🐾⚠️ WINTER RAT BAIT WARNING ⚠️🐾
As the weather cools down, rodent activity increases—and so does the use of rat and mouse baits around homes, sheds, farms, and crop areas.
Unfortunately, every winter we see an increase in dogs and cats being accidentally poisoned after eating bait directly or consuming rodents that have ingested poison.
🚨 Rat bait poisoning is a medical emergency and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Signs to watch for: ⚪ Pale gums 😴 Lethargy or weakness 😮‍💨 Difficulty breathing or coughing 🩹 Unexplained bruising 🦵 Lameness or swollen joints 💔 Collapse
The tricky part? Symptoms may not appear for several days after exposure, making it difficult to know there’s a problem until your pet becomes seriously unwell.
🐶 Dogs are most commonly affected because they often find bait attractive, but curious cats can also be at risk, especially if they catch poisoned rodents.
If you suspect your pet has eaten rat bait—or even if you’re not sure—contact your veterinarian immediately. Early treatment can be lifesaving.
Please take extra care this winter: 
If you have any concerns about your pet, give us a call. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. ❤️🐾

❗️Parvovirus is active and present in our shire and surrounding shires❗️
🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

🦠 We would like our clients to be aware of this fatal virus and that with a simple course of vaccinations we can prevent the spread of Parvovirus. 🦠

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that attacks the gastrointestinal tract of the dog. It is a very hardy virus, which can survive for 12 months or more in the environment.
The virus is usually spread when dogs come into contact with contaminated faeces and soil.

Dog kennels, parks, showgrounds and nature strips are all major sources of infection. It is important to realise that dogs do not have to come into contact with other dogs to become infected with parvovirus .

After exposure to the virus, dogs will often develop a fever and may suffer severe abdominal pain, followed by profuse vomiting and diarrhoea (which often contains blood).

A high mortality rate amongst infected puppies can be expected. Some dogs may survive depending on how quickly treatment is sought. Treatment usually involves intensive care for several days in a veterinary hospital and can be very expensive however is not always successful.

It is important that all puppies commence a vaccination program from 6-8 weeks of age and that all adult dogs have their annual boosters.

Prevention is the best cure for Parvovirus.

PLEASE if you have any concerns about your pet please contact the clinic ☎9831 1666☎

🍂🥶 Cold Weather & Colic: What Horse Owners Need to Know 🐴❄️
As the temperatures drop and the rain comes —it’s also a time when we see a rise in colic cases. Why is this ?
Cold weather can cause horses to drink less water, leading to dehydration and impaction colic as well as a change in feed type and there environment.

Here are a few quick tips to help keep your horses healthy this season:
💧 Encourage Water Intake –offer them a range of different water options . A warm bucket of molasses or honey water is also a great way to increase water intake!

🥕 Watch Their Diet – Sudden changes in hay or feed or pasture can increase colic risk. Introduce any changes gradually and make sure your horse has plenty of roughage.

🏇 Keep Them Moving – Regular turnout and exercise help keep the gut moving, even on chilly days.

👀 Monitor Closely – Pay extra attention to manure output, appetite, and behavior. If something seems off, don’t wait—call us!
Prevention is key, and a little extra care goes a long way. If you have any questions or concerns, give us a call—we’re here to help you and your horses all winter long. 🩺❄️🐎

Over the last 2 weeks, we have treated 3 dogs with pyometra — a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus.

Pyometra most commonly occurs in undesexed female dogs, usually a few weeks to months after a season. The uterus fills with infection and toxins, which can quickly lead to sepsis, organ failure, and death if left untreated.

Signs can include:
• Lethargy
• Reduced appetite
• Vomiting
• Drinking more water than usual
• Vaginal discharge (not always present!)
• A swollen or painful abdomen

Treatment for pyometra is emergency surgery to remove the infected uterus and ovaries. These patients are often very unwell, and surgery carries significantly more risk (and expense) than a routine desexing procedure.

This is one of the main reasons veterinarians recommend desexing female dogs if they are not intended for breeding. Desexing not only prevents unwanted litters, but also prevents pyometra and greatly reduces the risk of mammary cancer later in life.

If your dog is undesexed and showing any of the signs above, please contact your vet as soon as possible ❤️

While Easter is a time for sweet treats, chocolate can be toxic to our furry friends. Even small amounts can make dogs and cats very sick, causing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, and in severe cases, seizures.
Please keep all Easter eggs, chocolate gifts, and baked goodies well out of reach of curious paws 🐾
If you think your pet has eaten chocolate, contact your vet immediately—early treatment is crucial.
Let’s keep Easter safe and happy for every member of the family 💕
