24.01.2022 Easter time and chocolate for your furry friends (part -1) Although chocolate is one of our favourite treats, many are unaware that it is toxic (sometimes even fatal) for our furry friends. Chocolate toxicity is more common in dogs and less so in cats and other pets. Chocolate contains two ingredients that are toxic to your pets called theobromine and caffeine. The amount of these two ingredients can vary depending on the chocolate. Generally the darker the chocolate the more... toxic it is to your pet. For example, unsweetened baking chocolate contains almost seven times more theobromine than milk chocolate. Some Signs of poisoning: Clinical signs can occur within an hour of ingestion. The two toxic chemicals are both stimulants of the brain and heart. Increased heart rate Hyperactivity Muscle tremors Vomiting Excessive thirst and urination Seizures Lethargy or weakness Treatment: Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet has eaten any chocolate. If ingestion is picked up early, we may be able to induce vomiting before too much is absorbed by the gut. Other treatments such as activated charcoal or intravenous fluids may also be necessary. Dogs have tremendous sense of smell, so leaving chocolate on the bench top puts your pet at risk. Just remember to keep your Easter eggs/chocolate up out of harms way for the safety of your furry friends.

22.01.2022 Meet gorgeous Columbus in today for his recheck after coming into contact with lilies last week. Columbus is doing really well as he was bought into the practice quickly and precautionary treatment measures were taken. We thought we should post this as reminder to all cat owners about the danger to cats of any contact with lilies in the house or garden at all. Most lilies are highly toxic for cats. The smallest amount of any part of the lily can be fatal to your cat if left u...ntreated. Poisoning can even occur when cats groom pollen off their fur, eat or even drink vase water. The lily plants of greatest concern are those from the genus Lilium (Lilium sp.), which includes Easter lilies, tiger lilies, and Asiatic lilies, and those from the genus Hemerocallis (Hemerocallis sp.), which includes day lilies. Once signs of poisoning develop, cats are in acute kidney failure and this is usually fatal. So it is critical to bring your cat in for preventative care if they have been in contact with lilies. If cats have gone into kidney failure, signs include vomiting, drinking a lot of water, increased or decreased urination and lethargy. But when these signs develop due to lilies it is usually too late to save the cat. The best approach is to never have these lilies in the house or garden if you have cats. If your cat does come into contact with any lilies please seek veterinary advice immediately. See more

21.01.2022 Arthritis and your Best Friend Arthritis (Degenerative joint disease) is inflammation of the joints. Arthritis occurs when the cartilage lining of the joint wears down, resulting in inflammation, swelling and pain. Often the pain with arthritis is worse after resting, vigorous exercise or cold weather Symptoms of arthritis... 1. Reduced activity or a reluctance to exercise 2. Stiffness or slowness when getting up or down, or after resting 3. Trouble going up or down stairs or for cats unwillingness to jump 4. Dragging back legs, worn toenails or reluctance to groom in cats Managing Degenerative Joint Disease: It has no cure and is all about controlling the pain associated with arthritis and managing the inflammation within the joints. We have a few different options depending on the severity of the Arthritis. These may include joint supplements, weight control and prescription diets or a course of anti-inflammatory injections. If you notice any one of these symptoms, please give us a call and organise a check up for beloved fur baby. See more

21.01.2022 Goodmorning, Unfortunately Queanbeyan Vet Hospital is having technical issues and our phones are down. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. We are working very hard to make sure they get back up shortly. We are still open so if anyone needs anything please come to the door and knock and the nurse at the front will come help you. Or alternatively please book an appiontment online.... Thank you all for your patience today

21.01.2022 The cooler frosty weather is here! Our pets are feeling it too, but there are some things we can do to make them more comfortable. 1. Bring your pets inside to help them keep warm. Move their favourite beds to a sunny spot. You can even increase their indoor entertainment, by providing games and food dispensing toys. 2. If your pets spend time outside, make sure they have a shelter that is raised off the ground and weather/wind proof. Consider coats and wet weather gear fo...r dogs that live outside and for their daily walks. 3. Cats often sleep in the wheel wells or under the bonnet of cars during the winter months to keep warm. Prevent injuries by banging loudly on your hood or honking the horn before starting your car. This will wake up the cat and give it a chance to escape before starting the car. 4. Be seen! Due to Daylight Savings, many of us are relegated to walking our dogs in the dark. Keep yourself and your dog safe by wearing reflective gear (clothing, leash, collar) and keeping your dog close and on lead when walking on the street. 5. Avoid spills! Antifreeze attracts cats and dogs because it is very sweet to taste, but it is extremely poisonous and can cause serious illness. Be sure to clean up any antifreeze that spills in your garage, and keep the bottle somewhere your pets cannot access. 6. Older pets can struggle in the colder weather. Keep watch for signs of arthritis such as limping, unusual aggression, reluctance to groom, especially difficult to reach areas, perhaps a reluctance or inability to jump. Come and see us if you are concerned, there are a range of treatments including supplements, medications and injections that can make your pet more comfortable.

