22.01.2022 | CUSHING’S DISEASE IN DOGS | Cushing’s disease can be life threatening, so it’s important to know how this disease affects our pets and the signs to look for. Proper diagnosis and a clear understanding of the disease is important in the long term management. Cushing’s disease is a condition in which an overproduction of hormones are produced by the adrenal glands (hyperadrenocorticism). The adrenal glands produce many vital substances that regulate several body functions. On...e of the most important substances produced by the adrenal gland is cortisol, which helps the body combat stress. Any decrease or excess of this hormone can cause a major disruption in a dog’s body, which can be life-threatening. Since Cushing’s disease is an overproduction of cortisol, this condition can cause serious health concerns among those affected. Though the one definition of Cushing’s disease is an overproduction of cortisol, there are a few different ways that a dog can become a Cushing’s patient. Knowing the exact cause of the disease is imperative in knowing the prognosis of each individual dog. The symptoms of Cushing’s disease are very often similar from case to case. Increased thirst Increased appetite Increased urination Thinning of the skin/ chronic skin infections Hair loss Slow hair growth Enlarged abdomen/ pot-bellied appearance Lethargy Excessive panting While Cushing’s disease may seem like a daunting diagnosis, it is important to keep in mind that this condition can be managed. An early diagnosis of the disease can help to prevent a poor outcome, so watching your pet closely is extremely important. Make sure to monitor your pets appearance, along with their food and water consumption, as this can help you determine if there may be a medical problem brewing.

17.01.2022 THE TICKS ARE HERE! Just because it's cold, doesn't mean these little critters aren't around. Some dogs may be presented for lethargy, inappetence, coughing, gagging, or grunting (as though in pain). Some dogs may be presented for regurgitation or vomiting, which may persist throughout the course of the disease. ... Similar signs are seen in cats with tick paralysis but affected animals are typically more distressed and agitated. Initially there is also often a change in voice, especially noticeable in Burmese and Siamese cats. In domestic pets tick paralysis is just as life-threatening (though more slowly) as snake bite. If your pet presents with ANY of the above, please call us immediately, without delay! It's time critical to offer your pet the best outcome. There are also a number of very effective and affordable products we sell for dogs and cats including chews and spot on's (for those fussy cats and dogs who aren't keen on tablets).

13.01.2022 The Australian Kelpie dog’s ancestors were black dogs known simply as ‘Collies’ - Collie dogs were imported to Australia to work with livestock in the 1800s and were crossbred with other breeds of dog (once thought to include the native Dingo) to form the Kelpie breed we know today. Kelpies are known for their boundless energy, enthusiasm and work ethic. For this reason, they are not recommended for relatively inactive families as they require lots of physical and mental stim...ulation each day. A bored Kelpie can develop behavioural problems, so owners are encouraged to keep them well occupied. Kelpies are easy to train and are fast learners - not only are they great workers, but they excel in agility trials due to their ability to jump extremely high. Breed Traits Height: 46-51 cm Weight: 14-21kg Lifespan: 11-15 years Breed Traits: Intelligent and very active

They want to stay active and need a home that can match their energy. If you can fulfill the Bengal’s need for exercise, you’ll have a smart, loving cat who can keep you on your toes.

07.01.2022 | CAT PARVO | Virtually everyone has heard of canine Parvovirus, but have you heard of Feline Enteritis, or Feline Panleucopaenia? Panleucopaenia is caused by Parvovirus in cats, and the canine and feline Parvoviruses can cross infect, meaning cats can be infected with the dog strain, and dogs can be infected with the cat strain.... Panleucopaenia typically causes signs such as reduced appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea and a fever. As the name states, pan essentially means ‘across the board’ and ‘leucopaenia’ means low white blood cell count- i.e Panleucopaenia means a widespread deficiency of all white blood cell types, which normally fight infection. Without treatment it can rapidly become fatal! It is also important to remember that Parvoviruses are quite resistant, they can last in the environment for a long time, and can be difficult to kill, with most typical disinfectants not destroying the virus. If your cat or kitten is unwell and you believe they may have this disease, please call our friendly staff as soon as possible, and also advise them that you believe your pet may be contagious.

