24.01.2022 Baby Birds Do you know what to do if you find a baby bird? Here are a few helpful tips that can assist you if you ever do find one. Baby birds are often found on the ground during their initial days after leaving their nest. Often caring by-standers think that these babies are injured or require assistance, and therefore come to the rescue and bring them to a Vet. However, these babies are still learning how to fly and it is actually best to leave them alone to allow the...m to be reunited with their family. If the baby bird is obviously sick or injured, then human help may be required. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine if the baby requires veterinary attention: 1. Does the baby bird have feathers? If they do not, they are unable to keep themselves warm and then require human help. 2. Is the baby bird calling or making noise? 3. Is the baby bird bright and responsive? 4. Can the baby bird perch on your finger? 5. Can the baby bird spread its wings evenly when encouraged? 6. Is the baby bird in a safe area (i.e. under a tree and not on a busy road) If you can answer YES to the last 5 questions, then the baby bird should be left alone to reunite with its family. If you answered NO to any of these questions, the baby bird requires Veterinary attention. Bush Turkey’s however are never lost or orphaned as they stop receiving parental care after hatching. These babies need to be left alone to disperse by themselves. The only exception is if they are clearly sick or injured. Please remember to only handle baby birds if they appear sick or injured. Where can you get help if you find a sick or injured bird? Give us a call on 3177 1299 or bring the sick or injured baby bird into the clinic for our staff to care for them.

08.01.2022 Patient of the Week Meet Oliver, who has been feeling unwell lately. He has received lots of fluids to help him feel better. He also had an ultrasound to see if we could find why he wasn't feeling too great. As you can see, he has also been receiving plenty of TLC from Dr. Emma. Hope you get well soon Oliver

07.01.2022 Patient of the Week Meet Lexi who paid us a visit this week for her vaccinations. Lexi is a rescue dog who was adopted by her new family. Adopting from a rescue group or shelter is a great way to welcome a new fury friend to your family. Nearly 56,000 animals find their way into an RSPCA centre in Queensland each year. So, by adopting from a shelter, you are giving an animal another chance. They’ve either been lost, given up or abandoned. By adopting them, you’re giving... them a new lease on life by providing them a loving home. By doing this, you also help break the cruel puppy factory cycleyou can adopt puppies and kittens from shelters too! Another benefit of adopting is that your adoption fee goes back into helping care for many more animals. Adopting is not only good for finding younger animals like puppies and kittens, it is also great for finding animals that are no longer in those phases, saving you from puppy/kitten proofing your home. Adopting from a shelter is a great way to give oldies another chance. Most senior dogs and cats have very calm and relaxed personalities, this could be perfect for your living situation. As we head closer to Christmas, you may be considering adding another member to the family. Please consider adopting or rescuing your new fury friend, as we are very confident you will find a pet that suits your home perfectly.

05.01.2022 Reptile Awareness Day Today is a day dedicated to our Reptile friends. This day is not only created for reptile lovers, it also promotes the education, conservation and appreciation for all reptiles big and small. A reptile is any amniote that is neither a mammal nor a bird. They are cold blooded, have scales or scutes and they can lay eggs on land. Scutes are the thick bony plates which form the dermal layer of reptiles like turtles and crocodiles. ... There are over 10,000 species of reptiles in the world, 869 species being from Australia. Of those 869 species, 93% are unique to our continent. So today, make sure to take some time to appreciate your reptile friends and maybe even visit a reptile park or sanctuary to see how many reptiles you can spot! Post a photo of your reptile friends below to help us celebrate Reptile Appreciation Day!
