🐾 Protect Your Pet from Ticks – A Message from WestVETS 🐾
Did you know just one tick bite can make your pet very sick?
The good news is tick paralysis is highly preventable with regular tick prevention — when given correctly and on time.
✅ Effective tick treatments include:
Simparica
Bravecto
NexGard
Or a long-lasting tick prevention injection
We’ve seen more tick cases this week, so it’s a great reminder to:
💊 Check your pet’s prevention is up to date
🐶🐱 Do a quick daily tick check (they’ll enjoy the extra pats!)
💙 Keep them safe and healthy this season
A little prevention today means a happy, waggy tomorrow.

🎶🐾 When one of our patients decided to sing the song of his people with some very dramatic howls, nothing seemed to settle him… until one of our lovely nurses gave him a cuddle. 💕

Safe to say he was happiest being cradled and comforted in her arms. 🐶✨

We love giving our patients the extra care they need while they’re here with us.

We had quite an unexpected patient slither through our doors, a large python with a big sticky label stuck firmly over its head, keeping its mouth closed! 😧

Our team carefully removed the sticker (a very delicate job with a very strong patient!) and made sure this beautiful snake was safe and could open it’s mouth freely again.

It’s now off to a licensed snake catcher for some TLC before being released back into the wild where it belongs. 🐍💚

This is a good reminder of how important it is to dispose of rubbish properly, something as small as a sticker, plastic band or piece of packaging can cause serious harm to our native wildlife. 🦜🦘🐍

Another win for local wildlife. Though we’ll admit, this one had our hearts racing a little more than usual!

A brand-new week means more cuddles, wagging tails, and purrs from our wonderful patients!

We love what we do, and nothing makes our day brighter than seeing your furry, feathered, and four-legged family members.

Here’s to a great week ahead, we can’t wait to see you!
