Meet Toast 💚
Once a stray kitten, Toast was found near a busy road and brought to our North Parramatta clinic. Despite ongoing diarrhoea, she remained a playful and loving cat. While we trialled treatments and different foods, we knew a home would be best for her.
Now adopted by a wonderful couple, Toast is thriving in her forever home! To support her ongoing care, we’ve provided a Healthy Pets Plus membership to help her new owners with her gut health journey and ongoing medical costs.
Welcome home, Toast! 🐾

Dental disease is not just something experienced by senior pets with younger pets showing signs.

If your pet shows signs of bad breath, discoloured teeth or excessive drooling they may be in the early stages of dental disease.

So next time you're booking your dental appointment, remember to also book your furry friend in to get theirs checked as well.

Until 30 September, get $50 off a stage 1 dental scale & polish at your local Greencross Vets clinic. T&Cs apply.

🐕 PARVOVIRUS CASES ON THE CENTRAL COAST and NEWCASTLE 🐈‍⬛️

A warning to all PET owners, there are current confirmed cases of both CANINE and FELINE parvovirus on the Central Coast and Newcastle areas.
Yes CATS have a Parvovirus too!

How is Parvovirus spread?
It is spread through contaminated faeces and contaminated surfaces. The highly contagious virus can be present for months and years.
- The environment. Including the ground, concrete, trees.
- Toys, bedding, litter trays and other objects.
- Our hands, shoes and clothing.
- Our pets fur and paws.

SYMPTOMS include:
- Diarrhoea, often with blood.
- Vomiting.
- Lack of appetite.
- Lethargy or weakness.
- Abdominal pain or bloating.
- Low or high temperatures.

PREVENTION of Parvovirus:
- Make sure all puppies/dogs and kittens/cats are up to date with vaccinations.
- Puppies and don't have full immunity until after 2 weeks after their final booster vaccinations. Don't walk puppies outside your home until after this time.
- Limit access to high risk areas such as dog parks and heavily frequented areas, especially when your pet is unwell.

How is Parvovirus diagnosed?
- A simple test in the clinic that takes 10 minutes.

How is Parvovirus treated?
- There is NO cure!
- Treatment is supportive care, which usually means multiple days hospitalised with fluids and medications until the pet is well enough to go home. These treatments can be costly, and doesn't guarantee your pet will recover.

If you believe your pet may be infected with Parvovirus:
- Isolate your pet immediately.
- Webvet. Video call with a Vet, 24/7 (link bellow)
- Contact us on 43464009, or your local vet clinic to arrange an appointment.
- In severe cases, call your local emergency clinic.

Meet Groot!

Groot, a Spiny Leaf Insect, has been a much loved member of the Greencross West Gosford team since November. In this time she has more than doubled in size.

Make sure to say hi when you are in the clinic.

Fun facts about Spiny Leaf Insects!
🍃 Females can grow to around 20cm in length, whereas males grow to about 11cms and can grow wings!
🍂 They love to eat eucalyptus leaves.
🍃 Females don't need a male to produce fertilised eggs! They use a form of reproduction called parthenogenesis, where all her eggs will develop into female clones of herself.

Beautiful Cali came in today for her desexing procedure.

A gorgeous little lady with a big smile and big personality.
