🦜 Today a member of the public brought in a Rosella as it was sitting on the ground unable to fly.
🩺Dr Shosana provided the Rosella with some pain relief before taking some x-rays.

❤️ Good news ❤️.... There are no obvious breaks and the rosella was able to be put in the care of ACT Wildlife for some rehab before being released back into the wild 🎉

{ Inserts cute kitty to get your attention 😹}

🚫Homesafe ID - Microchip registration website is shutting down ❌

What does this mean for you & your pets microchip registration??

IF your pet is registered on Homesafe ID you just need to register with another database.

We can recommend 👇👇

https://www.petsafe.com.au
OR
https://www.myras.com.au/AAR/register/Registration.aspx

🙏 Please contact us if you need help or come in for us to check your records if you're unsure or don't have your paperwork. 📂

👀 You'd be looking worried too if that toy was removed from your digestive tract 🤷🏼‍♀️

🐾 This is Khan, a beautiful 5 year old pitbull. Khan looooves toys ❤️ and that figurine in the urine sample pot in front of Khan was retrieved during an Ex lap 👍🏽

He came back in for his recheck and was looking a lot happier! 🥰

🎄🐾🎀 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎀🐾🎄

A wee reminder to keep a careful eye on your pets today, as well as it being overwhelming for them there are a few Christmas hazards to be aware of...

🍲Christmas dinner and leftovers: These are all too rich for our pets and can cause nasty tummy upsets and even life threatening Pancreatitis.

🥜Macadamia nuts: These can be toxic to dogs if ingested. The toxicity leads to muscle weakness, vomiting and tremors.

🍇Sultanas and raisins: May contain a mycotoxin which can cause kidney failure in dogs. Keep that Christmas Pudding out of paws reach!

🍖BBQ skewers can be catastrophic for pets if they are accidentally ingested.

🍫Chocolate: dogs can’t metabolise the theobromine in chocolate. Chocolate ingestion can lead to an increased heart rate, tremors, seizures and even death. The darker the chocolate the more toxic, and the size of the dog and amount ingested also plays a part in the severity of the symptoms. Seek veterinary attention immediately if your dog eats chocolate.

🍭Xylitol is a sugar substitute found in some products such as chewing gum, lollies, mints, and toothpaste and is highly toxic for cats and dogs.

💡Decorations such as tinsel and fairy lights are very attractive to pets (especially cats) but can lead to a gastric obstruction if eaten.

🎀Ribbons and string tied around presents are also super attractive to cats and if ingested can lead to a nasty gastric obstruction requiring emergency surgery.

🪴Christmas lilies can cause kidney failure in cats.

☀️Heatstroke: Water & Shade... need we say more?

Stay safe and take care of those small friends for us 💛
