25.01.2022 Koalas make the New York Times! An article on chlamydia research featuring Professor Peter Timms work at USC, How Koalas with an S.T.D. Could Help Humanity: was featured in the New York Times recently. This is vital research our Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital in Plympton is very proud to have been a part of. https://www.nytimes.com//s/chlamydia-koalas-vaccines.html... Peter has spent the past decade developing a chlamydia vaccine for koalas and is now conducting trials on wild koalas in the hope that his formula will soon be ready for wider release; We can do something in koalas you could never do in humans,. You can read more about Peters' work here: https://www.usc.edu.au//giving-opp/koala-research-project

25.01.2022 Spring has sprung.. Time to really cut that grass! The changing of the season brings us a rise in temperatures and long dry spells. However, this could lead to issues in the coming few weeks and months and if you have grass to mow or tend to it is vital that you do so to protect the health and wellbeing of your pets. We are all aware that snakes like to seek out the cooler long grass. However, with grass left untended as the weather warms the grass seeds are a potential ...veterinary emergency for both dogs, cats and many other pets as they can easily penetrate the skin and eyes and could lead to painful infection. So, keep your grass areas regularly treated and mowed as short as possible!

25.01.2022 It is the time of year when snakes are emerging! Whilst our pets might think it is fun to chase them, bites can happen quickly and the consequences could be devastating. The typical onset of envenomation signs are noticeably different in cats and dogs. Dogs can show changes within a few hours of a bite whilst in cats it can take days for them to show signs. ... However both species can have other reactions to venom that lead to deterioration within minutes. So be aware. It is best to keep dog on a leash and cat indoors as much as possible. Catching the early signs can make all the difference and with prompt treatment there is a good chance of recovery.

22.01.2022 Our team at Southern Animal Hospital received this Echidna handed in by a member of the public who found him trying to get into their house. As we know Echidnas are homely creatures, but within their own homely environment. Under the supervision of Dr Bertrand he was fully checked over and is now being cared for at our Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Hospital At Southern Vet Group are totally committed to native Australian wildlife and accept any that are found out of place. They then receive the best of care at our clinics before being transferred to the Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Hospital for ongoing treatment ahead of (hopefully!) being released back into their own happy habitat.

21.01.2022 Recent times have seen many take on a new dog into their family. We think this is great! However, remember that your dog cannot eat a number of things as these are toxic to them. These include;... Apples (whole), Apricots, Cherries, Peaches, Plums Chocolate Cooked and Smoked bones Sultanas, Raisins and Grapes Onions and Garlic Macadamia Nuts Avocado We know that due to their very nature a dog could decide to eat something that they should not, beyond our control. There are many other household items and plants to be weary of too. If at any stage they do, or you have any doubt, call or bring them to the vet as soon as possible so that vomiting can be induced.

19.01.2022 Ollie was orphaned as a joey. Thankfully was nurtured and raised by a fantastic carer.

By supporting us, you are helping support sick, injured and orphaned wildlife like Ollie. But for more details on how to donate directly to the hospital, visit the Facebook page Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Hospital or website www.akawhospital.org.au

05.01.2022 Dogs arrived in Australia between 1,000 and 800 years ago. It has long been known that dogs are our best friends. Now in its 16th year, today August 26 is the day that the world celebrates a day dedicated to our canine companions. Its purpose is to highlight the number of rescue dogs in need of a forever home, whilst also recognising the love dogs bring into our lives and homes and the great work they do on farm properties and also for the emergency and security services and ...those of us living with disabilities. What can we do to do our little bit today? Give your dog a cuddle and tell them you love them! Go for a walk in a new place. Most dogs love exploring new and interesting places with their best friend. Host a playdate. Does your dog have another furry best friend? Bake some dog friendly treats. Donate to your local shelter. Also, to celebrate today we have a short video of just some of the wonderful puppies that have progressed through our pre-schools in the past few months, bringing us and their owners joy during these uncertain times in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDT2qoyz--w&feature=youtu.be

04.01.2022 Today is International Cat Day! Did you know that cats have been human companions for 10,000 years? They are the most popular pet in the world. Cats in Australia are traced back many fewer years maybe not as recent as you might think as evidence suggest that they arrived before European settlement via the many shipwrecks predominantly around the coast of Western Australia. ... International Cat Day was established in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. It is a great opportunity to take some time out to connect with our feline friends, commemorate the special bond between humans and cats, celebrate cats for the love of cats and above all else advocate for the wellbeing and safety of cats locally and worldwide. Each of our clinics and hospitals have adoption schemes, subject to availability and animal suitability. And a timely reminder to that if you are a cat owner to make sure you have invested in their safety by having him or her microchipped and their health is maintained by having them desexed and their teeth fully checked. A healthy cat is a happy cat!

04.01.2022 We are currently having some electrical work done at the clinic. If you have an emergency please come straight down otherwise contact the Southern Animal Hospital on 8382 3666 and they will be able to assist until we have power again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

02.01.2022 Southern Vet Group were one of the first in South Australia to install a CT scanner. There is a good reason it looks just the same as one you may find in a human hospital, it is because it is! Computed Tomography Scans are used for diagnosing a variety of health concerns for your pet. Patients from our veterinary clinics can be transferred or referred within our own network. However, we also welcome referrals from our friends and colleagues across the veterinary system, p...articularly our neighbouring practices in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, to ease the need for longer trips for owners and pets with a fast, friendly, and professional service. Please call Southern Animal Hospital during opening hours on 8382 3666 for further details. Check out our video featuring Bentley and his visit to the clinic, the amazing images the scanner produces and how a diagnosis can be made.
