🌟Patient Highlight🌟

Meet Alfie:
Alfie presented to the clinic with acute onset facial paralysis, locked jaw and a stiff neck, the team quickly acted and came to a diagnosis of Tetanus.
Alfie quickly received Tetanus antitoxin which stopped the progression, Alfie then started his long road to recovery.
Alfie spent a total of 10 days at the clinic under the care of our amazing veterinary and nursing team.
We were so happy to see Alfie improve and go home to his amazing mum!

🦠 What is tetanus?
Tetanus is caused by a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium tetani, usually entering the body through a wound or puncture (even a small one you may not notice).

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
- Stiffness, especially in the legs or neck
- Trouble walking or eating
- Rigid, “smiling” facial expression
- Muscle spasms
- Seizures

🤩 DENTAL MONTH CONTINUES 🤩

For the month of August here at Uni Ave Vets we are offering 20% off all scale and polishes for your pets 🐾🪥

Why a professional dental clean is so important:
✨ Fresher breath – No more “puppy” or “kitty” breath that makes you turn away.
✨ Prevent pain – Dental disease is painful, but pets often hide it.
✨ Better overall health – Untreated dental disease can affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.
✨ Keep teeth longer – Regular cleaning means fewer extractions in the future.

A veterinary dental clean is much more than a quick brush – we scale away tartar (even under the gumline where problems hide), polish the teeth, and check for any hidden issues.

🩺 Healthy teeth = a healthier, happier pet!

📅 Book your pet’s dental check today and give them the gift of a pain-free smile.

🧨🎆 CRACKER NIGHT 🎆🧨

Territory day is fast approaching.
As fireworks light up the sky, let's not forget our four-legged family members who may find the noise terrifying. Here are a few tips to keep your dog safe and calm:

✅ Keep Them Indoors – Even the most secure backyard can't compete with a frightened dog’s instinct to run.
✅ Create a Safe Space – Set up a cozy area with their favorite blanket or toy where they feel secure.
✅ Drown Out the Noise – Use white noise machines, fans, or calming music to mask the sound.
✅ ID Tags & Microchips – Just in case they do get out, make sure they're easily identifiable and check your details are current.
📞 Give us a call – If your dog gets extremely anxious, call your vet ahead of time to discuss calming aids or sedatives.

If your pets require a little extra help to feel safe this cracker night please contact the clinic on 8931 0455 to speak to our friendly staff.

Fireworks can be fun for us, but they’re often frightening for pets. Let’s be mindful and help our dogs and cats feel safe this season. 🐶🐱💙

Why We Keep Showing Up⁉️

🤯 On average 264 healthy dogs and cats are killed every day across Australia in pounds and shelters.

🐾 Every week. Every year. No matter what.
We're not in it for recognition. We're here because desexing isn't just a campaign — it's a long-term commitment.

🗓️ It's not a one-off initiative or a task to check off. It's consistent, determined, compassionate prevention.
Week after week, month after month.

♻️We believe everyone has a role to play — every clinic, every rescue group, every council. But desexing can't be treated like a temporary project. Cats and dogs don’t follow a schedule. The problem doesn’t take breaks. Desexing needs to be accessible all year, for everyone.

🚫We do draw a line at pedigree breeds. If you can afford a pedigree, you can afford desexing. Charity resources should go where they’re genuinely needed — not where they’re simply convenient to take.

💚At DACS, we don't forget what matters most:
The welfare of the animal. Stopping the breeding cycle.

🌎 Protecting our environment. Educating people to do better.

💪🏼 That's why we keep going. That's why we always will.

🐕 🐈 If you own a cat or a dog — desexing them isn't optional. It's lifesaving.

❤️‍🩹We rely on the communities generous donations to be able to continue our mission!

🙏🏼Every single donation helps no matter the size!

All donations are EOFY tax deductible 👏🏼
