25.01.2022 We have some great news . Thunder our patient who had been caught in the middle of a home invasion is now home and getting very spoilt. Thunder had been rushed into Baldivis Vet Hospital after receiving a knife wound to the shoulder. He needed an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding from a major vessel that was lacerated, and repair the knife wound. ... Due to severe nerve damage, blood loss and shock Thunder required 24/7 supportive care. There was significant risk of amputation being required, but due to the efforts of Baldivis Vet Hospitals dedicated Vets and Nurses and of course, Thunder himself we were able to rehabilitate his nerve damage and save Thunders leg. HUGE Thank you to everyone who supported Thunder. He is progressing well and is expected to make a full recovery.

25.01.2022 It's not everyday we get a visit from Baaaaaaaaaa-MBI. You may notice Bambi in one of our yards as you walk up the path to reception. Bambi is always hanging out with his best friend Diego the Dalmation. Veterinary Nurse Danielle reared Bambi since a lamb. Bambi had fallen off a truck and was rushed into Baldivis Vets and he has stayed here ever since. ... He recently had a hair cut at the "baa-baa shop" and simply looks fabulous. He is such a character and loves to try and eat all our doggy treats, he knows all the hidey spots for them on reception. Don't forget to say hello to Bambi next time you walk past his pen. He knows his name so well and will often come running up to the fence to say hello.

16.01.2022 HUGE Thank You to everyone who donated to help our wildlife affected by the devastating fires in NSW. We donated over $1800+ in monetary donations and over $5000 worth of products (bandages, creams, fluids, joey pouches, formula etc etc) including; a lovely package of goodies all the way from Greece. We received an email update from CEO Leanne Taylor - WIRES ... "Our sincere thanks to everyone at Baldivis Veterinary Hospital We hope you are staying safe and well during these challenging COVID-19 times. While this pandemic has impacted some of our operating procedures, WIRES continues to focus on bushfire recovery and using your donations to support projects that help our wildlife. The Black Summer fires have dominated our work for the last seven months and continue to do so. The needs of our native animals are huge, as we face significant numbers of species requiring urgent intervention and one of the highest mammal extinction rates of any country in the world. Your donation is going towards immediate and long-term solutions to these issues. Following is an update on some major projects we have been developing in partnership with Australias leading animal conservation and environmental groups and universities. Without the donations we have received from Australia and around the world these important initiatives would not be possible, and this is just the beginning of what we have planned. I thank you again for your generosity. As we implement ongoing recovery plans and increase rescue and care capacity for native animals in preparation for the coming spring and summer we will keep you updated". Yours sincerely, Leanne Taylor WIRES CEO

15.01.2022 August is Dental Awareness Month! Holly is a mischievous, 7 year old, American Staffy who went on a late night backyard adventure that lead to her upper left canine tooth being mysteriously torn from its socket, completely intact. This is no easy feat! As you can see from the image below of an extracted canine, the canine (fang) tooth of cats and dogs is a very large rooted tooth. ... In fact 70% of all healthy teeth including the root is actually situated below the gum line and is not visible or able to be thoroughly examined without the aid of dental x-rays. The canine tooth in particular has a very a strong attachment to the surrounding bone and can be extremely difficult to surgically extract, therefore it is alarming that Hollys tooth was so easily torn from its socket! Hollys mum sought urgent veterinary advice the following day from our dental vet Dr Rebecca. As Holly had been showing signs of dental disease including halitosis (bad breath) and gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) prior to the injury and her tooth had detached so easily in one piece, it was important to rule out any significant underlying causes. The recommendation from Dr Rebecca was that Holly should have a COHAT (Complete Oral Health Assessment and Treatment) including a set of full mouth x-rays, oral examination and scale and polish to address any pre-existing dental disease and to determine if the main cause was periodontal disease, major trauma or something more sinister. That same day, Holly underwent a general anaesthetic and dental COHAT. Hollys dental x-rays showed early signs of periodontal disease such as some minor tooth root resorption which may explain the loss of tooth. To be extra thorough Hollys mum also opted to send off a small biopsy of inflamed tissue and bone surrounding the site of the detached tooth to rule out malignant changes (these results came back clear). Due to the early signs of tooth root resorption and the unexpected loss of Hollys upper left canine tooth, her upper right canine tooth was extracted whilst under anaesthetic and the rest of the teeth and gums were thoroughly cleaned. Both the empty socket and the fresh extraction site were cleaned and sutured closed with dissolvable stitches to ensure that the sites did not become impacted with food or other fibres which could lead to significant infection. Holly went home with pain relief, antibiotics and a fresh new smile. Her gums have since healed well and her bad breath has resolved, her biggest issue now is how to get mum to stop kissing her We are still offering FREE Dental Nurse consults for the month of August and we have discounts off Royal Canin and Hills Pet Nutrition dental foods. Just give us a call on: 9524 1466.

14.01.2022 The overnight staff at this hospital were absolutely amazing. I had to bring my dog into emergency in the early hours of the morning today as he had a pretty bad seizure. Money was a bit tight as this was an unexpected emergency, but they only charged me for the blood tests and consultation - kept him for the morning, gave him medication and didnt charge me an arm and a leg. Were so lucky to have such a great emergency vet in the area thats open 24/7! Thank you! .... Robinson Family.

14.01.2022 Meet little COCO the French Bulldog who was so brave for her desexing procedure. Our receptionist Melissa gave her a big cuddle and kiss after she recovered in hospital. Heres a few reasons why you should sterilise (desex) your dogs and cats! Females: ... Reproductive prevention - reduces unwanted pregnancies. Prevents phantom pregnancies. Prevents pyometra (infection of the uterus). Reduce the risk of mammary (breast) cancer and ovarian cancer. Males: Prevents prostate enlargement & testicular cancer. Prevents males roaming to look for a female on heat. Reproductive prevention - reduces unwanted pregnancies.

13.01.2022 We had the cutest most adorable pet Mice cuddles today. Did you know? There are more than 30 known species of Mice. ... Mice are excellent climbers, jumpers and swimmers. They can jump a foot into the air. Making them the best little animal gymnasts. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a 5 cent coin. Despite being teeny tiny, mice eat between 20 and 40 times per day. Mice as Pets! Mice are gentle in nature and love exploring. Theyre easily occupied, even a simple toilet roll that they can weave in and out of provides hours of entertainment for them. They do not take up much room, however, are renowned for being great escape artists. You should always they have a secure enclosure for them. Mice love a variety of foods which includes: ad lib fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, pears, banana, melons, stone fruits, citrus fruits, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, endive, carrots, bok choy/other Asian greens, celery, parsley, berries, tomato, fresh corn, beans, peas) and small amounts of good quality mouse/rat pellets or cubes.

12.01.2022 Look its a PUPPY BURRITO keeping nice and warm on this wintery day! Zeus the little 6 week old Staffy had his first ever vaccinations and was the goodest, bravest boy.

12.01.2022 Meet LOKI the 4 year old Staffy. Unfortunately, Loki had ruptured his right hind & left hind cruciate ligament & and was referred to Dr Stephen in Baldivis Vet Advanced Surgery Centre all the way from the tropical paradise of Broome. Loki came in for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Surgery and had to have this procedure performed on both legs (3 months apart). ... Injury to the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is the most common cause of hind limb lameness in dogs. It can be due to either a partial or complete rupture of the ligament. Rupture of the ligament may result in damage to other structures in the knee such as the meniscus (cushions). The rupture causes marked instability in the knee and accelerates the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Left untreated it may result in permanent severe pain and lameness. Various surgical methods exist to stabilize the knee following cruciate ligament rupture. The decision as to which procedure is best suited for your pet will depend on various factors including the size of your dog, age, joint biomechanics and expected athletic outcome. It is quite common for both knees to be affected, or to have the other knee rupture a cruciate ligament shortly after the first knee. TPLO is considered one of the best surgeries available for cruciate disease. TPLO surgery involves cutting the shin bone (tibia) and rotating the weight bearing surface of the knee and then applying a surgical steel plate to fix it in this position. This allows us to alter the angles in the knee joint in such a way so as to reduce the adverse effects of the ruptured ligament. Once the bone has healed the implants become redundant, and all of the stresses are carried through normal bone, tendons and muscle. Therefore once healed, the implants are not prone to future fatigue and breakage as can occur with some other cruciate ligament repair techniques. Loki has been such a trooper during both procedures and is recovering well. We captured this photo of him during his stay with us. He was the goodest boy!

