Volume 2, Issue 11, Nov 09

Summer is almost here—the weather is warming. Ensure your pets are on regular flea/tick  prevention. This month we look at cancer in pets. We also look at how to fight the hidden disease Feline AIDS. Keep Wednesday evening 9th Dec free...

Cheeta treated for cancer

Dr Greg operated on his cat Cheeta at the end of October after finding a lump underneath her belly. Cheeta recovered well from her operation, but the histopathology results from the lab indicated she had a mammary (breast) cancer—and that some cancer cells were left behind...we’ve since gone back and removed, hopefully, the remaining cancer.
Many cancers can be treated in pets, if caught early.

Could your cat have Feline AIDS?

Feline AIDS caused by Feline Immunodeficiency Virus affects around 14% of cats in NSW, but many cats will carry the virus without knowing for many years.

Feline AIDS causes immune depression (as does human AIDS) as well as weight loss, eye problems, mouth disease and ongoing diarrhea.

All outside cats are at risk of Feline AIDS, but vaccination is available to protect our cats.

Pet Product of the Month—

Protect-a-Home Premises Flea Mist and Spray

95% of fleas actually live in the environment, and not on pets.

Protect-a-home Flea Spray can be used around pets bedding, dog kennels and furniture to kill fleas in the environment. Protect-a-home Flea Mist penetrates smaller areas to kill adult environmental fleas.

If you’re seeing a lot of fleas at home, use Protect-a-home Premises flea mist and spray to help get fleas under control.

We recommend monthly flea control on pets (ie Frontline, Advantage) to stop fleas from breeding, and prevent flea infestations on pets.
