Meet Bandit

In August this year Bandit presented to our clinic with vomiting, lethargy and seizure activity. Following further investigation he was later diagnosed with (CDI).
CENTRAL DIABETES INSIPIDUS

🐶 What is Central Diabetes Insipidus in Dogs? 💧

Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a very rare condition that affects a dog’s ability to regulate water balance. It occurs when the brain doesn’t produce or release enough antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which normally helps the kidneys retain water.

CDI can be congenital (present from birth) or develop following injury or disease affecting the brain. Diagnosis may involve blood and urine tests, alongside further investigations to rule out other causes of excessive drinking and urination.

The good news is that with appropriate management and veterinary care Bandits condition is now regulated and he is back doing what he loves most working in the sheep yards! 🐑❤️

🐾We love seeing our patients recover and Bandit has definitely become a favourite in the clinic. 🐾

Patient of the week ✨

Nifty the Great Dane puppy has had a bit of a rough start after coming in with a broken leg.
Despite the injury, she has been such a brave little patient!

Nifty will be living with her bandage for a couple weeks depending on her bone reforming and how quickly her leg grows! We need the bandage to stay in the right spot to promote correct healing, so when her leg grows her bandage does too!

We’re sure this little one will be back on all four paws before we know it💕🐾

Patient of the week ✨

Meet Molly,

Molly was brought into the clinic with concerns from her owner about a lump on the side of her face near her eye. On examination the veterinarian has found a fracture on the carnassial tooth, which is the largest tooth a dog has!!

Molly had her fractured tooth removed during a general anaesthetic dental procedure and is recovering very well. She has come back for her follow up appointment to ensure she is healing well.

❤️🐾 LACEY HAS BEEN SO BRAVE! 🐾❤️

Meet Lacey, who has been an absolute trooper fighting through a suspected snake bite. 🐍

Snake bites can be life-threatening for our beloved pets, and Lacey has shown just how important prompt veterinary treatment can be. She has been so brave throughout her treatment, and our team at Parkes Veterinary Hospital is giving her all the care, comfort and support she needs. ❤️

With snake season here, it’s important for every pet owner to know the warning signs.

🐾 SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF A SNAKE BITE MAY INCLUDE:
• Sudden weakness, wobbliness or collapse
• Vomiting
• Dilated pupils
• Difficulty breathing
• Trembling or muscle weakness
• Bleeding or unusual bruising
• Progressive paralysis

Symptoms can vary, and you may not see obvious bite marks.

🚨 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU SUSPECT A SNAKE BITE?
🐍 Keep your pet as calm and still as possible.
🐍 Carry them if you can do so safely, and restrict movement.
🐍 Contact us ASAP
🐍 Do not wait for symptoms to appear or try to catch the snake.

Every minute counts. Early veterinary treatment can make a difference.

From all of us at Parkes Veterinary Hospital, we’re sending Lacey lots of love as she continues her recovery. ❤️

Please share this post to help spread awareness and keep our furry friends safe this snake season.

Patient of the week 🐾

✨Diesel ✨

Diesel visited our clinic recently for routine bloodwork to ensure he is fit and healthy.
Diesel was an excellent patient for his blood draw.

We often get asked;
Why is blood work important for your dog?

Blood tests are a great way of keeping your furry friend healthy. They can give us a much greater picture of what’s happening inside their body — even when they seem perfectly happy and healthy on the outside.

Blood work can help us check things like liver and kidney function, blood cells, hydration, blood sugar and overall health. It can also help detect early signs of illness and disease that may not be obvious yet.

We regularly use blood work for senior pets, pets who are unwell, before surgery, or when starting or continuing certain medications.

Remember, healthy on the outside doesn’t always mean healthy on the inside!

Spring has sprung — and that means wildlife babies are starting to appear! 🌸

We recently had this little baby possum brought into the clinic, which is a great reminder that spring is an important time to keep an eye out for our local wildlife.

As the weather warms up, many native animals become more active, and young wildlife may be seen exploring, learning to climb and finding their way around.

If you come across any wildlife, please don’t assume it has been abandoned. Mum may be nearby or returning to collect her baby.

⚠️ If the animal is injured, cold, very young, or you’re concerned about its condition:
CONTACT WIRES: 1300 094 737
• Keep it warm, quiet and safe
• Avoid giving food or water unless advised by a wildlife carer or veterinarian
• Keep dogs and cats away
• Remember the location at which the animal was collected from
