22.01.2022 Leptospirosis update 28/08/2020 Attention dog owners! There has been another confirmed case of Leptospirosis this week in a dog that lived in Paddington. Ac...cording to medical records this dog was fully vaccinated against Leptospirosis and sadly had to be euthanised due to kidney failure. The vaccine currently used in the Sydney area provides protection against the strain (serovar) known as Copenhageni which has been identified as the causative serovar in dogs infected last and this year in the Sydney area. In other countries other serovars are involved in clinical Leptospirosis hence different vaccines are used. We are still investigating which serovar has been involved in this most recent case as it may be different from those in previous cases. This is the first case of Leptospirosis seen in Paddington. Earlier this month cases in Crows Nest, Balmain and Newtown were reported. Last year we saw 8 cases between May and November and these dogs lived in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Glebe and Redfern. We understand how concerning it is that a vaccinated dog has been infected and died of leptospirosis. Despite this, we are strongly recommending vaccination in dogs living within a 5km radius of Surry Hills, in Balmain, Crows Nest or its immediately surrounding suburbs or if your dog is in contact with rats. Please avoid any rat contact and dont let your dog drink out of puddles. The vaccine has to be given twice 2-4 weeks apart and yearly thereafter. What is Leptospirosis? Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that can cause acute kidney failure and liver disease in dogs. Dogs become infected by contact with urine from rats or indirectly via contaminated water or soil. They can also become infected by hunting and eating rats. Prevention of leptospirosis is achieved by limiting contact to sources of infection and vaccination. Until recently clinical leptospirosis has only rarely been reported in Sydney. Therefore, historically, dogs have not been routinely vaccinated against this disease. Clinical signs can initially be very vague such as lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. Importantly, leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease which means that humans can become infected as well, for example through contact with rat urine or urine of infected dogs, through skin wounds or through the mucus membranes (eg in the mouth).

21.01.2022 Double Bay and Pyrmont Vet hospitals are devastated to be confirming the untimely and unexpected passing of our colleague Dr. Melissa Steiner. Melissa has been a member of our team for the past 12 months. As a group we are deeply distressed, but our hearts are ultimately with her family and friends in the USA. Her lifes journey crossed continents and touched many people. We had hoped she had found a permanent home with us as a professional family, and with the Jewish commun...ity she was so proud of here in the Eastern Suburbs. Melissa was quiet and caring, considered and evolving. Melissa was an asset to our profession, and we are poorer for her loss. We hope for flexibility from our wonderful clients as we come to terms with the enormity of this event. Recent times have been awful. Events such as this confirm the need for us to work together, display patience, model understanding and affirm how lucky we are to be alive- surrounded by people we love and working towards a common goal which is the importance of the human animal bond we cherish. Dr. Sally, Dr. Michelle, Shane, Jacquie, Karina, Abigail, Donna and the rest of our team currently and that have worked with Melissa in the past.

As were sure youre already aware, the CDC, WHO and AVA do NOT believe that household pets can be infectious hosts of this strain of the virus. IDEXX (the worlds leading veterinary diagnostics lab) has evaluated thousands of canine and feline specimens during validation of its new test systems for the COVID-19 virus and had zero positive results. On the other hand- things pets... CAN still suffer from during this possible quarantine period? Ear infections. Gastroenteritis. Seizures. Toxin ingestion. Allergies. ... and the list goes on! What does this mean for us? Veterinary staff are still considered essential personnel- our pets wont stop getting sick just because the timing is bad! Our teams at Double Bay Vet and Pyrmont Vet will still be here to care for your fur babies; albeit with some sight adjustments. This is a work in progress, and we need your help to make things run smoothly! The new system may mean that you might not always be able to see your desired vet at the time you wish; we will try our best to accommodate our wonderful clients but at the same time appreciate your patience as we adjust. We will provide and a kerbside drop off and pick up at both hospitals Please let us know via DM if you have any suggestions or questions- we will still be open as usual at this stage and will keep you updated with any changes. Dr. Sally, Dr. Michelle and the team.

19.01.2022 Sudden changes to our routine: Tips to help your cat adapt With the recent developments due to Covid-19, you may be going through some challenging times. With many people now confined to their homes, this change is difficult for them and their feline friend.... Your cat may now be obliged to share their home with you and your family all day. Normally you have a part-time relationship with your feline friend; you are out of the house for many hours working and enjoying your social life, and your cat can be very happy when you finally come back home. However, in the current situation having all of the family around all day long can be very stressful for your cat. Remember, cats love peace and quiet and being in control of their home and routine. Tip 1) First of all, dont panic! Your cat can pick up on your anxiety, so it is better to limit manifestations of stress and agitation to avoid transferring this to them. Try to use this time to deepen your understanding of your cat and reinforce your relationship. Tip 2) When your cat shows theyre ready, you can play funny games with them and find new ways to be happy together! Tip 3) Pampering your cat is a very comforting activity for you and your cat but we have to be careful with this human behaviour in order not to generate, even unconsciously, any stress or discomfort in your pet! Tip 4 ) You and your family being at home all day could annoy your cat, as they may find it more difficult to find a quiet place to have their cat nap. Make sure your cat can still access their favourite resting places and elevated places where they like to watch what is going on! Try and maintain their need for space and their routine as far as possible. Tip 5) Consider FELIWAY Feliway Diffuser sends a natural message of comfort that creates a peaceful, reassuring environment in the house and helps to prevent and manage the stress in your cat to help you be even happier together! #feliwayathome

