17.01.2022 Happy Wednesday everyone

14.01.2022 Meet Squinty! Squinty accidentally cut himself last week on a trailer. Initially it looked like a simple stitch up but on further examination it was a little more complicated. Dr Kwan decided that the best course of action to prevent a stitch up failing was to manage Squintys wound open & then re-assess. ... This was a great choice because after 48hours tissue that initially looked healthy became necrotic. Squinty underwent a simple procedure to debride the unhealthy tissue & a tie-over bandage was placed. Bandaging plays several critical roles in wound management, including protection against infection, contamination, or trauma; application of topical medications; and maintenance of an appropriate wound environment. Dr Kwan decided that a tie over bandage was the most appropriate for this case. To place a tie over bandage Squinty had 8 small stitches placed around the wound, once the dressing is applied we then place a ribbon through the loops zig-zagging side to side. Squinty has his bandage changed every 2-3days & sits happily while the nurses feed him treats. His wound is looking fantastic & will be closed over in no time No major surgery required. Good job Squinty

01.01.2022 ** URGENT HOME REQUIRED BEFORE 15th DECEMBER ** Meet Aladdin! DOB: 01/03/2019... M/C: 900079000401102 This absolutely stunning ginger boy is looking for a new home due to no fault of his own, his owners came to us extremely upset as they are moving overseas & can not afford to take him with them. Message from owners: Regarding Aladdin’s behaviour he is very adoptive and calm. Doesn’t like to go outside at all 100% indoor. Also he loves to watch outside, he can sit beside the window sometimes the whole night. He always sleeps on my side of the bed under my blanket when I am out for office the whole day. He loves his wet food especially fancy feast. He loves his tuna treats which comes in pouch. He never ever makes any trouble with his litter. Not a foody but bit picky with his foods. I always treat him like my baby boy and I need a home where he will be safe and will get a mum who is going to treat him like their own kids. Vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, wormed, flea treated & litter box trained. If you can give Aladdin a home where he will continue to be loved & spoilt then please fill out our online application form below: https://form.jotform.com/allforclaws/applicationform #gingercat #gingercatsofinstagram #adultcat #adultcatsneedlovetoo #adoptdontshop #availableforadoption #urgenthomesneeded #pleasehelp #catrescue #kittenrescue #hillsdistrict

01.01.2022 HEATWAVE ALERT: Native animals are well adapted to Australian summer weather but they can still suffer during heatwaves. Here are some practical things you can ...do to assist our wildlife over the coming days: - Put clean, cool water out for wildlife in shady places. https://www.wires.org.au//wildlife-fact/water-for-wildlife - Keep a box in your vehicle with a cotton pillowcase and a shallow dish and water bottle to fill the dish with cool water. Please always offer wildlife water in a shallow bowl to lap as needed rather than pouring especially from above. - If you find an animal suffering heat stress and it is safe to do so please take to the nearest vet immediately and handle as little as possible. - Flying-fox colonies can be impacted by heat. Please remember to NEVER touch a bat. If you see a bat of flying-fox on the ground or low to the ground please do not approach but provide shade gently mist intermittently and call WIRES 1300 094 737.
