24.01.2022 The Animal Poisons Centre is often called about dogs and cats that have eaten medications and household items that can damage their kidneys. Some pets may devel...op life-long chronic kidney disease from such a once-off ingestion. Prevention is always best check this list to see if your home is kidney safe for your pet. NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, meloxicam, etc) the number one kidney killer in Australia and New Zealand. All non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have the potential to cause kidney damage depending on the dose and your pet’s individual sensitivity. This is why NSAIDs for people should never be given to a pet without first checking with your vet. Those NSAIDs prescribed for a pet, should be given at the labelled dose. Dogs are curious and if allowed access to bottles of tablets are likely to eat all of them; especially if they are chewable veterinary prescription NSAIDs. Grapes and sultanas (dogs) they taste sweet and dogs naturally have a sweet tooth (have you noticed this?). However, grapes and their derivatives (e.g., sultanas, raisins, currants) can cause kidney damage in dogs. The dose at which this might occur is very unpredictable and therefore we recommend avoiding feeding grapes and grape derivatives to dogs. Lilies (cats) specifically the Lilium and Hemerocallis species. Every part of these plants is considered poisonous to cats including the vase water and the pollen which a cat may get on their face and mouth just from sniffing the flowers. It is best to avoid these plants in houses with cats. Vitamin D3 many people take vitamin D supplements and multivitamins that contain vitamin D. Vitamin D derivatives can also be found in some psoriasis creams and uncommonly in some rodent baits. Dogs in particular are sensitive to the extra vitamin D contained in these products keep them well away from your pooch. Ethylene glycol common in antifreeze/coolant (and other mechanical fluids), it is extremely poisonous to both dogs and cats and they readily drink it from puddles on the floor. Keep bottles locked away and high up on shelves and attend to any leaked or spilt fluid straight away. If you think your pet has been exposed to any of these items, call us on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for a tailored risk assessment and recommendation, including first aid measures. Our service is free for all pet owners.

14.01.2022 The weather is warming, flowers are blooming and spring is in the air! Our snake friends are starting to become more active as they slither out of hibernation ...to enjoy the sunshine. We have already started to see Dogs & Cats rushed into the animal hospital presenting with symptoms of Snake Bites. What can you do to prevent attracting Snakes on your property? Keep your property free from rubbish piles. Keep your grass/paddock areas cut short. Pick up dog/cat food bowls from outside. Keep your property free from objects snakes may like to hide in. Keep your dogs on lead around bushland/swamp areas. Recognising the signs of Snake Bite In Dogs & Cats: A dog's/cat’s reaction, signs or symptoms from being bitten by a snake can vary and may not appear clinically significant for up to 24 hours after the bite occurs. Therefore, it can be difficult to know if your dog/cat has been the victim of a snake bite. It’s important that you act on any suspicions, if your dog or cat has been in contact with a snake please do not hesitate & bring them to the Vet immediately. Please always call your Vet when you’re on the way so the team can prepare for your arrival. Every second counts. Signs of Snake Bite: Sudden collapse followed by apparent recovery Lethargy Muscle tremors, shaking and reduced eye blinking Dilated pupils Sudden onset of weakness/wobbliness/shaking at the limbs Complete paralysis Sudden loss of bladder and bowels Irregular bleeding from the nose, bite site, mouth Discoloured, dark, bloody urine What Can You Do? SAFELY BRING ANIMAL TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY Do not panic, keep calm and stay quiet Do not attempt to catch or kill snake Do not attempt to wash wound or bandage wound (time is of essence) Call your vet while you’re on the way

06.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart to announce,that today our much loved and caring vet Dr Hubert , closes the door on one of the most significant chapters of his life.

With so many long nights, so many animals, so much blood sweat and tears .... but most of all the biggest ,kindest heart and compass...ion a human could show toward all creatures great and small. Dr Hugh will be greatly missed by all his colleagues, clients and patients. We wish Dr Hugh and his family all the very best in their new chapter and crazy adventures . Much Love
