25.01.2022 Covid-19 Update Due to recent increased case numbers within the Northern Sydney service area, we have made the hard but necessary decision to return to contactless consultations. When you arrive at NEVS please call 9452 2933 from your car and one of our team will assist you.... When the vet is ready for your consultation one of our team will collect your pet from the car park. The vet will perform a consultation with you over the phone. If you are worried your pet is in a critical condition, please alert our team over the phone. We will come out immediately to admit your pet into the hospital. Please rest assured that through all of this , your pet’s care and comfort is of the highest priority. They will still receive the same level of professional attention and treatment they need to get them back on the road to health (with plenty of cuddles and TLC along the way!). Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping to keep our community safe.

19.01.2022 Easter Pet Dangers - Bad Eggs & Mold So now you're done with your decorated Easter Eggs, where do they go? Food mold, also known as Penicillium spp, is a fungi that grows on aging food. Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and your old decorated eggs will be very tempting for a lot of dogs as they spoil and grow mold. Your dog may try to dig them out of your household trash. They'll also likely be found in garbage outside and compost piles, which may also contain moldy nuts and fruits. Fungal neurotoxins on old food can make pets very ill. Common signs that your dog has eaten mold include vomiting, diarrhoea, increased body temperature, muscle tremours and seizures. If left untreated this is life threatening. If you notice your dog eating garbage contents or old Easter Eggs contact your vet immediately.

18.01.2022 **LEPTOSPIROSIS: confirmed case on the Lower North Shore** With a resurgence of canine leptospirosis, including a recent confirmed case in Crows Nest, we are urging all pet-owners to be aware of this potentially fatal disease, and to have their pets vaccinated if living (or frequenting) within a 5km radius of the Artarmon/Crows Nest area. Leptospirosis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that can cause acute kidney failure and liver disease in dogs. Initial sign...s of infection include lethargy, elevated body temperature, vomiting/diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort. Dogs become infected through contact with rat urine or contaminated water or soil and then can act as carriers, passing it through their urine too to both animals AND humans. This is a zoonotic disease meaning humans can be infected. Inform us prior to arrival if your unwell animal has been in contact with rats, stagnant water (eg. ponds, puddles, lakes), or has travelled recently to any endemic areas (Balmain, Newtown, Crows Nest, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Redfern, or Glebe). Contact your local veterinarian to discuss vaccination if the above recommendation applies to you. A vaccine is given initially, followed by a booster 2-4 weeks later, then yearly to ensure protection.

16.01.2022 UPDATE!!! After emergency tick paralysis treatment at NEVS, this little beauty went on to complete her recovery at Collaroy Veterinary Hospital.

We are so grateful to have such caring followers who were interested in her progress Does anyone recognise this beautiful young lady? She was brought in to us last night by some lovely members of the public. She had a multitude of ticks on her and has been treated for tick paralysis. She is microchipped, but the address is in Strathfield and her owner is uncontactable. We would love to find her owner she is the sweetest cat! Please call 9452 2933 if you know her

13.01.2022 Easter Pet Dangers - Chocolate Chocolate contains 2 toxins, which are caffeine and theobromine. When ingested symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, tachycardia, arrhythmias, seizures, coma and death. Just one symptom indicates the ingestion of a toxic dose which warrants veterinary treatment. Take care these holidays, and keep chocolate stored up high away from your pets. If your pet ingests chocolate but isn't yet showing signs, call your vet immediately for further advice. Often your vet can provide emergency treatment (inducing emesis) to avoid a toxicity.

13.01.2022 UPDATE!!! This stunning boy is now very stable and is being looked after by Pittwater Animal Hospital where he is completing his recovery from tick paralysis. He will be staying calm and quiet and cage rested while awaiting an owner to come forward STRAY CAT A male castrated tabby cat was brought into NEVS. He was found collapsed on a property in Terrey Hills. A large paralysis tick was found on his head. ... Unfortunately he has no microchip and no collar so we are not certain if he is owned by someone or he’s a stray cat. He is undergoing treatment for his tick paralysis. Please contact us immediately on 94522933 if you are the owner. Thankyou.

12.01.2022 WARNING: TICKS We have seen a surge in paralysis tick cases at NEVS over the past few weeks. Without treatment, progression of paralysis and worsening of signs is virtually certain (more critical cases require ventilation) so be sure to have your pet checked over by a veterinarian if they are displaying signs of wobbly gait, lethargy, inappetence/vomiting or breathing difficulties. We recommend using a tick preventative all year round and performing thorough tick searches daily by working your fingers through your pet’s entire coat, paying special attention to their eyes, lips and mouth. If in doubt - a prompt check up is always the safest option.
