25.01.2022 Why do dogs have shorter lives then humans? Here’s the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. ... I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. The next day, the vet felt the familiar catch in his throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane; the 6 year old child seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that the vet wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. They all sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that dogs’ lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up,I know why. Startled, they all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned the vet. He had never heard a more comforting explanation. He says that it changed the way he will try and live. People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do. #dogsofinstagram #dogs #learnfromdogs #dogsofclayfieldvet #doggos #dogsofclayfield #dogsarefamily #family #loveyourpet

25.01.2022 WARNING: MAGPIE SWOOPING SEASON IS UPON US . There is evidence that, remarkably, free-living magpies can forge lasting relationships with people, even without depending on us for food or shelter. . A key reason why friendships with magpies are possible is that we now know that magpies are able to recognise and remember individual human faces for many years. They can learn which nearby humans do not constitute a risk. They willremembersomeone who was good to them; equally,... they remember negative encounters. This bond can extend to trusting certain people around their offspring. . The Magpies staring in this video are the 7th generation of Magpies visiting this property. Each breeding season they bring their fledglings to the back door to introduce the new family members to the people who live at the property. These friendships have stemmed from one original friendship that was made with a malnourished magpie 6 years ago! . If you where wanting help with feeding your neighbourhood magpies, please contact the clinic as they require supplements to their diet in order for them to live a long healthy life. . . #wildlifewednesdays #wildlife #australianwildlife #magpie #magpiefriends #friendsnotfoe #magpiesofclayfieldvet #magpiesofclayfield #clayfieldwildlife #magpiefriends #swoopingseason #magpieswoop #swoopingmagpie #feedamagpie #makingfriends #friendlyaustralianwildlife #woombaroo #calciumsupplements See more

24.01.2022 Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: . When your loved ones come home, always run to greet them. . Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. . Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.... .Take naps. . Stretch before rising. . Run, romp, and play daily. . Thrive on attention and let people touch you. . Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. . On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. . On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. . When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body. . Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. . Be faithful. . Never pretend to be something you’re not. . If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. . When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. That’s the secret of happiness that we can learn from a good dog.

23.01.2022 What time is it? TIME FOR ANOTHER GUESS THE BREED! This one is a little harder as she is just a puppy still Here are the clues: This breed of dog is a fairly newly recognised breed that is also referred to as Berger Blanc Suisse. They generally have pointy ears and the typical Shepherd face but with a slightly smaller body structure. However, they have quite a different temperament. ... This breed is intuitive to their owners’ feelings and emotions and make a great companion dog, if you can handle their size. This breed’s coat is easy to handle, and brushing once or twice a week is sufficient. But be warned to expect lots of shedding twice a year, and you will not be able to wear black clothes without looking silly. Answer will be posted in the comments tomorrow #guessthebreed #dogs #dogsofclayfieldvet #doggos #whatbreed #dogsofinstagram #gamesofinsta #whatbreedisshe? #dog #dogbreeds #BergerBlancSuisse

22.01.2022 Ever wonder what the vets are looking at when they are looking under the microscope? These little critters are ear mites and have been been magnified x10. Joanne managed to diagnose them by swabbing the inside of the ear with a cotton tip and smearing the ear discharge onto a slide to view it under the microscope.... Lucky for this puppy, Bravecto is licensed to kill ear mites and one dose should keep these critters at bay for 3 months. #earmites #creepycrawly #critters #bravecto #notjustfleaandtick #cytology @bravectoau

17.01.2022 Little Basil presented to us on Friday morning for vomiting and inappetance. He received an anti-nausea injection and went home to be monitored. Even with the medication on board he continued to vomit which is very unusual. Due to it being a Friday, we got Basil back to the clinic to do some further work up before we shut for the weekend and boy are we glad we did! We didn't see anything on x-rays initially but the vets where sure they felt a mass in his abdomen. He receive...d "BIPS" which are small contrast media pellets that show up on xray easily. This allows us to see if they are able to be passed, this is done by taking an xray every couple of hours to see if they have began to move through the stomach and into the intestines. It was clear after the BIPS not moving, Basil had a forgin body. At 3pm on Friday afternoon, Dr Joy scrubbed up and began a Exploratory laparotomy and pulled out not one but THREE palm seeds that where unable to be passed through the intestines. We are very pleased to say at Basil's 2nd post op check today he has recovered well and is back to his happy crazy self #basil #minischnauzer #schnauzer #schnauzersofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogsofclayfieldvet #doggos #doggoseatingthings #naughtydog #palmseeds #forignbody #Exploratorylaparotomy

