19.01.2022 Chisel had his heartworm injection at 12 weeks old. It's the best way to prevent heartworm infection. And as we have mentioned before, there have been some positive cases in the area recently, some of those we have treated in our clinics. Follow Chisel's journey on the link below. He truly is growing so fast! And as usual, he took the injection like the good little pup he is!

18.01.2022 Willow got some extra cuddle time after surgery today. Before her desexing we ran some pre-anaesthetic bloods, which came back perfect. Pre-Anesthesia Blood Work helps us identify possible problems with your pet that may not be evident during the physical examination. If your pet has abnormal test results, we may take special precautions during the surgery or even reschedule until the problem is resolved.

12.01.2022 COVID-19 As you all know, there has been an increased amount of coronavirus cases in and around Sydney. Our clinics maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, and we continue to adhere to strict social distancing. Only one person will be permitted in the consulting room with the vet. Social distancing will be observed, which may mean staff members examining your pet in the treatment area, rather than in the consult room with you holding the pet. We still are asking f...or people to call the clinic on the dedicated numbers provided when you arrive for your appointment, rather than having too many people in the waiting room. Were doing everything we can to make sure you wont be left waiting in the cold! The space between appointment times has been increased, in attempt to reduce waiting overall for consultations. Video consults are now longer available. If you have any questions or concerns relating to Covid-19 and our business, then please dont hesitate to get in contact with one of our partners. Please head to our blog on our Covid procedures that we wrote in June. Our procedures and protocols have not changed (except for video consults), and we are still doing everything in our power to ensure everyones safety. And remember, even during such difficult times - your family pet is in SAFE hands! https://www.macarthurvet.com.au/covid-19-coronavirus-updat/

09.01.2022 Some important information about the current rabbit vaccine below.

08.01.2022 Its a scary statistic isnt it! But as we reiterate, dental disease is one of the most common problems in dogs and cats, but it often goes undetected. The problem is plaque, the layer of bacteria and food particles that forms on the teeth. Tartar develops when this calcifies and hardens. Plaque causes gingivitis infection of the gums. Left untreated, it leads to periodontitis, where the infection gets into the tooth roots and damages the ligaments and bones that support t...he teeth. Eventually tooth loss occurs. Bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and cause other problems including heart and kidney disease. Along with visiting us once a year for a dental check - you can also offer your pet Greenies dental treats daily. They help to fight the plaque and tartar and helps to freshen their breath!

07.01.2022 Snake Bites Isnt spring a beautiful time of year! But living in a our "semi-rural area" means we need to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings in the warmer months for snakes and spiders and insects such as bees. Snake Bites can be a serious problem. Here are a few tips to remember:... 1) You should identify the snake if at all possible (remember that its illegal to kill them though). 2) If you know your pet has been bitten by a venomous snake such as a brown snake, red-bellied black snake or tiger snake, you need immediate veterinary help. 3) If youve seen the snake but arent sure if your pet has been bitten, look for signs such as collapse, breathing difficulties, weakness, tremors and convulsions, vomiting, loss of balance and dilated pupils. 4) Your pet should be rested and if you know that it has been bitten on the leg, apply a pressure bandage. 5) Keep your garden cleared of long grass and debris, dont leave clothes and towels on the floor. 6) We also recommend walking your pet on a leash to limit the likelihood of them encountering snakes and take extra care when bush-walking, particularly heading to the beach. The good news is that snake venom detection kits for animals are available, so immediate veterinary attention is recommended for the best results. Hospitalisation and intensive supportive treatment is often required.

07.01.2022 Update on Heidi the wombat: Kirsty and Steve have put their heart and soul into this little girl. In two weeks we will start to dismantle the fixator and repeat xrays. Within 6 weeks she should be walking around and living her best life

07.01.2022 Did you know we offer free dental checks to all of our clients and future clients? We also have $20 off our hills t/d range (dental care) for dental month! Coco took advantage of this promotion this morning Can you guess what breed she is ?

06.01.2022 Rocky the French bulldog and other squishy faced breeds may often have compressed airways, the palate is often too long , comparatively speaking and therefore partially blocks the entrance to the trachea (windpipe). This means that as they inhale and exhale, the air cannot flow freely as it would otherwise. This can be surgically altered with soft palate surgery, which removes the extra over hanging tissue at the back of the throat. Signs to look out for include: Difficu...ltly breathing in hot weather or exercising Snoring when sleeping If you think your pet might benefit from this, please give us a call on (02) 4647 7722

05.01.2022 Our Catteries Heading away to discover more of our beautiful state over the next few months?

At Gregory Hills, we offer luxury indoor accommodation. We have 4 holiday themed suites that face the window, allowing them to sit in the sunshine, and 4 other rooms that are away from the front window. Each suite is large enough to have 2 or more cats if you prefer them together.

03.01.2022 Plants Toxic to Dogs and Cats Now that we have officially entered spring - here is some more info about some plants that have the potential to make dogs and cats very sick Lilies... These flowers may result in acute renal failure and subsequent death if inadvertently consumed by cats. Be sure to remove lilies from indoor flower arrangements and do not plant lilies in your garden if your cats spend time outdoors. All parts of the flower are considered toxic and disease can result simply from your cat grooming pollen off a contaminated coat or chewing the leaves without eating any of it. Aloe Vera When the Aloe Vera plant is consumed it can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Shampoos containing Aloe Vera (such as Aloveen) are quite safe, however direct application of Aloe Vera oil/extract to the skin is NOT considered safe. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Plant Brunfelsia Australis or Grandiflora This plant has emerged as a very common cause of seizures due to toxicity in dogs (particularly in the Wollongong and Shellharbour areas). All parts of the plant are potentially toxic but the leaves and flower heads appear to be particularly tasty to dogs and may be consumed in large quantities. Signs of toxicity include drooling, gagging, agitation and anxiety potentially progressing to life threatening convulsions. Marijuana Consumption of the leaves of a marijuana plant, hash cookies or simply passive inhalation of smoke can result in toxicity to dogs. This can be a frightening experience for dogs. Signs include dilated pupils, muscle tremors, loss of coordination, hyperactivity and hypersalivation. Signs can progress to bradycardia (a slowed heart rate), hypersensitivity and seizures.

02.01.2022 Hi everyone! Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to postpone our Facebook Live session that was happening tonight and reschedule for next Tuesday 1st December at 7:30pm. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to see you all online next week!

01.01.2022 R U OK? R U OK? day is today. Its our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? if someone in your world is struggling with lifes ups and downs. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us.... You dont have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says theyre not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before theyre in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life. R U OK? #RUOK?

01.01.2022 Cuteness over load Charlie came in this morning for his vaccination, worming and flea treatment. Thanks for making our day Charlie
