23.01.2022 While we are enjoying these warmer days walking our dogs or out in the gardens it’s important to be aware that snakes are out. The most common snake you’ll come across in the ACT is the Eastern brown snake they can be found in our bush lands or backyards. ... The brown snake is identified by its slender body, short rounded head and there color can range from a pale brown to a reddish almost black color. These snakes are highly venomous in fact they are the second most venomous snake found in Australia and the world next to the Inland Taipan also native to Australia. As pet owners we now need to take extra care and mindfulness when exercising our dogs. Avoid walking in long grassy areas and don’t let your pets explore holes or dig under rocks. Keep dogs on leads or a harness when out walking or on bush tracks. If you see a snake in your garden contact your local snake catcher. They will safely remove and relocate the snake into a safe environment. Identifying a snake can be difficult so never assume it is non-venomous. Please don’t attempt to catch or approach the snake but if you can safely take a photo or note the color and markings this will help your snake catcher. Signs and symptoms to look out for if you think your cat or dog has been bitten by a snake can include: * Sudden weakness followed by collapse * Shaking or twitching of the muscles and difficulty blinking * Vomiting * Loss of bladder and bowel control * Dilated pupils * Paralysis * Blood in urine. If you think your pet has been bitten you should seek veterinary treatment. Stay clam and minimize your pets movement when traveling. The sooner a pet is treated for a snake bite the better their chances are of a full recovery. - CVH TEAM

22.01.2022 the the British Bulldog visited us yesterday for some X-rays. Luckily there where no abnormalities found and he was sent home with some pain relief. How adorable is he!

22.01.2022 With Halloween on the 31st of October it’s best to give our dogs a trick rather than a treat. Many families will be going out trick or treating and brining home lots of lollies and chocolates to enjoy but these should be kept away and out of reach from our dogs. ... Chocolate is highly toxic to dogs and depending on the type of chocolate and the amount consumed determines the severity of the toxicity. So why can’t our dogs have chocolate? Chocolate contains an ingredient called theobromine Humans easily metabolize theobromine, but dogs process it much more slowly, allowing it to build up to toxic levels in their system. Hard lollies poses a choking hazard they can easily be swallowed whole and can become lodged in the windpipe it can also break into smaller, jagged and potentially harmful pieces. The stick in a lollipop is also cause for concern, as it can be a choking hazard or get stuck in the throat or in the intestine. Lollies in wrappers are also just as hazardous if consumed in large amounts the plastic, tin foil or other material can become lodged and may not pass through the digestive system and into the bowls. This may result in a surgery to remove the blockage. So when you and your family are sitting around eating those yummy treats don’t be tempted to share them with your dog even if they are giving you the puppy eyes instead get them a dog friendly treat this Halloween. If you think your pet might have helped themselves to some treats or are showing the following symptoms seek veterinary treatment: Initial or minor symptoms of chocolate toxicity may include: * Diarrhea & vomiting * Agitation or hyperactivity * Drooling * Increase in thirst Worsening symptoms may include: * Racing heart rate * High blood pressure * Heart arrhythmias In worse cases or in high doses, ingesting chocolate may cause: * Seizures * Tremors or twitching * Cardiac failure * Muscle rigidity * Collapse * Death We hope everyone has a fun and spooky Halloween Staff pet Dingo has his costume all ready!

21.01.2022 the Australian Shepherd puppy found himself in a bit of a sticky situation today when he decided to taste test some super glue . Luckily Clancy’s owner brought him in straight away and we where able to begin treatment. We firstly wanted to rule out any toxicity from glue ingestion so we ran a comprehensive blood profile in our lab the next step was to take some X-rays of his body focusing on his intestines and trachea to rule out any foreign bodies or obstructio...n to his airways in case he swallowed any part of the glue packaging or the glue itself. With his blood work and X-rays complete we where able to rule out any serious damage internally so our final step was to remove as much of the dried glue from his mouth as we could. Using a dental curette Dr.Shayne worked carefully at removing the dried glue off his teeth . This is a good little reminder to us pet owners that even the most unexpected house hold items can become hazardous to our pets. It’s always a good idea to keep non pet friendly items out of reach for them and if you too have a cheeky puppy at home keep an extra eye out on them when they are exploring. We hope little Clancy decides that glue doesn’t taste too good and won’t go for seconds although the team enjoyed lots of puppy cuddles with his visit . Have a wonderful weekend everyone .
