We would like you to meet Sunny! ( @sunnycatautumn

We would like you to meet Sunny! ( @sunnycatautumncat )☀️🐱 Sunny is a gorgeous female Siamese who had the unfortunate luck of being hit by a car. Investigations showed that this little girl badly damaged her knee from the impact leaving it unstable and affecting her mobility. Her dedicated owners drove her to us at Nicklin Way Vets all the way from Airlie Beach for surgery!
Dr Doug was able to operate on Sunny and remove the ruptured cruciate ligaments, a piece of damaged cartilage and meniscus in her knee! The damage to Sunny’s knee was so traumatic it needed additional support beyond a normal knee repair. This meant the placement of a temporary pin, which could later be removed.
Sunny was in the hospital for nearly 6 weeks for rehab until she was eating and drinking on her own and toileting comfortably. She was a fantastic patient who allowed us to provided her with physiotherapy and lots of cuddles every day! When she was well enough to travel one of our generous nurses drove her back to Airlie beach to her loving parents as she was not able to fly!
We checked in with Sunny and her parents not too long ago and it is all good news, Sunny is very happy and even able to run around a little bit now! ✨

🐾 Sustainable pet ownership 🐾 Caring about

🐾 Sustainable pet ownership 🐾

Caring about our planet as best as possible is a great way to kick off 2020. So what can you do as pet owners to ensure that we protect the planet and make sustainable choices as often as possible? Here are six top tips for sustainable pet ownership:

1. Buy in bulk - buying bigger bags of pet food reduces the use of plastic packaging. Remember that you can recycle your soft plastics (dry pet food bags) at participating supermarkets. If your pet gets wet food, recycle the aluminium tins (remember wash them out and remove the label before putting them in the recycling bin). 2. Deal with poo properly - keep it out of our fragile waterways (reducing potential contamination) by always picking up your dog’s poo. ALWAYS use a biodegradable dog poo bag as this will ensure the poo and the bag will break down.

3. Choose responsibly made pet toys and pet bedding - choose well made products such as good quality bedding, collars and leads. Invest in a product that will last longer and won’t just end up in landfill in a few months. Use recycled paper cat litter in the litter tray too!

4. Adopt a pet - save a life! This is a no-brainer when it comes to caring about pets and making sustainable choices for the planet.

5. Protect our wildlife - our wildlife is precious. Keep cats inside from dusk to dawn and place a bell on their collar when they are outside. Keep dogs leashed and under control at all times unless they are in a designated off leash area.

If you have any other great ideas for sustainable pet ownership, we’d love to hear about them! 🐶🐱🐾

How you can help our wildlife this summer 🦜🐨

How you can help our wildlife this summer 🦜🐨 At this time of the year, it is not uncommon for us to see wildlife suffering from heat stress and dehydration. Birds, possums and koalas are often the ones commonly affected and it’s handy to know what to look out for and how you can help.

Signs of heat stress: - Weak and lethargic - Confused - Venturing down to ground level searching for water (especially possums and koalas) - Birds opening their beaks constantly or holding their wings away from their body

How you can help our native furry and feathered friends at home?
Provide multiple containers of water around your garden at varying heights - try and put them in protected areas such as hidden under a bush amongst the garden so the animals feel safe. Don't forget to place a stick or rock in the water, so if an animal falls in, they won't drown. Be sure to keep your dogs and cats away from wildlife to allow them to come down and drink safely.

What should you do if you find injured or heat stressed wildlife?
We recommend you have a read of the information provided here(https://www.wwf.org.au/news/blogs/what-to-do-with-injured-wildlife#gs.qpsnn8). It gives detailed instructions on helping wildlife affected by bushfires but is also applicable for many situations. Remember, whenever you are helping wildlife you need to make sure YOU are safe (a good example of this is when you stop to check wildlife on the side of the road as other traffic can pose as a potential hazard to you). Always make YOUR safety the priority!

If ever you have any questions about wildlife, we are always here to help 🐾
