Accidental Heavy Metal Overdose Tiny Doopy the toy poodle who weighs just over 2kg was suffering from a rash after grooming. Over the following week, things got worse for poor Doopy, and his owners noticed that he had lost his appetite and had no energy, so he was brought in to Gordon Vet. A blood test showed that Doopy was anaemic because his red blood cells were being destroyed more quickly than his body could make them.
When It Rains It Pours! More Heavy Metal ExposureNot long before we saw Doopy, we had a visit from Jet the burmese cat. Jet had been vomiting and off his food for a few days. We had run a blood test and been treating him with medication for nausea, however things were not getting better and Jet’s family were very concerned. The next step was to take some x-rays of Jet’s abdomen. What showed up was very interesting!
Thunderstorm PhobiaDid you know another name for thunderstorm phobia is Astraphobia? After struggling through a hot Sydney Summer’s day, the evening thunderstorm is often a welcome relief for many of us. It’s a chance to open the windows and enjoy the cool Southerly breeze. Unfortunately many of the four legged members of our families find these sound and light shows terrifying, and can suffer considerably.
