Christmas-Chu 🎄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pika and Rai came to visit all ready for Christmas!! 😍Pika is a 4 year old Cavoodle and Rai, a 4 year old German Spitz. Pika was wearing a little Santa hat 🎅🏻with reindeer ears 🦌 and Rai had the Christmas spirit (he doesn’t like hats, but didn’t want to be left out!) ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To add to their cuteness, their mum's name is Natasha Choo, so Pika and Rai’s full names are Pika Choo and Rai Choo (The Pokémon’s “Pikachu” and “Raichu”) 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy

Itchy Ears 👂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Poppy 🐱2½ year old Domestic Short Haired Cat. Poppy visited Dr Melissa for her annual health check and vaccinations ✅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During her check up Poppy's owner mentioned that Poppy had been itching behind her ears. As part of Poppy's annual health check Dr Melissa checked her ears and then took a swab. This swab was checked under the microscope 🔬and Dr Melissa found ear mites. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ear mites are a very tiny parasite that crawls into your cat's ear and sets up house. They will breed and if left can cause serious complications. Most cats will show signs of irritation and almost contact ear scratching and head shaking. With a simple treatment cats will recover, just like Poppy did, and those itchy, scratchy symptoms will cease 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our small friends tell us what is going on by their behaviour. These changes may be subtle. Has your small friend's behaviour or mood changed recently? Maybe that is a sign of something not quite right. Call us ☎️on 6262 2233 for an appointment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sorry if this post made you itchy...😖😆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra
