25.01.2022 Most of us cant keep our hands off choccy treats at Christmas time, but sometimes our pooch's find them irresistible too. Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound which causes vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures ,abnormal heart rhythm and neurological effects. Dogs are much more sensitive to theobromine than humans are and metabolise it much slower, making it toxic to them. The severity of chocolate toxicity depends on the amount and type of chocolat...e, dark chocolate contains the most theobromine, followed by milk and white. Symptoms seen depend on the amount eaten and the size of your dog but can range from gastrointestinal upset, hyperactivity, tremours, seizures and can be fatal in severe cases. Treatment ranges from emesis (making them vomit), administering activated charcoal, intravenous fluid therapy, medications and hospitalisation. We must also take into consideration any packaging that may have been ingested. If your dog gets a hold of any chocolate, call us immediately for advise on what to do next. If you can, let us know exactly what they have eaten, how much and bring the packaging in. See more

22.01.2022 Gorgeous Ollie came in for his final puppy vaccinations today. As you can see here, he was not worried by his visit to the vets and spent most of the time snoozing on the consult table. We offer complementary nurse consultations to go through all the information for owning a new puppy! Plus we love puppy cuddles!

22.01.2022 Happy Howl-oween! We want to see your pet's best halloween pics, their tricks or their treats! Show us in the comments!

22.01.2022 November is Toxicity Awareness month at Doubleview Vet Centre. These are just some of the most common household toxicities that we deal with in clinic. If you ever suspect your pet has ingested any of these toxins, give us a call immediately for advice over the phone.

20.01.2022 Congrats to these cuties, who graduated from our puppy school with For Paws! They’re all off to a great start!

19.01.2022 Did you know our DIY Dogwash is open 24 hours?? Willow says the water is not too cold and not too hot - just right!! We also provide shampoo & conditioner :) Our dogwash takes gold coins or notes - change is available from reception when we are open

17.01.2022 As the weather is heating up our snake friends will soon becoming more abundant around Perth. Our friends over at Perth Vet Emergency remind us of the signs and symptoms of snake bites. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake or acting strangely after being in areas where snakes are likely to be found, seek veterinary treatment immediately. Delays in treatment for snake bites can be fatal.

15.01.2022 Merry Christmas Eve to all our clients and pets! We hope your milk and cookies make it until Santa arrives tonight!

13.01.2022 Rat and Mouse baits are highly toxic to our pets. Unfortunately their appeal to rodents is also appealing to our cats and dogs. Rodenticides are anti-coagulants which inhibit the clotting ability of the blood and cause uncontrolled bleeding. Symptoms can be slow to develop and include lethargy, collapse, pale gums, bleeding around the mouth, bruising and respiratory issues like coughing and panting. Time is crucial in the treatment of rat bait ingestion, which can be from ...ingestion of the baits themselves or ingestion of rodents who have had access to baits. Treatment depends on the timing and extent of ingestion but can include emesis (making them vomiting) activated charcoal, blood testing, medications and in some cases hospitalisation and supportive care.

12.01.2022 Spring has well and truly sprung and we are seeing many baby birds being brought the clinic, however, unless they are injured or in imminent danger they should be left in the wild. It's normal for juvenile birds to be flapping around and seemingly unable to fly as they are learning how to get airborne, and usually the parents will be nearby to take care of them. Wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians should not admit healthy baby birds as it actually reduces their chance of survival long term. The longer an orphaned animal spends in care the less likely it will survive post rehabilitation.

12.01.2022 What should you do if you find a baby bird? It is very normal for a young bird to spend a few days on the ground as they are learning to fly - the parents stay nearby to feed and protect the babies until they can fly on their own. This means that unless you can see any obvious injuries, or they are in an unsafe environment, most baby birds should be left where they are for the parent birds to raise naturally. Here's some great information about baby birds: Here's a great guide to help you - if you're not sure just give us a call 93411200

10.01.2022 If you have been in to see us recently, you may have noticed a few new faces around the clinic.

We have also said goodbye to the lovely Kerry who has gone on to work in new role within the industry, we know she will be missed by us and clients alike! Last but not least, we welcome Teneille, who has joined us in a nurse and admin role. Welcome to DVC!

09.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all of our clients and patients from the team at Doubleview Vet Centre

06.01.2022 Lilies are highly toxic to cats and can cause fatal kidney damage if consumed. This includes all lily species, all parts of the plant and even just a sniff of pollen can be enough to cause irreversible renal damage! If you suspect your cat may have had contact with a lily plant you should call your vet immediately for advice.

02.01.2022 Did you know that some of our palm species are highly toxic to dogs? Cycad, Zamia & Sago palms are common in our gardens and parks but were you aware of their dangers to our canine friends. Unfortunately some dogs, like our lovely patient Willow, find the berries a sneaky irresistible snack. Thankfully her pawrents were quick on the case and called us for immediate advice. As she had just eaten them, we were able to induce vomiting to clear them from her stomach, then adminis...ter activated charcoal to help bind any toxins in her gastrointestinal system. She will require some blood tests to ensure that no further treatment will be required. As with all toxicities, early intervention is critical. If you think your dog may have ingested any palm material, call your vet for immediate advice. It is recommended to remove any of these palms from your garden if there is any chance at all your dog may eat or chew on them. See more

01.01.2022 Permethrin is commonly found in many dog flea treatments and also in some household pest sprays. Unfortunately, cats lack the appropriate enzymes to break down this chemical within the body, this can be fatally toxic to cats! Perth Vet Emergency give us some advice regarding permethrin poisoning and what you should do if you cat is accidentally exposed.
