22.01.2022 When we said dress up for Christmas , Billy said challenge accepted! Billy is a 6yr old mix of gorgeousness owned by our nurse Marina. Billy is particularly sooky and we’re told is a useless guard dog . He certainly attacks every challenge with enthusiasm though lol .

21.01.2022 At Williams River, Morpeth and Karuah veterinary clinics we value our staff and clients health and well being above all else . We would like to request that clients who are experiencing a cough, runny nose , sore throat or fever - not to attend our clinics. If you do find yourself exhibiting these symptoms and have an animal needing veterinary care please contact the clinics to get advice on how best to proceed. The world health organisation (WHO) have recently advised th...at there is no evidence indicating companion animals can contract the COVID-19 virus . An early positive test of a dog in Hong Kong resulted in a negative second test, so whilst animal owners should always practice good hygiene there is no current cause for concern. We hope this virus is gone as quickly as it arrived and hope our clients remain healthy and happy during this developing situation.

17.01.2022 Following the advice of our veterinary surgeons board and the state and federal government we have again changed our practices to further reduce in clinic contact. We will continue to adapt as this pandemic changes , to ensure we can remain open for our clients for as long as possible. Our current changes include : Spacing out our appointment times to minimise the amount of people in our clinic reception area . ... Requesting that only one person accompanies an animal into our clinic . We are working towards offering teleconsultation and are hoping to have this option available this week. We will discuss it’s potential use when appointments are made. Offering to take your animal inside for you to complete the physical exam before returning your animal to the car and discusssing with you our findings . We have reduced the amount of surgeries we perform daily - to maintain available space for emergency procedures . Our cleaning schedules have again increased to ensure we are offering the safest environment we can. Offering postage of medications and products where available . We are requesting card payments where possible to reduce contact time and avoid cash exchange These are challenging times and the feeling of seriousness compounded last week when we did an inventory of equipment and supplies to make available to hospitals should they require them. During these stressful times our vets and nurses have continued to be amazing - all dedicated to providing the absolute best service we can for as long as we can. Thankyou to our clients for their support and respect. On a lighter note - let’s hope veterinary professionals aren’t called in to help in hospitals , I don’t think people will appreciate how we take temperatures

15.01.2022 In a bid to be more efficient and do our part in reducing waste we are taking our clinic one step closer to paperless.

We guarantee there will be no promotional material sent and the email addresses will be added straight into our client files which are governed under strict medical document laws. To save the dog from chewing up his vaccination reminder in a bid to prevent you see...ing it - please send us an email from your preferred email address , include your name and mobile number , and we’ll update your client file so you’re ready to roll with the new system.

15.01.2022 I’m sure everyone has noticed the increase in mosquito activity recently , unfortunately our bunnies are noticing it most of all . We have had 5 cases of Myxomatosis in pet rabbits just this week. This is a horrible and in most cases fatal disease for rabbits to acquire - and it is spread by mosquitos. There is no vaccine for myxomatosis, and no specific treatment, their best defence is protection from the mosquitos themselves. Please ensure rabbit hutches are enclosed with a fine mesh shade cloth and consider bringing rabbits inside once early afternoon sets in. The most notable symptoms include swelling of the ears and genitals , if your rabbit seems out of sorts and you notice it is exhibiting similar signs of swelling please contact the clinic.

12.01.2022 We know he’s not a dog , but he certainly thinks he’s one! Meet Stewart, he’s a 9yo domestic medium hair owned by nurse Sarah.

On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me .... 6 geese-a-laying #12dogsofchristmas #yesitsacat #christmas #dml #sixgeesealaying

09.01.2022 HENDRA VIRUS VACCINATION DRIVE On the back of horrific weather events in the Summer we anticipate the bat populations in our region will be under greater food stress this Winter. Stress events are thought to lead to a greater risk of disease transmission to horses and then on to people. Please consider vaccinating your horses to minimise any potential risk. DISCOUNTED COSTS... Vaccination cost: $90 (per dose) Microchip: $50 (once off fee) FREE TRAVEL DAYS FOR VACCINATION - Raymond Terrace/Medowie direction: Tuesday 24/3 - Stroud/Dungog direction: Thursday 26/3 To make a booking for these dates please call the clinic on 4996 4441. If you are in the direction of Paterson and Vacy, our Hendra vaccination run will be on Wednesday 25/3. Please call Morpeth Veterinary Hospital on 4933 5999 to make a booking. More information: - Horses who have never received a vaccination require a booster at 3-6 weeks AND 6 months after the initial dose, then annually. They also require a microchip to be added onto the Hendra registry. - The 6 month or annual booster can be up to 5 weeks late while still maintaining the protected status on the Hendra registry. - If annual vaccination is greater than 5 weeks but less than 6 months overdue, a single booster is required to maintain immunity. - If annual vaccination is greater than 6 months overdue, a two dose course is required 4-6 weeks apart and then annually to maintain immunity. If you have any further questions or concerns please refer to the information factsheet below or phone to schedule a phone call from one of our vets. https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au//Hendra-Virus-Primefact-970-1.p

08.01.2022 Over the last few weeks we have been called to assist livestock from being stuck in the mud. As dams dry out, they need to move deeper into the drying dams to seek water. When they are unable to get themselves out, exhaustion sets in and then this requires valuable resources to help them, namely fire and rescue services. To assist livestock (including horses) and our overstretched fire fighters, please provide alternative, safe water sources for them to drink from. Also fencing off dams and thick mud areas will help to keep them safe. These are trying times for us all including our livestock.