07.01.2022 | FELINE CALICIVIRUS | One of the most important things to know about Calicivirus is that it is very contagious. The virus is shed by infected cats in saliva and oculonasal discharge. Or during acute disease, by all types of body fluids. Have you ever seen a cat sneezing? Most people would consider it cute. But, it’s important to be aware that it can be a symptom of a serious upper respiratory infection. One of the most common of those in cats is Feline Calicivirus Infection.... But what are the symptoms, how is it treated and how is it prevented? Take a read below! Calicivirus is also that it can at times be asymptomatic. Meaning that despite infection, cats show no symptoms. As well as cleared cats. Meaning cats that have been sick and have since recovered, can also be shedding Calicivirus, up till 75 days after recovery. The risk of infecting others is minor. As fewer body fluids are coming from the cat, but albeit the risk is still there. Once a cat gets exposed there will be an incubation period. Meaning the period where there are no symptoms yet. This will last from 2-6 days before the cat develops clinical symptoms. Hereafter, symptoms will start to appear, often from day 14-21. If you have any concerns about your cat sneezing, please give our friendly team a call.

06.01.2022 | PARVO EEEEEEEK! | Unfortunately, we have seen a few Parvo cases here and there are also other clinics around Brisbane and Ipswich that have also seen multiple parvo cases. For those of you who aren’t aware, Parvo is a VERY serious illness that has a fatally rate of over 80% for puppies who are not vaccinated. Parvovirus infection is a viral illness that causes vomiting, bloody diarrhoea and weight loss in dogs. In puppies aged between six weeks and six months. Even with ...treatment it can be fatal. Parvo is also highly infectious. The virus is passed in the faeces of dogs sick with parvovirus. The virus can live in the ground for up to 12 months, which means it can be picked up from most areas that are visited by dogs (think dog beach, dog parks). The virus can be spread on people’s shoes or car tyres and does not require a host. Vaccination is still the most effective safe guard against the lethal virus. The vaccination against parvovirus is highly effective. It’s important to remember dogs require repeat vaccination to maintain immunity. If you suspect your pet has parvo, please call us immediately on 07 5549 0624.

05.01.2022 Many human babies are born with blue eyes, but the color of the iris develops over their first year or two, and they are likely to change eye color as they get older. One of the most fun facts about kittens is that they are also born with blue-gray eyes. Some breeds, like Siamese, will retain their blue color, while most will change pigment during the first year of life. After one year, they should have grown into their permanent eye color.

05.01.2022 | ANAL GLANDS | Have you ever noticed your dog scooting across the carpet on his butt? Or a weird smell coming from your furry friend? Of course, there can be many reasons, but one of the most common causes are blocked anal glands. This condition can be quite uncomfortable for your dog. The anal glands are two small sacs placed on either side of a dog’s anus. Every time your dog goes to defecate, these glands empty a smelling liquid. This liquid tells other dogs everything t...hey need to know about your dog. Including gender, age, health, and much more it’s quite impressive! Luckily though the glands can often be easily expressed by our friendly team.

03.01.2022 | SCOTTISH FOLD | The Scottish Fold is a sweet, charming breed. They is an easy cat to live with and to care for. They are affectionate. Their tails should be handled gently. Some of these cats are known to develop stiffness in the tail that can cause pain if it is mishandled or accidentally handled in a rough manner. ... They are a good eater and are not as active as other breeds, so nutrition control is critical. The Scottish Fold needs some interactive play with the parent in order to keep in good condition. While the coat is an easy one to care for, they appreciate being brushed as part of play.

03.01.2022 Happy Birthday Dr Terry. Wishing you a great day!

02.01.2022 | STORM SEASON | Storm phobias can cause many different problem behaviours. Some of the more common signs are escape (sometimes resulting in injury), inappropriate soiling, vocalizing, destructive behaviours, trembling, hiding, pacing and salivating. Many dogs that have separation anxiety also have other behavioural problems and the most common of these are storm phobia. However, this is not always the case and sometimes phobias may occur independently of other behavioural d...isorders. What can I do to help treat the storm phobia? Checking weather reports can provide some degree of predictability for high-risk days for storms and events such as New Year’s Eve will reliably increase the risk of exposure to other potential noise sensitivities. Desensitization is exposing the dog to the scary stimulus at a very low level so they are not scared. Then, the level is gradually increased as the dog exhibits an ability to cope. Counter-conditioning is getting the dog to have a response that is incompatible with the phobia. For example, playing with or feeding the dog treats while there is a noise CD on at a low level. Anti-anxiety medications are often needed. They should be given 1 hour before the storm develops to have a chance to work. If you'd like to discuss any of the methods mentioned above, please give our friendly team a call on (07) 5549 0624.
