✂️ Why Choosing a Grooming Parlour with Veterinary Supervision is a Game-Changer! 🐾

Your pet grooming experience is about more than just looking good about their health and well-being! Here's why a grooming parlour supervised by a veterinarian is the best choice:

🔹 Expert Oversight: A vet presence ensures your pet safety, especially for pets with medical conditions or special needs.
🔹 Health Monitoring: Veterinary-supervised groomers are trained to spot signs of skin issues, ear infections, or unusual lumps, allowing for early intervention.
🔹 Stress Management: If your pet gets nervous or anxious, having a vet nearby means they can receive calming support or medical sedation when needed.
🔹 Emergency Ready: In case of an unexpected issue (like a nick during trimming or a sudden reaction), a vet is on hand to provide immediate care.
🔹 Tailored Grooming: For pets with unique requirements (e.g., senior pets or those recovering from surgery), a veterinary-supervised parlour can provide safe and personalized services.

💡 Choosing a trusted parlour with skilled groomers and veterinary oversight gives you peace of mind and ensures your pet is in the best hands.

At AnimalQi Veterinary Clinic, we partner with groomers who prioritize your pets health, comfort, and happiness. Schedule your next grooming session today!

📢 Understanding Epilepsy in Pets 🐾

Epilepsy is a condition that can affect our furry companions, causing sudden and sometimes distressing seizures. Knowing the potential causes can help pet parents provide the best care and seek timely veterinary assistance. Here are some common causes:

🔍 Intracranial Causes
Idiopathic Epilepsy: Often hereditary, with no identifiable structural or metabolic cause.
Brain Tumours: Can disrupt normal brain function, leading to seizures.
Inflammatory Brain Diseases: Conditions like meningitis or encephalitis.
🔍 Other Possible Causes
Genetics: Some breeds, like Beagles, Border Collies, and Golden Retrievers, are more susceptible.
Head Trauma: Past injuries can result in long-term neurological issues.
Toxins: Exposure to harmful substances like xylitol, chocolate, or certain pesticides.
Metabolic Issues: Imbalances such as low blood sugar, liver disease, or kidney problems.

💡 What to Do During a Seizure:
1️⃣ Stay calm and remove nearby objects to prevent injury.
2️⃣ Do not attempt to restrain your pet.
3️⃣ Time the seizure – if it lasts longer than 5 minutes or seizures occur in clusters, seek emergency veterinary care.

At AnimalQi Veterinary Clinic, we can help diagnose and manage epilepsy to help your pet live a happy, healthy life. Call us to schedule a consultation today!

🎆 Keep Your Pet Calm and Safe During Festive Fireworks 🎆

Part 2: Create a Calm Environment Indoors
🏠 Set Up a Safe Haven
Prepare a quiet, enclosed space in your home where your pet feels safe. Add familiar items like their bed, blankets, or a favorite toy. A room without windows, like a bathroom, can help reduce noise.

🎶 Background Noise for Comfort:
Consider playing calm music or turning on the TV to help drown out the noise of fireworks. Gentle background noise can create a soothing buffer that distracts pets from sudden bangs.

🌿 Comforting Scents:
Using pet-safe calming sprays or diffusers with pheromones can create a relaxing atmosphere, helping your pet feel more at ease.

🦔🐾 African Porcupines (Ystervark) & Your Dog: Stay Alert! 🐕❗

African porcupines, or ystervarke, aren’t the cute critters you might imagine—they’re large, powerful, and can seriously injure curious dogs. Here’s why they pose a danger and how you can protect your pup:

Why Do Ystervarke Attack Dogs?
African porcupines are defensive animals. If your dog approaches too closely, the porcupine may launch sharp quills to defend itself, causing painful injuries.

The Risks:
⚠️ Deep Wounds: Their quills are strong, sharp, and can pe*****te deeply, leading to severe injuries.
⚠️ Infection & Abscesses: Quill wounds can easily become infected if not treated promptly.
⚠️ Internal Injuries: Quills lodged in the mouth, face, or chest can be life-threatening.

How to Protect Your Dog:
✔️ Supervise Outdoor Time: Especially at dawn, dusk, and night when porcupines are active.
✔️ Secure Your Yard: Close gaps in fencing to prevent porcupines from entering.
✔️ Leash Walks Only: Keep dogs on a leash in areas where porcupines are common.
✔️ Train Recall Commands: Teach your dog to return when called to avoid dangerous wildlife encounters.

What to Do If Your Dog Gets Quilled:
🚑 Do NOT pull the quills yourself—it can cause more damage.
🚑 Stay calm and contact your vet immediately. Time is critical to prevent complications.

🐾 Be proactive! Protect your pet from unnecessary pain and danger by staying vigilant.

💉 If you need advice or treatment, AnimalQi Veterinary Clinic is here to help. We’ll ensure your pup gets the care they need.

🎆 Keep Your Pet Calm and Safe During Festive Fireworks 🎆 Part 3: Prepare with Pre-Event Activities 🚶 Pre-Fireworks Exercise Take your dog on a longer-than-usual walk earlier in the day. Physical activity helps release excess energy and can make them more relaxed by the evening. 🍲 Feeding Before the Fireworks Start Give your pet a full meal in the early evening. A satisfied, relaxed pet is less likely to experience intense anxiety. Be sure to provide fresh water to keep them hydrated, especially if they pant during fireworks. 🎾 Pre-Fireworks Playtime Engage your pet in some fun playtime with toys or games. Physical activity and mental stimulation can reduce stress levels, making them calmer when the fireworks start. #ExerciseForCalm #FireworksPrep #PetComfortTips

In search of health

All my life I have yearned to help animals, big and small. Naturally and through divine guidance I ended up as a veterinarian. It has been such a blessing to assist your animals when they fall ill or when they need a little help to stay healthy. In my almost decade long career I have learnt that healing animals are far more complicated than just prescribing pharmaceuticals or cutting out the diseased parts of the body. Health and healing are more complicated and sacred than understood by conventional medicine. It was a horse in the Dubai Equine Hospital that changed my career path completely. This poor animal has been suffering from back pain for almost 2 years and no diagnoses could be reached. He had undergone every imaginable treatment including back injections, physiotherapy, steroid therapy, magnet therapy and many more...with no relief. Luckily their was an Equine Acupuncturist practicing in the hospital at the time. After 3 acupuncture treatment his pain was completely gone. I was astonished. When I asked the veterinarian how he did it he simply replied: “If you understand that everything is energy you can heal anything”.

This moment started my study in complementary medicine. Being a analytical and open minded skeptic, I ventured into scientific research on the events witnessed. I am now a certified acupuncturist and it is my passion to teach other veterinarians this art in healing. This page will aim to help the pet parent understand the wonderful therapies that are available for your four legged family members. I am a fierce advocate for the integration of these so called “alternative medicine” into conventional medicine not as an alternative but as functional medicine with the ultimate aim in creating personalized treatment plan that suites the animal and owner best.

“If you look closely enough, you will always find hope in your pets eyes”. I hope that through sharing my experiences and knowledge with you, that you can again find the hope in your beloved animals’ eyes.
