25.01.2022 We often get asked if pets can get poisoned by eating poisoned rodents - while rare it can happen. Lots of our native predators can get secondary poisoning too - especially owls and other raptors so it is best to avoid using ratbaits at all.

24.01.2022 TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET TRAVEL TIP 2: Place your cat carrier in an elevated, secure location at home with comfortable bedding inside, where it may be regarded as part of the furniture. This allows your cat to become more familiar with the carrier and see it as a place of refuge and comfort.

22.01.2022 The Animal Poisons Helpline is often contacted regarding pets that have chewed on or swallowed the flowers, leaves, or stem of the frangipani. The frangipani (...Plumeria genus) is a common attractive flowering plant found in gardens throughout Australia. The milky sap is irritating and chewing on or swallowing parts of the plant can result in gastrointestinal upset which may include irritation of the mouth, drooling, decreased appetite, vomiting and diarrhoea. The iridoid and terpenoid toxins are particularly concentrated in the stem bark and therefore pets that have chewed on or swallowed the stem are more likely to develop symptoms than those that have chewed on or swallowed leaf or flower material. In most cases, symptoms will resolve soon after wiping out the mouth with a damp cloth and giving a small drink of water or lactose-free milk. Pets that have ingested an unusually large amount of plant material or those with persistent vomiting or diarrhoea should be assessed by a veterinarian. The Animal Poisons Helpline is free to all pet owners in Australia and New Zealand. If you are concerned your pet may have been exposed to a poison, phone 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for advice, even if your pet looks well. For pet poison updates direct to your email box, sign up to our mailing list at animalpoisons.com.au/stay-up-to-date

22.01.2022 As the cold and wet days linger through winter, remember to keep your pet warm, dry and comfortable. Carefully place your pets bed out of the weather and away from draughts, with a dry towel or rug to keep them warm. Coats can also help to protect your dog from the rain and keep them warm. Colder weather can also exacerbate arthritis in older pets with stiff joints, so chat with us today if you have any health concerns about your pet during winter. With a little TLC, your pet can stay warm and cosy while outside gets wet and cold.

22.01.2022 With rent, bills and all meals supplied our pets get it pretty good. There is, however, the risk that our pets can overeat if their food is too readily available, which can lead to obesity and other health concerns. To help prevent overeating, only give your pet access to food at designated meal times for a limited period. Keep your pet active with exercise and stimulation activities, so that theyre not only focused on food. Speak with us for advice on how much food to feed your pet, as sometimes food volume can be reduced.

22.01.2022 Although COVID gave us all a free pass on 2020’s resolutions, there are some simple new year resolutions you can make for 2021 that are good for you and your pet. Consider walking your pet in new areas, such as exploring a different part of your neighbourhood or visiting the beach. Try brushing your pet’s teeth daily, as teeth brushing is an effective way of reducing bad breath. If you don’t already, make a habit of playing or walking your pet daily.

20.01.2022 Although often thought of as pets for children, rabbits and guinea pigs are personable and affectionate animals that make great pets for adults too. A high quality, hay-based diet is important to ensure the health of these animals, as is appropriate housing and company. Guinea pigs don’t cope well on their own and need to live with other guinea pigs. If you’re thinking of bringing a rabbit or guinea pig into your family, contact our friendly team for advice.

20.01.2022 The cleaning is finished so time for some kitten fun before going home.

20.01.2022 Poor Leo came in this morning with a very sore red eye. We found this huge grass seed under his eyelid. He was feeling much better once it was removed. We have seen so many dogs with grass seeds this spring - causing abscesses, stuck in paws and in ears. It’s essential to keep weeds under control in your yard (ideally remove them before they start seeding) and avoid them when out walking too.

19.01.2022 We had a bucket of fun this evening when these cuties came in for their first vaccinations.

19.01.2022 If your pets coat is looking a little worse for wear since winters end, dont fret, skin and coat health can be maintained with just a few simple steps. Firstly, ensure your pet is on regular flea control and fed a good quality diet. Wash your pet in a gentle, pH-balanced shampoo and only as often as needed. There are numerous skin conditions that can affect pets, so visit the clinic or call us today if you notice any new or unusual changes to your pets skin conditions.

