25.01.2022 Here’s some interesting facts about cats you may or may not know: cats can spend up to 70% of their lives sleeping. a cat was the mayor of an Alaskan town for 20 years. a litter of kittens is called a kindle. a group of cats of called a clowder. ... a cat can jump 7 times higher then its own height. the heaviest cat on record died in 1986 at 10 years old and weighed 21kgs! a cat’s sense of taste is weak. Cats have 473 taste buds whereas human can have around 9000! Cats make up for this deficiency with a superior sense of smell. Their most powerful response to food is through smell, not taste. a cats sense of smell can be up to 15 times stronger than ours. POST SOME PHOTOS OF YOUR FELINE FRIENDS IN THE COMMENTS

24.01.2022 LET’S TALK ABOUT PARALYSIS TICKS! Unfortunately tick season is in full swing at the moment and we have been inundated with paralysis tick patients These critte...rs cause paralysis by injecting neurotoxins via their saliva into the host which not only affects the muscles involved in standing and walking, but also those involved breathing and in swallowing which left untreated will ultimately lead to death. All creepy crawlies on your pets are unwanted but it is especially important to know how to identify paralysis ticks. The best way to tell them apart are by the legs, paralysis ticks have legs near their head in a V shape where as the bush/brown or cattle ticks have the legs spaced out around the body. Here is a handy rhyme to remember it: Spaced Out Arms - Do No Harm Legs Near The Head - Get the Vet out of Bed! Paralysis ticks are an emergency so it’s important to recognize the signs, these include: Lack of coordination Weakness Collapse Vomiting or retching Change of bark or meow Difficulty breathing If you do find a tick on your pet, remove it immediately with tweezers or a tick-removing device, by gently twisting or rotating the tick off and avoiding squeezing it’s body. After you remove the tick, make sure to keep it and bring it to your vet for identification. Even once a paralysis tick has been removed a dog or cat that was previously unaffected start to show signs of tick paralysis up to 72 hours after removal or if they are already showing signs to deteriorate further over the same time frame. If your pet is showing any signs of tick paralysis, seek veterinary attention immediately! Preventative treatment is crucial in protecting your furry family members, so if your dog or cat is not up to date with with their parasite prevention now is the perfect time to get on top of it! There is a great range of products to choose from including the Nexguard range, the Bravecto range (which also includes cats), Revolution Plus and Seresto. just to name a few! If you’re not sure which product is right for you ask us! Contact our friendly team about our Best For Pets program where you can get 10% off our parasite prevention products! Did you know that Balaclava Vet is open 7 days a week and has a Vet and Vet Nurse on call for emergencies 24/7-365 days a year? All you have to do is call (07) 4054 2166 and press 1 to speak to a Vet!

07.01.2022 Part 1. Some of our boarding cats in this week.

06.01.2022 Some of our boarding cats in this week. And a reminder that we are fully booked for Christmas 2020!!

06.01.2022 Lots of boarding cats in this week. This is just some of the cats that were awake. This rainy weather is keeping everyone in bed.

06.01.2022 We have just had two female, desexed cats brought to us that were sadly found deceased near Cumberland Avenue in Smithfield. One is grey and the second is black... and with a paler coloured belly, both long haired. Neither have a collar or microchip. If you are missing your fur babies and these descriptions sound familiar please call the hospital asap on 4015 3459 See more

06.01.2022 We have had quite a few customers returning from Brisbane this week and the week before. If anyone has collected their cat from us and possibly been to any of these places could you please let us know!

05.01.2022 Just discovered this little family run business. If anyone has family or friends in the defence force, let them know about this company that helps relocate defence family’s pets when they move.

05.01.2022 Some more faces for this week. We have some long-term boarding cats in with us at the moment which is why you may keep seeing the same, familiar faces... plus some newbies. Everyone has been enjoying the aircon this week!

04.01.2022 Part 2. And here is some more of our boarding cats in for the school holidays this week. We have lots of different breeds in this week including a Devon Rex, a Siberian Forest Cat, some Persians, a Scottish Fold, a Russian Blue plus a few others ... Check out TinTins Mohawk!

03.01.2022 Busy week in boarding this week!

02.01.2022 Some (not all) of our boarders this week! If you see your cat say hi!

02.01.2022 GROSS (BUT INTERESTING) CONTENT AHEAD LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU ARE EATING SPAGHETTI ... ... ... This is a Spirometra tapeworm, aka Zipper or Gecko Tapeworm, found today. They can apparently get over a metre in length. This one was 30cms long. They are way more common than you think! But you may not even know if your cat has one... Cats can get these when they eat geckos, lizards, frogs etc. Even if you do not let your cat outside they can still end up with this tapeworm i...f they hunt geckos inside your house. The ‘normal’ worming treatments that most of us do on our cats, DOES NOT cover this specific type of tapeworm that we have up here in FNQ. A SEPARATE worming tablet every 3 months will help PREVENT these nasty buggers from ending up inside your cats small intestines! (and then in their poo , and then on Jodie’s camera roll ). These are usually very easy to treat once found so don’t stress!! Have pinched some info from our local vets page for you to read. Please talk to your own vet if you have any questions or concerns about this. enjoy your lunch. See more
