‼️ TICK SEASON ‼️
Spring has sprung, and with the onset of spring we are seeing and hearing of more and more tick cases in and around Brisbane. Make sure your furry family members are covered with a reliable product and perform tick searches regularly, especially if you’ve done a walk through bushland (for instance, Mt Coot-tha).
Most commonly used (reliable) products include Bravecto, Nexgard (or nexgard spectra), simparica trio, credelio plus, and seresto flea & tick collars.
There is a new exciting product available now at your veterinary clinic which is a once a year injectable product for 12-month coverage of ticks. If you’d like more information on this product, do not hesitate to contact the clinic on (07) 3369 3444 to speak to one of our friendly staff members.

It was an absolute pleasure to see Maggie May come in today with her infamous tail wagging and Labrador love of food. We are so happy to see her back to her usual, happy self.
Maggie May serves as a cautionary tale with our older pets - that they will still eat things that they shouldn’t.
Thank you to her lovely owner, @danyellebritz for this message.

Rumisiel (Rumi) came in for his routine dental clean on Friday. As with many cats that we see, Rumi had Feline Resorptive lesions (otherwise known as feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions or neck lesions). The lesions are caused by the cat’s own cells (odontoclasts) destroying the tooth from under the enamel (the dentin). This results in sensitive teeth and once the nerve becomes exposed, it can be intensely painful.
This condition is common, affecting ~20-60% of all cats and close to 75% of those over 5 years age.
Cats with these lesions often swallow dry food whole, or preference chewing on one side of their mouth. Some may show a sudden preference for wet food. If severe enough, it can cause sudden loss of appetite, though this is often transient, only lasting 24-72 hours.
Routine professional dental care/assessment will often pick up these lesions well before you notice any symptoms in your cat. If you would like your cat checked, please don’t hesitate to give us a call on (07) 3369 3444.

DID YOU KNOW 🔎
Due to how the gene that carries coat colour is inherited (on the X chromosome), 80% of ginger cats will be male. That means that only 1 in 5 ginger cats will be female. Sophie represents the minority of ginger cats that are female. Sophie is as lovely in temperament as she is in beauty and was a pleasure to have as a patient last week.
We’d love to see some photos of some of the other ginger cats out there!

🦷 Dental Queen 🦷
Sheik, a very friendly elderly cat came in for a dental scale and polish today. At an estimated 17 years of age, and no prior dental work, she had quite the collection of plaque and calculus on her teeth - and quite the breath to match! She was very lucky that once we had done a thorough clean of her teeth and taken full mouth dental radiographs, we found no reason to extract any teeth. Sheik now has pearly white teeth and a fresh breath to match!

🦷 Dental King & Queen 🦷
Mei Mei and her brother Vespucci (not pictured) were the perfect patients for their routine dental scale and polish earlier this week. At only 4.5 years of age, their owners are being proactive with their dental care which we love to see as this aids in avoiding severe dental disease (and extractions!). Mei Mei and Vespucci now have pearly white teeth and a fresh breath to match!

What to do when you find a fledgling (baby bird):
It is best to try to reunite the baby bird with its parents, as they’re the best teachers for their young.
In order to do this, place the bird on a low branch or in a bush and watch to see if the parents come to feed it.
You can also place the baby bird in a bucket with a few drainage holes and some leaf litter and place this in a tree. Placing a stick in the bucket on an angle will help the parents gain easy access. This ‘home away from home’ will protect the fledglings and baby birds from predators.
If no parents come to the baby bird, then it is wise to hand it in to your local vet clinic.
