20.01.2022 Meet Max! This handsome boy decided that a rock looked delicious and caused himself some trouble. Max presented to Moreton Bay Equine Vets for being lethargic, painful and disinterested in playing. He had a tense abdomen and a temperature of 39.7oC (normal temperature is below 39.2oC). He had full bloods done and had elevated neutrophils (indication of inflammation and/or infection). An ultrasound and radiograph of his abdomen revealed a strange looking object in h...is intestines. Max was taken to surgery for an exploratory laparotomy, where a long incision was made midline in the abdomen to inspect the abdominal organs. We found a rock stuck in his intestines, as well as a section of intestine that had perforated due to damage from the rock passing through. An enterotomy (making an incision into the intestines) was made to remove the rock, and an enterectomy and anastomosis (removing a section of unhealthy bowel and connecting the two healthy ends back together) were performed. After surgery Max had to stay in hospital with intensive medical care for 5 days to resolve the infection that had been caused by the perforated intestines. Thankfully, Max is tough and has now made a full recovery at home thanks to his very dedicated owners. It is quite common for dog’s to eat unusual objects, some of which can cause obstructions or, like in Max’s case, perforations. Some signs that your dog my have a foreign body include (but are not limited to): vomiting, lethargy, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, straining to defecate, diarrhoea and changes in behaviour (e.g. growling when being touched on the tummy). Max’s owner’s quick response to their unwell dog made a huge difference in the outcome of this case. If you are ever worried about a change in your pet’s behaviour or health, always seek veterinary advice immediately.

17.01.2022 It’s that time of year again. The clinic has had a busy week with the mares. We can’t wait to see what all of the frozen semen babies look like!

16.01.2022 The 1st of August marks the southern hemisphere’s horses birthday. Whilst all horses are not born on the same day it helps to standardise horse events, particularly racing and it is linked to the breeding season of horses.

05.01.2022 It’s the first day of spring!! This means that it is the start of the official Australian breeding season. From today onwards mares can be mated to or covered by stallions. The average gestation period (time for the foal to be born) for a horse is approximately 340 days, so the first foals generally arrive in early August. ... Moreton Bay Equine Vets can assist you if you are looking to breed. We offer walk on services as well as fresh and frozen insemination. Please contact us and we will send you our information pamphlet.

04.01.2022 Our unusual visitor! This turtle was picked up on the side of the D’Aguilar Highway by a couple of Good Samaritans who were concerned it had been injured in the traffic. The turtle, (who our team named Steven), was thankfully unharmed with no obvious cracks in the shell. Damage to the shell on either side of the body is common with vehicle trauma and requires immediate veterinary assessment. To make sure Steven didn’t have any hidden injuries we took radiographs. ... No injuries could be found, and Steven was released back into the wild. It is quite common during or after rain for turtles to migrate from their usual homes to feed in seasonal lagoons that offer a short-term abundance of food. Unfortunately, this means that they are often killed and injured in traffic and their numbers are declining in heavily populated areas. Drive carefully and keep an eye out for our shelled friend.

03.01.2022 Had your pets got a microchip with up to date details, of not book in today....just in case!

02.01.2022 Getting any animal pregnant is all about doing things at the right time. We are inducing ovulation in 3 mares tonight for a cover with imported frozen semen from the US on Wednesday.
