Did you know our clinic does Laser Therapy?
Opie the Greyhound came in for a small wound on her right front leg. Due to the location and the fragile skin in this area stitches were not an option and so Laser Therapy was used instead. Opie had 3 sessions in one week and her wound has already reduced in size and is healing nicely.
For further information on our Laser Therapy visit our website https://diggersrestvet.com.au/LaserTherapy.aspx or call us on 8722 9922

🐰🍫 Easter & Treats: 🍫🐶🐱
Easter is all about fun, family, and festive goodies – but some of our favourite treats can be very dangerous for our furry friends!
🍫 Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine – both toxic to dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause:
Vomiting 🤢
Diarrhoea 💩
Rapid heart rate ❤️‍🔥
Tremors or seizures ⚡
And in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
Hot Cross Buns may seem innocent, but they often contain raisins or sultanas, which can cause acute kidney failure in dogs – even in tiny amounts!
Easter egg hunts are especially risky – pets have an amazing nose for mischief.
Please keep all chocolate and baked goodies well out of paw’s reach, and remind friends and family not to share with your pets (no matter how convincing those puppy dog eyes are!)
🚨 If you think your pet has eaten chocolate, raisins, or hot cross buns – call your closest Vet straight away. Early treatment makes all the difference!
Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy Easter! 🐾
