22.01.2022 Today we want to wish our Dr Toni a big happy birthday!! We are so lucky to have such a dedicated, passionate boss and Vet We hope you enjoy your birthday week which will be filled with lots of cake

17.01.2022 Happy Vet Nurses day to the super team and backbone of Perth Pet Vet. Thank you for treating each patient as though they are your own, your cheery smiles your 100% commitment to ensuring cuddles and treats are dispensed regularly, your professional approach to clients and the reassurance you give that their babies are in the safest of hands. Thank you also for the unwavering support you give to myself and team of wonderful vets

16.01.2022 Animals get heart disease too. Meet Whitey, the 36 year old corella, who presented to Perth Pet Vet for weight loss. Dr Toni detected a rapid and unusual heart rate on physical exam. Concerned about the possibility of heart disease Whitey was referred to the wonderful imaging specialists at Animalius Vet for an echocardiogram. The results showed he did indeed have a serious heart issue. Whitey has now been started on medication to help his heart work more efficiently. Hi...s medication was especially made up Pina Colada flavour (don't let his friends know) to make it more palatable. We are grateful to have access to the Specialists at Animalius to help us with cases where more advanced diagnostics can be undertaken to allow us to determine the best care plan for out patient. "Whitey" will have a follow up scan in 6 weeks to determine if his condition is stable. See more

15.01.2022 Santa photos have begun! We have some free spaces this afternoon if your pets would like their photos with Santa, please contact the clinic on 6399 7276 to secure your booking. Just a reminder that the photos cost $15 each and the proceeds will go to Greener Pastures Sanctuary.

15.01.2022 The weather is warming up and we have had reports of snakes out and about. Nurse Carmel's dog Clancy had a close encounter recently in their own back yard. Carmel came home to find a dead snake on the patio. Even though Clancy wasn't showing any signs of envenomation, Carmel knew to bring him straight in to the hospital where he could be closely monitored. Snake venom can affect a number of body organs. This can differ between snake species. Blood was collected to mea...sure Clancy's clotting times (how long it took his blood to clot in a special tube) Clotting times are prolonged if a dog or cat has been envenomated by a snake. Clancy's clotting times were borderline and it was late in the evening. To be safest we sent him to WAVES for 24 hour monitoring overnight. Luckily he was discharged early the next morning with a clean bill of health. If there is any chance at all that your pet has been bitten by a snake. Don't delay getting them to the hospital where they can be monitored and treatment started without delay should clinical signs develop. At Perth Pet Vet we make sure we always have antivenin in stock in case of these emergencies.

14.01.2022 Today we say goodbye (for a short while) and good luck to our practice manager and veterinary nurse extraordinaire Jodie as she prepares to welcome her human baby in to the world We know she will make an amazing human mummy because she is already an amazing mummy to her animal family We can’t wait until he/she arrives

13.01.2022 We will be closed this coming Monday for the Public holiday but hours are back to normal on Tuesday. In case of emergency please contact WAVES on 9412 5700. Hope you all enjoy your long weekend and hit the beach like Panda here :)

13.01.2022 Introducing the new member of our team, Nurse Sam! Sam is our bird enthused nurse. She has her own cheeky Galah at home "Nugget", along with Sausage Dog "Kora" and Cat "Dutchess". Sam has been nursing for 4 years now and has always wanted to combine her passion for bird welfare with nursing. One of Sam's dreams is to head to New Zealand and assist in the conservation of their native bird the Kakapo.

13.01.2022 Tis the season ..... Spring is upon us and for many animals this signals a time to breed. Meet Buddy, a 65yr old galah who thought it would be a good idea to lay an egg, despite now being classed as a senior citizen. She came into Perth Pet Vet feeling very unwell. The surprise egg was discovered on palpation of her abdomen and confirmed with a quick x-ray. Once she had been stabilised, Dr Toni and her team performed delicate surgery to remove the egg. A week later, Buddy came back to visit and we were happy to hear she was back to her usual firey self. There is a rumour she once took on a kookaburra!!!

