Gorgeous Pandora, After her procedure last week, was delighted to try on a newly donated knitted jumper. Seeing how cute and warm she looked was a lovely reminder that care goes beyond treatment — it’s also about comfort, kindness, and feeling supported.

We’re so grateful to the generous knitter who dropped off a bag of jumpers who made moments like this possible.

🚨 Attention Rabbit Owners: Important Calicivirus Vaccination Reminder 🚨

A wild rabbit control program is scheduled across the Greater Sydney Local Government Areas – including the Central Coast – in early March 2025. As part of this program, authorities will release Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV1-K5), a strain of rabbit calicivirus, during the first week of March.

🐰 What is Rabbit Calicivirus?

Rabbit calicivirus (RHDV) is a highly contagious and often fatal virus that affects domestic and wild rabbits. It spreads easily through direct contact with infected rabbits, as well as through insects, contaminated objects, and even on clothing or shoes.

❗ Why It’s Important to Vaccinate

Pet rabbits are just as vulnerable as wild rabbits. The presence of wild virus PLUS the upcoming release of RHDV1-K5 means protection is essential. Vaccination is currently the best defence against the virus.
For the strongest protection, rabbits should be vaccinated before 1 March 2025—ideally by mid-February to ensure immunity is fully developed before the release.

🩺 Common Symptoms of Rabbit Calicivirus (RHDV)

Please contact your veterinarian urgently if your rabbit shows any of the following:
Sudden fever
Lethargy or loss of appetite
Difficulty breathing
Bleeding from the nose or mouth
Sudden collapse or death (the virus can progress very quickly)

💉 What You Should Do Now

✔ Book your rabbit’s vaccination appointment as soon as possible
✔ Ask us about the recommended vaccination schedule
✔ Keep your rabbit indoors and protected from insects where possible
✔ Avoid exposure to grass, hay or vegetation of unknown origin, and keep food away from wild rodents
✔ Practice strict hygiene measures, avoid rabbit play dates, avoid contact with wild rabbits

Protect your fluffy family members—schedule their vaccination before March. Your quick action could save their life. 💚🐇

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call Cronulla Vet Clinic on 9527 2604.

Does summer = ear infections for your dog?

Unfortunately, warm, humid conditions can trigger ear irritations in some pets, particularly those with underlying skin sensitivities. 🌞

If your pet develops ear issues in summer, we’d first advise properly treating any existing ear infections.

Once we’ve confirmed that your pet’s ear irritation has settled, we can then offer a variety of options to help keep it that way.
✅ Regular anti-allergy or anti-inflammatory injections or tablets
✅ Topical anti-inflammatory ear treatments applied regularly 👂

For more help keeping your pet’s ears fresh as a daisy this summer, book an ear check with our friendly team.

“My pet is in pain – can I give them some paracetamol?”

Firstly, we recommend never administering a human medication to your pet unless a vet has given you specific instructions on how to safely do so, as many human products can be toxic to animals. ⚠️

In the case of paracetamol, it’s a definite no for cats. Cats lack the ability to safely metabolise paracetamol, so can suffer lethal poisoning from even one dose.

In dogs with healthy livers, paracetamol prescribed by a vet at a specific dose can provide useful pain relief and fever-reducing effects. 🐕

For more information on safe pain relief options for your pet, book a consult with our vets.

Have you heard of hot spots in dogs?

These red, oozy, and sore skin lesions occur in response to a pet heavily scratching or gnawing at an area of irritation, and can form within a matter of hours. 😣

Unfortunately, some dogs are particularly prone to getting hot spots, particularly thick-furred or double-coated pets, or those with underlying allergies. But don’t worry, we can offer effective treatment for hot spots and help to prevent them in the long-term too!

Ticks can range in size from a few millimetres to over a centimetre in diameter, depending on their lifestage and how much blood they’ve ingested. An embedded tick will appear as a grey, brown or cream-coloured lump stuck firmly into the surface of your pet’s skin. The surrounding skin may be red and swollen. 🕷️

If you live in a tick-prone area, it’s best to invest in a tick removal tool (and of course, keep your pet up to date with year-round tick prevention!).

For more information on ticks including effective prevention, how to spot and remove them, and tick-related diseases, book an appointment for tick prevention advice. 🩺

While cats do occasionally vomit hairballs or eat too quickly, frequent vomiting isn't normal. If your cat vomits more than once a month, seems unwell, or you notice blood in the vomit, weight loss, or lethargy, it's time for a check-up. 🩺

Many conditions, from dietary issues to obstructions, IBD and kidney disease, can cause vomiting, so early detection is the key to successful treatment.

Book a vet appointment today if your cat’s been vomiting more than usual. Early checks can make a big difference.

Kennel cough is like the ‘common cold’, a condition caused by several different viruses and bacteria under the same umbrella term. Most dogs recover on their own within 1-3 weeks with rest and supportive care. 🐕

We only prescribe antibiotics if there's a secondary bacterial infection or your dog is at high risk of complications.

If you think your dog might have kennel cough, call us first before popping down to the clinic.

Canine cognitive dysfunction, or dog dementia, affects many senior dogs. Signs include disorientation, changes in sleep patterns, confusion, anxiety, and forgetting familiar people or routines.

While there's no cure, early diagnosis means we can implement management strategies, environmental modifications, and medications that may slow progression and improve quality of life. 💙

If you’ve noticed your senior dog acting differently, it’s best not to wait. Contact us today to book a senior health check and discuss your dog’s care options.

Planning a holiday? Start preparing your dog for boarding early. Consider a pre-boarding visit so they can familiarise themselves with the environment.

📋 Book a check-up at the vet, particularly if their vaccinations, like kennel cough, aren’t up to date. If they are on medication, ensure you have a sufficient supply. Pack their favourite toy or blanket for comfort. If your dog has a special diet or health problem, communicate this clearly to the boarding facility.

Book your pre-boarding health check or vaccination update today!

🚨 Leptospirosis Alert – Sutherland Shire (Woronora Heights) 🚨

We’ve been notified of a recent case of the potentially deadly disease Leptospirosis in a dog in the Sutherland Shire area (Woronora Heights).

Leptospirosis is a serious and potentially deadly bacterial infection that can affect both dogs and humans. It spreads through the urine of infected animals — often rats or other rodents — and can be picked up from contaminated soil or water.

🐶 What you can do to protect your dog:

➡️ Vaccination is strongly recommended for dogs living in or visiting the following areas:
• South Coast
• Southern Highlands
• Sutherland Shire (NEW)
• Newcastle
• Wollongong
• Tamworth
• Inner Sydney, Eastern Suburbs, and Inner West

Dogs in any area that may come into contact with rodents should also be vaccinated.

➡️ Reduce exposure risks:
• Prevent access to stagnant water (don’t let dogs swim or drink from puddles, dams, or creeks).
• Keep your property secure to limit contact with rodents and farm animals.
• Avoid close dog-to-dog contact (e.g. kennels, doggy day care) during local outbreaks.

If you have any doubts about your dog’s risk, please contact us on 9527 2604 to book an appointment discuss lepto vaccinations and prevention options.