14.01.2022 The Outbreak of Leptospirosis With the recent media attention, understandably we have had a few clients worried about the recent spate of Leptospirosis cases in pet dogs in Sydney. While we encourage you to be well-informed, it is important to be aware that misinformation is easily propagated! The facts: ... Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. While the bacteria can be found worldwide in soil and water, there are many strains of the bacteria and it the disease tends to occur much more commonly in specific climates. Dogs most commonly become infected via contact with urine-contaminated water, soil or food. Transmission can also occur through a bite from an infected animal, or ingestion of infected tissues or carcasses. Confirmed cases of leptospirosis in dogs living in Sydney have not occurred for many decades. As a result, most vets in the area do not vaccinate routinely against this bacterial disease. Perspective: There have only been approximately 7 confirmed cases (Sydney-wide) diagnosed over the past 5 months, from Inner-west suburbs including Surry Hills, Potts Point, and Rosebery. While avoidance of risk areas/activities is just as important, we encourage you to arrange vaccination if you feel your dog is at high risk of catching this disease. We are not forcing any clients to get the vaccine, it is optional. The vaccine will consist of 2 immunisations four weeks apart. The cost is $105 for the first injection and $70 for the second. To help with the ongoing investigation into the recent cases, we would appreciate your permission to take blood and urine samples (free of charge) prior to vaccine administration. We are urging clients not to panic and to practice avoidance and vigilance. We hope this allays your fears! With love, the team at Double Bay and Pyrmont Vets

14.01.2022 Happy Australia Day!!! Sunday 26th January CLOSED Monday 27th January CLOSED... We are back to normal opening hours the rest of the week. Have a lovely long weekend everyone.

10.01.2022 ATTENTION ALL DOG OWNERS: LEPTOSPIROSIS UPDATE 24th October, 2019 There has been another case of confirmed Leptospirosis this week in a dog living in Darlinghurst. This dog was not vaccinated against leptospirosis. It had frequented parks in the area before it became unwell and had been rummaging in some leaves direct contact with rats was not observed. Unfortunately, the dog died at another inner city specialist clinic. We are in the process of determining which serovar w...as involved. This brings the case numbers to 9 with 6 cases since May. All were from Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Glebe. So far, the mortality rate is 100%. Double Bay Vet and Pyrmont Vet are both located within the 5 kilometre zone, we now are Strongly Recommend and are Advising that all dogs should be vaccinated against leptospirosis and then have the subsequent Booster.

08.01.2022 Kittens still looking for their homes

07.01.2022 Update on Poppet: She has been fostered out for the last couple of weeks and has settled in well and now owns the sofa She still doesnt love to be touched bu...t is fine around people and not aggressive or scared. So we need to find her a new home where she can continue to grow in confidence. Please call the clinic if you feel you can give her a loving home. 02 82030355 See more

05.01.2022 Poppet still hasnt found her forever home Even though she is enjoying life at her foster care home, we need to find a permanent home. She has never lived with other cats but we think she would adjust to another cat just fine with careful introduction - she was a super mother and tolerated her 6 kittens walking all over her! While she isnt much of a cuddler presently, we think over time this would get better. Its just she had lived rough on the streets for awhile so needs... someone that will be patient with her. In saying that she is very sociable and happy to sit with you all day long! Please call 93634045 if you can give her the home she deserves

04.01.2022 Cats looking for their forever home:

03.01.2022 Meet Leo, he is 9 weeks old and a complete sweetie.. He will be looking to go to his new home next week. Please call the clinic if you can give him a forever home.

02.01.2022 Leptospirosis update 20/08/2019 Unfortunately another dog has died from Leptospirosis at the Sydney uni vet hospital on the 10th of August. The case was confirmed as a definite positive last week and they were able to identify serovar Copenhageni as the strain of Leptospira infecting this dog. Copenhageni is the serovar that we are currently vaccinating dogs for. This case brings the case number up to 7 confirmed cases. Two cases were detected last year and there have been fi...ve cases since May this year. Unfortunately all of these dogs have died or required euthanasia due to a poor prognosis. Cases were all confined to Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Redfern and Glebe. Reports of cases from other areas are false. Infection can occur via intact mucus membranes (mouth, nose and eyes) and abraded skin through contact with soil, water or food that have been contaminated with infected rodent urine. Bite wounds from infected rodents and ingestion of infected rodent tissue can also transmit infection. Clinical signs of Leptospirosis can be very vague initially such as lack of appetite, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. Ultimately this can progress to acute kidney failure and liver disease causing jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin). Therefore, if your dog has been walked in areas of risk or hunts rodents and becomes unwell please seek immediate veterinary attention. The current recommendation is to vaccinate dogs living in areas within a 3km radius around Surry Hills, dogs that go for walks in this area and dogs living in the wider inner west that are known ratters. Two vaccines need to be given 2-4 weeks apart. The current vaccine we are using is covering serovar Copenhageni only. So far we have been able to identify this serovar as the infecting serovar in 2 of the cases and it is unknown if more serovars are involved. Researchers at The University of Sydney are working hard to get further information, investigating all new cases and trying to gather data about the general exposure (seroprevalence) to Leptospira in the Sydney dog population. Therefore we ask all dog owners to please help by allowing your dogs to participate in the research. If you want to help please ask your veterinarian to take a blood and urine sample from your dog before vaccination against Leptospirosis and fill out a questionnaire. All veterinarians in the Sydney area should have received relevant forms. Please also take care of yourself! While no cases of human Leptospirosis have been linked to the current outbreak in dogs, Leptospirosis can affect humans as well! Healthy dogs and cats can shed Leptospira in their urine and are a potential source of infection. Therefore, please avoid contact with urine from your pets, wash your hands after patting them especially before you eat, avoid contact with stagnant water in affected areas and make sure to wash your fruits and vegetables before consuming them.
