Spring has sprung, and with it comes one of our busiest times of year in clinic. ๐ป๐ธ๐ฑ๐ผ
During Spring time and the warmer weather there are a few extra things to keep an eye on for your pets:
* Fleas & ticks โ warmer weather means increased parasite activity, so make sure preventatives are up to date.
* Grass seeds โ particularly important for our long haired dogs. Check paws, ears, eyes and between toes after walks.
* Allergies โ increased pollen and grasses can trigger itchy skin, paws and ears.
* Ear infections โ heat, humidity and allergies can contribute to recurring ear problems.
* Snake bites โ snakes become more active as temperatures rise, particularly around long grass and bushland.
* Bee & wasp stings โ these donโt just hurt humans!
* Toxic plants & flowers โ spring gardening can introduce plants that are dangerous to dogs and cats.
