25.01.2022 Meet Wednesday! Little Wednesday is a Western Grey Kangeroo joey, who unfortunately suffered a oesophageal obstruction when trying to eat muesli for the first time. Her carer rushed her to the clinic and after some emergency treatment, she thankfully made a full recovery! Our weekend vet student Keri was a great help and enjoyed some post-anaesthetic cuddles. If your pet experiences an after hours emergency, then we are available 24/7, 365 days a year to help.

15.01.2022 MEET THE TEAM'S TEAM! Everyone in the Heartland's family has their own support crew at home and we would like to introduce you to one more of them! INTRODUCING MAVIS! Mavis is a stunning 3 year old Warmblood mare, who has immigrated from over east to become the newest member of our fantastic vet nurse Steph's family. Steph reports that Mavis is the most loving, sweet and sometimes dorky girl, who loves nothing more then human affection and getting a good quality butt s...cratch! Steph started Mavis under saddle herself and has big plans for Mavis's future dressage career, but for now Mavis is taking it easy while she grows into that big beautiful body of hers! While Mavis is a total sweetheart, her absolute love for water has caused some issues with her water troughs, as she regularly would paw at the water inside and would try climb inside them! So now all of her water has to be elevated on tires! We can't wait to see all the adventures that Steph and Mavis will get up to in the future! Does anyone else have a new equine project or prodigy in the making?

12.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all our clients and patients from the entire Heartlands Vet Family! We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday period! If you need us over the festive season our after hours service will be active throughout the holiday period for all emergencies.

12.01.2022 CHOCOLATE TOXICITY With easter around the corner, this is a timely reminder that most types of chocolate are toxic to pets, and if large enough quantities are ingested it can be fatal. Extra care should be taken with any up and coming easter egg hunts to make certain your pets do not have any access to the chocolates before or after collection.... Pictured below is Dr Esther's dog Pirri, demonstrating what happens when you eat almost an entire tray of Brownies!!! Lucky for Pirri her mum was able to treat her straight away and she went on to make a full recovery. Chocolate toxicity is a time critical condition, so please call a veterinarian, as soon as you can, if you think your pet may have eaten any chocolate.

06.01.2022 A kind member of the public drove over 1 hour to bring this oblong turtle to us, after spotting her on the side of the road and realising she had significant injuries (suspected motor vehicle accident). First aid was administered and x-rays were taken which not only showed her injuries were rehabilitatable, but also that she was packed full of eggs! Most likely this mother turtle was crossing the road to find a safe place to lay her clutch of eggs. Please take care on the r...oad and watch out for our wildlife as this is very busy time of year for them, especially for our turtles and young birds! If you come across sick or injured wildlife then you can call any of our clinics for advice or call the WA Wildlife Hotline on 9474 9055.

06.01.2022 THIS CUTIE NEEDS A HOME! This little cat was brought to us by one of our caring clients and finds herself needing a home! She is a sweet, gentle soul and would do well in a quieter home where she can have lots of time to settle in and bond with her new family! Sex: Female... Age: < 1 year old Breed: Domestic Shorthair Adoption fee: $180, includes adoption, desexing, flea treatment, worming and vaccination! See more

05.01.2022 Dr Esther said it was an absolute honour to help handsome Maverick get a nasty grass seed out of his ear this week! We would also like to thank Maverick's mum for packing his coat which kept him very snug all day while in hospital- and had the extra benefit of being outrageously cute! If your pet has been shaking or scratching at their ears lately we would love to see them so we can check their ears for nasty grass seeds too!

01.01.2022 With the current rise in parvovirus cases seen in the Wheatbelt region, we have noticed several misconceptions and myths have arisen too. These are the 4 most common misconceptions about parvovirus we have encountered: (1) Myth: my dog doesn't leave the property/see other dogs, therefore they are safe. Truth: In the right conditions parvovirus persists in the environment for long periods of time and can easily be transferred to your property on wheels, clothing, shoes, on gu...ests and on you! (2) Myth: Only puppies are vulnerable to parvovirus, therefore my adult dog is safe. Truth: Any dog of any age can be affected by parvovirus. Young, old and immuno-suppressed dogs usually suffer the most severe disease, but any dog can become unwell and infection has the potential to be fatal in all cases. (3) Myth: My adult dog had their puppy vaccines, therefore are protected as an adult. Truth: To achieve the greatest level of protection puppies need to be be vaccinated every 4 weeks, starting from 6 weeks of age, until they are 16 weeks or older. After their last puppy vaccination they will need to have booster vaccinations every 12-36 months (depending on age and type of vaccine used) to maintain adequate protection. Without these booster vaccines adult dogs may not have adequate antibody protection against parvovirus. NB: Blood tests are available to assess antibody levels for owners who want to try reduce number of vaccinations required for adult dogs. (4) Myth: there is a new strain of parvovirus that vaccines can not protect against. Truth: When kept up to date, vaccines are proven to be the most effective protection against parvovirus. If you are unsure about the protection status of your puppy or dog then please do not hesitate to contact one of our clinics to discuss their vaccination status and ways to protect them against infection.
