A reminder that ticks are about in force! If heading to the coast or a tick area please have your animal protected! Protection is far more guaranteed than a cure sadly. these were off of ONE dog from the coast!

The kitten avalanche is starting early this year. - So sad.
- Too many cats.
- Not enough homes. Please get your cats desexed now.

Desexing assistance is available.

Prevention is better than waiting for another litter to be born.

We are well into the calving season and there is nothing better than saving a life and getting a live calf ❤
Appointments being made and flexibility with non-urgent work at this time of year is very much appreciated - meaning we can get out to these time-sensitive jobs as quickly as possible and can keep the day flowing smoothly.

This dog was feeling a bit lighter in the foot with this growth removed! The mass was bothering her and getting in the way of work. The surgical site was bandaged for about 10 days to allow it to heal without the stitches getting chewed out or contaminated on the ground. She's back to work now!

Vaginal prolapse in the bitch is commonly triggered by high estrogen levels during a heat cycle, where vaginal tissue becomes exposed. Here you see the prolapse prior to reduction and the stitch in place to hold everything in post reduction. The stitch is only temporary, once the bitch is no longer on heat we recommend desexing. If a bitch is not speyed, the risk of a vaginal prolapse happening again is extremely high, (ranging from 66% to 100%). It almost always recurs during her very next heat cycle. Speying completely eliminates the risk of recurrence. It is also a highly heritable condition and bi***es with it should not be bred from.

The little tick that could!
Over the weekend we had a cat in hospital undergoing treatment for tick paralysis. The interesting thing about this case was that this cat lives in town and had not been anywhere - however, his owners had been to the coast approximately 1 month prior. Paralysis ticks can survive off of a host for up to 90 days and can be transported to the area on clothing, in hay, on stock and wildlife. They are still active though we are in winter because of how mild it has been. Despite living in a low-risk area for paralysis ticks we always have it on the list of causes of sudden paralysis. It is important to keep an eye out for early symptoms e.g. change in voice, hindlimb weakness/paralysis that progresses to forelimbs, cough and inappetence as the sooner these are treated, the better the outcome!

X-raying a pregnant bitch (at around 45+ days of gestation) allows us to get an idea of number of puppies in there. Singleton litters, or litters with low numbers are good to be identified at this time, so we can prepare. The major risk is oversized puppies that physically cannot fit out. The bitch with one pup shown here needed emergency surgery (singleton pup only diagnosed after prolonged labour) and the one with two whelped by herself with no problems but had extra monitoring (two pups identified at routine pre whelp x-rays).
