With H5 bird flu detected in Australian wildlife, it is important to know what to do if you find an unwell or deceased bird. 🐦

Follow three steps: Avoid. Record. Report.

Avoid touching or moving the bird, and keep children and pets away. Record the date, time and location, and take a photo or video from a safe distance if possible.

Report it to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888. 📞 Follow the instructions provided about collection or disposal. Do not bring sick or dead wildlife into the clinic.

Dogs with a history of pancreatitis are often advised to eat a low-fat diet to reduce the risk of flare-ups. 🐶

Most therapeutic low-fat diets contain around 10–15% fat on a dry-matter basis, though your vet will tailor this to your dog’s individual needs. 🥣

Avoiding fatty treats, table scraps, and rich foods is just as important as choosing the right main diet.

If your dog has had pancreatitis before, ask us about a suitable long-term feeding plan. 🩺

Modern veterinary anaesthesia is generally very safe, although no anaesthetic is completely risk-free. 🩺 Risk is reduced through pre-anaesthetic health checks, tailored drug protocols, and continuous monitoring throughout the procedure. Age, breed, and existing health conditions may increase the risk, which is why we often recommend pre-anaesthetic blood tests. 🩸

Worried about your pet’s upcoming procedure? Chat with us beforehand about their individual risk. 🐾

Sudden lameness can stem from a minor sprain, a grass seed or thorn, a torn nail, or something more serious like a fracture or cruciate ligament injury. 🐕

If your dog is holding the leg up completely, crying in pain, has swelling or heat, or the leg is in an obviously abnormal position, seek veterinary care promptly. ⚠️

If mild lameness hasn’t improved after a day of rest, it’s also time for a vet visit. Early assessment helps us treat the cause and keep your dog comfortable. 🩺

For mild, short-lived tummy upsets, a bland diet may help some dogs and cats. 🐶🐱 Boiled, skinless chicken breast or lean white fish with plain boiled rice or pumpkin are easy, gentle options. Feed small, frequent meals rather than one large serve, and gradually reintroduce your pet’s normal food over a few days once symptoms settle.

These home-prepared diets aren’t complete and balanced, so they should only be used short term and ideally under veterinary guidance. 🥣

If vomiting is repeated, diarrhoea is severe, appetite is poor, or your pet seems unwell, please book a vet check promptly. 🩺

Probiotics may support gut health, particularly after antibiotic use, during stressful periods, or for pets with sensitive tummies. 🦠 Not every pet needs one, though, and quality varies widely between products.

Look for a veterinary-specific probiotic with documented strains and an adequate viable colony count, rather than a human product. 🐾 If your pet has ongoing digestive issues, a probiotic isn’t a substitute for investigating the underlying cause.

Ask us for more information. 🩺

Supermarket ‘pet meat’ is often labelled ‘not fit for human consumption’ and isn’t produced to the same food-safety standards as meat sold for people. 🥩 It can carry a higher risk of bacterial contamination and, in some cases, contain sulphite preservatives that can cause serious thiamine deficiency in cats and dogs. ⚠️

If feeding raw meat, choose human-grade options, and store and handle them carefully.

Ask us about safe ways to include meat in your pet’s diet. 🐾

A good-quality, complete and balanced dry food can meet all of your dog’s nutritional needs on its own. 🐶

Kibble is convenient and cost-effective. Some specially formulated dental kibbles can help reduce plaque and tartar, but standard dry food shouldn’t be relied on to clean your dog’s teeth. 🦷 Wet food isn’t essential, though it can help boost hydration or tempt fussy eaters. The most important thing is choosing a diet labelled ‘complete and balanced’ for your dog’s life stage. 🥣

Unsure if your dog’s food ticks the box? Ask us at their next visit.

Chronic kidney disease is common in older cats, and diet plays a major role in management.

🐱 Prescription renal diets are lower in phosphorus and contain carefully controlled levels of high-quality protein, which can help slow disease progression and ease symptoms. They’re formulated differently from standard ‘senior’ foods, so it’s important to use a vet-recommended option. 🥣

If your cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease, ask us which renal diet best suits their needs. 🩺

With H5 bird flu detected in wildlife across several Australian states, you may be wondering whether your pets are at risk. 🐦

Bird flu mainly affects birds. Although the risk to cats and dogs remains low, close contact with infected wildlife, including eating an infected bird, may result in infection.

Keep cats indoors or in secure enclosures, and dogs on a lead around beaches, wetlands and other wildlife areas. Prevent pets from hunting, scavenging or approaching sick or dead wildlife. 🐾

Concerned about possible exposure? Contact our team for advice.
