25.01.2022 My skin is dry and thinner my coat has become coarse and it takes longer to come out when the season changes. And my nails don’t wear down like they use to! They’re preventing me from balancing properly and they get in my way when we go walking. I need a little extra care with grooming these days! Older Dogs experience skin, coat and nail changes, and it’s important that we give our best friend a helping hand with more regular GROOMING. Your older dog might not be as ...likely or able to groom like he used to. It’s important to increase how many times a week you brush out your dog’s coat and help him stay clean and feeling great with recommended shampoos and conditioning treatments. Grooming, scratching and massaging is a great routine to get into. Not only will you be more likely to notice any bumps, lumps or strange changes, it’s also a wonderful bonding opportunity. Because your dog is less active your dog’s nails will not file down of their own accord like they use to and may become more brittle. More frequent nail trimming is required to ensure they are balancing their weight equally on each limb. If you’re not comfortable trimming your Doggo’s nails make an appointment and bring your dog in for a regular pedicure. If you need advice on skin and coat changes give us a call to discuss options for skin and coat health.

20.01.2022 Edit: Great news Arlo has been found!! We need your help to spread the word.....There is a scared little chihuahua that is lost in the Underwood/Springwood area. Arlo’s family are very worried and would love to have him home for the weekend.

20.01.2022 This gorgeous pair of Malamutes sure love our outdoor consult area! We understand that some dogs get nervous when visiting the vet clinic and this area has been an excellent option for such cases.

20.01.2022 Experience and speed of diagnosis can make the world of difference to a pet. Moana is an energetic Staffy who normally is bouncing off the walls. When her owners brought her into the clinic, she was feeling a bit off and had suddenly started vomiting. Dr Sarah was able to use an ultrasound to identify the cause. Moana had swallowed a rock which was now lodged at the start of the small intestine just past the stomach. Dr Sarah & Dr Julian performed the emergency surgery within a few hours and safely removed the rock. We are happy to report that Moana made a speedy recovery, so much so that 8 days after surgery her owners took a road trip to north Queensland, as they were relocating.

18.01.2022 Brrrrrrrrrrrr, has the colder season come early? I feel the cold more easily now and I need some extra warmth. As your dog gets older, they begin to feel the cold a lot more. It’s not as easy for them to regulate their body temperature. The energy your dog will use trying to stay warm on a colder day will make him more predisposed to other diseases. Helping keep your dog’s body temperature up will help minimize joint and muscle stiffness and help ward off other disease...s as well. If your Doggo spends time outdoors during the colder months they will likely need a coat to help keep her warm, a nice Cozy bed and more time indoors. Closely monitor your dog’s environmental temperature and watch for signs of your dog being cold such as shivering or shaking, whining, signs of anxiousness, seeking places to shelter, hunched posture with tucked tail or lifting one paw off the ground are all signs of discomfort. Make sure you dry your Doggo down if wet, provide a jacket or a sweater, a nice cozy warm bed and plenty of indoor time beside the fire or the heater.

15.01.2022 WE ARE STILL OPEN Considering the recent local COVID-19 positive case, we need your help in implementing the following measures so that we can continue to provide your pets with the healthcare they need. 1. Clients are asked to wait outside and give reception a call on 3808 1085 on arrival. A staff member will then collect your pet for their appointment. Our vets will talk with you via phone or will come outside to meet with you. ... 2. We are continuing our strict and rigid hygiene protocols in house to ensure your safety and ours. Thank you for your understanding and patience at this difficult and uncertain time. Stay Safe!

13.01.2022 This gorgeous girl is named Clover and her dedicated owners brushes her teeth every day! Looking at her mouth you would think she was 3 years old, but she is 9! July and August are our dental focus months. Contact us for a free dental check as all dentals performed before the end of August will receive a $50 discount.

12.01.2022 Our vets are pleased to be back consulting in their consultation rooms. Every now and then, they may need to step out the back so a nurse can help hold a pet and thus maintain social distancing, but rest assured your pet is in safe hands.

10.01.2022 This is sweet Lucy, who recently had an orthopaedic surgery done by Dr Julian to help her walk better as she had a dislocating kneecap. This surgery involves deepening the cartilage groove that the kneecap sits in and correcting the insertion of the kneecap tendon. This resulted in it being in better alignment with the use of a metal pin to hold it in place. Six weeks after her surgery Lucy was able to go for walks around the block and by 12 weeks she had full use of the leg and was back jumping on and off the couch.

08.01.2022 Peppa is a sweet, 6-year-old Bull Arab. She came into the clinic today to see Dr Julian about her storm fears. Most dogs that have storm fears have generalised noise fear in the background. Often their reaction is to either stand and bark at the storm or escape from the storm and run away. Access to the house is often crucial for dogs during a storm, so they can ‘escape’ into the house. Each dog is different in terms of where it feels safe within the house, but generally the...y prefer somewhere dark, insulated from noise and where there are other smells to compete with the smell of the storm such as a wardrobe, ensuite and laundry. A plugged-in Adaptil diffuser in these areas will help greatly. Many dogs also benefit from anti-anxiety meds (that do not sedate) given to them early enough before the storm hits (the BOM app works well to predict this). Thunder jackets, reward-based training with treats, Zylkene and gentle massage are also helpful. In Peppa’s case she generally looks calm like she is in this photo when on her anti-anxiety meds, however her owners have difficulty getting home from work in time before the storm hits. So, we are trialing a longer acting medication that can be given earlier in the day.

08.01.2022 We are pleased to be able to formally introduce Shelby who is one of our friendly Saturday morning hydrobathers. Aside from this, Shelby also works at Daisy Hill Vet in a volunteer role during the week, gaining vital work experience for her future career, as she embarks in 2021 on a 4 year journey to complete a Bachelor of Veterinary Technology at the University of Queensland. You can learn more about her on our website https://www.daisyhillvet.com/personnel/shelby-hammond/

06.01.2022 Is it cold in here, or did your pet just have surgery? Hypothermia (low body temperature) is a hot topic for small patients. There are increased risks of surgical and anaesthetic complications if a pet gets too cold. For this reason, we closely monitor our patient’s core body temperature throughout anaesthesia and recovery. It has been shown that this helps with the recovery time and wound healing. During surgery and recovery our patients are wrapped in a device that envelops their body with warm air - cutely enough it is called a hugger. We also use a heated breathing circuit which heats the air that the patient breaths in, and essentially warms the patient from within.

04.01.2022 Congratulations to our latest Puppy Preschool graduates (Daisy, Harry & Mini) who are all as clever as they are cute! Since we have started to run our classes outside in our fully fenced car park, Nurse Tammy has found that the in increased space allows puppies to focus more on training as they are not as distracted by the other puppies, and we can maintain social distancing.

01.01.2022 LOST! Dolce, one of our patients, has gone missing from her home in the Shailer Park/Daisy Hill area. If you find her, please call Daisy Hill vet on (07) 3808 1085 ... She is a very loved family pet and we would love to help reunite her with her family. See more
