🐾 Meet Echo! 🐾

The most handsome Australian Koolie you’ve ever seen! 💙

Echo came to see us after his owner noticed he was having some trouble urinating. After an ultrasound, radiographs and a urinalysis, it was discovered that Echo had an enlarged prostate, which can occur in entire (not castrated) male dogs due to the effects of testosterone.

To help reduce the size of his prostate, Echo underwent a castration. By removing the main source of testosterone, his prostate should gradually decrease in size. 🩺

It’s important to know that this change isn’t immediate — it can take several weeks for the prostate to reduce in size. But Echo is definitely on the road to recovery, and he has been absolutely loving all the attention and cuddles he’s been receiving from our team! 🥰

🔬 And how cool is his urinalysis?!

Those little circles you can see under the microscope are red blood cells, along with s***m!

Intact male dogs can experience a normal physiological movement of s***m backwards into the bladder and urinary tract, even when they are not actively breeding. Pretty fascinating, right? 🤓🔬

We’re so happy to see this handsome boy recovering so well! 💙🐶

Say hi to Dr Steven, one of our Senior Veterinarians and Co-Owners here at Kurrajong Village Vets! 🐾

Dr Steven has been practising as a veterinarian for 10 years and has a particular love for feline medicine — which probably explains why he already has 8 cats at home… and still thinks there’s room for more! 😹🐱

Outside the clinic, Steven is a big fan of food (especially Japanese food 🍣), loves getting away camping, and has recently taken up learning guitar — which he assures us is absolutely not a mid-life crisis. 🎸😂

He also has a wonderfully patient wife who has to contend with the cats, the camping gear, the guitar practice and his plans to keep expanding the feline family. 😜

We’re very lucky to have Dr Steven’s experience, humour and passion as part of the Kurrajong Village Vets team. 💙🐾

🚨 TICK PARALYSIS ALERT 🚨

We’ve already started seeing tick paralysis cases at Kurrajong Village Vets — and it’s not even spring yet! 🕷️🐾

Paralysis ticks can cause serious, life-threatening illness in both dogs and cats, and early signs can be easy to miss.

Please make sure your pets are up to date with effective flea and tick prevention, and remember to check them regularly for ticks — particularly around the head, neck, ears and between the toes.

✅ Prevention is much cheaper — and much safer — than treatment.

If you’re unsure whether your pet’s tick prevention is up to date or which product is appropriate, give our team a call.

🦷 August is Dental Awareness Month! 🐶🐱

This month, we’re focusing on dental disease in our cats and dogs — and what may be hiding below the gumline.

Did you know that our pets can be incredibly good at hiding dental pain? Even when the teeth look reasonably healthy on the surface, significant disease can be developing where we simply can’t see it during a routine examination.

That’s why, when performing a dental procedure, we use dental radiographs (X-rays) to look beneath the gumline. 🔎

Dental X-rays allow us to assess:

🦷 The roots of the teeth
🦴 The jawbone and bone surrounding each tooth
⚠️ Hidden root infections and abscesses
🐱 Tooth resorption, which is particularly common and painful in cats
📉 Bone loss from periodontal disease
💥 Fractured or damaged tooth roots
🦷 Retained roots or unerupted teeth

A large portion of every tooth sits below the gumline, so looking at the visible crown only tells us part of the story.

Dental radiographs help us determine which teeth are genuinely healthy, which require treatment or extraction, and ensure that we aren’t leaving painful disease behind.

Because when it comes to dental disease, what we can’t see can still hurt. ❤️🐾

• Bravecto Chews – 3 months of flea and tick protection.

• Bravecto Spot-On – 6 months of flea and tick protection.

🐦 Important Update for Our Bird Owners 🦜

With the recent avian influenza (bird flu) situation in NSW, we’ve introduced some temporary biosecurity measures to help protect our patients, clients and staff.

If you have a pet bird or backyard chicken that needs veterinary attention, PLEASE GIVE OUR CLINIC A CALL BEFORE ARRIVING.

Our veterinary team will assess the situation and call you back to discuss the most appropriate next steps. This may include arranging an examination, recommending an avian veterinarian, or providing other appropriate advice.

For injured or sick wild birds, please avoid handling them where possible. To minimise the risk of close contact with avian influenza, we recommend contacting WIRES or the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline (1800 675 888) for advice before attempting to rescue or transport the bird.

These temporary measures allow us to continue providing safe veterinary care while following current biosecurity recommendations.

The current risk to the general public remains low, and we’ll continue to monitor the situation and update everyone as advice changes.

Thank you for your understanding and support. 💙
