HAPPY WORLD MILK DAY!!

Today we're celebrating one of nature's most important foods ā€“ milk! From nourishing growing calves, lambs, and kids on the farm to helping raise healthy animals around the world, milk plays a vital role in animal health and wellbeing.

Did you know?
šŸ„ A newborn calf relies on its mother's first milk (colostrum) to provide essential antibodies that help protect it from disease.

šŸ¼ Proper nutrition during the early stages of life is critical for healthy growth and development.

ā¤ļø Healthy mums and healthy babies go hand in hand!

At The Vet & Co, we're fortunate to care for animals at every stage of life, from tiny newborns taking their first feed to beloved pets enjoying their golden years.

Join us in celebrating the animals, farmers, and caregivers who help provide this valuable resource every day.

A vet clinic is a pretty hectic place really ā€“ fully booked with vaccines, sore ears, itchy pets, a whole day of routine surgeries on the schedule, then BAM, 9.01am and the call comes in for a heifer struggling to calve! This isnā€™t unusual, and if it isnā€™t a calving, itā€™s a dog hit by a car, or a snake bite or tick paralysis.

In vet clinics, we must always expect the unexpected! In this case, we reshuffled the schedule, Dr Hannah took on all of the consults, some surgeries were delayed by a few hours ā€“ and Dr Sin went out to help the mum-in-need.

The calf was quite large and coming backwards, but with some good drugs and a bit of skill, Dr Sin delivered a live calf. Mum and bub (and the farmer) were very pleased with this result!

So, while we always do our very best to stick to our schedule, we always prioritise emergencies. We do our best to communicate this if we have to shuffle our schedule, and we appreciate your understanding and patience, one day it might be your pet in the emergency we are prioritising!

ā€œBut Docā€¦ why does my pet need dental X-rays? I can SEE their teeth!ā€

Great question - and hereā€™s the wild part:

In dogs and cats, about 60ā€“70% of each tooth is hiding under the gumline. Yep, youā€™re only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

What looks like a ā€œpretty normal toothā€ on the outside can be hiding all kinds of drama underneathā€¦

This gorgeous patient, a young cat, had a slight bit of redness at his gum line which you can see in the photo below. Doesnā€™t look too bad right? WRONG! Check out the xray of this tooth. It is literally dissolving from the inside out ā€“ in cats this is known as FORL (Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions). This is not an uncommon condition, and it can be incredibly painful. This tooth was removed and this patient is much happier now!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! The Team at The Vet & Co. will be back 9am Tuesday morning.

Don't forget to hide the Easter choccies from the fur kids. šŸ«

!!! We have had TWO animals admitted thismorning with tick paralysis. PLEASE ensure your dogs and cats are up to date with prevention. And don't forget our 12 month flea and tick injection for dogs!
Common tick myths:
- indoor animals are safe from ticks
- ticks are only around in spring and summer
- my animal is immune
- my dog is safe because they don't go in the bush
- my animal has already had tick paralysis and can't get it again

PLEASE! This is a life threatening issue and yet it is so easily prevented!
