24.01.2022 KELPIE Beautiful Australian Kelpie Arkie going for a walk a couple of hours after her desexing surgery today Did you know ... The first dog known as a Kelpie was a black and tan female pup with floppy ears bought by Jack Gleeson about 1872 from a litter born on Warrock Station near Casterton in Victoria, owned by George Robertson, a Scot. This dog was named Kelpie after the kelpie, a mythological shapeshifting water spirit of Celtic folklore. In later years she was referred to as "Gleeson's Kelpie". The Australian Kelpie was originally bred to have the energy, intelligence, and independence to herd livestock all day in the hot Australian climate without much need for supervision. They retain those qualities to this day. Leaving them home alone for long periods of time can spell disaster. Their natural herding instincts need to be contained and used properly from an early age; otherwise, they may end up nipping at the heels of children, other pets, and even guests. But with time and training, they can make loyal companions who excel as watchdogs and work tirelessly at any task.

23.01.2022 Is your female dog not desexed? Sadly we have had two cases of Pyometra in the last couple of days. Pyometra is defined as an infection in the uterus. The uterus is also known as the womb.... It is a serious and life threatening condition that must be treated promptly and aggressively. This condition is extremely painful for the pet & causes severe illness. Stabilization, surgery & hospitalization can be in excess of $2000 depending on the intervention required. We can prevent Pyometra by desexing our female pets. If your pet is not part of a responsible registered breeding program please consider having them spayed to ensure they live a long, healthy & happy life. Desexing is a routine day procedure & they are back to normal activity levels within a few days. Desexing costs $200-$400 depending on the size & age of your pet. Its never too late so even if your older gal is still entire please consider having a health check to see if she is able to undergo a simple procedure to prevent this deadly infection. If you would like to discuss desexing your pet please feel free to give us a call & speak to one of our experienced nurses who can answer any questions you might have. 96269561

22.01.2022 The Engage-Disengage Game is one of the fundamental skills I teach all of my clients to play. Although this game was first set up for fearful, anxious and reac...tive dogs- its a really great way to set up positive choices and behaviours for your dogs even without behavioural problems. We will be playing this game from weeks 2-4 at Puppy School, with various distractions that your puppy will more than likely come into contact with at some point in their life. Let's be proactive and set our dogs up to succeed rather than wait for a problem to arise. To enrol into puppy school please go to www.gooddogk9care.com.au Quakers Hill Veterinary Hospital

22.01.2022 This February is DENTAL MONTH! Did you know four out of every five dogs and cats over the age of three years have some sort of dental disease which becomes more severe with age. This can be a real problem for pets and owners because it can lead to more serious problems such as illnesses related to the heart, liver and kidney. ... You should check your pet’s teeth regularly as pets often won’t show pain. Even pets with sore gums, an infected mouth or broken teeth will continue to eat so you may not notice they have problems. call us on 96269561 to book a dental check

22.01.2022 SHIHTZU Stunning RUBY DID YOU KNOW ... The shih tzu originated in Tibet, probably back around the 7th century, and they may have simply been the smallest of the Lhasa Apsos there. Given as gifts to the Chinese emperors, the breed developed into the dog we recognize today. Fanciers speculate about crosses with Pekingese to shorten the face as well as selection for the smaller Lhasa-type dogs. The name shih tzu means "lion dog" in Chinese, which further confuses the ancestry because lion dog usually denotes the Pekingese. The Chinese royalty kept and bred shih tzu and, when the British arrived, the breed made its way to England and then on to the United States. Unfortunately, the Communist takeover in China wiped out most of the native stock. No one disputes that these charming little dogs were intended as companion dogs. Their primary function right from the start appears to be acting as delightful company.

