20.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? What it takes for us to process prescriptions for your pets If you’re wondering why we ask you to ring ahead when possible to arrange your pet’s medicationit is to enable us to perform a dispensing process that can often take some time to complete. As with picking up a prescription from the chemist it can take quite a while so rather than waiting around, ring and order first to ensure a quick, hassle free pickup. Unlike pharmacies, we do not have a vet on stand...by solely for the purpose of dispensing medications so we often have to wait until they are available to ask for authorisation. In order for you to arrive to collect your pet’s drugs from the front door, the prescribing vet must first access your pet’s patient history, confirm that the medication is being used correctly, check that they are up-to-date with any blood tests that may need to be performed, assess whether the dose rate is still appropriate (there are multiple reasons this may need to be re-adjusted including weight changes, efficacy, method of delivery), if it is an unusual drug we need to check that we have it in stock (we might have to order these in to guarantee the longest possible expiry date) and occasionally have to send away to get it specifically compounded. This is why we generally ask: How your pet is going? Are there any changes? Do you feel as though the medication is performing as it should? (Usually owners are very aware if something is not quite right). We then enter it on the computer and double check the directions on the label and it’s finally ready for collectionphew! Please let us know immediately if you notice any negative changes in your pet’s behaviour, in particular if vomiting or diarrhoea occursthese could be symptoms that the medication is having a negative side-effect and we may need to re-assess your pet quickly.

07.01.2022 Atopy (Allergic skin disease) Atopy is a hypersensitivity reaction which occurs when genetically predisposed dogs (and occasionally cats) are exposed to various allergens eg; pollen, dust mites, mould and common garden plants. Atopy can occur in any breed of dog however some are predisposed eg Staffordshire terriers and Labradors. Atopy is the second most prevalent skin disorder in dogs (after flea allergy dermatitis). Diagnosing A...topy begins with a thorough clinical exam and history collection by your veterinarian. It is important to rule out other causes of dermatitis such as food allergies and parasitic infection (mites and fleas). Clinical signs usually manifest within the first few years. Itching often leads to self trauma and inflammation, resulting in skin thickening, redness and infection. Face, ears, paws and the thinly haired areas under the abdomen, armpits and groin are our most commonly affected. It is possible for some pets to have desensitizing vaccinations. This requires allergy blood testing, performed in clinic, prior to referral for intradermal skin testing performed by a specialist dermatologist. Treatment is aimed at achieving a comfortably itchy dog, rather than a dog that doesn’t itch. This can be achieved via several different techniques and medications. Many allergies are seasonal, particularly in Spring, therefore treatment may only be required at certain times of the year. The first step in atopic skin disease is ensuring you have good quality flea and mite control. Flea washes, powders and most collars are ineffective products. Spot-on or tablet treatments are available in clinic at all times. Symptoms of atopy: Constant scratching Red rash- often on paws,tummy or tail base Hair loss Chewing or biting at irritated areas Itching does not improve after treating for fleas If you have any concerns about your pet and the health of their skin please don’t hesitate to contact the Camperdown Veterinary Centre to book an appointment.

03.01.2022 SNAIL BAIT TOXICITY The active ingredient in most snail baits is metaldehyde. When eaten, the effects of the toxin can occur in a matter of minutes up to a few hours later, dependent on the type of bait and how much is eaten. Some formulations need only a tablespoon of bait to be potentially fatal. As with most ingested toxins, young dogs are more at risk because of their willingness to eat strange things. However dogs of any age are at risk. Cats generally are fussier eaters..., but occasionally we will get a cat that presents with snail bait toxicosis. Clinical signs of poisoning include profuse drooling, fast heart rate, muscle tremors, staggering, and eventually seizures and death. Green coloured vomit and faeces may also be seen. Onset of clinical signs occurs soon after ingestion, death can occur after a few hours from respiratory failure or from excessively high body temperatures due to uncontrollable seizures. There is also a possibility of organ failure several days after exposure - if your pet survives the initial episode. Treatment if clinical signs are present involves sedation (occasionally an induced coma may be required) to stop the seizures and to flush the bait out of the stomach. In severe cases animals may need to be sedated for several days to stop the seizures. Early detection is crucial and may mean that simply making the dog vomit what was ingested could be enough. As with all toxins, prevention is much better than cure. Avoid placing baits where your pets have access to them. If your animal is seen to have eaten any bait, early treatment can be lifesaving. EVERY MINUTE COUNTS, SO PLEASE RING 5593 1077 IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOUR PET MAY HAVE INGESTED SNAIL BAIT.
