Someone was feeling a bit sorry for herself... 🤕

Alexa, the sheepdog pug, was brought to our Golden Grove clinic over the weekend with a suspected sore paw. After some X-rays, we discovered that her metatarsals were fractured (in her terms, her whole paw was broken 😔). Thankfully, her fractures can be managed without surgery. Instead, she will need strict rest, splinted bandaging, and a few vet visits in the coming weeks.

The best part of Miss Alexa's story is her occupation; her owner mentioned that this injury will put her out of commission because she is one of his best up-and-coming sheepdogs. Yes, you read that correctly—Alexa is a sheepdog and loves spending her days running around the farm with her owner. I suppose you can never judge a dog by its size! 🐑

Nurse Sarah could not wait for cuddles from Sonny who came in for a post-operative check up at Cottage Grove Vets4Pets. Thankfully, Sonnys wound is healing well and is on a good road to recovery 🥰

Have you ever wondered what faces your pet makes immediately after waking up from surgery? 😂 Sparco was in recently at Northgate Vets4Pets for 2 procedures, a lump removal and cruciate surgery. We can confirm this was recovery face after both surgeries. 😋 He was the sweetest boy throughout the day and was super brave for all his examinations carried out by the nurses and Dr. Nigel. We wish him a very speedy recovery and can't wait to see him back for rehabilitation in the under water treadmill! 💦

"If it fits, I sits." - Henry the GSD. 🐻

Henry's Story:
Nurse Kaithlyn first met Henry in February of last year. Hydrotherapy was recommended as his last resort treatment before the amputation of his right hind leg. Henry, being his adventurous self, thought he could take on a car, which unfortunately led to him needing cruciate surgery that he never fully recovered from. 🤕

Post-surgery, Henry experienced a few complications that resulted in very limited use of his right hind leg. During his first hydrotherapy sessions, he wasn't the biggest fan of being dried or touched at all. However, Henry's owner remained committed and made sure he attended hydrotherapy sessions every week without fail. Gradually, Henry began to trust the team around him. 🥰

Fast forward to now: Henry has regained full use of his hind leg and continues hydrotherapy every two weeks. He also enjoys being dried after sessions and loves using Nurse Kaithlyn as a drying towel and a seat! 😂

The hydrotherapy team is so proud of how far he has come! 💙

🧐 “Is this where I'll be having surgery?" - Inspector Peggy 🔍
Peggy quickly inspected where her surgery would be done to ensure it was up to her safety standards before surgery. She gave her full approval and was brave throughout her stay for the Team at Cottage Grove Vets4Pets. 💙

Rex is a German Shepherd puppy who came to Northgate for his check-up and vaccinations at 10 and 12 weeks of age. Can you spot the difference between the photos? Although he hasn't yet grown into his long legs and oversized puppy paws, his ears have become floppier over the weeks! 😂 We can't wait to see him in the next couple of months as he grows into a big, handsome boy. The nurses at Northgate will miss being able to pick him up for a good cuddle! 🥰

Wildlife season for Nurse Sarah and the team at Cottage Grove Vets4Pets! 🦔🪺

Nurse Sarah and Indi cared for a female baby ringtail possum that was brought into the clinic by a member of the public. This little one was placed into the care of an educated carer and has been reported to be doing very well and released into her natural habitat. Nurse Sarah also got to look after and care for a Kookaburra which was brought in, a wildlife carer has now taken over the care and hopefully will be able to be released back into the wild.
Dr Li didn't want to miss out on the fun and can be seen holding another baby ringtail possum that was cared for by the Nurses and will be going into wildlife carer care until it can be released.

How amazing is this team! 🥰

Don't spend your holidays at an emergency vet! Deck the paws safely! ❌ Comment below if you have any holiday pet safety tips!!! Most of the pet owners we speak to always mention how we don't train pets, they train us... or how we have to change our way of living for our fur babies. The holiday season is a prime example of how we have to adapt our festivities to make sure it is a safe for our fur friends. 😂 #christmaspetsafety #deckthepawssafely

Grass seed season

A recent burst of warmer weather signalled the end of what felt like a long and wet winter, and so we ready ourselves for a hot summer. 🥵☀️ With the drier weather come grass seeds; our first grass seed case was a couple of weeks ago, and has been followed by an avalanche of similar cases. The problem seeds measure around 1-2cm, with a sharp point at one end and a flared brush at the other, ensuring that they can burrow into the coat and skin with surprising ease and speed. We retrieve them from many places, but mainly ears and feet, with eyes, noses and other equally uncomfortable spots also presenting. Often we need to sedate a patient to remove the offending seed, so prevention is certainly easier than cure. Vigilance after a walk is the best bet: check your dog’s feet and ears for any grass seeds on the surface, and remove them before they dig deeper. And have any sore spots checked out promptly; they may be harbouring an unwanted hitchhiker!

1 in 2 cats are overweight

Today is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, your reminder to schedule an annual checkup for your cat. 1 in 2 cats are overweight or obese. Is this your cat? Veterinarians are trained to spot even the slightest signs of illness or disease in cats. Yearly appointments are key to early detection and getting your cat the best possible care. Call your veterinary practice to schedule an appointment. Take your cat to the vet because they can’t take themselves.