21.01.2022 Quick reminder to avoid a vet visit this holiday season Every year we have lots of very sick animals in hospital with pancreatitis from eating ham so please even if your dog has had no problem in the past please DO NOT feed them ham. Stay safe everyone

21.01.2022 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

20.01.2022 ITS DESEXING MONTH DID YOU KNOW Desexing your female dog before the first or second heat cycle significantly reduces the risk of developing mammary tumors later in life. ... Mammary tumors are extremely common in dogs; sadly approximately 50% of them are malignant (cancerous). We all want our pets to live a long, happy life. Desexing is one way we can be responsible pet owners & reduce the risk of health complications later in life. This September we are offering discounts on all desexing procedures for cats & dogs. Give us a call 96269561 or email us [email protected] to book.

20.01.2022 Leptospirosis update 28/08/2020 Attention dog owners! There has been another confirmed case of Leptospirosis this week in a dog that lived in Paddington. Ac...cording to medical records this dog was fully vaccinated against Leptospirosis and sadly had to be euthanised due to kidney failure. The vaccine currently used in the Sydney area provides protection against the strain (serovar) known as Copenhageni which has been identified as the causative serovar in dogs infected last and this year in the Sydney area. In other countries other serovars are involved in clinical Leptospirosis hence different vaccines are used. We are still investigating which serovar has been involved in this most recent case as it may be different from those in previous cases. This is the first case of Leptospirosis seen in Paddington. Earlier this month cases in Crows Nest, Balmain and Newtown were reported. Last year we saw 8 cases between May and November and these dogs lived in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Glebe and Redfern. We understand how concerning it is that a vaccinated dog has been infected and died of leptospirosis. Despite this, we are strongly recommending vaccination in dogs living within a 5km radius of Surry Hills, in Balmain, Crows Nest or its immediately surrounding suburbs or if your dog is in contact with rats. Please avoid any rat contact and dont let your dog drink out of puddles. The vaccine has to be given twice 2-4 weeks apart and yearly thereafter. What is Leptospirosis? Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that can cause acute kidney failure and liver disease in dogs. Dogs become infected by contact with urine from rats or indirectly via contaminated water or soil. They can also become infected by hunting and eating rats. Prevention of leptospirosis is achieved by limiting contact to sources of infection and vaccination. Until recently clinical leptospirosis has only rarely been reported in Sydney. Therefore, historically, dogs have not been routinely vaccinated against this disease. Clinical signs can initially be very vague such as lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. Importantly, leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease which means that humans can become infected as well, for example through contact with rat urine or urine of infected dogs, through skin wounds or through the mucus membranes (eg in the mouth).

20.01.2022 Meet Simba This handsome boy presented to the surgery because he was blocked and couldn’t urinate. Luckily Simbas owners picked up the signs quickly and were able to rush him into hospital where Dr Jasmine was able to place a urinary catheter to relieve the obstruction and empty his bladder- providing life saving emergency care. Simba came back to visit this week, and we are happy to report he is doing well and back to enjoying his ear scratches and cuddles. ... A blocked cat is an emergency! Signs include - Straining to urinate or dribbling - Frequent trips to the litter tray with no urine production - Painful abdomen - Blood in urine - Urinating outside the litter tray - Restlessness, crying or hiding - Loss of appetite - Lethargy Male cats are at high risk for blocking because they have narrow urethras, and urethral spasms can block the flow of urine. Other causes include: mucus plugs, crystals and calculi (bladder stones that lodge in the urethra), or a condition known as FIC. When a cat cannot urinate the bladder becomes over filled, substances that should usually be excreted build up and can cause kidney damage and potentially bladder rupture. Most blocked cats are hospitalised for several days before removal of the catheter. Once the cat is urinating normally he can return home, likely with pain medication as well as medicine to relax the urethra, and a special diet.

19.01.2022 ROTTWEILER We had some very cute visitors today Did you know! ... Rottweilers rank as one of the most ancient breeds. They accompanied the Romans through Germany, driving their cattle and guarding outposts. Many were left behind and, in the town of Rottweil in southern Germany, they became the breed we know today. This intelligent and extremely protective dog needs a strong, firm hand. The breed has retained their guardian roots and can be very protective of family and property, but properly socialized Rottweilers can be good family dogs.

Paralysis Ticks are life threatening for our pets. It is important to understand the dangers, signs of ticks & how we can prevent them....Continue reading

16.01.2022 One of the many important reasons to desex your female pet PYOMETRA Pyometra is a life threatening secondary infection that occurs as a result of hormonal changes in the female's reproductive tract.... Following a dogs heat the hormone progesterone remains elevated for up to two months and causes the lining of the uterus to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur for several consecutive oestrus cycles, the uterine lining continues to increase in thickness. The thickened, cystic lining secretes fluids that create an ideal environment for bacterial growth. Pyometra is very common in female dogs & cats who are not desexed & sadly it is something we see regularly. Desexing your pet is a routine day surgery & they walk out the door with tail wagging. Typically desexing is $200-400 (depending on the size of your pet) including all take home medication & surgical fees. Pyometra causes immense pain, discomfort & illness for the pet. It can be fatal in some cases. Pyometra can result in emergency surgery, blood tests that may need to be repeated to monitor progress & up to a week in hospital on fluids & intravenous antibiotics. Treatment can cost in excess of $2000 depending on how much intervention is required. But most importantly desexing prevents our pets from ever having to go through something like this. We are offering 15% off female dog desexing all of September. Give us a call on 96269561 or email us [email protected] to book. For prices please contact the clinic directly with the weight & age of your pet.

15.01.2022 DENTAL MONTH IS ALMOST HERE Lets face it not all pets are going to enjoy having their teeth brushed like Mr Tails the greyhound but with a little training, positive reinforcement & peanut butter flavoured toothpaste it is possible. Greyhounds are especially prone to dental disease so Tails mum & dad are on top of his oral health to ensure he stays as healthy as can be. ... Just like humans brushing is the best way to prevent build up of plaque that can cause bad breath, gum disease & tooth decay. Most pets have not had their teeth brushed regularly so often they require a dental scale & polish under anaesthetic with their vet to clear the buildup of tartar that has formed over the years. Some dogs also need to have rotten teeth removed to relieve pain & discomfort. It is important to have the overall health of your pets teeth assessed before starting preventative treatments like brushing. This is to make sure no teeth require more invasive cleaning or extraction. We want to make sure brushing is a painless & positive experience for your pet. August is dental month & we are offering 15% off all dental treatments. This includes 15% off: -dental scale & polish (including general anaesthetic) - extractions if required -dental X-rays We are also offering FREE dental checks with our senior nurses who can assess your pets teeth, provide you with an estimate of costs if cleaning is required. They can also guide you on how to begin brushing to prevent dentals in the future. Remember it is important to use a gentle tooth brush or a specially designed finger brush & dog specific toothpaste, no human toothpaste. If you would like to book for a dental check up give us a call 96269561 Special thanks to beautiful Tails for being our brushing demo boy

11.01.2022 Mushrooms The damp weather can become a breeding ground for wild mushrooms. While most mushrooms won’t have much of an effect on your pet, there are some extremely toxic ones. ... These mushrooms can be hard to identify, and often the time spent identifying the mushroom could cause delays in life-saving treatment. We strongly suggest erring on the side of caution and keeping your pet away from all mushrooms. If you notice mushrooms in your garden, remove them before allowing your pet to enter. It is essential to remove all parts of the mushroom and not just kick them away. This will also stop the mushroom spore from spreading around your garden. Some mushrooms can be fatal, and symptoms don’t always show immediately. Warning signs can differ depending on the mushroom, and can include any of the following; Vomiting. Bloody diarrhoea. Abdominal pain. Constricted pupils. Trouble walking. Lethargy. If your pet does eat a mushroom, take a picture of it and call us straight away. 0296269561

11.01.2022 HEATWAVE ALERT: Native animals are well adapted to Australian summer weather but they can still suffer during heatwaves.

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.

