🐾 Tick Season Alert! 🐾

We’ve just seen our first case of tick paralysis this week, which means those pesky paralysis ticks are officially back on the move!

What you need to know:
✅ Paralysis ticks are most active during the warmer months, but we often start seeing them as early as now.
✅ Even pets that mostly stay at home or live in town can pick up ticks.
✅ Symptoms to watch for include:
– Weakness or wobbliness in the back legs
– Vomiting, retching, or coughing
– Difficulty breathing
– A change in your pet’s bark or meow

Remember: prevention is always better (and safer) than treatment!
✔️ Check your pets daily, especially around the head, neck, chest, and between the toes.
✔️ Keep lawns and gardens trimmed to reduce tick habitats.
✔️ Use a vet-recommended tick prevention product consistently.

We now have the new Bravecto Quantum injection available at the clinic – this provides year-round tick paralysis protection for dogs with just a single annual injection. 🐶💉
✨ A quick jab costs less than an ICU stay!

If you notice any of the signs above, treat it as an emergency and contact us immediately.
Early treatment truly saves lives! ❤️

Stay safe this tick season! 🌿🪳
If you’d like to know more about the Bravecto Quantum injection or other tick prevention options, give us a call or pop in for a chat.

My horse, DD became unwell just before the deluge occurred here. Singleton Veterinary Hospital Pty Ltd were able to send a Vet out at short notice. I had not picked up that it was an abscess, but he was limping. They came out twice to check on him, but the it was up to me! We ran out of bandages and couldn't get into town for a few days. So we had to improvise I used an old sling, and Crepe bandages and tape over the top. It seems to be working so far. He has been confined to his stable most of the time, but today Sunshine at long last the walkway has dried up, and he is now hoeing into the tiny tomatoes that have self seeded. He is feeling much happier. I am happy too, as he is so chilled out he just allows me to get the job done. No halter required!

Finn was the very best boy for his first ever blood donation 🩸
Thank you Finn, for your life saving donation 🙏🏻

Last week resident dog Finn, who is only 11 months, calmly gave his first blood donation.🩸💉 Something only a small number of dogs can do—and in doing so he showed just how far dedication can take a breed that many people still misunderstand. One donation like Finn’s can help save up to three critically ill dogs, and he’ll be back every three months to do it again.

Signing a dog up isn’t simple: donors must weigh at least 20 kg, be under 7 and in perfect health, and—hardest of all—stay completely relaxed while the team shaves, swabs and finds a vein.
Getting a Maremma to that point takes hard work. These dogs are bred to think for themselves and guard livestock, and their independence means they’re rarely a good fit for novice owners. Give them the right start and the right tools, though, and they’ll smash every “untrainable, stubborn and aggressive” stereotype.

We’re proud to call Finn ours and watch him grow into a brilliant breed ambassador. Huge thanks to Singleton Veterinary Hospital for always taking such great care of the animals from Hunter Valley Maremma Haven and Hunter Valley Cat Haven—your support means the world. 🐻‍❄️🤍
