Tick Poisoning Alert
Cupcake Party
Greetings!

This is an urgent  note out as we have had two Paralysis tick cases in the past 4 days. Please share this with your friends and neighbours and spread the warning please.

Last summer, we saw very few tick poisoning cases, but quite a few pets with ticks on them  (with no poisoning signs).  This was great, and it showed prevention was best. But it is a shock to have the tick season start so early, and has caught us all unprepared.

A reminder that this Saturday is our Open Day, and a Cupcake Party raising funds for the RSPCA. All funds collected on the day will go towards funds against Animal Cruelty.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dr Liz

Tick Poisoning Alert

Are you prepared?

 

We don't want to panic anyone but it is an early start to the tick season. After a wet summer, a strange winter, and the mid winter warmth, the ticks are out.

 

Tick
Ages of Ticks

Treatment for tick poisoning is available at Russell Vale vets, but we prefer to educate and prevent. 

 

All animals other than the bandicoot can be affected - over the years I have seen a kangaroo, magpie, chicken and possums with tick poisoning.

 

Prevention includes daily tick searches. Other options include

- fortnightly Frontline spot on or three week Frontline spray for cats and dogs

- fortnightly Advantix spot on for dogs (not recommended for white fluffy dogs)

- monthly tick collars for dogs

- weekly Permoxin spray (for dogs only).

 

Also - keep the lawns short (sorry guys!)

- avoid bushy areas

 

There are no options for ferrets, rabbits and guinea pigs, so searches for these guys please.

 

 

Make sure our after hours numbers are put into your phone ready to go, or remember our web address www.animalclinic.com.au (smart phone friendly).
