🐍 Snake season is here! Warmer weather = more snakes… and more pets with snake bites.
Snakes play an important role in our ecosystems and keep rodent populations under control but pet encounters should be minimised where possible. Here are some tips that may help.

👉 Keep pets safe:
✔️ Short grass & tidy yards
✔️ Block hiding spots
✔️ Supervise & leash walks
✔️ Urgent vet care if bitten

🚨 Snake bite? Call Helensburgh Vets
(4294 2508) or Austinmer Vets (4268 3353).

🐍 Need a snake moved? Illawarra Snake Catcher (0418 162 441) is great. Definitely save his phone number

September brought us lots of inedible surprises- most needing surgery however a few passed with vomits. It was always a surprise while operating wondering what we were going to find.

We had a dog that ate a chicken skewer, stick included, a cat that ate an anklet, a dog that ate squishy-mallow toys and a scrunchie and dogs that at a corn cob, some rocks and a pair of socks.
Yum! Yum! 🌽🧦🧸🎀💍

Here are some photos of the team looking after some of the patients, our finds and their procedures. 🚑

Howdy partners. We have some lost property found outside our clinic last week. Woody from Toy Story has been hanging out with reception but was found at the taxi stand. We also have an AirTag found outside our front door. If any of these are yours, please call Austinmer vets on 4268 3353 and we can reunite you 🧸

With Wednesday night being wet and windy, we had some extra wildlife yesterday requiring veterinary assistance.

Thankfully Dr Melissa was ready for the job although Betty the ringtail baby decided to help, grabbing hold of the stethoscope during her check up. 😍
