You are so deserving of this scholarship and we are all very proud of you.

23.01.2022 Thank you!! On behalf of the team at Colonel Light Vet Clinic, we would like to pass on a big THANK YOU to all of our clients in the past few weeks! We understand the changes put in place due to COVID-19 make for a very different visit to the vet. However, we are grateful for everyones kindness, understanding and patience during these unprecedented times....

19.01.2022 This happy fellow was found in a lady's kitchen this morning near Fishbytes on Springbank Road.. She brought him to us. He is wearing a lime green Rogz collar and is very friendly indeed. If he is known to anyone you can call the Clinic up until 7:30 pm, but in the meantime he is safe. And full. And welcome to a sleepover if no one calls.

12.01.2022 Congratulations to Louise's recent puppy school graduates: Daisy, Delilah, Lilli, Nashi, Shadow and Taco. Well done everyone!

11.01.2022 Well done to Louise's September Puppy School class, who all passed with flying colours - Isla and Jester were the perfect puppies and won the Sit and Drop competition, Gus and Frodo were the life of the party, they had so much fun playing with everyone. Little Joey was a little shy at first but he soon came out of his shell and enjoyed playing with some of the other puppies. Congratulations to you all

11.01.2022 From all the Vets and Nurses at the Colonel Light Veterinary Clinic, we wish all of our clients and their pets a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

09.01.2022 During the next few months as COVID-19 potentially continues to impact on our daily lives, there will be various requests from businesses to help limit the spread. Colonel Light Vet Clinic is still open for business, ready to see yourself and your beloved pets. However, we are asking for our clients to consider the following: If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms, please stay home and have someone else bring in your pet.... If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and no one else can bring your pet into the clinic, please tell the nurse on the phone so we can make adequate arrangements. Please limit the amount of people coming in to the clinic with your pet. Our house call service will be temporarily suspended. These requests are to keep our clinic safe, not only our employees, but also for the wider community (especially the elderly and the immunocompromised). We also would like to clarify recent reports that dogs can transmit COVID-19 to humans. This is has not been proven by any scientific studies. There is also no evidence of COVID-19 transmission in cats or any other domesticated animal. If you have any questions regarding these requests, please do not hesitate to call us on (08) 8276 7711. Thank you for your understanding, it is greatly appreciated.

08.01.2022 Please take care of all your fur babies this coming week, it is going to be a hot one!

06.01.2022 My gorgeous puppy, LOLLIPOP, 12 weeks old today. Full of mischief, cuddles, needle teeth(!!!!), kisses, and just everything gorgeous.

05.01.2022 Happy Easter to all from the Colonel Light Veterinary Clinic

05.01.2022 To all of our lovely CLVC families, We are just wanting to update you all on our COVID-19 preparedness. Please be patient with us during this unprecedented time - appointments may run late from time to time but this is due to the extra precautions we are putting in place. Please respect our wishes and instructions during this difficult time. Through the following measures we are doing our part in protecting our workplace, employees and the wider community.... Although we always cleaned the clinic thoroughly throughout the day, we have increased the frequency and cleaning high of contact surfaces/objects (e.g. door handles, reception counter). The following are new measures we are starting to implement this week, please read through them carefully. Limit of 1 person per consult. Please limit bringing children into the clinic. Please respect our wishes for social distancing. Use the hand sanitiser provided. Puppy school is cancelled indefinitely. The waiting room has limited space, you may be asked to wait in your car. Contactless payment is preferred. Limit contact with frequently touched surfaces. We would also like to reiterate the previously discussed points. Please do not come into the clinic if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms. Please get someone else to bring your pet in. If youre experience flu-like symptoms and someone else cannot bring your pet in, please call the clinic to discuss with a nurse. Our home visit service is suspended. Please read through these points prior to your visit to Colonel Light Vet Clinic. We hope you are all being safe during this difficult time. Please call us with any concerns on (08) 8276 7711.

05.01.2022 In light of the recent news cycle and the challenging times we are all facing at the moment we wanted to bring everyone a bit of a good news story for your Friday afternoon. This beautiful little girl is Lila (named after Lila Bard from Victoria "V.E." Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic series). She was found and brought in to our clinic by a kind member of the public this week. When she arrived she was assessed by our vets and it was immediately apparent that her right eye w...as blind and extremely painful as a result of a ruptured cornea. This can happen for a number of reasons including a perforating corneal ulcer or a traumatic injury. Unfortunately once an eye has ruptured the best treatment is to remove it as soon as possible. This can be a risky procedure, even in a healthy adult cat. In such a small kitten both the procedure and the anaesthetic carry even higher risks. Fortunately Lila is an absolute fighter and she made it through the procedure with flying colours. Within a few hours of her big surgery she was up and bouncing around and keen for her dinner and plenty of snuggles with all of her amazing nurses. She is such a character and everyone at our clinic has absolutely fallen in love with her. At this stage Lila is recovering from her eventful start to life and being cared for by everyone at the clinic. However, she is in search of a forever home and will be available for adoption shortly. She is such a lovely, smoochy little girl who loves attention and is always keen for a snuggle. She will make a great indoor cat for someone looking for an affectionate companion. If you are interested in potentially adopting Lila feel free to contact the clinic on 8276 7711. To all our valued clients and their beloved fur-babies during this challenging period, we hope you are all safe. Wash your hands. Observe social distancing requirements. And remember that we are still open at present and here to help if your pet needs us.

05.01.2022 The Australian Animal Poison Centre has opened a new phone service - 1300 TOX PET - add their number to your phone in case of an emergency relating to any toxin or poison and your pet. Their Facebook page, Animal Poisons Centre, also has very informative posts about everyday household chemicals, foods, plants, etc. that can be toxic and suggestions on how to keep your pets safe. Check out their website from the link below.

03.01.2022 From all of us at the Colonel Light Veterinary Clinic we hope you have a lovely Easter with your families and fur babies. Here are a few tips to help keep them extra safe https://goo.gl/d37hc4
