NODDY UPDATE 🤍

We are still hoping to find this man a home. He has a high energy, rough play, high prey drive and would make an excellent mouser. Perhaps if you are not looking for another pet to take up a spot on the couch he would be well suited as a friendly stable or barn cat.

If you think you could give this guy a chance, please contact the clinic.

Meet Noddy

Do you like a rough and tumble no-good-nick from the wrong side of the tracks? A bad boy on the wrong side of the law but with a heart of gold? A guy with all the love and energy but no self control?

We’ve got the man for you.

This guy is very sweet but very energetic. He loves a zoomies, and needs an outlet for his energy or he tends to get a bit rough in his play. He would be best suited to a home able to handle his play, and without very young children.

He is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea’d. Please contact the clinic if you feel you could be the right home for Noddy.

It’s with great sadness that tonight we said goodbye to our very special clinic cat Twistie.

Many of you will have had the pleasure of a nosy cat poking her head into consult, or sunbaking in reception with no regard for surrounding dogs. She also had the best intentions as a nurse, keeping a close eye on our patients in recovery and occasionally accidentally answering a phone with her behind.

We will all miss you so very much Twistie 🤍

ADOPTED ❤️

Meet Micah 🐾

You may have noticed that our striking girl has heterochromia (two different coloured eyes). Some say the sign of a perfect adoptee 👀

Our sweet girl is about 7 months of age, and looking for a second chance at her forever home. She loves to snack, snooze and play, but plays a little rough with other cats - so would be best suited to a single pet home.

She is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, flea’d and ready to go! If you have the perfect home for Micah or would like to meet her, please submit an application form (found on our website under adoption kittens) to [email protected]

A reminder about Easter treats and our pets! ⚠️

🍫 From chocolate eggs to hot cross buns, Easter is a time of sweet treats for many. However, every Easter holiday period the Animal Poisons Helpline receives a significant increase in calls regarding pets eating chocolate and sultanas.

Chocolate contains methylxanthines which are dangerous to pets. Theobromine, the primary methylxanthine in chocolate, is toxic to companion animals. Following chocolate ingestion, signs of poisoning may include vomiting, diarrhoea, increased thirst, increased urination, hyperactivity, tremor, increased heart rate, changes to the heart rhythm and possibly seizures. The risk of poisoning is dependent on a number of factors including the type of chocolate ingested (dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain a much greater quantity of methylxanthines than milk chocolate), the amount ingested and the size of the animal.

Dogs are also known to be uniquely sensitive to grapes, raisins and sultanas. Dogs that ingest these fruits can potentially develop kidney injury, which can be life-threatening or result in lifelong kidney disease. Recent research suggests that an organic acid called tartaric acid (which is found in high concentrations in grapes) is likely responsible. Hot cross buns containing sultanas are a common Easter holiday hazard for dogs. Early signs of poisoning may include vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, and lethargy. As the illness progresses, increased thirst and urination can occur which can be indicative of kidney injury.

To prevent accidental pet poisoning during the festive season, pet owners should be mindful to:

✅ Store chocolate and hot cross buns in areas that cannot be reached by pets.

✅ Keep dangerous flowers and plants away from pets (such as the Easter Lily, which is highly toxic to cats).

✅ Ensuring Easter decorations and small toys are safely secured.

✅ Provide your pets with safe, alternative treats or toys to join in on the fun.

The Animal Poisons Helpline provides free advice to pet owners in Australia and can be reached on ☎️1300 869 738 (AU), 0800 869 738 (NZ), 3106 4216 (SG), (917) 722-5958 (US) or +1917-722-5958 (CAN). If you are a member of a veterinary team you can also join the Animal Poisons Centre For Vets Facebook group which is regularly updated with toxicology tidbits and poisoning trends.
