Information

Arthritis
Arthritis involves painful, degenerative joint disease that results from excessive stress placed on joints, resulting in pain and inflammation. In most cases, the degree of arthritis is related to the age and size of the animal.
Brachycephalic Dogs
Brachycephalic dogs have compressed, shortened skull and a characteristic pushed in face appearance. Common breeds include: English, British and French Bulldogs, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Pugs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Shih Tzu and Pekinese, to name a few.
Canine Cruciate Ligament Rupture
Cruciate Ligament rupture is a common knee injury in dogs and can affect one or both knees. There are two bands of fibrous tissue called the cruciate ligaments in each knee joint.
Canine Hot Spots
Acute moist dermatitis (Hot Spots) is a common skin disorder in dogs, which can appear within hours and become larger, hairless, inflamed and bleeding lesions. The area becomes moist and painful and can begin spreading.
Cane Toad Poisoning
The cane toad was introduced into Australia in the 1930s for control of sugar cane pests. They failed as a biological control agent. Instead, they became a major environmental pest in the north east of Australia.
Cherry Eye
Cherry eye is a common term for prolapse of the third eyelid gland. Many mammals, including dogs, have an “extra” or third eyelid located inside the lower eyelid. This serves as an additional protective layer for the eye. The third eyelid contains a gland that produces a significant portion of the tear film. When this gland prolapses or “pops out”, the condition is known as “cherry eye”.
Dry Eye
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is commonly referred to as “dry eye”. The term means drying and inflammation of the cornea and surrounding tissues.
Itching and Scratching
Itching is a common clinical sign of many skin disorders. It is often accompanied by red, inflamed areas of skin and may lead to skin infection called Pyoderma.
Lost and Found Pets
The most reliable means of animal recovery is permanent identification by microchipping.
Obesity
Weight control is now a significant factor for both the human and animal population in urban areas. Many conditions such as osteoarthritis and pancreatitis have weight management as their prevention and treatment.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic, debilitating disease, which can affect one or more joints.
Rat Bait Poisoning
In Australia, most rat baits (rodenticides) are anticoagulants working by preventing production of clotting factors.
Snake Bites
Our experience is that most snake bites at Jacobs Well are from the Eastern Brown Snake.
Ticks
What is tick paralysis? What is the life cycle of the tick? How can my pet pick up ticks? How can ticks be prevented? What should I do if I find a tick on my pet? Here are answers to these questions and other important tick facts.
