't able to fly. After some much needed TLC, it was ready to be wild and free!
Never try to keep wild animals or birds as pets. They deserve to be in their natural habitats. Being an animal lover does not mean you get to keep animals at home, it means you do what is best for them. In many cases that means leaving them alone and where they belong.

It's World Turtle Day! Let's protect our native turtles.
How can we do this? By not buying them to be kept as pets and supporting their illegal trade. Many of our Turtles are losing the battle to extinction because of their illegal smuggling.
Keeping turtles is not easy. It requires alot of care and most of them are kept in inappropriate conditions.
They suffer from conditions that would never happen to them in the wild. They live a life of suffering and die early deaths.
Red Eared Sliders are native to the USA. They have become an invasive species in our ponds and lakes because people thought it was alright to "release" them there. They are bought when they are very small and people don't realise how large they can get and they are then abandoned in well, ponds etc. They eat up the natural resources that the native fauna feeds on, and slowly they die of starvation.
Be responsible. Do not buy turtles as pets. They deserve better.

This White Breasted Waterhen was rescued by Shali Birds
Had probably been blown out of its home by the strong winds of the cyclone. Luckily it did not have any major damage and could be released after a thorough health check.
Also notice the amount of trash and plastic we dump into our water bodies daily! It not only affects the animals and birds, it affects our health as well. Please do not litter. You do not need to throw garbage/flowers into water bodies. It only makes things worse.

What does that mean? It means that they can only breathe from their nose and not from their mouth.
This is because their epiglottis is placed behind the soft palate. Only a little air can go to the lungs from the mouth.
If there is any obstruction to the nares, it is a serious condition since they won't be able to breathe.
Nasal discharge, wheezing, sneezing are all symptoms that warrant an immediate visit to your Veterinarian. Rabbits will only try to breathe through their mouth when they have no other choice and it usually never ends well.
So keep an eye on those busy noses!
Look at that little nose twerk ๐ ๐ฝ
