22.01.2022 If you receive a reminder for vaccination for your pet whilst we are closed (30th Nov-14th Dec) do not stress, we arrange for reminders to be sent out a little early so you can book an appointment once we re-open.

18.01.2022 The YFV colours are starting to go up! So who’s as excited as us to see the new building complete?

16.01.2022 Last chance this morning to order!! Please call before lunch time to ensure you don’t miss out.

15.01.2022 Following on from last night, tonight we are looking at Feline Immunodeficiency Virus commonly just referred to as the abbreviated FIV. FIV is a virus spread between cats by fighting that results in the cat becoming unable to protect itself from infections (similar to human aids). These viruses are from the same family but don’t spread from human to cat or cat to human. Spring is a great time to get cats desexed, to have them tested to ensure they don’t have FIV and to vaccinate to protect them in the future. We see FIV infections in cats throughout the Wimmera frequently and strongly recommend any cat that has outside access is protected by vaccination for both Cat flu and FIV.

10.01.2022 Today you will see the team in our grey Flynn’s walk tops as we continue to raise awareness for mental health in the vet industry and we are also farewelling Cassie who is off to a clinic in Geelong! Cassie we will miss your constant bright bubbly personality. You never fail to make us all laugh. You will be greatly missed by staff and customers alike. All the best!!

05.01.2022 Closure Reminder - Please share! Due to renovations Your Family Vet will be closed 30th November to 14th Dec. Please check your medication supply as well as special foods, supplements etc. as these may not be available from Horsham Veterinary Hospital. Thursday morning (26th) is the last opportunity to order supplies. Please call on 53811996 to order.

03.01.2022 During Spring we see many female cats coming into season. A consequence of this, (aside from pregnant cats!) is the likelihood of cat fights, especially between entire male cats but also with desexed cats trying to protect their territories from wandering entire males searching out females on heat. There are 2 very significant disease processes that occur from cat fights - Abscesses - FIV... Tonight we’ll have a quick look at abscesses then come back tomorrow for a look at why to protect your cat against FIV. Abscesses Abscesses occur when infection forms under the skin or deep in the muscle as a result of injuries caused by bite wounds or scratches from other cats. Whilst generally abscesses are relatively easily cured by surgically opening and washing out the abscess, they can be so severe that the cat can die as a result of generalised toxaemia, although this is rare.

01.01.2022 Reminder: Your Family Vet will be closed Tuesday 3rd November for Melbourne Cup Public Holiday. Please make sure you have enough food and medication to get through this closure date.