Hes white with blobs of black. Which look like little boots and socks. Ive named him Jack. When I take him out to play He jumps and romps about, He chases cars nd motor bikes. Hes naughty, theres no doubt. (Sunday Times 17 February - 1935) MY DOG I have a little dog at home Whos very fond of me. Whenever I go round the house He always follows me. He follows me about the street, And other dogs do, too, And then I have to chase him home. I love him, so would you. ( Kalgoorlie Miner 28 March - 1939) MY DOG. I have a little dog called Boss, His hair is white and curly; When not allowed to follow me, He looks so cross and surly.

04.01.2022 We had some cuties here today. Our scrub pockets can also be used as little kitten pouches . Our nurses were able to cuddle and feed 2 week old bundles of joy today. Unfortunately, these babies were separated from their mother so need regular feeding and toileting every 2 hours from our Veterinary Nurses. ... If you see a stray cat and kittens try and safely catch them all together, never separate kittens from mothers. Being with mum gives them a better chance at survival when being so young. Mothers milk has natural antibodies that boost immunity and fight disease. Sterilisation of cats is so important to prevent and reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, helps prevents certain behavioural problems, such as roaming, fights and intense scent-marking. *** (Kittens not available for adoption) ***

03.01.2022 Baby Birds! What to do next... We have had quite a few calls lately regarding what to do if you find a baby bird! We know how hard it can be too leave a baby bird on it's own but sometimes taking it away from a mother or father that are keeping a close eye on it can do more harm then it needs to be, resulting in some birds not being able to return to their natural habitat and growing up in captivity. Our wonderful friends at River Wren Rescue have provided some information on what to do if you find a baby bird away from it's nest.

02.01.2022 Today is Vet Nurse Day! We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without all our amazing & dedicated Veterinary Nurses.

02.01.2022 We had the cutest little visitor helping on Reception who came in for a wing clip. He wasnt too keen on answering the phone and he liked to wolf whistle at clients as soon as they walked in, cheeky cheeky.

02.01.2022 Meet ANASTASIA also known as ANA the 6 month old Siberian Husky. Ana was so, so brave for her sterilisation procedure and got lots of cuddles from our Nurses. Especially, Veterinary Nurse Jake who couldnt resist a cuddle before starting his emergency team shift. ... Did you know? Siberian Huskies are most probably best-known for their incredible sled-pulling skills, but these doggies arent all business! They make excellent working dogs & were originally bred to help the Chukchi people of Siberia hunt more efficiently. They also have an incredibly adorable side too, theyre seriously sweet, friendly, and loyal cuddle bugs! Theyre in the top ten most ancient dog breed in the world. With their wolf-like appearance, it;s not uncomon for them to have Heterochromia (bi-coloured eyes). There curious personality makes them very efficient escape artists. Huskies can run for hours upon hours, without food, and without using their bodies glycogen (carbohydrates) or fat stores. How do they burn so many calories without using their reserves? They regulate their metabolisms for performance. Two of the most famous sled dogs were "Togo" and "Bolto" who were part Siberian Husky and known for their bravery transporting medical supplies for "The Nome Syrup Run" (era 1925) saving heaps of lives.
