24.01.2022 Meet Sassy! Sassy came in to see us because she was not feeling well, vomiting, had diarrhoea, and was not eating, which is unusual for a kelpie puppy! Upon examination the vet found a firm sausage-like mass in the abdomen. In young dogs with this presentation, a common differential is an intussusception, which is essentially when one part of the intestines slides into another part, like a collapsible telescope! This is a painful and potentially fatal issue that often require...s surgical intervention. Dr. Carla Goldman performed the surgery and found that a small segment of intestines had to be removed as the blood flow had been compromised to this area due to the intussusception. The surgery went well and the nurses ensured a safe recovery and by the next day Sassy was up and eating. Within a couple of days, Sassy was ready to go home to her family. We have recently received an update on Sassy and she is going very well! One happy pup!! See more

24.01.2022 POST FLOOD WATER RISKS FOR OUR ANIMALS Flood water has been contaminated with sewage which may contain E. coli or parasites such as giardia, which can cause serious gastrointestinal upsets include vomiting and diarrhoea. It is important to BOIL water in areas affected prior to drinking and this applies to our pets water also. Please do not let your dogs play in flood waters, if they do run into flood waters or puddles left by flood waters give them a bath to decontaminate t...he skin. Be alert to snakes and spiders that may have taken refuge in your home or yard. The immediate issues for livestock during and following floods often relate to trauma and exposure injury. However, other significant impacts on livestock can arise from infectious disease; Clostridial (mainly blackleg) and leptospiral (lepto) infections represent a risk after flooding. Prolonged wetness of wool can also lead to skin infections, the most common of which is lumpy wool in sheep. If you require any assistance or advice please call us on 4587 9000. We will be only open today from 10am to 4pm.

24.01.2022 Last night we had a visit from 2 lovely Boxers.

These two lovely dogs are now all up to date for their annual vaccinations including their heart worm.

03.01.2022 Socialisation... (it's probably not what you think it is). Dogs go through a critical period of development that lasts roughly from 3 weeks-16 weeks of age. In this time, they are forming ideas and opinions about the world around them; good and bad. They are developing social bonds and learning how their behaviour impacts other living creatures. This is the period where sociability outweighs fear and therefore this is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to ...Continue reading

01.01.2022 TICK DANGER We are heading into tick season! Paralysis ticks are usually most commonly seen in the warmer months, often following rainfall, however they are still prevalent in winter months too! Paralysis ticks are dangerous parasites that cause gradual progressive paralysis of the body, usually starting from the hind legs. Clinical signs to look out for include weakness in hind legs or all limbs, change in voice, difficulty breathing or swallowing. Tick paralysis can be fat...al without early intervention, so if you find any of these signs then bring your animal to the vet. This is why we highly recommend a regular tick prevention for your furry family members! We have many products available, and you can pop by anytime during our opening hours to purchase them. If you have any questions or concerns, then give us a call on 4587 9000 or pop in during our consultation hours (8am-11am and 4pm-7pm on weekdays; 9am-12pm weekends) and we’ll be happy to have a chat with you!
