24.01.2022 Bella Bella, an 8 year old Cavalier, was a referral sent to our clinic for a pyometra. Pyometra is a condition that happens in undesexed females, where the uterus is full of infection. Pyometras can quickly turn dangerous and even fatal in some cases when not treated. How does it happen... Following a female being on a heat the hormone progesterone stays elevated for up to two months, which causes the lining of the uterus to thicken. If the animal doesnt fall pregnant after consecutive cycles the uterine walls continue to thicken, which in some cases then cause cysts within the uterine lining. The thickened cyst lining secretes fluid which creates an ideal environment for bacteria to grow and cause infection. Prevention Simply desexing your animal at an appropriate age will stop your female pet from having a pyometra. Treatment Once your animal has developed a pyometra your pet then requires emergency surgery to remove the puss filled uterus and lots of antibiotics to help fight against the infection. This becomes a lot more expensive and a higher complication list compared to a routine spey thats used as prevention.

20.01.2022 Happy Easter Saturday everyone Meet Mac, Mac broke into his parents chocolate stash the other day, luckily his parents were home and caught him red handed. Mack quickly regretted his decision after coming in to pay us a visit! Dogs and other animals dont have the correct enzymes to digest chocolate, which in some cases of chocolate ingestion leaves the animal with toxic side effects. With easter bunny visiting tonight if you find yourself in this position we have a ve...t available 24 hours over the long weekend on (03) 52313375 We hope everyone continues to have a happy & safe Easter See more

18.01.2022 Coda 4 month old German Shepard Coda presented to our clinic very flat, off colour and not eating. X-rays were performed which discovered Codas intestines were full of gas which is commonly seen with an intestinal obstruction (foreign material in the intestines). Dr. David decided the only real way to find out what was going on was to do an exploratory laparotomy. Where Dr. David would open the abdomen to examine to internal organs closely. WHAT DID WE FIND Poor li...ttle Coda has a very uncommon and potentially fatal condition called a mesenteric torsion. What is a mesenteric torsion? A mesenteric torsion is where the bowel twists around itself, cutting off blood supply to parts of the intestines causing them to die and potentially rupture. A condition that can quickly turn nasty for a healthy young puppy. Dr. David ended up removing 1/3 of Codas small intestines, that was past the point of saving and already dead. 2 weeks post surgery Coda came in for suture removal and as you can see he was very much back to his happy & healthy self.

18.01.2022 Everyone meet Bundi, a 10 year old Weimaraner. Bundi presented to our clinic in respiratory distress and very unsettled.

Bundi was put under general anaesthetic to dislodge the foreign body and push it into the stomach so it can pass through his system. 4 hours later and Bundi was already looking bright enough to eat some ham And 2 weeks on Bundi is back to his 100% normal and happy self, Bundis parents couldnt be happier

13.01.2022 Today, we remember the ANZACs who served and gave their lives during times of war, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Wed also like to take this chance to remember the service animals who stood beside all those men and women. Many of those animals never made it home. More than 16 million animals served during the First World War, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys and camels. They were mascots, provided comfort, carried messages, transported wounded soldiers... to safety, and played a huge part in moving large amounts of ammunition, food, water and medical supplies. Today, lets remember that service comes in many different forms. See more

12.01.2022 With all the magpies about at the moment, we thought it was a good time to remind people about fledgling season. Baby magpies leave the nest before their tail feathers have grown and can live on the ground being fed and protected by their parents during the day and are hidden in the undergrowth overnight. Members of the public sometimes confuse this act of nature with them being deserted or in distress. Many people think they are doing the right thing by performing a rescue... & bringing the baby magpies in to us. In reality, a majority of these will actually end up being juveniles that are learning to fly under the supervision of their parents. Obviously, if the baby magpie is on a road or in a back yard where there are cats or dogs, sometimes intervening is the only option. In this case, simply relocate the magpie to the closest safe place. If there is no immediate danger, then please leave them be

09.01.2022 DIZZY An 8 year old black pug, presented to our clinic last month with vomiting after eating gravel. Dr. Caroline performed X-rays that showed a large amount of gravel in the stomach and very minimal in the intestines. So Dr. David induced vomiting with hope to bring the gravel up. But Dizzy only successfully vomited up a few. Next step was to surgically enter Dizzys abdomen to reach access to the stomach and retrieve the stones. Dr. David successfully removed 1.3kg o...f gravel from Dizzys stomach, thats 10% of his body weight in gravel. Dizzy recovered well after surgery and was back to eating within a few hours post operation. See more

03.01.2022 Rat bait As the weather gets colder and some unwelcome little creatures move into you home please think of your pets before laying out rat bait. Rat bait is toxic for all animals when digested in a big enough dose. Rat bait is an anticoagulant and affects your animals clotting time. Meaning your pets everyday routine and healing process can create your pet to internally bleed. Depending of the type of rat bait they can affect your pet differently. Older brands can h...ave instant clinical affects on your animal, whereas more recently manufactured rat bait products can take anywhere from 3-5 days to affect them. What signs should you look out for? * Pale gums * Lethargic * Bleeding from eyes & nose * Blood in faeces or urine * Bruising on the skin * Off food What should you do if you catch your pet eating rat bait? * Call your vet ASAP * If you have the brand or packaging of the rat bait always bring it with you to the vets Your vet can do a ACT (activated clotting time) blood test to see if you pet has consumed rat bait or if caught in the act of eating rat bait your veterinarian can induce vomiting to bring up the rat bait contents before the body consumes it. Can my pet be treated? Luckily an antidote for rat bait exists - Vitamin K! Vitamin K allows clotting factors to be made, replacing the damage that the rat bait has done. Allowing your pet to clot normally again. Rat bait can stay in your animals system for as long as 4-6 weeks, meaning they will be on Vitamin K for a prolonged period of time.
