This lucky girl had an interesting few days. After going for a run she had a persistent increase in her respiratory rate.

On exam she was struggling a bit with poor lung sounds over the left chest. Ultrasound confirmed the lung was not against the chest wall, and the space was filled with air.

On xray we could not see an obvious reason and soon after this she decompensated suddenly and we began draining her chest of air. Except the air kept coming which meant she had a leak in her respiratory tract into her chest cavity creating a tension pneumothorax.

We were struggling to get on top of it so we moved to surgery to find the leak and we found a 3mm hole in one of the lung lobes. Even under ventilation we were struggling to inflate her left lungs well. Once we isolated and clamped off the area to resect, her lungs inflated and she stabilised so this was definitely the culprit!

We resected the lesion, which we suspect to be a ruptured bulla (pathology pending), which are kind of blisters on the lung that can spontaneously rupture.

Today she is much happier, stable off oxygen and looking good! Definitely a hairy case for a bit there, but an interesting one!

🐰 This lovely bun was recently in for desexing and here he is having his laser treatment post surgery.

The majority of patients (both big and small) receive laser treatment after undergoing surgery to assist with the healing process including our little exotic patients too!

FREE HEARTWORM TESTS with every Proheart SR12 injection on Saturday the 16th of November!

Did you know there has now been TWO dogs diagnosed locally with heartworm? We have traditionally been a very low-risk heartworm area but with positive dogs moving into the area they can pose a real infection risk to dogs without prevention.

Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and isn't covered with some topspots and intestinal wormers. It causes death by heart failure and even with successful treatment scarring of the heart can be permanent. One of the most convenient ways to cover your dog year-round is with a yearly Proheart SR12 injection.

So we're offering a FREE HEARTWORM TESTING DAY when people book in for a Proheart SR12 yearly heartworm injection on Saturday the 16th of November. In addition to this, Zoetis is kindly offering every dog who receives a Proheart injection on this day a FREE monthy flea and tick control AND a worming tablet.

If we fill up the day and can't take any more bookings we will look at putting on a second day for those who miss out. So give us a call on 6771 0200 and book your dog in for Heartworm protection!

At NEVS, we all truly care about our patients and always strive for high standards of care throughout their experience in clinic. Every pet is different and we understand this.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you leave your pet with us for a procedure? Read below and see how they are cared for from when you drop them off until pickup (even though this is only scratches the surface of what goes into the process)

🐶 Firstly, a nurse will go through the admission process with you - confirming their procedure and any special requirements they may have. They will then be taken to our treatment area by their admission nurse.
🐱 All details will then be passed onto the surgical nurse where a full vital check will be completed and recorded onto their chart.
🐶 If an IV catheter is required we will clip your some hair from their leg and apply some local anaesthetic. This makes the experience of placing the IV catheter a nicer, less painful experience. While the local anaesthetic takes effect, they are then placed into a warm soft bed.
🐱 If any pre-anaesthetic blood work is required bloods will then be taken and run. Depending on the blood results, pre-medication is given and a warm hot water bottle is provided to them to snuggle up to while this takes effect.
🐶 Depending on the pets procedure, an IV catheter is placed to deliver anaesthetic, IV fluids and pain relief during their surgery or procedure. They will then be anaesthetised and placed under a general anaesthetic with monitoring devices placed, allowing us to monitor all their vitals during the anaesthetic.
🐱 The area needed for surgery is then surgically clipped (to remain sterile and to visualise the area) and prepped with surgical scrub. They are then transferred to surgery where the final scrub is performed and all monitor placed.
🐶 A dedicated nurse is with your pet at all times and once the procedure is finished, a laser treatment is performed (in most cases) to promote and aid in the healing process.
🐱 All the monitoring equipment is removed and pain relief is given to your pet. They are then transferred back into their warm bed where a nurse is with them until they are awake and alert.
🐶 After the recovery process their IV catheter is removed with a small bandage applied to stop any bleeding (similar to us humans after a blood test).
🐱 While they wait for you to collect them - we provide puzzle toys such as kongs, take them out for a wee walk and provide tv/ radio entertainment for them.
🐶 Once you have arrived we will go through all aftercare required for their recovery, explain any medications and organise post op checks.

What happens behind the scenes? Here's a couple of examples...

We try to work with your pets to make experiences less stressful and easier for everyone for a successful outcome!

We really put importance on gentle handling and not using force so your pet has a better experience in what can be an unfamiliar environment.

It is never too late to create and implement dental homecare and preventatives for your pet!

🪥 🦷 The gold standard is daily toothbrushing and although this may sound overwhelming it doesn’t have to be!
It is ideal to start dental preventative care at an early age but it can be introduced at any age.

Some tips include -
🦷Set yourself up for a stress free routine by gently handling your pet. Don’t pin them down or forcefully hold their head.
🦷Begin by introducing a gentle facial massage on the outside of their muzzle.
🦷Once your pet is comfortable with the facial massage you can then move onto using swabs or a specialised soft finger toothbrush.
🦷Start with your pets front teeth and gradually move towards the back of the mouth as you both become more comfortable with toothbrushing.
🦷 Don’t pressure yourself or your pet to brush their whole mouth in one sitting. You can break up your toothbrushing sessions over the day.

80% of pets over the age of two are found to have periodontal disease so by becoming proactive rather than reactive is the key to preventing dental disease!

This sweet soul presented last week very unwell.

His stomach was very full but not tight, and his intestines were absolutely full of gas. Though he was not uncomfortable in the tummy we took xrays which gave us enough suspicion to go to surgery where we found a partially twisted stomach.

What made it even stranger was that this guy had evidence of chronic damage from pressure or dilation: a large portion was grey and dead.

His stomach was put back in a normal position, but unfortunately he lost about a third of it and was quite touch and go for a couple of days. But we are absolutely thrilled to report that a week on he is going strong and back home!

We all grew a little fond of him while he was in our care and were really happy to see him doing so well at his recheck today ❤️

Three cheers for Tank, who fought the odds and came out the other side 💪

We have had a black and white male cat brought in this morning who was hit by a car in Mann Street. Unfortunately he was deceased on arrival and does not have a microchip.
Please contact the clinic on Monday if he belongs to you or if you have any information.

Today we had a pupper who scavenged something from a creek bed while out for a walk, and ended up with fishing line protruding from the mouth.

Xrays showed no fish hook so we followed the line into the stomach with the scope and retrieved a bag with meat, presumably used for yabbying. And yes, it was sooooo smelly.

We're happy to report pupper is back home no worse for wear!

Please dispose of your fishing supplies safely when you're finished!!
