🚨 Attention: Pet rabbit owners in the Peaceful Bay area and surrounds 🚨

The best protection for your pet rabbits against the virus is annual vaccination, environmental barriers against wild rabbits and flies potentially carrying the virus, and regular cleaning and disinfection of their enclosure.

Unfortunately, pet rabbits infected with Calicivirus have a high mortality rate so prevention is key. Signs of infection include lethargy and fever.

Please call our team if you have any questions about keeping your pets safe.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Calicivirus Release

A strain of the Calicivirus is being released in the Peaceful Bay region as a control for feral rabbits. Please refer to this resource from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for more information.

A new face around the clinic! 🌞

You may have seen or heard from Georgia, our new vet nurse, in the past month! Georgia is a newly qualified vet nurse who grew up in the area and moved back to Denmark in 2022 with her husband to study and work. She has a 3 year-old Spoodle named Mallee who loves to go for walks on the beach.

Along with nursing, Georgia has been learning all she can from Tania our groomer before she retired, and will be taking over grooming your pets on a Thursday.

She has a keen interest in wildlife rehabilitation and looks forward to meeting all of our lovely clients and their pets. Welcome Georgia! 👋

Does your pet's flea and tick treatment last for ONE or THREE months? 🦟🧐

Providing year-round preventative parasite treatment to your pets is important to stop the spread of disease in animals and humans, and help prevent infestations of fleas, ticks, and worms which can negatively impact your pet's health.

There are many options of brands and products available, with different levels of parasite control. These most commonly come in the form of an oral chew, spot-on treatment. Importantly, some treatments must be repeated monthly, whilst others require a dose every three months. This will be stated on the packaging of your treatment and in the dosage instruction guide.

For the most effective prevention and treatment of parasites in your pets, make sure you are giving the treatment at the correct intervals and that all pets in your household are treated.

If you have questions about parasite treatment and prevention for your pet give our team a call or visit the clinic

Thanks for all of your hard work Tania 👏👏👏

Yesterday was the last day for our very talented groomer Tania, who is hanging up her clippers and retiring after many years with the team! We will definitely miss Tania's talents in handling all types of dogs, and passion for dog training, which made her an invaluable part of the team.

We wish Tania the best in her retirement and hope there are many cycling and swing dance trips in her future, as well as spending time with her family and friends.

We will be continuing to perform grooming services for your pets on Thursdays with Georgia and other members of our team ✂

Have you come across a baby bird on the ground and unsure if you need to help it? 🐦

Many young fledglings that appear helpless may be under the watchful eye of their parents and simply learning their way in the world, including flying and finding food. A fledging bird has the best chance of survival when under the care of parents.

Please do not rescue a baby bird if they are not visibly sick or injured, or in immediate danger.

Here's how you can help!
1. Observe the chick from a distance for 5 to 10 minutes, and if you observe the following, they may need your help;
- They have little to no feathers
- They are injured or have been attacked by a cat or dog
- They are cold and lethargic
- There are no parents around and cannot be reunited with their parents
- There are deceased parents nearby

2. If the fledgling is in immediate danger on the ground but there are parents around, you can create a temporary nest using a plastic bucket or ice-cream container
- Ensure the container's walls are high enough that the bird won't fall out
- Poke a couple of holes in the bottom of the container for drainage
- Place leaf litter or newspaper inside the container
- Secure the nest in a tree as high as possible, near to where the bird was found

3. If you believe the bird requires assistance call us on 9845 2245 for advice and we are happy to help out, assess the bird, and pass it onto a registered wildlife carer.

Under the Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2018, injured or abandoned native fauna must be rehabilitated by a licenced wildlife rehabilitator who can appropriately care for our native birds.

✨ Vet Nurse Day 2024! ✨

Thank you to all the amazing, hard-working vet nurses in our clinic and around Australia! Vet nurses wear many hats in a vet clinic, from answering calls and questions and scheduling visits to monitoring your pet during surgery and assisting the vet in performing their procedures.

Thank you so much to our vet nurses Nicky, Rosie, Tania and Georgia who give your pets the best possible care, love and attention during their stay with us! 🙌😻
