25.01.2022 Leptospirosis concerns. Dog owners may have recently heard warnings about a disease called leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is commonly referred to as lepto or the ‘rats diesease’. This is because rats are one of the main carriers of the diesease. It is caused by a bacterium that is prevalent in subtropical, tropical, and wet environments like Far North Queensland although outbreaks of the disease have recently been reported in Melbourne and Sydney. Lepto can infect many animals... including dogs and humans. The organism can penetrate the body through the skin or mucous membranes. It can cause severe damage to the liver and kidneys and can be fatal. Younger animals with less developed immune systems are at the highest risk for severe complications. Clinical signs include fever, muscle stiffness, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, jaundice and weakness. Some dogs exposed to lepto never show overt clinical signs and recover, while any previously infected animal can become a carrier and shed the bacteria in urine for up to a year. Lepto is very uncommon in South East Queensland. We have seen only one case in the past 5 years and that was a dog that had travelled down from North Queensland. Although there is a vaccine available, we do not recommend its use routinely as the disease is very uncommon in our area, dogs often have a reaction to the vaccine and the most popular vaccine is not protective against the most common strains of the bacteria in Queensland. If you are concerned you pet is showing any of the above signs ir would like to discuss this further please don’t hesitate to contact the clinic on 5445 5288.

25.01.2022 Tuesday words of wisdom from Lily the Poodle! It’s not a good idea to help dad with his fishing hooks. While they smell great, they really hurt when you get them stuck in your lip!! Poor little Lily had not one but four hooks stuck in lip! Lucky her owner got her to the clinic quickly where we were able to remove all four. Lily is now resting up on dads bed! Thanks for sending us the great picture Simon!

20.01.2022 Summer beach dangers! Tetrodotoxin - puffer fish - toad fish toxicity. The Animal Emergency Service have already seen their first Tetrodo-toxicity emergency this summer. ... The patient went into respiratory arrest (stopped breathing) shortly after arrival at the vet and required emergency ventilation (life support, where a machine breathes for the patient) until the toxin has time to be excreted from the animals body. The case mentioned above had a great outcome due to the quick thinking owners rushing their pet to the vet. There are 57 species of puffer fish, also known as blowfish and toadfish, found in Australia, with 48 of them found in Queensland. Puffer fish contain a toxin called tetrodotoxin which is one of the most deadly natural poisons. The toxin is found on the skin and internal organs of the puffer fish, and is approximately 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. A lethal dose of tetrodotoxin is smaller than the head of a pin, with one fish containing enough poison to kill 30 people. So it’s a good idea to keep both pets and young children away from these fish. Both cats and dogs have been reported as dying from Tetrodotoxin, usually after ingesting a dead or dying fish that has washed up on the beach or canals. These fish are also often discarded and left on the beach by people fishing. Please make sure your pets are under supervision at the beach and don’t let them eat anything off the beach Early signs and symptoms include: Vomiting Excessive drooling Panting Dullness and lethargy Symptoms will then progress to: Trembling Wobbly walking pattern Blue-tinged coloured gums Dilated pupils Muscle tremors and seizures Quickly signs and symptoms will become more severe to include: Difficulty breathing Unable to blink Complete paralysis of the whole body Coma and death If you think your pet has been exposed to Tetrodotoxin then please call the vet clinic immediately on 5445 5288 for advice.

01.01.2022 Heat stroke warning! The weather is set to heat up over the weekend and we are urging clients to be very vigilant with their pets! Heat stroke can be life threatening. This occurs when a an animal essentially overheats. As the body temperature rises to excessive levels, the internal organs can start to shut down. Some pets are more susceptible to heat stroke. Guinea Pigs, Brachycephalic breeds like Pugs, Bull Dogs, Mastiff’s, Boxers just to name a few. In saying that any p...et can suffer heatstroke. How does it happen? Often it’s by accident, being locked in a hot garage, being locked in a car, lack of shade, knocking a water bucket over or being excercised in the heat of the day. Even if your pet is used to excercising during the day we urge owners to consider this before taking your pet out. There is a very fine line between coping and not coping. Signs of heat stroke include, excessive salivation, excessive panting, vomiting, D+, looking like they are drunk, collapse, bruising on the skin. If you are at all worried about your pet please call the clinic immediately on 5445 5288 What can you do to prevent heat stroke? Always make sure your pet has ample shade, access to clean fresh water, where possible let them inside to cool off in the aircondioning, especially if you have a short faced breed. This does include smalll breeds like Pekingese and Persian cats, though cats do seem to cope a lot better. Do not excercise your pet in the heat of the day. If you can’t place your hand on the concrete and leave it there comfortably for 10 seconds you shouldn’t be walking your dog. Please stay safe and enjoy the sunshine safely! See more
