Saying Goodbye with Love and Dignity 🌿

One of the hardest parts of loving our pets is having to say goodbye. End-of-life care is tough, but when needed, it’s an act of deep love to give them peace, comfort, and dignity when they need it most. 🪽

As a mobile vet team, we feel truly honoured to help families say goodbye in the place their pets feel safest — at home, surrounded by love. Thinking of the families that have had to say goodbye recently 💔. Every pet deserves to leave this world gently, with the same devotion they gave us throughout their lives.

Grief after losing a beloved companion can be overwhelming, and you don’t have to face it alone. There are pet grief support services available, and we’re always here if you’d like guidance or someone to listen. Please don’t hesitate to message us if you need help finding support. 💌

Seizuring Dogs

Seeing your dog have a seizure can be one of the scariest moments as a pet parent. Seizures happen when the brain’s electrical activity is disrupted, and they can look like anything from a brief “spaced out” episode to full-body shaking and collapse.

Most seizures are under 2 minutes long, this can seem like a lifetime during the event.

🔎 Why do dogs seizure?
There are many possible reasons, including:
▫️Epilepsy (the most common cause, especially in young to middle-aged dogs)
▫️Underlying illness such as liver or kidney disease
▫️Toxins (for example, eating something poisonous)
▫️Low blood sugar or other metabolic changes
▫️Brain conditions such as tumours or trauma

💡 What can be done?
The good news is that with the right diagnosis, many dogs with seizures can live long and happy lives.
Management may involve:
▪️Blood tests to check for underlying illness
▪️Ongoing medication if seizures are frequent or severe
▪️Monitoring seizure frequency and triggers at home
▪️Tailored treatment plans to suit your pet’s lifestyle

🚐 Here, Dr Tiffany is having a cuddle with seizure patient Frankie the sausage dog after having a blood test to monitor his medication. His siblings Roo and Charlie didn’t miss out on any attention!

If your dog has had a seizure, reach out to your vet for advice to make a plan to keep them safe and well. 🩺

🦜 Meet Maverick the Macaw

Maverick is a lively 3-year-old macaw whose owner recently noticed a bleeding toenail and called Dr Tiffany straight away. This was the right thing to do.

For birds, even a small toenail injury can be dangerous. Because of their size, they can lose blood quickly, and what might look minor to us can become an emergency for them. Birds also have very delicate feet, and untreated injuries can lead to infection, pain, or long-term problems with perching and climbing.

Dr Tiffany examined Maverick in the comfort of his own home, where he was more relaxed, and used a special veterinary substance to stop the bleeding and protect the area.

Of course, true to his cheeky personality, Maverick kept things interesting! He’s well known for letting his mate Pauly the rainbow lorikeet out of the cage and being best friends with Oscar the tabby cat 🐈. While the focus was on Maverick (who was enjoying a treat of his own!), Oscar took the opportunity to have a good rummage through our vet bag—just in case we were hiding something tasty!

👉 If you notice bleeding in your bird’s nail or foot:
• Stay calm and apply gentle pressure if possible.
• Don’t try to pull at the nail or use household products.
• Call your avian vet promptly for advice—occasionally such an injury requires an anaesthetic and to seal the blood vessel with electrocautery (surgical device to burn the blood vessel to seal it).

We love helping our exotic patients stay happy and healthy at home. And meeting their pet siblings!

Pets Don’t Need Dental Care 🦷

Some people believe they don’t need to think about their pets dental health.

THIS IS A MYTH!

The truth is very different. By the age of three, about 80% of dogs and 70% of cats already have signs of dental disease 🤯.

Dental problems aren’t just about bad breath (👃). They cause pain, infections, and can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. If dental disease is left untreated, pets often need extractions under anaesthetic. Preventive care is far cheaper and kinder than major dental surgery.

For example, an anaesthetic for a clean and polish may be $800, extractions $2800 (*depending on the pet and clinic and degree of disease).

Just like us, pets need regular dental care. Vet check-ups, professional cleans, and simple home brushing can save money in the long run AND keep your pet comfortable.

‼️It’s not only your pet’s health at stake. If you have a weakened immune system, your doctor would be concerned about the bacterial risk of living with a pet that has untreated dental disease.

Veterinary Dental specialists have put together an extensive list of approved dental products that are available to help your pets dental health. See comments below to access this.

➡️ Book a home consult today for us to perform a dental check and learn how to maintain a healthy mouth for you and your pet family.

Pet Overwhelm

Some pets find vet visits overwhelming. The car ride, busy waiting rooms, and small consulting spaces can all add to their stress. For anxious dogs, this can make even simple check-ups or vaccinations really hard.

That’s where a mobile vet visit can help. We come to your home, so pets avoid many of the things that make them worry. They’ll still need their injections and a clinical exam, but the experience can be calmer and more manageable.

One tool we sometimes use is a gentle calming medication before the visit. For this brother-and-sister duo, that made a big difference. They were relaxed, able to have their check-up, and even enjoyed pats from Dr Beth afterwards ☺️.

Just like us, dogs and cats sometimes need to do things they don’t enjoy. Our job is to make that as stress-free as possible.

For pets who find traditional clinics overwhelming, we’re here to offer an alternative 🏡.

Open from 730am Monday to Friday, we are here to help.

Golden Retrievers 🐶💛

Everyone meet Mila and her baby sister Maple who are Golden Retrievers.

Golden Retrievers are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and friendly demeanor, making them one of the most popular family pets. They thrive on companionship, love to be active, and are always eager to please—whether it’s playing fetch, going for a swim, or simply being by your side.

Like all breeds, Goldens have specific health concerns that owners should be aware of:

⚠️Hip & Elbow Dysplasia
This is due to 3 main reasons:
1️⃣ Their genetic makeup.
When looking for a puppy from this breed ensure that their parents should have had hip and elbow X-rays (aka scores) done. If their parents have hip or elbow dysplasia, it’s likely the puppy will.
2️⃣ Correct nutrition for “large breed” dogs during puppyhood.
3️⃣ Exercise. Not over exercising until 18months old (skeletal maturity). This means not taking them on “runs” and not pushing them to exercise.

⚠️ Ear Infections –
Due to their floppy ears and living in a humid location, moisture can get trapped increasing the risk of infections. The most common infection is yeast. Regular ear cleaning helps prevent issues. Otoflush and Kleo are our recommendations.

⚠️ Skin Allergies & Hot Spots –
Genetically, Goldens can have allergic skin disease, which can lead to itching and superficial infections. Maintaining a clean coat can minimise hot spots (skin infections).

⚠️ Cancer Risk –
Unfortunately, Goldens have a higher-than-average risk of certain cancers.
‼️Desexed females are 4️⃣ x MORE likely to develop some cancers than entire females.
Talk to your veterinarian about the scientific research and what’s the best plan for your Goldie.

Caring for a Golden means providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and routine veterinary care to keep them happy and healthy. If you have any questions about your Golden’s health, we’re here to help!

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Today isn’t about material things like flowers and chocolates—it’s about reflecting on the love in our lives. And who gives us a more pure, unconditional love than our pets?

They greet us with excitement, stay by our side through every high and low, and never ask for anything in return. Whether it’s a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or a knowing nuzzle, our pets remind us every day that love isn’t just something to say—it’s something to show 🥰.

So today, let’s celebrate the love that makes our families whole. Give your pets an extra cuddle, an extra treat, or an extra-long walk—because they deserve it all.

And if you happen to receive flowers or chocolates, take the day to appreciate who gave them and their impact in your life 🍫💐.

We’re endlessly grateful for the love our pets bring into our lives. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕🐶😻🐾