17.01.2022 WarningOnly scroll to the next photo if you have a strong stomach Meet Eddie! Eddie loves to eat. Eddie does not discriminate against food. He does not even mind if it isnt technically classified as food...... Eddies parents brought him in as they suspected he may have eaten a sock. We induced emesis and he produced 4 socks, a hair tie and possibly some stockings (by the looks of it)! Eddies dad knows it was important to try and get the socks out, because they can potentially cause an obstruction in the intestines and require surgery to remove! .......... #dogsofinstagram #emesis #vomit #hungrydog #sockeatingdog #doggos #naughtydog #puppy #puppiesofinstagram #dogsofclayfieldvet #vet #FB #foreignbody #avoidingsurgery

16.01.2022 FUN CASE FRIDAYS . Pippa's mum made an appointment straight away when she noticed Pippa's laboured breathing and she was acting abnormal. . When Pippa arrived, she was very distressed and guarding her mouth. After a light sedation we were able to examine her mouth and noticed a small green segment hidden amongst the inflammation in her mouth. Dr Kate was able to remove the foreign body using a set of tweezers. It turned out to be a 15cm long grass seed!... . After an anti-inflammatory injection, little Pippa left feeling a lot more comfortable then when she came in! . #funcasefridays #funcase #funfind #eyespywherethegrassseedis #grassseed #forignbody #dogsofinstagram #dogsofclayfieldvet #dogsofclayfield #pippathepup #vetsofclayfieldvet #sorepuppy #cuddle #cuddles #cuddlesarethebestmedicine See more

16.01.2022 On the theme of bad puns.... Here is a bad joke .............................................................. A woman brought a very limp into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the birds chest.... After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "Im sorry, your , has passed away." "How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you havent done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "Im sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead ." The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The s owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my is dead!" The vet shrugged, "Im sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, its now $150." .......... #catscan #catdocter #vet # #catsofinstagram #catsofclayfieldvet #badpuns #badvetpuns #badvetjokes #vetjokes #vetpuns #catsofclayfield #lovehowcomfortablehefelt #clayfieldvetclinic

13.01.2022 Meet Little Leo! Leo was not only a fantastic cuddler but also an interesting little case! Leo was born with an Inguinal Hernia. This condition is when soft tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. The soft tissue is often part of the intestine. The intestines actually dropped into his scrotum and if he was still you could see the normal rhythmic movement of the intestines moving through the skin of the scrotum. He has recovered fantastically from his p...rocedure and is now back to giving cuddles #weloveyouleo #littlelion #cuddlemonster #cuddledealer #sausagedog #hotdog #dachshund #minidachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #doggo #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #inguinalhernia #herniarepair #herniasofinstagram #surgery #clayfieldvet

09.01.2022 Meet Clayfield Vet's very own Super Star: Dennis! Dennis has had a rough couple of days, however he has made it through and even been featured in the Courier Mail On Wednesday afternoon, Dennis had an altercation with a brown snake in his yard. Unfortunately for Dennis, it is very rare for a dog to come away from an altercation with a brown snake without a bite. ... Brown Snake venom is deadly to our pets without veterinary treatment. Within an hour he started showing symptoms of blood in his urine and sudden weakness followed by collapse. We are glad to say Dennis is a fighter and after care at the wonderful QVS North Lakes facility, Dennis's family are very relieved and happy to have their little trouble maker home Moral of the story: Don't play with snakes! If you find a snake in your home or yard please seek the guidance and advice from a professional snake catcher like Rob Watson.

07.01.2022 Rasci took Halloween a little too seriously this year when her mum said she should dress up! Rasci's mum became slightly concerned when she noticed a small amount of swelling around her eye. It was hard to assess the severity of the swelling due to her gorgeous fur. After assessment she was referred for further testing at the specialist. It was suspected that Rasci had a tumour growing inside her eye. We always take eyes seriously as things can go wrong very fast and ve...ry dramatically. Unfortunately for Rasci, her eye didn't want to wait till the booked procedure at the specialist and unfortunately for Rasci, we had to perform an emergency enucleation of the eye (removal of the eye) the day before her surgery was booked at the specialists! Lucky Rasci was in great hands with Dr Joy who managed to remove the effected eye with minimal trauma. The histopatholagy has come back as a melanoma and she has gotten clean margins.