19.01.2022 As the weather starts heating up, you might be wondering if you still need to use jackets and coats to keep your dog warm at night. If your dog has a short coat or low body fat, they will be more sensitive to the cold and will benefit from a winter jacket for longer. A good rule of thumb: if you see your dog shivering, or if the temperature is under 10 degrees, they will still benefit from a coat at night.

15.01.2022 Have you adopted a cat from Cat Haven? Your beloved kitty could be the next top model in the 2021 Cat Haven calendar!

15.01.2022 Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? While this year has been more unusual than most, one thing Australians can look forward to is Christmas with family and friends. Ensure your pets have a safe Christmas by keeping an eye out for common hazards, such as Christmas trees, decorations, gift ribbons and BBQ skewers. If you think your pet has ingested something it shouldn’t have, contact us immediately.

15.01.2022 How often you should wash your dog depends on their breed, lifestyle and skin health. If your dog is a short-coated breed that lives outside, they probably only need to be washed with gentle dog shampoo twice a year. If you have a long-coated breed, or a dog that lives inside, or one that goes swimming regularly, you might want to wash more often. Dog’s don’t need to be bathed weekly, unless they have a skin condition that requires medicated shampoo.

14.01.2022 Heat stress is a risk to all pets, but particularly dogs and those kept in cages, such as rabbits and birds. All pets must have access to shade in a well-ventilated area, as well as constant access to cool, fresh water. Dogs should only be exercised in the early morning or evening. If your pets show signs of heat stress, such as open-mouth panting, collapse, or excessive salivating (dogs), contact us immediately. Let’s stay safe this summer.

14.01.2022 We are closing today at 2pm so our hardworking team can gather for our staff Christmas celebration. For any after hours veterinary emergencies please contact Waves on 9412 5700.

14.01.2022 Nothing can bring an otherwise tough dog to their knees like a torn nail. Torn nails can bleed dramatically, but the real issue is the exposed bundle of nerves and blood vessels in the ‘quick’, which can lead to significant pain and infection, if left untreated. It’s best to bring your dog into the clinic if they’ve torn a nail. If there is a lot of bleeding, you can gently wrap their foot in a towel and bring them straight down.

12.01.2022 TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET TRAVEL TIP 1: Always transport your cat in a robust carrier with comfortable bedding, that ideally opens from the front & top. Your cat will feel more secure if you cover the carrier with a towel or blanket.

11.01.2022 Did you know that small dogs are more prone to dental disease? This is because often their teeth are overcrowded - they may have the same number of teeth as big dogs in a much smaller mouth, especially those with short noses or flatter faces. Regular dental checks are essential for al pets - call to book a FREE dental check this month!

11.01.2022 House plants are a great way to bring life and colour to your home but not all plants are compatible with pets. If youve recently gotten new plants (or a new pet), check this list to make sure they arent toxic: - Lilies (including peace lily and lily flowers) - Oleander - Ivy - Sago palms... - Rubber tree plants - Philodendrons - Lantana See more

10.01.2022 Does your cat get anxious when its time for a trip to the vet? Fortunately there are steps you can take to help make their experience a little less stressful. Get your cat used to their pet carrier before their appointment with us by practicing putting them in the carrier for short periods of time. You can also create a positive association for them by sneaking a few treats into the carrier. Speak to us about calming medications and pheromone sprays that could help keep your cat calm for their next visit with us.

09.01.2022 Some foods are delicious for us humans but very unhealthy for our pets. Steer your pup clear of chocolate, grapes, sultanas, onions, garlic and macadamia nuts, as they are all toxic foods for dogs. Some pets can also be lactose intolerant and become sick if they consume dairy products, like milk or cheese. If you do feed your pet dairy products, only feed in small amounts as a treat, and stop if any vomiting or diarrhoea occurs. Speak to us for further advice on which foods for your pet to avoid.

09.01.2022 Many dogs are tempted to play with salbutamol inhalers. They are often left on bedside tables or in bags on the floor. They are made of plastic, like many toys,... and have saliva on them which makes them smell good. Salbutamol is helpful for people with asthma as it causes the airways to relax and open up. This occurs through activation of beta receptors (present in many places around the body - not just in the airways). Most salbutamol metred dose inhalers contain 200 sprays, and therefore a punctured inhaler can rapidly deliver very large amounts of medication directly into a dogs mouth and lungs, leading to life-threatening poisoning. When this occurs, there is an overstimulation of the beta receptors as well as a significant movement of potassium into cells throughout the body, leading to dangerously low blood potassium levels. These effects can result in several complications including a fast heart rate, low blood pressure, a change in the way the heart beats, agitation and possibly damage to the heart muscle, seizures and weakness or paralysis which can affect breathing. To avoid accidental poisoning of your pet, keep inhalers out of reach and preferably locked away in a cabinet. Keep bags closed and off the ground. Never give your pet a human medication unless instructed to do so by your veterinarian. If your pet has been playing with an inhaler, or punctured one, call us for advice even if your pet appears normal. The service is free for all pet owners: 1300 869 738 (in Australia) or 0800 869 738 (in New Zealand).

