We had to take out cat Venus in because her mouth was very sore and she couldnt be touched and was refusing to eat and the staff were very friendly and Dr Ash done the required tests and our cat had to have a full teeth extraction.

Dr Ash and the team have been nothing short of amazing with our beloved pets. Dr Ash carried out surgery on our 7year old Rottweiler and the love and care she received was amazing. We also recently had our new kitten desexed and microchipped and again the service was fantastic.

A second chance at life

A big thank you to Dr. Ash and the team for helping me give this little guy a second chance at life. As someone who didn’t grow up around pets, I had no idea what to do when this little one showed up on my back porch in such a poor state. I highly recommend Family Vets Western Sydney to any pet owners looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring team!

Demodex

Demodex mites are actually a normal inhabitant of your dog’s skin. These mites live in the hair follicles of dogs and are passed from the mother to her pups during nursing. The dog’s immune system normally controls the number of mites, so that they cause no harm. Dogs can develop signs of disease if their immune system is unable to control the mite population. This most commonly occurs in young or malnourished dogs, or those with other diseases that compromise their immune system. Signs of disease due to Demodex mites include hair loss, thickening of the skin, and skin infections. Cats have their own species of Demodex, however signs of disease are much less common in cats compared to dogs.

Sarcoptes

Sarcoptes mites not only affect dogs, but can also be transmitted to humans. The mites easily pass from an infested dog to other dogs that are in close contact. Sarcoptes mites burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching, hair loss, and skin infections. Confirming a diagnosis of Sarcoptes mites can be difficult as the mites live within the skin. Your vet may need to examine a skin scraping under the microscope to identify the mites.

Ear mites

As their name suggests, ear mites inhabit the ear canals and surrounding skin. Ear mite infestations can occur in dogs and cats, but infestation is more common in cats. Signs of infestation typically include skin irritation; scratching around the ears, head and neck; head shaking; the presence of an ear discharge that is dark and waxy (resembling coffee grounds) and an unpleasant odour from the ears. Your vet can diagnose ear mites by looking at a sample from the ear canal under the microscope.