20.01.2022 Warning! Snakes are out and about. The snake season has started so please be mindful about snakes when walking your dog, particularly in bush land areas. The Tiger, Eastern Brown and Red Belly Black snakes are the 3 most common venomous snakes we see around the Canberra/Queanbeyan area. They are most likely to attack just after hibernation or if they feel threatened by humans or animals. Signs to watch out for in dogs: Symptoms in a dog generally appear within the first 5 mi...nutes but can take up to an hour or two. Symptoms include; Collapsing lethargy dilated pupils salivating (drooling) Vomiting muscle tremors Shaking It is important that as soon as you think your dog has been bitten to take them straight to the vet. Death in a dog can occur within 15 minutes of getting bitten if not treated as soon as possible. If you suspect your dog has been bitten, keep them as quiet and calm as possible and try to restrict their movement while transporting them to veterinary attention. Signs to watch out for in Cats: The onset for cats is much slower in than it is in dogs and the symptoms vary from that of a dogs also. It can take anywhere from 1-24 hours for cats to show signs of a snake bite. Symptoms include; Dilated pupils Weakness/lethargy Ataxia (incoordination) Remember if you think your pet has come in contact or maybe come in contact with a snake, SEEK VETERINARY ADVICE IMMEDIATLY

18.01.2022 Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra Veterinary Hospitals Update On Our Approach to COVID 19 Guidelines and procedures have changed very quickly in the last two weeks. We have decided to set up a system that is as sustainable as possible, so that we can continue to treat all our patients, for as long as the COVID-19 virus is a threat to our community. Veterinary services have been classified as essential (as we know they are) so we are planning to be open throughout this worldwid...e crisis. As such, we have moved to a model of having a client free clinic. What this looks like is: When you arrive at the clinic, please phone the reception and we will check you in. A vet will either call you or come outside to obtain a history, then take your pet inside for the examination and any necessary treatments or investigations. The vet may call during the consultation for further information or to give a summary of the visit. Alternatively, they may deliver this information when returning the animal to you. Again, please respect the social distancing guidelines when talking to the vet. We will then ask you to call our reception to pay over the phone, or our receptionist will bring the eftpos machine out to you. Cash payments will be accepted in a similar way. If you are picking up food or repeat medications, it would be great if you could call in advance and pay over the phone. This means we can just hand over your product when you arrive. We recognize that there will be exceptions to this process and we regret having to restrict the involvement of the owners in the consultations. However, we believe this to be the most responsible way to maintain our service, whilst helping to protect our community. We very much appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to take good care of all of our patients. Warm Regards, Drs Bill Taylor and Louise Nicholls See more

09.01.2022 EASTER & YOUR FURRY FRIENDS (part 2) HOT CROSSED BUNS Its not just chocolate- hot crossed buns or anything containing raisins, currents, sultanas or grapes are toxic to your pets. Even the smallest amounts of these can be toxic and may cause acute kidney failure in some pets.... Some signs of poisoning Vomiting and diarrhoea Reduce urination Tremors Seizures Please call you vet immediately if you think they may have eaten even the smallest amount. EASTER LILIES Most lilies are highly toxic for cats. The smallest amount of any part of the lily can be fatal to your cat if left untreated. Poisoning can even occur when cats groom pollen off their fur or drink vase water. The lily plants of greatest concern are any from the genus Lilium (Lilium sp.), which includes Easter lilies, tiger lilies, and Asiatic lilies, and any from the genus Hemerocallis (Hemerocallis sp.), which includes day lilies. Some signs of poisoning Vomiting Increased or decreased urination Diarrhoea Decreased appetite or lethargy If your cat or dog has eaten or come in contact with any lilies please seek veterinary advice immediately. EASTER GRASS & PLASTIC CHICKENS The plastic Easter grass and chickens found in baskets may be fun things for your pet to play with but can be a potential choking hazard and may cause intestinal obstructions if swallowed. Lets keep our furry friends happy and safe this Easter

07.01.2022 Release to clients: COVID 19 These are challenging times, having already lived through a summer of fires and hailstorms and now a world wide health emergency. It is impossible to know the impact that his virus will have on Canberra, let alone our pets. Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra Veterinary Hospitals care deeply about the wellbeing of our patients, clients and staff. Our standard practice is obviously to maintain high standards of cleanliness and disinfection in our hosp...ital, and we have reviewed our protocols and procedures to make sure they are in line with advice from the health department and our veterinary association. We can assure you that: We will maintain our high standards of hospital in line with all current guidelines for best practice We will increase access to alcohol-based hand rub for clients entering the clinic We have upgraded our policy of hand hygiene for before and after every interaction with a patient or client within our clinic We have upgraded the frequency with which we will clean all commonly touched objects in the clinic We have implemented strict policies with regards to staff staying away from the clinic should they be experiencing suspect symptoms, had close contact with anyone testing positive for the virus or be returning from overseas travel With this in mind, we ask that you consider the health and wellbeing of our staff, so they are not put at risk and subsequently put the function of the clinic at risk. Unfortunately, we cant provide this essential service from home. So, we ask that: If you are unwell and particularly if you are showing any symptoms of COVID-19 (coughing, sneezing sore throat, fevers, lethargy or respiratory distress), please stay at home. We are still very happy to see our patients of course but urge you to find someone else to bring them to the clinic. If you cannot find someone else to bring your pet, please call us so we can help to find a suitable solution Please sanitise your hands at the door before you enter the clinic Wherever possible, please only have one person accompany the animal to the clinic. Leave children at home where you can, so we are reducing the number of people contacting each other as much as possible. When you arrive at the clinic, if possible, leave your pet in the car and ring us to let us know you have arrived. Once we are ready to see you, we will either call you or come to get you. You must practice social distancing once you are in the clinic These are unprecedented times and we all need to look after each other so that the risk we pose to others and the risk posed to us is minimized. If we can follow all these guidelines, hopefully we will be able to continue to look after our precious patients through these difficult times. See more
