💡 New Service at Eureka Vet Clinic — Therapeutic Laser Therapy!

We’re excited to share that our Class IV therapeutic laser has arrived and is now up and running at Eureka Vet Clinic! 🎉

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that uses light energy to
✨ reduce inflammation
✨ relieve pain
✨ improve circulation
✨ speed up healing

It’s ideal for pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or those living with arthritis and joint pain.

🦴 Common uses include
🐾 Post-surgical healing
🐾 Arthritis and mobility support
🐾 Muscle or joint injuries
🐾 Wound and skin healing
🐾 Ear and dental inflammation

Our vets can now recommend laser therapy as part of tailored treatment plans.

🐾 Meet Akira
Akira recently started laser therapy after a cruciate ligament injury in her back leg. After just a few short sessions, her owners have already noticed an improvement in her comfort and mobility — a great early result from this gentle, drug-free treatment. 💙

💙 Helping pets heal faster, feel better, and move easier — with light!

Why do we weigh pets every single visit – even when they look healthy?

Meet Orla 🐾 She visited us recently with some mild allergy symptoms — a bit of sneezing and scabbing on her nose — and was an absolute star on the scales 💚

We always start with a weigh-in, no matter the reason for the visit. Here’s why it matters:
• Even small weight changes can signal shifts in health
• Accurate weights are essential for safe medication dosing
• Gaining or losing weight could point to early signs of illness, joint pain, or dietary imbalances
• It helps us monitor trends over time to catch issues early

In Orla’s case, having her correct weight meant we could give the right doses for the medications she needed.

📏 So next time your pup gets weighed, know it’s more than routine — it’s part of our whole-health approach.

💚 Found Bird – Do You Know His Family?

A lovely little Kakariki (a New Zealand native parrot) was brought in to Wendouree Veterinary Clinic yesterday. He’s now safe and being lovingly cared for by one of our wonderful nurses.

He looks to be a much-loved pet or aviary bird, and we’re hoping to reunite him with his people.

If you think you might know where he belongs, please get in touch with the team at Eureka Vets.

A vaccination, a nail trim, and a very good boy—Zeus nailed his visit 🐾

This sweet little guy came in to see Dr Di for his routine C4 vaccination and a tidy-up of those nails—and handled it all like a pro 🐶

His health check was all clear (just a little tartar on those upper molars), so he was good to go for his C4 vaccine 💉

This protects against:
🦠 Parvovirus
🫁 Canine Infectious Hepatitis
🤒 Distemper
😮‍💨 Canine Cough
🌬️ Parainfluenza

Vaccination visits like Zeus’s aren’t just about jabs—they’re a chance to check in on your pet’s health, pick up on early signs of change, and keep them feeling their best ✨

🎁 A simple box. A big difference.

Once again, we're proud to support the Reverse Advent Calendar—a beautiful local initiative helping bring some extra comfort to those in our Ballarat community doing it tough this Christmas. 💛

Here’s how to get involved:
📦 Pop in and collect your Reverse Advent Calendar box from the clinic (a gold coin donation is appreciated to help cover the cost of the boxes)

Every filled box goes to someone in need right here in our region. Together, we can make the season a little brighter—one box at a time.

📍 Boxes are available now at Eureka Veterinary Clinic during opening hours.

Odis came dressed as a monster, Karma roared in as a lion — and we couldn't love their Halloween spirit more 🎃🧡

While costumes can be a bit of fun, Halloween night can also bring challenges for pets — especially with more decorations, trick-or-treaters and street noise around than ever before.

Even confident dogs can become overwhelmed by:
🔸 Strange costumes and movement
🔸 Loud knocks or doorbells
🔸 Sweets and chocolate within reach
🔸 Excited kids coming and going

Here’s how to help your dog have a stress-free Halloween:
🐾 Create a quiet, secure space away from the door
🎶 Leave music or TV on to help mask outside noise
🚪 Close blinds and curtains to block visual triggers
🛑 Place a friendly sign on your gate, door or letterbox if you’d prefer no visitors
🔕 Disconnect your doorbell or monitor for knocks
🍬 Keep sweets out of reach — chocolate and xylitol are toxic to pets
🎾 Offer a chew, stuffed Kong or enrichment toy to keep them occupied
👧🐶 Supervise dogs and kids — costumes can confuse even the friendliest pets

💡 Trick-or-treaters: If you see or hear a dog, it’s best to wait for the owner or skip that house.

Let’s make Halloween fun and safe for everyone — including our four-legged monsters and lions.

The game has changed for FIP. Reuben’s proof. 🐾

For many years, a diagnosis of FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) was considered a death sentence. There were no effective treatments, and few options for cats and their families.

Reuben was adopted through Ballarat Cat Lovers as an older FIV-positive cat. He settled into his new home beautifully—until he began to show signs of being unwell. When he was diagnosed with FIP, it was devastating.

But this time, there was hope.

With the help of antiviral treatment and dedicated care, Reuben responded. 💛

Over 12 months later, he’s still here. Still purring. Still loved. 🐱

Reuben’s story is one of resilience, but also of progress—because veterinary medicine doesn’t stand still. And every breakthrough makes stories like this possible.

Found a baby magpie? 🐣 Not all of them need rescuing!

It’s magpie fledgling season, and every year we see lots of little ones brought in who are actually just learning to fly 🐦

This brilliant chart by makes it easier to know when to step in — and when to let nature take the lead ✨ Most young magpies on the ground aren’t abandoned… they’re just finding their wings!

✅ Check the chart
🚫 Don’t panic
👀 Stay nearby and watch if you’re unsure

Please only bring wildlife to the clinic if they’re clearly injured or in immediate danger. Otherwise, a little time and space might be all they need 💛

📌 Save or share this post to help others this magpie season
📞 And if you’re unsure, feel free to give us a call before bringing wildlife in

He didn’t show any signs of pain — but look what we found on his x-rays 🩻🐾

Ozzie came in for a dental procedure and, like many cats, seemed perfectly fine at home. No drooling, no changes in appetite, no obvious signs something was wrong.

But beneath the surface, x-rays revealed two painful resorptive lesions — a common condition in cats where the tooth starts to break down from the inside out.

During his dental, we:

🩻 took full-mouth dental x-rays
🪥 scaled and polished all his teeth
🦷 surgically removed two damaged teeth
🧵 carefully sutured the sites for healing

The rest of his mouth was given a thorough clean — and by the time he was in recovery, Ozzie was happily munching on chicken like a champ 😹

He’s now home, feeling much more comfortable, and will be back for a quick post-op check in two weeks.

Cats are experts at hiding pain — so even if they seem fine, dental disease can still be lurking. If your cat hasn’t had a dental check recently, we’d love to help.
