25.01.2022 Those elves are certainly up to no good!

23.01.2022 Not all heroes wear capes, but we certainly think Scootch is deserving of one. We used Green Lantern for some inspiration for Scootchs’ outfit following his front leg amputation for an evil cancer. #greenlantern #surgery

23.01.2022 Welcome to the weekend

22.01.2022 Saturday night poll. Is your pet allowed on the furniture? Like for yes, for no!

21.01.2022 PSA via The Daily Advertiser With warmer weather in Wagga comes a pet owner's worst nightmare; the risk of a pet coming into contact with a venomous snake. If a pet does encounter a snake, Tristan Robinson from Wagga Veterinary Hospital said acting quickly but safely was the most important thing. ... "The first thing to do is try your best to remain calm, your safety is always paramount, don't try and wrangle the snake off your dog," "As soon as you can, ring a vet for advice." Dr Robinson said much of the first aid generally used on humans would not work with pets, and it was important to get the pet to the vet as soon as possible, carrying them if viable to prevent them from moving. He said the success rate for antivenom was "quite high" if administered within half an hour. If a pet owner is unsure whether their cat or dog has been bitten by a snake, Dr Robinson said it was best to bring them in and a blood test would be able to determine whether antivenom was needed. Symptoms of a snake bite in dogs include vomiting, seizures, hypersalivation, excessive panting, lethargy and being wobbly on their feet.

18.01.2022 These animals have gotten themselves into some sticky situations. What’s your best stories for your pets behaving badly?

18.01.2022 Poor Perry! After a little accident at the river, he needed surgery to repair a lacerated foot. Whilst in theatre, we noticed his other foot was swollen. We used an ultrasound machine to locate a small pesky grass seed lodged between his toes. Thankfully it was easily extracted and left him with matching foot bandages! Wishing Perry a speedy recovery.

17.01.2022 Who can remember Scootch, aka The Green Lantern Today marks 10days post op, and he has taken to 3 legs with minimal fuss. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

15.01.2022 GRASS SEEDS - Need to be feared We are experiencing a fabulous season for the farmers and our gardens but as a result the grass is literallly growing like a weed. We have seen a recent spike in the numbers of pets and livestock presenting with issues due to grass seeds. These invasive little critters will get anywhere and migrate through the body, causing grief to pets, vets and owners alike. ... The most common areas we find grass seeds are paws and lower limbs, ears and eyes but also up the nose, abscesses over the face and body, in the chest (after being inhaled) and even in the bladder (see the black and white photo below- ultrasound of bladder with grass seed inside). The photo with Dr Anita’s finger next to it was pulled from the nose of a medium sized dog this week . This dog presented sneezing with discharge out of one nostril. The biggest issue we find is because they migrate and by the time the animal presents, we don’t always find the seed first go. The earlier the animal presents, the better our chance of finding the culprit. Symptoms in our patients are dependent on the site of seed entry and include: - ears head tilt and shaking head - eyes red inflamed eyes with squinting and increased tearing - paws lameness, licking at paws and discharge between toes - nose sneezing A LOT - face or body pain and swelling of affected area which may be associated with lethargy, reduced appetance and fever - chest - coughing and increased breathing rate Prevention of issues with grass seeds: - only walk your pet in areas with short or slashed grass or keep to bare and sealed areas - keep your lawn well mowed - clip long haired dog coats during grass seed season to prevent seed lodging in the coat - check your pets coat every day and remove any seeds that have hitchhiked on the coat. Remain vigilant while grass seeds are about and if you suspect your animal is affected seek veterinary attention ASAP.

10.01.2022 Posted @withregram @idexxau Indoor plants and flowers around the house are trendy right now. Just remember some can be toxic to your pets. To name a few common toxic flowers; - Lilies - Daffodils - Iris'... - Hydrangeas - Tulips Common toxic indoor plants include; - String of Pearls - Mother-in-law's Tongue - Dumb Cane - Elephant Ears - Cyclamens We recommend doing your research before purchasing a plant or ask your Vet for advice on pet-friendly greenery. Catmint or cat grass are good examples of non-toxic plants you can have in the house that your pets will love! #indoorplants #plantsandanimals #petsafety #pets #safety #catnip #catgrass #petfriendlyplants
