25.01.2022 Spring has sprung and just like us our pets experience seasonal allergies, unlike us, whose allergies usually involve the respiratory tract, dogs and cats allergies usually take the form of skin irritation and inflammation. If you notice your pet scratching or think your furry friend may be experiencing skin allergies, then give our clinic a call to make an appointment on 0260712594



25.01.2022 This litter of ten beautiful Labrador pups came in for their first vaccinations and microchipping, before curling up in a corner for snooze.

25.01.2022 Little Arrow was born early Wednesday morning. His mum was a first time mother who needed some reassurance to stand and let Arrow feed. Both mare and foal were checked over by Dr Lauren and a blood test was taken from Arrow today to make sure he got enough colostrum and therefore immunity from mum.

24.01.2022 Oh dear, another power outage for the year. If you have an appointment with us or need to get in touch today please call the Kiewa Clinic on (02) 6027 3221 or 0418477430. Hopefully we are back up and running soon.



23.01.2022 Miss Lettie receiving some much needed post op cuddles after her desexing surgery.

23.01.2022 Found: female cattle dog on the corner or Goddes Rd , Tallandoon. Friendly, no tags. Please contact the clinic for more information

23.01.2022 This beautiful girl is Nimble, she is a 3-year-old Golden Retriever and belongs to Viv one of our nurses here at Tallangatta. Nimble had been intermittently lame and was diagnosed with bilateral elbow dysplasia. Being such a young dog, Viv opted to have a mobile surgeon perform an arthroscope here at the clinic where they used a tiny camera to view the internal joint and debride back the arthritic fragments that had developed in the joints causing her pain. Nimble is now recovering here at the clinic.



23.01.2022 Dr Lauren delivered this calf alive after it presented backward. You can tell this cow has done this before, she was mothering the calf straight away and very insistent at the calf to stand and drink.

23.01.2022 Back up and running as normal- thanks for your patience patients!!

22.01.2022 Power is out at tallangatta and Kiewa clinics- so call the mobile 0418477430 and bear with us. Sorry everyone!

22.01.2022 Dr Lauren did a caesarean last week on this heifer and delivered an alive calf. The calf was up and feeding before shed finished stitching mum back up. Both are doing well. The calf was just too big. The surgical clip and incision are on the other side so unfortunately, we cant see the vets handiwork but this heifer is a great first-time mum

21.01.2022 Dr Lauren vaccinated these beautiful Dachshund pups Maya and Murphy, last week. Their owner now has seven of these little cuties, ranging in age from 14 weeks to 17 years!



21.01.2022 POWER OUTAGE- The Tallangatta Clinic’s power is down again. Please contact us on 0418477430 or the Kiewa Clinic on 02 6027 3221. Hopefully this is resolved soon

21.01.2022 This guy has been handed in to the Kiewa vet clinic. Found on Ben Valley Lane, Yackandandah. If he is yours or you know who he may belong to, please give us a call on 02)60273221.

20.01.2022 Oh dear-phone lines at Tallangatta Clinic are down again. Please call 0418477430

20.01.2022 Anesthesia in brachycephalic patients ( dogs and cats with shorter snouts and broader skulls than typical ) such as this English Bulldog Harry, are more challenging surgical candidates for vets than other breeds . These breeds are predisposed to several conditions due to their confirmation, such as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome and gastro-oesophageal reflux, that can have implications for anaesthetic management and carry a high risk for complications. This means some extra planning is involved for our surgical team. Below is Harry enjoying some oxygen via his ET tube while recovering post anesthetic after his castration.

20.01.2022 A cat shelter in Chicago has a Cats at Work program that places cats they cant re-home in commercial settings to provide environmentally friendly rodent control. At one brewery, the cats get to roam around the warehouse naturally controlling the rats and workers benefit from sharing their space with the felines, resulting in an arrangement that benefits all.

