🌟 Fun Fact Friday - Cats Have a Lot to Say! 🌟

Did you know ❓

Cats can have an incredibly varied vocal repertoire, with some sources suggesting they can produce dozens of different sounds! 😸
From meows, chirps and trills to purrs, hisses and growls, cats have plenty of ways to get their message across.

Interestingly, cats use many of these sounds specifically when communicating with humans. 🐱💕

Dogs have their own impressive communication toolkit too, but they rely much more heavily on body language, facial expressions and scent, as well as barking, whining and growling. 🐶

Does your cat have a special sound that you know exactly how to interpret❓

🌟 Seasonal Allergies and Dogs 🌟

Seasonal allergies are a common cause of skin and ear problems seen in dogs during Springtime. They are typically brought on by tree and grass pollen, dust and dust mites, mould and mould mites, flea bites and fresh grass. 🌾🌸☀️

Signs often include itchy skin or ear infections, however other indications may include:
🔹runny nose
🔹sneezing
🔹red or swollen eyes

A diagnosis can be determined by a thorough allergy questionnaire, skin testing and/or running a blood test. If your pet suffers from ongoing itchiness or skin problems, please call us and book an allergy consultation today. 📞

🌟 Spring Health - Grooming for Cats 🌟

As the weather warms up, your cat will start shedding their winter coat - which means more loose fur around the house (and on your clothes!). Regular grooming not only keeps their coat healthy but also helps reduce furballs and gives you a chance to spot any fleas, ticks or skin issues early.

✨ Spring grooming tips:
✔️ Brush regularly to remove loose fur and prevent matting.
✔️ Watch out for grass seeds, which can get tangled in fur and cause irritation.
✔️ Trim nails if needed.
✔️ Check for lumps, bumps or sore spots while brushing.
❌ Never use scissors to cut out knots - it’s easy to accidentally cut the skin. Instead, use a detangling comb - or seek professional help from a groomer or our vets.

A little extra grooming this season goes a long way to keeping your cat happy, healthy and comfortable 🌸🐱

🌟 Proudly Independent and Family Owned 🌟

At Oakleigh Central Vet, being a family-owned clinic means more than just being a business—it's a way of life. Here's why it matters:

🚫 There are no shareholders. The practice owners live and shop in the area. The money earned by the clinic stays in the local community.
🏥 Corporate owned clinics often lack strong highly experienced veterinary leaders.
👩‍⚕️ Corporate owned clinics are managed by their corporate office, and they have no idea what the local community needs or wants.
📈 Corporate clinics are thus run by spreadsheets and data driven, putting pressure on staff to achieve high sales performance.

Thank you for being part of our family! We look forward to continuing to serve you and your pets with dedication, passion and our gold standards of care. 🐱❤️

🌟 Where do paralysis ticks prefer to hide? 🌟

An Australian study has revealed where paralysis ticks are most likely to attach on dogs and cats. Over 10,000 tick paralysis cases were analysed, providing valuable information on where to focus first when searching for ticks. 🕷️

As well as using an effective tick control product, daily searching and removal of ticks is recommended. Importantly, for pets suffering from tick paralysis, finding and removing the tick as quickly as possible can be life-saving.

The study also found some unusual attachment sites:
🔹Ear canal
🔹Inside the mouth
🔹Nostrils
🔹Under tail or ge***al areas

Remember, prevention is always better than cure. If you would like to know more about tick prevention please call and chat to one of our friendly nurses. 📞
