It’s the kind of test you DONT want to test positive for…

PARVO VIRUS is RIFE across NSW at the moment and Gilgandra is getting its fair share.
So. If your dog is :
✅ unvaccinated
✅ overdue for vaccinations
And has:
🩸 Diarrhoea
🤢 Is vomiting
🍗 Inappetant
😴 Lethargic

GET IT CHECKED!
Parvovirus lingers in the soil and anyone and anything can bring it into your yard.🥾 🚘

Not sure if your animals are up to date?

🐴 GET FOAL READY 🐴
It’s foaling time! The most exciting (and stressful) time of year!
Delivering and rearing newborn foals can be a difficult task for any owner and the first few hours are critical!
Consider the rule of 1-2-3
1- The foal should be standing within 1 HOUR
2- The foal should be feeding within 2 HOURS
3- The mare should have passed the placenta within 3 HOURS
An immunity test is also encouraged within 12-24 hours to ensure your foal has consumed enough colostrum to get the best kickstart! (Just like the foal Lucy visited in this photo)

However, consider the 1-2-3s as a GUIDE. If your mare and foal aren’t quite right (lethargic, colicing, laboured breathing) consider phoning sooner!
Early veterinary intervention can make all the different with newborn foals!
Phone us on 6847 1129 to talk to one of our team today!

The grass is green, fresh and oh-so-tasty. 🌱
😋 And our horses are HUNGRY.🤤
We have been seeing an increasing number of horses going down with founder (or laminitis).
Founder is a painful and debilitating disease that causes inflammation to the junction of the pedal bone and hoof wall. When severe, horses can go down and develop changes to their bones that can be life-threatening.
If your horse is prone to founder (ie. a miniature/pony breed or diagnosed with an endocrine disease like Cushings) x-rays may be needed to assess the severity of the changes in their feet and help with therapeutic farriery. 🐎
If your horse has developed sore feet or a reluctance to move, a vet visit may be warranted to make sure it is treated appropriately before it gets worse!
Call Gil Vets today to help get your horse on all 4s! 🥕

With the temperature warming up and moisture in the ground, our parasites are thriving.
Large and small animals are prone to gastrointestinal worms, fleas, mites and ticks. These can all wreak havoc on your animal’s health.
Ensuring your animals are protected against these parasites helps to ensure they are performing at their best!
Not sure what to use?
Stop by the clinic and ask our friendly staff about the choices for your animals today!

🌻 YAY SPRING! 🌻
The long awaited warm weather has returned! The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and the animals are itching. 🌷
Just like human hay fever, dogs and cats can develop seasonal allergies.
These can appear as itchy ears, red eyes or sore feet. If left unattended, itchiness can lead to hair loss and infection 🦠.
Has your pet got an itch that can’t be scratched?
Get it sorted at Gil Vets!
☎️ Phone the clinic to book an appointment today!
