It can be difficult to medicate a cat. However, these days, when it comes to anti-parasitic treatments, there are so many options that even the fussiest cat can tolerate. It’s important your cat has protection against fleas, worms and ticks year-round if they go outside (even on a leash). If they’re indoors only, they still require treatment against worms and fleas, however often at a reduced frequency. Contact the clinic if you aren’t sure what your cat needs.

If you’re planning on putting your dog in boarding these holidays, it’s important their annual vaccinations are up to date. Most kennels will require proof of a C5 vaccination in the past 12 months to be accepted for boarding. However, if you really want to ensure your dog is protected, they need to have the vaccine booster at least 2 weeks prior to boarding, to ensure maximum immunity. Contact the clinic today if you need your dog’s vaccines boosted.

Last night we had an extra special guest - Daisy the lamb!

While Daisy wasn't unwell, she did come along to provide support to her mate Lexi the Kelpie X Staffy who saw Dr Tristan last night.

What a cutie!

One of the most common infectious diseases in cats is called ‘cat flu’. Just like the flu in humans, cat flu can be caused by several different viruses including calicivirus and herpesvirus. While often self-limiting, it can cause severe disease in some cats. If your cat develops a persistent cough, heavy nasal discharge, ulcers of the mouth or nose, inappetence or has difficulty breathing, they should see a vet. Treatments are available to reduce symptoms.

When going away, it can be difficult to know what’s the best option for your cat. Should you book a pet sitter, or should you take them to a cattery? When trying to decide, take into account your individual cat’s needs and personality. If they have medical conditions or are elderly, they might require additional care. Never leave your cats unattended for extended periods of time. If you’re unsure what’s best for your cat, our team would be happy to guide you.

Whether your dog loves going for a drive or not, it’s important to always prioritise safety. Dogs should be secured in the rear of the car, using either a car harness and tether or a travel crate. This is because in an accident, dogs could become airborne and risk serious injury to themselves and others in the car. If travelling in a ute, ensure dogs are tethered appropriately to the middle of the tray so they cannot fall off the sides. Never leave a dog in a hot car.

Meet Possum 😻

Possum came to us after a post-birth trauma that required emergency surgery. With 5 little babies relying on her, time was of the essence.

Fortunately Dr Maddie and Nurse Sam were able to come in on their Friday night and get Possum the urgent care she needed.

After spending the night in hospital and getting a little extra support with feeding her babies from Nurse Sam, she went home with some meds and lots of cuddles from her owners.