12.01.2022 Our Christmas photos with Santa are only a few days away!! Bookings are filling up quick so if you want your animal children to have their photos with Santa then call the clinic on 6399 7276. We had nurse Kate's snake Salazar in to be our tester model

11.01.2022 Little Newt was our patient today. His hedgehog toy is his little "safety blanket" Who else has a pet that has their own "safety blanket"? Post your pictures below

11.01.2022 From the very old to the very young This 2 week old baby Indian Ringneck accidentally ingested some of his bedding when he was only a week old. The material accumulated in the crop, initially it didn’t cause any issues but his people continued to monitor him daily. A week later the crop started to have problems emptying. Luckily in this time he had doubled in size to a grand weight of 25g.... Dr Toni and her team performed micro surgery to remove the material. The risky procedure went well and he made a full recovery

10.01.2022 This is Buddy a New Zealand Giant Rabbit. He was in for treatment with Dr Vicky and despite his size he is such a cuddly boy. His mum said he loves to lay on his back and have belly rubs, when we tried this technique he actually fell asleep

05.01.2022 Heat Stroke. An important and timely safety message as the weather starts to warm Tuesday night we treated our first case of heat stroke for the year. It is not summer yet, but days are starting to get getting warmer. This case highlights that even on days you may not consider hot, its important to watch your four-legged companion for signs they may not be coping with the warmer weather. This is especially for animals at higher risk such as short nosed smoochy faced d...ogs who often have small nostrils and narrow tracheas (wind pipes), dogs who have a history of noisy breathing, snoring or excessive panting, elderly pets, and pets with existing heart or lung conditions. This 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier presented to our clinic at 5pm. He had been playing ball in the park when his owner noticed he was excessively panting and having trouble walking. He had also vomited. When he arrived at the clinic, his tongue and gums were purple, a sign of lack of oxygen, he was clearly distressed and having trouble breathing. His temperature was 42.1 degrees. If left untreated, and unfortunately, in some cases even with veterinary treatment, heat stroke can result in devastating consequences such as muscle damage and bleeding disorders. It can damage body organs such as the kidneys, the liver, the lungs and brain, lead to seizures and can rapidly be fatal. Our patient was immediately started on supplementary oxygen and given a sedative, while we actively started to cool him down. He was placed on intravenous fluids to protect his body organs and help lower his body temperature. Unfortunately, he was still distressed and not getting enough oxygen. The decision was made to anaesthetise him and place a tube into his trachea to keep him asleep, his airways open and deliver oxygen more effectively. It took an hour before the team was able to normalise his body temperature. Over the next hour we began the process of waking him up slowly. Often these cases develop swelling at the back of their throat which makes breathing difficult and they can relapse quickly. Eventually we were able to remove the tube keeping his airways open and he was able to breath on his own while, maintaining oxygen levels above 98%. It was a very close call and he was lucky his people took rapid action. Summer is not yet here, but this is an important reminder it does not need to be 40 degrees for to happen. If you notice signs of heatstroke in your canine companion or are concerned, please call your vet for advice, or if they are deteriorating take them straight to a close vet or emergency centre. The quicker treatment is started the better the chance of a happy outcome. Stay safe and enjoy this beautiful weather

04.01.2022 Peek a boo I see you One of Dr Toni’s patients today was up for a game of hide and seek

04.01.2022 Zander, the green wing macaw being raised by Dr Toni has started weaning and been introduced to solid fresh food this week Can anyone guess what the current favourite vegetable is ?

03.01.2022 I truly believe birds should be hand raised knowing they are birds, with clutch mates to bond with and learn from. This can reduce behavioural issues later in life. Five weeks ago, I took home a baby Green Wing Macaw, who due to some complications, needed around the clock care. He/She is now thriving.... going from 138g to 1.1kg. I wanted to expose this little baby to other birds (after confirming with extensive testing that there were no infectious diseases) So step in Saffie, my Green Wing Macaw. She joined us for a supervised grooming session on the couch last night. Saffie is still a big baby herself and was very gentle, and of course received her fair share of pampering too

02.01.2022 We are already creating quite the buzz with the event and the bookings already coming through!! Thanks to everyone who has shown an interest. Further updates will be added to the event so keep a watch. We have been working on creating hampers for the raffle which will be announced next week :) Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!

02.01.2022 Exciting news We now stock Burgess Rabbit and Guinea Pig Food and are excited to promote the Burgess Excel Feeding Plan. Rabbits and guinea pigs are fibrevores and thrive on high fibre, low energy food, eg. hay and grass. Their digestive systems are kept busy with a mix of two kinds of fibre moving through the gut all times (these types of fibre are called digestible and indigestible fibre). Fibrevores can't get enough energy and nutrition from the fibre when it passes throu...gh their gut the first time, so they re-ingest it to get as much nutrition as possible. This is a process called caecotrophy or coprophagia. 90% of their diet should be long stem grass or hay with the remainder being made up of pellets, treats and leafy greens. 90% is equivalent to approximately the size of your rabbit or guinea pig in hay or grass daily. Did you know that rabbit's teeth erupt continuously and can grow up to 3mm a week? Long stem fibre is the best thing to ensure constant wear of these continuously growing teeth. Without it dental disease and digestive problems can result. The Burgess Excel food comes in a range of flavors and treats. Feel free to drop by and grab some great food for your little critters
