23.01.2022 Did You Know.........Baboons are some of the worlds largest monkeys, They eat fruits, grasses, seeds, bark, and roots, but also have a taste for meat. They eat birds, rodents, and even the young of larger mammals, such as antelopes and sheep. Their canine teeth (big pointy ones at the front) are as big as a Lions!

15.01.2022 It is pet politeness month. If you dog has a phobia about loud noises, thunder, lightning, or your cat is urinating in strange places then maybe you need to discuss these issues with your vet. There are a number of products on the market today that are there to help with these stressful situations. Anxiety and phobias in dogs An initiative of the Australian Veterinary Association... Anxiety can cause problems, just like people, dogs can suffer anxiety fear of a possible threat or danger. Anxiety in certain situations is normal and even useful as it can help the dog react quickly to a threat. However, too much anxiety, or being anxious about the wrong things can have bad consequences. An anxious or fearful dog is more likely to bite. Signs of anxiety are subtle and often missed by people. You might hear people say, He didnt give a warning before he bit me. Signs a dog might be feeling anxious include: licking lips looking away panting moving slowly or away from you ears to the side refusing to eat moving around continuously being on guard barking continuously aggression or biting destroying furniture urinating in the wrong place. If this sounds like your dog, it needs to be assessed and helped individually. You should talk to your vet about what to do. The earlier you get help, the better for your pet. Polite Pets Month is proudly supported by Royal Canin and CEVA Animal Health Pets can develop phobias A phobia is an excessive, uncontrollable fear reaction.Your pet has no control over what it does and many people will refer to it as a panic attack or that the animal has lost it. The tendency to develop phobias is often inherited and will probably develop no matter how we handle the pet. Anxiety and fears may develop into phobias if the pet is repeatedly exposed to very intense or fearful events. The best time to deal with fearful or anxious behaviour in your pet is as soon as it starts. By managing the environment, using behaviour modification and appropriate medication, we can often prevent the pets fear from developing into a severe phobia. Your vet will be able to design a treatment program especially for your pet. If this sounds like your dog, it needs to be assessed and helped individually. You should talk to your vet about what to do. The earlier you get help, the better for your pet.

07.01.2022 Anyone have any funny animal jokes that they would like to share with us?

07.01.2022 Never assume that a change in behaviour or habits is simply due to old age; it may be due to a treatable condition. For example a pet wasnt leaping on and off the beds anymore, and they didnt want to go for long walks. The dogs family just thought that this dog had just suddenly succumbed to old age. In reality when the vet did a geriatric workup they discovered that the dog had a thyroid condition and arthritic back pain. After treatment of a thyroid replacement hormone... along with pain and anti-inflammatory medication for the back they were back in business. Regular veterinary examinations are important for overall health at any age. Annual examinations are what you are used to but depending on your pets age and health more frequent exams every 6 months may be necessary. A consultation with your vet is the first thing to do as this will help to determine the best health care maintenance program for your dog/cat as he/she ages. What things should I expect as my dog ages? Each dog, like each human, is different. Some signs of old age are: * Your pet starts to slow down or show some stiffness. * Reduced hearing/loss. * Eyes turning cloudy/bluish, sudden blindness. * Muscle atrophy. * Bad breath/Bleeding gums/Dental disease.* Head tilt/staggering. * They start to turn grey around the muzzle.* Increased urine output. * Change in weight/appetite.* Increased thirst. After the age of about 7*, pets are at a greater risk of developing age-related conditions such as such as arthritis, diabetes, Cushings disease, cancer, kidney, heart, and liver diseases. Your pet may seem perfectly healthy, but there could be problems starting to develop internally that you wouldnt know about unless he has blood work done by a veterinarian. Annual blood work can show early signs of diseases. Treating the early stages of a disease gives your pet a better chance of recovering because your vet can start the right medication or special diet that will help your animal. * 5 years for large and giant breed dogs dogs over 25kg bodyweight. Things you can do to help your older pets are:- Keeping their weight down (through good nutrition and regular exercise). Keeping their teeth clean (next to obesity, periodontal disease is one of the most commonly seen in the vet clinic). Regular check-ups with your veterinarian. Being observant about symptoms that might indicate a health problem and getting prompt and appropriate veterinary attention. We at Emerald Veterinary Clinic have in place a senior pet screening program to help with your older pets. The program will include: (1) A thorough, hands-on physical exam.(2) Blood tests. (3) Specialized tests depending on your dogs health history. (4) Urine test. If you think any of these signs relate to your pet or you would like to start a senior pet screening then you should give us a call on 5968 6600 to arrange a consultation for your pet.
