25.01.2022 What has Animal Emergency Service's and Bondi Vet Dr Gerardo found in this pup's ear? Could it be a spider?!

25.01.2022 It's #NationalCheckTheChipDay! Is your furry friends contact details up-to-date? For more information about microchips and how to update your details, visit > https://hubs.ly/H0tr1py0

25.01.2022 September is #AnimalPainAwarenessMonth. Do you know what signs to look for? Our pets may not be able to tell us with words but here is a handy checklist of physical symptoms that can alert us so you can turn into

24.01.2022 Meet the adventurous Duke. Duke was bought into our Tanawha hospital by a lovely family who thought he might be lost. We scanned Duke for his microchip and luckily we were able to contact his owners as their details were up to date. His worried family were excited to hear from us as he had been missing for eight weeks. It turned out Duke went on an adventure, traveling quite a distance through the bush and couldnt find his way home! Duke was super happy to go home with his h...oomans, plus he had a new furry puppy brother to meet. Is your pets microchip details up to date? Also, next time you visit the vet its a good idea to ask them to scan the microchip to ensure its working correctly.

23.01.2022 One year ago today we celebrated Henrys recovery and reunion her with her hoomans. Henry, a 4-year-old kelpie cross, survived a house fire which left her battling severe smoke inhalation. After almost a week in intensive care, Henry beat all odds and returned home to her family. Today, were looking back on her journey to recovery.

23.01.2022 Smiles after a successful endoscopic procedure! Freya, a 2-year-old Portuguese Water Dog, visited us not feeling very well with her hoomans suspecting she may have ingested a stuffed toy. Upon examination, we found Freya had in fact eaten something she shouldnt have. An endoscopic retrieval (this is when a long, flexible tube with a lighted camera and a grasping tool at its tip is inserted down the oesophagus/stomach) was performed to remove the item which turned out to be a large black sock!

22.01.2022 Is there anything better than kitten cuddles!

22.01.2022 About the size of a grain of rice, a microchip is your pets best chance of being returned safely home if they do go missing. However, sadly, 40% of microchips have inaccurate data or arent registered. Remember, should you ever move house or even change your phone number to also update your furry friends microchip details.

22.01.2022 It's #NationalPetPoisonPreventionMonth! In our hospitals, the most common type of poisoning we see are human foods (chocolate, grapes, onions), household items (rodenticides, cleaning supplies), plants, and prescription and over-the-counter medications. Our homes can hold a number of items potentially toxic to our furry friends, and with it being National Pet Poison Prevention Month it’s a good reminder to inspect your home. Here are some tips for keeping your pet safe:... Inspect: regular inspections are the best way to ensure your home is safe for your pet Secure: make sure potentially toxic items are out of your pet’s reach Learn: be aware of which food, plants and household items are harmful to pets Read: before administering any medication to your pet, make sure you read and understand the directions, and follow any doctor’s orders exactly Know: know the common symptoms of poisoning (vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, lethargy and convulsions) Prepare: keep emergency resources on hand and have the number of your closest animal emergency hospital close by See more

21.01.2022 It's World Emoji Day! We meet many personalities in our hospital Tell us, which emoji are you today?

19.01.2022 Meet beautiful Ollie, a 12-week-old Boxer. Ollie was enjoying an afternoon of fun, playing with his neighbours kids and being fed treats when he started to choke on one of the treats. Ollies hoomans quickly tried to dislodge the treat, however, Ollie continued to choke. Jumping in the car to go to our Tanawha hospital, Ollies breathing became laboured and his hoomans had to start performing CPR. When Ollie arrived at our hospital he was in severe respiratory distress and r...equired immediate intubation. Upon examination, Ollie had developed an obstructive pulmonary oedema a complication with chocking where Ollies lungs had filled with fluid. Obstructive pulmonary oedema is an acute medical emergency which requires intensive care but can be resolved. Ollie needed to be placed on mechanical ventilation to keep his lungs open. After just under 24 hours Ollie had improved immensely and was able to be gradually weaned from the ventilator and onto nasal oxygen support. Ollie continued to improve in leaps and bounds, and after 36 hours with us, he had improved enough to go home to his very relieved hoomans.

Even in winter exercise is important for our pets, and there are still fun indoor activities you can do to keep your pet healthy and active when its too cold to go outside: Buy new toys, or even rotating their current toys Play fetch down the hallway (try rolling the ball to avoid knocking anything over), even our cats like to chase If you have stairs tr...y throwing the ball to the top of the staircase to give your pup extra exercise Try interactive toys Using healthy treats, create a treasure hunt around the house (use different levels for cats to get them jumping) Keep reading to learn more about the dangers of pet obesity and why a healthy diet and lifestyle is important > https://hubs.ly/H0s03jy0

16.01.2022 Meet Hayley, a 2-year-old English Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who came to us after being bitten by a brown snake. When Hayley arrived, she was already showing signs of being affected by the snakes venom her pupils were dilated, she was experiencing facial twitching, and her respiratory muscles were being affected by paralysis making it difficult for her to breathe. There was also a concern as Hayley had previously been diagnosed with coagulopathy (when the bloods clot-forming ability is impaired) since snake venom can cause bleeding disorders. Our Pet ICU team administered two vials of anti-venom, pain relief, and monitored Hayleys breathing and blood clotting. After five days, with intensive care from the team, Hayleys paralysis resolved and with physio she gained the strength to stand and was able to go home to her family.

10.01.2022 Meet Jethro a 4-month-old Tonkinese who survived a snake attack! While outside exploring with supervision from his hoomans, Jethro was grabbed on the head by a 2-metre carpet python which then started to constrict around Jethros little body! Jethros fast-acting and fast-thinking hoomans managed to pry the python off Jethro and rushed him a near-by local vet for initial treatment before being transferred to our Carrara hospital for further care. Jethro was one lucky kitten ...whose only injuries were a humeral fracture (a fracture to his upper arm bone in his front leg) and some bite marks on his head. Usually, in cases where a snake has constricted, injuries include fractures to the ribs as well as bruising and damage to the lungs. Along with close monitoring from our team and fluid therapy to aid in hydration and blood delivery, Jethros fur around the puncture marks was clipped and the wounds cleaned to prevent infection. Jethro also underwent surgery to mend the fracture in his leg from the team at Veterinary Specialist Services. See more