09.01.2022 Ziggy was in for his post op laser session this morning after his castration yesterday. Ziggy has a retained testicle so his surgery was a little more complicated than usual. Therapeutic laser is used post surgery to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation, and to speed up the healing process.

08.01.2022 If your pet has a thick or double coat, youll notice them start to shed as the winter weather comes to an end. Groomers can help to remove the dead hair from your pets winter coat or if you are keen to do it yourself just make sure you use a brush that is gentle on the skin. Brush in the direction that the hair grows and if you encounter a mat, gently untangle it with your fingers. If your dog has several mats, take them to a groomer for assistance.

07.01.2022 Murphy was recently sterilised and her owners found the perfect onsie online to protect her surgery site and avoid having to use a head collar to prevent her licking her sutures. Check out Suitical recovery suits.

07.01.2022 With many of our communities able to celebrate Fathers Day this weekend, we anticipate an increase in calls about the following hazards to pets. Check out the ...list, keep an eye out for them at home and keep your pet safe: - High fat foods (e.g., pork crackling, sausages, drippings from barbeques, processed meats, etc) - Nuts (especially macadamia, pistachio, pecans and walnuts) - Skewered foods - Xylitol (an artificial sweetener found in confectionary and baked goods) - Chocolate - Alcohol - Grapes, raisins and sultanas - Onions, garlic and chives (especially leftover food that may contain them, as they will be particularly attractive to pets) - Batteries - Ribbons and string (e.g., from gifts) - Human medications (especially if there are visitors entering your home, they may keep medications in their bags or place them on a bedside table) If you think your pet has been exposed to any of these items, call us on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for a tailored risk assessment and recommendation, including first aid measures. Our service is free for all pet owners. You can learn more about what we do at www.animalpoisons.com.au

06.01.2022 When travelling with dogs in the car, it’s important they are adequately restrained for both their safety and yours. Many car restraints for dogs aren’t thoroughly tested for safety, with reviews by Choice and the NRMA previously failing many of the available products as unsafe for people, pets or both. Make sure you research car restraints before buying and purchase a good quality restraint that has been thoroughly safety tested to protect both you and your pooch.

06.01.2022 The perfect spot to be on this cold blustery afternoon. Are your pets snuggled up somewhere warm?

04.01.2022 Have you recently brought home a new puppy or kitten? Whether you got them from a breeder or a rescue, it’s always a good idea to bring a new pet in for a health check. A thorough physical exam can pick up any issues that might need to be addressed and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about caring for your new pet. We love meeting new family members and welcome them to our practice!

03.01.2022 TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET TRAVEL TIP 3: When your cat is in the carrier, consider the journey from their perspective. While walking and driving, try to keep the carrier as still and secure as possible, so they are not shaken about and frightened. Feliway is a pheromone product that will help reduce travel anxiety and keep your cat calm in the car.

03.01.2022 Little Karen has joined the Office team a bit later in the season. This little girl has fitted in perfectly despite being a little shy at first. She was found in a garden after being abandoned by her street cat mum. She will need a quiet household in order to develop her confidence but should soon settle in. She is available for adoption.

02.01.2022 Lost in Ferndale. Young entire male tabby cat with white chest/paws (short to medium hair). Not microchipped and no collar. Escaped whilst trying to bring into the clinic for a check up. Lives in Riverton so could be trying to make his way home.

01.01.2022 Do you have a cat that vomits? Although vomiting can be caused by medical conditions, one normal cause of occasional vomiting in otherwise healthy cats is hairballs. As cats self-groom, they ingest a lot of hair that is normally passed in their faeces, but sometimes this hair is vomited up. If you find your cat vomiting or retching frequently, in large volumes, or is unwell, make an appointment with us today.
