General Advice for Your Pet
When patting you pet it is
not uncommon to find a lump or bump that ‘wasn’t there before’. In most cases
there is no need to panic, but a visit to your veterinarian is strongly
advised.

Obesity is a very common problem in our pets. The health risks to overweight animals are serious and pet owners should be aware of them. You are literally killing your pet with kindness. Not only can obesity result in diabetes and liver disease, but if an animal is carrying extra weight around, it can result in damage to bones, joints and ligaments. Pets can develop serious joint complications and arthritis causes pain, stiffness and a reluctance to move. Your pet’s ability to play may be severely compromised.

Weight is an important indicator of the health of our pets. Our pets come in all shapes and sizes. We worry if they are overweight, because they become sluggish and are at risk from diseases such as diabetes, liver disease and arthritis. We try to limit their food intake and provide adequate exercise to reduce their weight.

 One
of the most important things we can do to keep our pets ears clean and
free from disease is to clean them periodically. This is particularly
important if your pet has had ear infections before, or if it is a
breed prone to ear problems such as German Shepherds, Spaniels, or any
dog with long floppy ears.

Chinchillas belong to the rodent family and originally came from South America. Their numbers became much diminished towards the end of the 19th century as they were hunted for their lovely dense, velvet-like fur. It is now illegal to hunt wild Chinchillas for their fur, but there are commercial farms in operation.

If your cat or dog seems to be drinking more water than usual it is worth taking note of this as it could be the first sign of a health problem. Sometimes it can be a sudden change and other times it can be a gradual increase over several months, either way it would be advisable to take your pet to see their vet.
