25.01.2022 A DAY IN THE LIFE AS A VET | Dr Emma’s days are never dull. Today was a classic example. Heading to Melton Sth to visit a client, Emma passed a lonely and injured pelican in the emergency lane of the Western H’Way, a good 30kms as the Pelican Flys, from the nearest beach but not far from a local Fish ‘n’ Chip shop.... After receiving assistance from passing motorists and the Boys in Blue, Emma managed to assist the Pelican and safely transport her / him to the Melbourne Zoo.... The staff at Melbourne Zoo will be keeping a close eye on the lost pelican and will nurse her / him back to good health. We offered to pay the Bill..... Just added another chapter to the memoir. Stay Safe All. PS - Photos kindly supplied by assisting motorist.

23.01.2022 PESKY SWALLOWS | For those with a working dog or a pup that just wants to chase things - you would know the pain when your pup would lock their radar in on those pesky (bloody) swallows. No matter how much recall training one does, you end up looking like a crazy, screaming, fish mongers housewife....trying to get your dog back! Mamma Elephant I share your pain. ... https://www.homesluxury.net/baby-elephant-dances-with-bird/

23.01.2022 We all love the work these girls and guys are doing for Veterinary Mental Health. Take care all!!

22.01.2022 ESSENTIAL SERVICES | Today we dropped off some much needed supplies to Forever Friends Animal Rescue. It was lovely to see the awesome work Saskia, Eric and their team are doing for all those animals big and small - who need a little (and a lot) bit of TLC.

22.01.2022 HERE TO HELP | Everyone (In Victoria) has had a bloody tough 2020. If you have had to farewell a faithful furry friend - it has been even tougher. If you think you might require some help - we highly recommend Dr Vanessa Rohlf to get you through. ... Love to you all. Em & Greg

21.01.2022 RADIO | Tomorrow, Sunday 20 September - tune your wireless to 774 ABC at / around 11:15am (*Premier Dans 11am Press conference dependant) to hear Dr Emma have a chat with the wonderful Libbi Gorr, on her Sunday Morning show This Weekend Life. The conversation will centre on the many different ways we can memorialise our departed pets. https://www.abc.net.au//melbourne/programs/thisweekendlife/

20.01.2022 A GREAT READ | The Sunday Age had a wonderful article / opinion piece recently aptly titled ‘The dogs are in our corner, as always’. Three really cool things were: 1. In 2017, the ADF became the first defence force in the world to honour military working dogs; the Canine Operational Service Medal - bears the image of Quake, an army combat assault dog killed in action in Afghanistan. ... How good are our ADF! Forget pinning that medal on. We love you Quake! 2. Those who were more gravely wounded could call the dogs over so they could embrace them and have their company while they died. Can someone please pass me the tissues. As if dogs couldn’t get anymore awesome, they just did. 3. Trump is the first POTUS in 118 years to not own a dog while in the White House. Well there you go...now that pretty much explains everything. Enough said........... Stay safe, stay home and wash you hands. https://www.theage.com.au//the-dogs-are-in-our-corner-as-a

18.01.2022 The University of Sydney, School of Veterinary Science presents the 10th Annual Robert Dixon Memorial Animal Welfare Symposium. This event is presented in collaboration with the Centre for Veterinary Education. This year the topic is End-of-life decisions in non-production animals and will explore a series of critical questions regarding companion, performance, zoo and wild animals. ... Most animals in our care are not left to die without human intervention. What form should that intervention take and when should it be delivered? Dr Emma Whiston is most honoured to be included on the panel of veterinary experts selected from around Australia to navigate the issues and ethics surrounding this topic. Please feel free join us on Wednesday 26 August from 2pm. 1. This is a free webinar session. Register (see link below) to receive an email with details on how you can join on the day.
