25.01.2022 Anyone tried this or a similar disguise??

23.01.2022 Did you know that cats can be desexed as early as 12 weeks and usually 12-16 weeks. They really need to weigh a minimum of 1.3kg due to the increased anaesthetic risk. Desexing is important for a variety of reasons, including avoiding unwanted litters, reducing the risk of serious diseases and types of cancers and helping prevent undesirable behaviours. If you have a female cat, desexing her early is particularly important. Female cats can become pregnant from only 4 months of age, and once they are in heat, they often stay in heat until they mate with a male cat. This means constant yowling, scratching at the door and attempts to escape your house. We recommend desexing cats at 4 months old. Chat to us today about desexing your female cat.

21.01.2022 Indy is one of our beautiful elderly patients At 19 years old he has been around a long time and we were concerned when he became very fussy with his food. We admitted him into hospital for some tests including blood tests and imaging. ... Here he is having an ultrasound to examine his internal organs. What a cool cat he is! We were very pleased that only mild changes were seen in his intestines and he was able to be sent home the same day with some medication

19.01.2022 Congrats to Skye, Millie and Argo!

19.01.2022 Pablo is modelling his new haircut and we think he looks very smart! However - the reason he needed a haircut was more serious than just wanting to be a bit cooler over summer. Pablo came in to the Matraville Veterinary Practice very wobbly on his back legs. We found a tick attached and he was showing the early signs of tick paralysis. The short clip was necessary to look for any other ticks. ... Pablo was treated with tick anti-serum and we are very pleased to report he is recovering very well. We thought this was the ideal opportunity to warn all our clients on the dangers of tick paralysis. Signs of tick paralysis include:- wobbliness or weakness in the legs, trouble swallowing, vomiting, change in bark or meow and laboured breathing. Tick paralysis can be extremely serious and even deadly in some cases. Prevention of tick paralysis is always preferable. There are a variety of products available to prevent ticks in dogs and cats. Our friendly staff are more than happy to discuss tick prevention options for your pets. Please contact the Matraville Veterinary Practice if you have any concerns regarding ticks and your pets. 1300 628 838

15.01.2022 Chubby cheeks and a squishy face. The perfect combination

13.01.2022 We love hearing where our patient's names come from. This lovely little Whippet pup is named Akira.

12.01.2022 Canine covid humour

11.01.2022 Did you know? When your dog is carefully choosing the perfect place to do his business, it is because they prefer to go poop in alignment with the Earth’s magnetic field.

11.01.2022 Who else can relate?

10.01.2022 WARNING to all our clients. We have received a report that a dog was poisoned with rat bait at Pioneer Park, Malabar this week. Very sadly this dog died. ... A packet of rat poison was found near to the toilet block. There is a bowl for dogs to drink from close by. It is thought that the dog drank water contaminated with the poison. Rat poison affects the body by stopping the blood from clotting. Signs of poisoning include pale gums, weakness, collapse, blood in urine or stool, bruising of the skin, lethargy and reduced appetite. Please contact Matraville Vet Practice on 1300 628 838 if you have any concerns about your pets regarding possible poisoning or any other unusual clinical signs. We sincerely hope that no other pet or family is affected by poisoning in the area but warn owners to be vigilant. Feel free to share this information with people you know with dogs in the area.

08.01.2022 Canine anxiety is something us pet parents surely deal with at some point in our pup's life. Anxious and fearful behaviours are common in canine patients and typically manifest as separation anxiety, storm and noise phobia, or aggression (directed at humans and/or other dogs). Short-term stress response is healthy, think fight or flight. However, when the response is prolonged, physical and emotional pathological conditions may develop, decreasing their quality of l...ife and potentially shortening the pup’s lifespan too : Hiding Ears pinned back Pacing Vigilance Inappropriate elimination Excessive panting Drooling Lip licking Yawning Vocalization (cries, whines) Shaking Tail tucking : Redirect pup to obedience exercises (i.e. agility) and fun activities (i.e. food dispensing and puzzle enrichment, including snuffle mats, Kongs, West Paw puzzles). Minimize the intensity of an anxiety-eliciting stimulus (i.e. reduce the volume of a particular noise phobia by incorporating white background noise with classical music or audio books, gradually decrease the distance between the dog and a stranger...) Counter-conditioning: consistent and repeated pairing of an unpleasant stimulus with a positive stimulus until a positive association is formed, i.e. storm-phobic dog associating a treat with thunder. Create a safe haven space for your pup to retreat to throughout the day. We hope this was helpful! . . . . . #matravillevet #veterinarian #sydneyvets #bestvet #smallbusiness #supportlocal #cutedog #dogsaremyfavoritepeople #dogfriendship #petstagram #ilovemydog #dogstagram #lovedogs #doglover #instapuppy #instadog #puppylove #dog #dogsofinstagram #furriends #dog #petcare #petparent #lovemypet #dogtips #doggrooming #instafacts #dogfacts #dogeducation #petparentingtips #doganxiety See more

08.01.2022 - : Never leave your pet inside your car. Vehicles heat up to dangerous levels quickly in the summer months. Make sure your pet always has ready access to fresh water so they don't gulp down too much all at once.... Try to walk them early in the morning or after sundown, avoid the hottest hours! Monitor constantly! Puppies and kittens, flat-faced dogs, elderly pets, overweight pets, pets with pre-existing medical conditions or pets that are new to a region and have not experienced extreme heat before, are all at higher risk of heatstroke. Signs like excessive panting or wobbly legs tell you there's something wrong. If you need more information or help with your furry friend don't hesitate to call us. 1300 628 838 525 Bunnerong Rd, Matraville See more

06.01.2022 How to puppy-proof your house? Like a curious toddler, puppies and kittens are eager to explore - and chew - their new environment. This makes ‘puppy proofing’ your house essential. Make sure that: ... (1) all cables and cords are tucked away, (2) food is sealed in containers stored out of reach, (3) rubbish bins are sturdy and unable to be tipped over and (4) anything you don’t want chewed is put away.

04.01.2022 Luna was a little cutie who came in for a vaccination and medication for car sickness. She is such a unusual breed - a schnauzer cross cocker spaniel

03.01.2022 Breed of the Week - The Miniature Schnauzer! Developed in Germany, Schnauzers were originally intended to be medium-sized multipurpose farm dogs that were able to rat, herd, and guard. Over time, farmers decided that they wanted smaller, more compact dogs for ratting. They’re INCREDIBLY intelligent making them easy to train and the best type of dog to teach tricks! They’re also extremely affectionate and love their humans to bits, preferring their hoomans to be around most of... the day for lots of cuddles and playtime. So, who here has themselves a small but mighty Miniature Schnauzer?
