Lets talk Dental Care...

Dental care is an essential component of a preventive healthcare plan. We provide quality dental care that will give optimum health and improve quality of life for your pet. Dental diseases if left untreated, are not only painful, but can contribute to other local or systemic diseases. It is always important to have your pet’s teeth cleaned professionally, but many times that is not the primary treatment your pet needs. Many pets have other dental problems that predispose them to an unhealthy mouth. A thorough oral exam allows us to identify tooth malformations, malocclusions (misaligned teeth), gum disease, oral masses, and other diseases that might contribute to your pet’s dental disease. In addition, Horses have dental alignment that is unique to their species and requires regular maintenance and care. We provide preventative dental care, including periodic exams which help to identify potential problems that can lead to tooth loss. Whether it is removal of wolf teeth or performing bite correction in seniors allows your horse

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions​

 

Puppies are protected against many infectious diseases through compounds called antibodies, which they receive in the first few hours from their mother's milk (colostrum). Early vaccination is pointless because these antibodies prevent vaccines working properly. However, by about six weeks the immunity provided by the mother begins to wear off. Therefore, puppies should be given their first vaccination at about 6-8 weeks and then given a second vaccination at about 8 - 10 weeks. The last set of vaccinations should be given around 12 weeks. Once puppies are vaccinated they can mix with other dogs. Early socialisation is beneficially for development. Until your puppy has received all its injections (and for a few days after), it should not mix with other dogs unless you can be certain that they are fully vaccinated and free of disease.

Dogs are vaccinated against the following diseases routinely, and they should be repeated annually:-

  1. Canine distemper (hard pad)

  2. Canine Infectious Hepatitis (adenovirus 1)

  3. Canine parvovirus ('parvo')

  4. Leptospirosis (Weil's disease)

  5. Kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis)

  6. Rabies

 

Kittens are given their initial vaccinations when they are about 6-8 weeks of age, with the final booster being given no sooner than 12-16 weeks of age. For cats older than 16 weeks of age, two doses of vaccine are given 3-4 weeks apart. Thereafter, booster vaccinations are annually here in tropical climate with so many stray animals. In temperate countries or in areas with low risk of exposure, revaccination is suggested every 3 years.

 

The core vaccines give to kittens and cats are those for:-

1. Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV1)

2. Feline calicivirus (FCV),

3. Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and

4. Rabies.

Recommended Age for Neutering?

 
The recommended age for puppies and kittens is usually 6 - 12 months preferrably before first oestrus (heat). For bitches and queens, this should be done either 2-4 months after oestrus (heat) or 6-8 weeks post-partum (after delivery). For the females the surgery is called ovariohysterectomy and it is a major surgery. It involves the removal of the uterus and both ovaries, and it is commonly called spaying. For males, the procedure is called castration and involves the removal of both testes and the associated epididymes. Neutering is used to refer to both male and female surgeries. Collectively, these surgeries are also refered to as gonadectomy, meaning removal of the gonads or reproductive organs.

Uses and Advantages of Neutering?
  1. Prevention of oestrus.
  2. Control of breeding by sterilization.
  3. Prophylaxis of mammary neoplasia if performed early - preferably before the first heat.
  4. Reduced prevalence of acquired inguinal hernias.
  5. Prevention of ovarian neoplasia.
  6. Prevention of abnormal oestral cycles.
  7. Prevention of uterine neoplasia.
  8. Prevention of pyometra/cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) .
  9. Prevention of acute metritis .
  10. Prevention of haemometrium.
  11. Prevention of subinvolution of placental sites.
  12. Prevention of uterine prolapse .
  13. Prevention of uterine torsion.
  14. Prevention of uterine rupture.
  15. Prevention of foetal death/mummification/maceration/dystocia .
  16. Prevention of abortion .
  17. Prevention of vaginal hyperplasia/prolapse.
  18. Prevention of benign vaginal tumors .
  19. Management of diabetes mellitus .
