25.01.2022 Introducing Veterinary Nurse, Lily (we’ll blame COVID-19 for the delay with this post ) Lily comes from the High Country and has always loved everything animal, especially dog training. She breeds and shows award winning poultry and loves horseriding, both for pleasure and competition. Lily completed her Equine Certificate III in 2016 and then enrolled in Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing, qualifying in 2018. She was also nominated for the outstanding Veterinary Nurse student award. On the weekends Lily rides her horses, Clyde and Falcon, runs her dog training business and enjoys the farming lifestyle. Lily is the proud servant of a variety of animals, but you will mostly see her with Pookie, a Poodle X, Sambo a Blue Heeler X and Carter, a German Shepherd X.

19.01.2022 Hi to all our loyal clients! Just letting you know about a big change that is happening here at Rose’s Veterinary Practice. Some of you may already be aware that I (Rose!) am selling after 17 years of ownership. It’s been a big decision but ultimately I feel that it’s the right time for me and my family. I will miss all of you - my fabulous clients and patients but have great memories and photos and will still be somewhere around Echuca to say hi to. My best wishes to you and your furry families Also, please be aware that the amazing staff will still be here to give their usual great service! I would like to introduce the new clinic owner, Dr Maxine Donnan (who many of you may already know!) and wish her all the best for the future with the newly named Perricoota Vet Clinic!

19.01.2022 Ripley, Murphy and Timmy take out this weeks award for all round cuteness!

17.01.2022 On Monday we mentioned sky jalapeños, more commonly known as bees ... Mr Sambo (one of Nurse Lily’s accident prone fur babies) had a run in with one of these pesky critters and ended up with a swollen schnoz. Bee stings can cause the same reactions in our pets as they do ourselves, from mild localised pain and swelling, to hives, vomiting and diarrhoea, to breathing difficulties and anaphylaxis (these ones require immediate Veterinary care). If your pet has decided to play with a sky jalapeño, please call us for first aid advice or an appointment.

17.01.2022 I think it’s about time we introduced our new owner and Veterinarian to you all. Meet Dr Maxine Donnan The newly named clinic Perricoota Vet Clinic will still offer the same personalized service and care for you and your pets. Maxine is looking forward to meeting everyone, and is ready for the exciting times ahead. Watch this space ... Photo of Maxine and Product manager Pookie. See more

17.01.2022 Mr Sambo was perfectly patient whilst having his regular weigh in and our clients will know that this is a regular occurrence when attending the Practice. So why do we weigh your pets? Weight can be a indicator of their health, so it's important that we make sure your pet is weighed each and every visit. By monitoring your pet's weight (losses and gains) we can ensure they’re healthy and address any weight issues early. We also use weight to work out medication so an accurate weigh in is essential to ensure correct dosage.

10.01.2022 Let’s talk about cats and babies! We’ve started to receive phone calls from concerned cat owners about changes in their (female) cat’s behaviour, especially persistent meowing and howling, rolling and rubbing on objects and general friskiness, all signs of a female cat being on heat or cycling Cat’s are seasonal breeders, this happens usually during the warmer months from August - March. Female cats can start cycling as young as 4 months old and will cycle multiple ...times a year, as frequently as every 14-21 days. They can have multiple litters in a year and start cycling again within days of giving birth - the chart below demonstrates how easily cat numbers can multiply! So how can you avoid a boom in the cat population? By desexing of course! Desexing is an effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce the number of unwanted animals in shelters (the RSPCA alone receives 125,000 animals annually from unplanned breeding). Desexing can also benefit their health, by reducing the risk of reproductive tumours, uterine infections, viral infections and injuries occurred by mating or giving birth. Female cats can safely be desexed during their season or early pregnancy, but since it takes two to tango make sure your male cats are also fixed (male cats may fight more during breeding season to protect their territory). *** please be aware, if you advertise a kitten or cat for sale or give away in Victoria, you will require a Source Number from the Pet Exchange Register - more information https://per.animalwelfare.vic.gov.au/

10.01.2022 Santa photos are on NOW! Come on down to the vet clinic!!

10.01.2022 The look on Thomas’ face when he was told he was going on a diet was priceless, weighing in at 10.2kg we hope that he will become our next weight loss champion. Whilst there is more of him to love, extra kilos are as detrimental to our pet’s health as it is to our own. Watch this space to support Thomas in his journey!

08.01.2022 Pookie on the shelf ! Christmas party last night....Pookie did not pull up well Merry Christmas ya filthy animals from Pookie

08.01.2022 Rocky was feeling a little under the weather after he was made to vomit up a child’s toy. His owners noticed his potentially dangerous snacking habits straight away and sought veterinary attention immediately. Ingestion of foreign bodies (which can be anything a dog isn’t meant to eat, E.g. toys, garden hoses, corn cobs, rocks, socks etc) or toxic / poisonous products (E.g. rat poisons) can cause serious health issues for our pets, but if caught early enough, can somethings can be vomited up before major illness starts and avoiding surgery. Rocky was very lucky in this situation and went home with tail wagging.

07.01.2022 Pookie on the shelf Viewer discretion Check out these nuts, we walked in on pookie performing a special procedure on his toy monkey. * Don’t worry no Pookies consumed nuts in this surgery *
