What does everyone think of the new vet trailer! 🚑👩🏻‍⚕️ This trailer is designed to mimic a veterinary clinic out on the road containing small animal scales, vaccination fridge, wash down sink, medicine dispensary and mini office!

Would any one be interested in a video tour of inside once it’s all done?! 👀

Probably one of the best parts of the job 😍 Lassie needed a little help whelping, so Dr Eden helped deliver her litter in March. Fast forward 6 weeks and this morning she got to show off her 11 beautiful babies 🥹 💛

Yesterday Dr Eden did a first-aid talk with a lovely group of young school children at the Glencoe Community Centre - discussing the 5 most common pet emergencies ⛑️ Nurse Sage let some of the children practice bandaging and how to safely protect seizuring dogs 🐶 Thankyou GLENRAC for a beautiful morning!

Nurse Sage decided to come for a drive with Dr Eden to a couple of rural properties yesterday. Here she is looking after (a very sedated) Bowie 💉

NB: it is very difficult to get two animals looking at the camera and stand still at the one time 🤣

It’s a warm one! 🔥 ☀️ Dr Eden’s dog Sage loves swimming in the creek to stay cool! 🐶 💦 Here are some things you can do to help prevent heat stress in your animals:

🔹 Make sure they have access to shade

🔹 Place any water troughs or bowls in the shade if possible, as most animals don’t like drinking warm water that has been sitting out in the sun, which then causes them to become dehydrated

🔹 Clip long haired dogs and avoid anything more than a light fly rug on horses

🔹 Ensure they are kept in a well ventilated area (particularly relevant for dogs as they use evaporative cooling through panting to help thermoregulate which relies on cool air flow)

🔹 Avoid excercising them in the middle of the day and opt for times before 8am and after 6pm if possible - this also prevents dogs foot pads from burning on hot footpaths or roads

🔹 Try offering frozen treats! It’s a great way to both keep their minds occupied and cool them down at the same time!

“Prince Caspian” enjoying a nap after his gelding this morning, completely oblivious to the fact he is now two stones lighter… 🫣🐴 Who’s going to tell him 😅

“Muuuuum, the vet’s here!” 😂

This week has been full of puppy litters! There’s nothing more convenient than getting it done in you’re own backyard! These Kelpie x Collie pups were absolutely adorable this morning, and are now all ready to find their new homes 🏡 🐶 🤎

Meet Rupert the ram, isn’t he handsome! 😍🐏 He decided to gorge on a little too much bread and was starting to develop a very severe rumen bloat, however, because his owners phoned the vet quickly he made a full recovery and is now back to his normal happy self 🍞🙈

With most of Armidale covered in smoke this morning, here is a very good article on how to prepare for a bushfire with horses. The NSW Rural Fire Service has the two closest fires at Hillgrove and Guyra under control, but with these winds it's always best to be cautious. Stay safe 💨🔥

If you own horses, it's vitally important to have a bushfire action plan that ensures both you and your beloved horses have the best chance of staying safe.

Lets talk a**l glands... 🤢💩

These two BEAUTIFUL Labradors, Luna & Banjo needed theirs expressed today, as do a lot of dogs. Did you know that there are some things we can do to help them express naturally, reducing the need for regular (and often uncomfortable) vet visits? 🐶

A**l glands are two sacs that sit just before the re**al opening. Traditionally they are expressed as the dog defecates and faecal matter presses against them, however if your dogs stools are soft this process may not happen. Ways to firm up your dogs stools include:

🦴 Increasing the dry component of their diet (e.g. kibble)
🦴 Increasing soluble fibre
🦴 Limiting fatty foods
🦴 Discuss a probiotic course with your vet to aid with overall digestion

It is worth noting that there a multiple other reasons why a dogs glands may get blocked that are unrelated to faecal consistency like tumours, conformational abnormalities and infections, so its always worth getting them examined by a veterinarian if this is a reoccurring problem for your pet.