10.01.2022 GREAT DANE We had the pleasure of seeing Monty at the clinic today. This gentle giant weighs in at a whopping 68kg Did you know ... Despite the breed's name, the Great Dane doesn't have Danish origins. It comes from Germany, where it is called Deutsche Dogge (German Mastiff). In fact, the Great Dane is so iconic to Germany that Deutschland officially named the breed its national dog. With dogs this big and powerful, its important that they obey commands and are properly socialized. Luckily, Danes are mostly friendly and eager to please, making training a pleasure (though beware the odd stubborn streak).

09.01.2022 Is it time to lift the lip? Did you know Four out of every five dogs and cats over the age of three years have some sort of dental disease which becomes more severe with age.... This can be a real problem for pets and owners because it can lead to more serious problems such as illnesses related to the heart, liver and kidney. You should check your pets teeth regularly as pets often wont show pain. Even pets with sore gums, an infected mouth or broken teeth will continue to eat so you may not notice they have problems. Is it time to book your pet for a dental check? If you are concerned about your pets teeth it is important for them have a general health check & oral cavity assessment prior to booking in for dentistry. Your vet can assess your pets level of dental disease, general health & provide you with an estimate of costs associated. Like humans a dental isnt just a dental, it is a comprehensive oral health assessment. As a number of very important dental problems occur below the gumline where they cant be seen on oral exam alone we now take digital dental X-rays of your pets mouth. These problems are easily visible with the use of dental radiographs. Dental month is 7weeks away (August)& spaces are already filling fast. If you would like to make a booking for a dental check please get in touch with our reception team to book 96269561 So if it is safe to do so, lift the lip & have a look at your pets teeth

As my legs wobble, I clumsily plummet to the ground. Im just learning my bearings of how to get around. An exciting new world for me to see. Out of the nest and free as can be! Although I may not yet be able to fly, please dont worry as Im bound to get by. I can usually flutter and jump to higher ground. I can also communicate with my parents by emitting a sound. If you see me in immediate danger, please help and dont be a stranger! If Im injured, I need your assistance. Call your local animal rescue shelter to help secure my existence! Please dont be tempted to take me home, and try to raise me on your own. I require experienced care, and a nutritious diet like my parents would prepare! I know you mean well, and truly thank you for caring. But when it comes to raising me, even my own parents can find it overbearing! If Im too young and unable to be returned to my nest, (refer to flowchart) heres something you can try to ensure I progress... Constructing a makeshift nest is easy as can be. Octopus straps, a hanging basket, leaf litter, then securely hang it up in a tree! Make sure you wait until my mum or dad return. If you see a parent attending to me, then there is no reason for further concern. If youre EVER in doubt, do not fuss. Ring your local wildlife shelter and theyll be able to help us!

04.01.2022 We had the pleasure of meeting Cecil recently for his check up & vaccination. This little guy was super confident & brave. Needless to say everyone had to have a cuddle of this rare little lad. A little bit about Sphynx cats ... Originally named the Canadian hairless, the sphynx got its start in Toronto, Canada in 1966 when a litter of domestic shorthair kittens included a hairless kitten as the result of a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Although other hairless kittens had been born prior to this, the sphynx as we know it today is the result of selectively breeding these hairless cats to normal-coated cats and then breeding their offspring back again to other hairless cats, a process that has not only produced the desired breed characteristics but also served to widen the gene pool to produce a genetically hardy breed of cat, according to Cattime. But it wasn't until 2002 that the Cat Fanciers' Association accepted the sphynx for competition in the championship class, and other cat associations quickly followed suit. Friendly and loving, this is a loyal breed who will follow you around the house and try to involve itself in whatever you're doing, grabbing any opportunity to perch on your shoulder or curl up in your lap. As curious and intelligent as she is energetic, these traits can make them a bit of a handful. For their own safety, the sphynx does best as an exclusively indoor cat, and generally gets along well with children and other pets. Sphynx cats tend to have oily skin and need to be bathed regularly to avoid becoming greasy. Special care should also be taken to protect these cats from sunburn and skin damage, as well as from cold temperatures, although the sphynx tends to be an expert at finding snug places to curl up and get warm. Nevertheless, sweaters and coats tailored to the sphynx cat are commercially available.