20.01.2022 The warmer weather has arrived and with it brings the beginning of snake bite season. Generally, around this area, we see Tiger, Brown, Black snakes and the occasional Copperhead. Luckily we have a multi antivenom so identifying the type of snake is not important as this can often be difficult considering they can look so alike. These snakes produce four main toxins being: * Neurotoxins - these act on the nerves to paralyse prey *Myotoxins - Destroy muscles tissue to help dig...est prey *Procoagulants - Alters the clotting abilities of the blood *Nephrotoxins - Acts to destroy kidney tissue The clinical signs we typically see include: * Vomiting *Breathing difficulties *Anxiousness *Collapse * Paralysis *Convulsions *Dilated pupils Each patient presents differently and may or may not show all or any of the above signs. If there is any evidence of your pet having encountered a snake, there is a possibility of a snake bite and we recommend you call the clinic on 02 6071 2594

15.01.2022 If you find a juvenile bird on the ground this spring, please refer to the flowchart below that Wildlife Victoria has created to hep determine the best course of action. It is normal in many instances, for fledglings to be outside of their nests while learning to fly..

15.01.2022 With the current hot weather conditions we need to be aware of the signs of heatstroke in our pets. Heat stroke is an emergency that requires immediate owner intervention and medical treatment. Symptoms include: Excessive panting Bright red gums and tongue Weakness Vomitting... Collapse If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, please contact the clinic immediately. ** it is important that you dont use ice or ice water to cool down a pet suffering from heat stroke ** Prevention: As always, prevention is better than cure! There are quite a few things that can be done to prevent heat stroke in dogs, for example: Do not leave your dog in a car, especially on a hot summer day. Do not allow intensive exercise on a hot summer day. Encourage your dog to drink plenty of water during breaks. Outdoor dogs should have their resting place in a shady area to avoid the heat from the sun, and should have access to fresh water at all times. Dogs with respiratory disorders and heart conditions should be kept indoors with the fan or air-conditioner on during the hottest time of the day. See more

15.01.2022 Meet Tango and Bella our two surgical patients, recovering in hospital postoperatively. They both had TPLO ( Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) cruciate ligament surgeries yesterday with referral orthopaedic surgeon Dr Luke Ellis. Dr Luke travels from Geelong to undergo orthopaedic surgeries alongside our vets here at the Tallangatta clinic. This means our clients can have surgeries performed on their pets locally and can have follow up appointments with their regular vet, which eliminates travel to and from the city or locations which might otherwise be required.

14.01.2022 Our clients are always encouraged to bring their pets down for a free dental check with one of our nurses, we can discuss with you the best ways to keep your pets mouth healthy. Just give one of our clinics a call in advance so we can make an appointment for you. Otherwise, heres how you can check your pets teeth at home

13.01.2022 Its grass seed season again and these pointy little things can be a nightmare for our pets. The very pointed end on a grass seed means it can easily become embedded in your pets skin, commonly in the paws, under the tail, armpit or groin region. The ears are also very susceptible to collecting grass seeds, and also the eyes, as the dogs rub their faces in the grass.This is because grass seeds can migrate through the body, tracking infection as they go. Dogs may also inhale... a grass seed, with it lodging in the lungs and causing a severe chest infection. The body cannot generally break down a grass seed, so wherever it lands, it will eventually require removal. The best way to prevent grass seeds is to find them by checking your dog (and cat) regularly and remove them as quickly as possible when they are close to the surface and easily accessible. If you suspect a grass seed is lodged too deeply, then it is best to have it assessed by a vet straight away. Delaying this visit may result in more invasive surgeries to find and remove the seed. Most dogs will at least need to be sedated to find and remove grass seeds. PREVENTION IS THE BEST CURE 1) Regular (DAILY) checking of your dog all over, including in between each and every toe, and especially after a walk 2) Avoid long grass on walks, and keep your grass and weeds short at home 3) Keep long-haired dogs trimmed or clipped, and well groomed, especially around their feet and ears. 4) Seek veterinary attention immediately if you suspect a grass seed problem in any location on your dog. Many times your pet will need to be sedated to ensure safe grass seed removal, so please be understanding of this.
