24.01.2022 Good news for all our clients who are finding it tricky to get in during the week at MVH....we are re opening on Saturdays!! This Saturday will be our first. There will, however, be a few differences compared to before.... *We will not be performing the following: vaccinations, Proheart injections, cartrophen injections, or sutures out. This is because it takes much longer to see everyone while still practising social distancing, and we only have the same staff numbers on a Saturday as we did pre-Covid. * We will be running the clinic like it is during the week at present: asking you to wait in the car upon arrival and phone to let us know you are here. * Food and medication pick ups are welcome, but we cannot fill new medication requests unless they were submitted before 12pm on Friday. Thanks for bearing with us as we navigate this tricky time. *Photo is of Matilda - owned by Dr Alex - eating something she shouldn’t be. If you find yourself in this situation this Saturday morning we will happily see you for a routine consult!

23.01.2022 MVH would like to thank all of our clients for being so patient, trusting and understanding this year as we've been navigating our industry Covid protocols. You have put up with being separated from your pets, a very non-pandemic ready phone system and vets attempting to use the EFTPOS machines. These protocols have allowed us to stay open and safe. However seeing as it's no longer Sicktoria and donuts are aplenty, we are happy to say that soon we'll be bringing ya'll back in! There will still be some rules in place to tick the social distancing boxes and masks are required, but we will post some more info this week as we work the details out. As they're saying in the US right now, cheers cheers get on the beers.

23.01.2022 Source number requirement There are changes to the prescribed identifying information required to be collected when implanting a microchip into a cat or dog, effective from 1 July 2020. The law currently requires any person who advertises the sale or giving away of dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, to include a source number on their advertisement, along with the animal’s microchip number.... This applies to registered breeding domestic animal businesses, shelters, pounds, pet shops, recreational breeders, micro breeders and any person or organisation who advertises dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for sale or to give away. An authorised implanter must collect and include a source number as part of the microchip registration form for all dogs and cats born from 1 July 2020. A failure to do so may incur penalties under the Domestic Animals Regulations 2015. A client must provide a source number for a dog or cat born after 1 July 2020 to enable an authorised implanter to implant it with a microchip. No source number, no microchip. MVH will ask you for the source number at the time of booking, please have this available. If you have not already applied for a source number at the time of booking, you will be required to have completed your application prior to the consult. To obtain a source number, go to..... https://per.animalwelfare.vic.gov.au/

18.01.2022 Happy Fur-there’s Day to all of the fur dads out there

17.01.2022 Highly recommend.

17.01.2022 We have had 3 cases of Canine Parvovirus in the past week. Dogs that develop the disease show signs of the illness within three to seven days. The signs may include lethargy, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea (usually bloody). Generally, the first sign of Parvo is lethargy. Secondary signs are loss of weight and appetite or diarrhea followed by vomiting, resulting in dehydration. Dogs have a distinctive odor in the later stages of the infection. The white blood cell level f...alls, further weakening the dog. Any or all of these factors can lead to shock and death. Survival rate depends on how quickly Parvo is diagnosed, the age of the dog, and how aggressive the treatment is. Treatment usually involves extensive hospitalisation, due to severe dehydration and potential damage to the intestines and bone marrow. Prevention of Parvo is really as simple as a vaccination.

16.01.2022 Friday feels....

12.01.2022 Meet Manni Manni is a dearly loved 5 year old Doberman. Her story, as you will see, is about triumphing against all odds. Never in her life had Manni been as sick as she was this Easter. Only very rarely, do we see a patient come as close to death as Manni did, and recover to go home. ...Continue reading

09.01.2022 If you’re the owner of a deep-chested dog - German Shepherd, Boxer, Dobermann, Great Dane, to name a few - it is so important to familiarise yourself with the signs of gastric dilation volvulus (GDV). When caught and treated early, the outcome can be a positive one. Thanks for your lovely review, Dawn. We are so glad everything turned out OK

07.01.2022 What a stunning day for the first day of Spring

06.01.2022 No sleeping in tomorrow Bad clock!

05.01.2022 Sometimes our pets do silly things! Meet Moe, a 3 year old gentle giant who belongs to one of our head nurses, Leander. Moe originally came from SARG and has always been a healthy boy - he has even donated blood to help sick patients, when needed. ... On Friday night Moe didn’t want his tea. By Saturday, he was even sicker. Xrays looked suspicious so when he still wasn’t eating today, a decision was made to perform an exploratory laparotomy and have a look for a possible foreign body. What we discovered could only happen to a staff dog: Moe had eaten some Vetwrap bandaging material, and one end of this had become stuck in his stomach, while the rest of the long piece had travelled through almost to his large intestine! The effect of a linear foreign body like this is devastating to the intestinal tract, as it bunches up, known as plication, looking a bit like a hair scrunchie. Luckily for Moe, we got in before any irreversible damage had occurred. While our fingers are very much still crossed, we anticipate that he should make a full recovery. Let’s hope he stays well away from the first aid box from now on!

The nurses will not be taking requests on a face to face basis, you will need to call from outside of the building. All payment is to be contactless unless this is unavoidable.