05.01.2022 Did you know you can bring injured wildlife to the vets? . This little turtle dove was brought in to us as she was unable to fly. It appeared that another animal attacked her and pulled out a large amount of her primary and secondary feathers that she uses to fly with. . Dr Joy examined her and we preformed an x-ray on her wing to ensure she did not have any fractures. After a clean bill of health, she has been sent on her way to a wildlife carer where she will be able to gro...w back her feathers without fear of predators; then released back into the wild! #wildlifewedneadays #wildlife #wildlifevets #wildlifexrays #birdsofinsta #birdsofclayfieldvet #birdsofclayfield #wildlifeofclayfieldvet #australianwildlife #bringinjuredwildlifetoyourlocalvet #injuredwildlife #wildlifecarer See more

05.01.2022 These too cuties, Eddy and Patsy, where ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS patients for their desexing surgeries! We where confused at first as Eddy is female and Patsy is a male. They where named after the characters of the hit TV show Absolutely Fabulous. Fun fact from Ab Fab: We only recently learned from the parents of these two that on various occasions throughout the series, it is alluded to that Patsy was once transgender, having undergone a sex-change operation in Morocco in the 19...60s. That is why they named their little male puppy Patsy! #absolutelyfabulous #abfab #patsystone #patsy #edinamonsoon #eddy #eddymonsoon #patsyandeddy #patsy&eddy #puppies #puppiesofclayfieldvet #dogsofclayfieldvet #dogsofclayfield #puppiesofclayfieldvet #abfabfacts #absolutelyfabulousfacts #dogsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram @ Clayfield Veterinary Clinic Please note: Megan is not part of the Absolutely Fabulous TV show; however she is still absolutely fabulous!

05.01.2022 Meet Jax! He is a very brave boy who had a very uncommon surgery! (For us anyway). Jax was prone to Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). It is not a specific disease, but rather a term used to describe the condition that can affect the bladder or urethra in cats. This means they are unable to urinate, which can be lethal to cats. Jax had developed stones in his bladder that blocked his urethra and he was unable to urinate, requiring general anaesthesia to remove these stone...s. Unfortunately, he then developed FLUTD numerous times over the past two years. Jaxs owners made the hard, yet important, decision to go ahead with the emergency surgery known as Perineal Urethrostomy. This consists of removing the penis and you exposing a wide section of urethra so they do not obstruct. We are currently 20 days after his surgery and he is doing incredibly well and using his litter tray like normal #stillaman #perinealurethristomy #flutd #stressedcat #catsofinstagram #catsofclayfield #catsofclayfieldvet #drlawrence #drlawrenceofclayfieldvet #surgery #intrestingsurgeries #lifesavingsurgeries #vetlife #cats #bellyrubs #catswholikebellyrubs #bustercollar #jaxthecat #jax #supersmooch

04.01.2022 Last week we had the pleasure of performing a surgery on our tiniest patient to date this year! . Little Willow had a suspected Mammary tumour removed that took up 2 thirds of the left side of her chest! She recovered so quickly that she was up and about and nibbling on food within 20 minutes of waking up! . She came in today for her post op check, her wound looks fantastic and her mum reports she is back to her old cheeky self ... . .............. #fancyrat #fancyratsofinstagram #fancyratsofclayfield #fancyratsofclayfieldvet #patientsofclayfieldvet #tinypatient #willow #mammarytumour #rat #petrats #cheekyrat #shelovestoeat #clayfieldvet See more

04.01.2022 R U OK? 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us to all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. Veterinarians are four times more likely to die by suicide when compared to the general population - we lose a vet to suicide about every 12 weeks. Some of the contributing factors include the strain of the long hours and the riding of an emotional rollercoaster - p...otentially dealing with the delivery of a litter of puppies one minute and in the next having to carry a family through the ultimate decision and farewell of a beloved pet. We as veterinary professionals understand the stress mental health plays in our day to day lives. That is why we would love everyone to support R U Ok day. You dont need to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says they are not ok. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help before they are in a crisis. www. ruok.org.au #ruok #askruok #september10th #10/09 #askruok1009 #askruok2020 #askruokseptember10 #suicideawarness #vetsuicideawarness #cliniccatsofinstagram #cliniccatofclayfield #cliniccat #clayfieldvet #clayfield #clayfieldsuicideawarness #suicideawarness #suicide #suicidehelp #mentalhelathhelp #helpline #ruokvet #areyouok # #ruok.org.au #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawarness #catsofinstagram See more

04.01.2022 FUN CASE FRIDAYS . Pippas mum made an appointment straight away when she noticed Pippas laboured breathing and she was acting abnormal. . When Pippa arrived, she was very distressed and guarding her mouth. After a light sedation we were able to examine her mouth and noticed a small green segment hidden amongst the inflammation in her mouth. Dr Kate was able to remove the foreign body using a set of tweezers. It turned out to be a 15cm long grass seed!... . After an anti-inflammatory injection, little Pippa left feeling a lot more comfortable then when she came in! . #funcasefridays #funcase #funfind #eyespywherethegrassseedis #grassseed #forignbody #dogsofinstagram #dogsofclayfieldvet #dogsofclayfield #pippathepup #vetsofclayfieldvet #sorepuppy #cuddle #cuddles #cuddlesarethebestmedicine See more
