⭐ Hazel the Hero ⭐

This young family were out in their garden when their kelpie Hazel noticed a brown snake slithered towards her 3 year old owner, brave Hazel leapt into action, dragging the snake away from the little girl.

Unfortunately during the commotion the snake managed to bite Hazel and the owners other dog Wombat.

Their owners rushed Hazel and Wombat into our clinic as they had both suffered snake envenomation.

Unfortunately Wombat presented in critical condition, succumbed to the after-effects of the venom, too severe to recover, and didn't survive.

Hazel received emergency treatment including anti-venom, IV fluids, pain relief, plus various other medications.

Hazel spent 2 days in hospital before returning home to her family to continue her recovery.
Mourning the loss of poor Wombat, but also grateful to have Hazel home again. 💕

Our thoughts are with Hazel & Wombat's family during this time.

🩵🐶 Moomoo's Story 🐶🩵

We'd like to share a devastating and heartbreaking story that took place a few weeks ago...

On Saturday 8th February 2025 a family was in a serious car accident in Castlemaine.

Inside the car at the time were their two beloved dogs, Moomoo & Stretch.

Emergency services and SES volunteers were called to the scene and had to extricate Moomoo & Stretch (the two dogs) from the car, as well as their owners who were then rushed to hospital in an ambulance.

Moomoo had suffered a fractured fore-leg and lacerated artery, haemorrhaging from his leg, the SES and paramedics were able to control the bleeding before Moomoo & Stretch were rushed into our clinic by kind members of the public.

Tragically, Stretch's injuries were too severe to recover from and she had to be euthanased to end her suffering.

Moomoo presented to our clinic in shock, he had suffered a fracture to his radius and ulna (fore leg) requiring emergency surgery.

Moomoo underwent surgery and spent 6 days in our hospital before returning home to his owners to continue his road to recovery.

Moments like this remind us how precious life can be.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who were impacted by this tragedy.

Moomoo's owners have arranged a 'GoFundMe' to raise money towards Moomoo's vet and recovery costs, as well as towards support for the family.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all owners to ensure that their pets are restrained when travelling in the car via a tether, carrier or cage.

A quick blood test revealed that Chester had been bitten by the snake and was experiencing snake envenomation.

Chester received emergency treatment including antivenom, IV fluids, pain relief, plus various other medications.

Brave Chester spent 3 days in hospital with us receiving treatment, before returning home to his family to continue his recovery.

🎣🐢 The Dangers of Fish Hooks 🐢🎣

We've posted in the past about the dangers of fish hooks around pets, however we haven't mentioned the dangers to our wildlife.

Turtles are some of the most resilient creatures on Earth, but they still face many dangers, some of which are caused by human activities.
One of the most troubling issues is fish hooks!

Whether the hook is swallowed, or gets lodged into the turtle's skin or throat, it can lead to severe injuries or even death if not addressed.

We have many turtles brought into our clinic with fishing hooks lodged / stuck in them and they have to undergo general anaesthetics to have them removed.

If you go fishing, please properly dispose of your fishing gear and be mindful not to leave hooks behind.
If you are fishing and accidentally hook a turtle, please leave the fishing line long to make removal easier.

If you spot a turtle with a hook stuck in it, please carefully transport the turtle to your nearest vet clinic, or contact a local wildlife rescue service.

By taking these steps we can help to reduce the number of turtles injured by discarded fishing gear.

This time of year with the summer heat and humid weather we tend to see lots of dogs developing hotspots.

Hotspots (aka Pyotraumatic Dermatitis) are a common disorder of canine skin and are typically secondary to an underlying disease.

Hotspots are associated with an overgrowth of normal bacteria on the skin’s surface.

The most common clinical signs associated with hot spots include inflammation, pain, itching / irritation and swelling.

Some underlying causes for these bacterial infections can include (but are not limited to):
Allergies, parasitic infestations and hormonal issues.

Pyohex Medicated Shampoo is an aid in the treatment of superficial bacterial skin infections in dogs.

If you would like more information about Pyohex you can visit the Dermcare website: https://dermcare.com.au/products/pyohex/

If you are concerned that your dog may be experiencing hotspots, please call us on (03)5443 7749 to arrange a Vet consultation.

🩵 Luna's story 🩵

Luna the 5 year old Weirmaraner presented to our clinic last week with a distended abdomen.

She was experiencing Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus (GDV) (commonly referred to as 'bloat').
A life-threatening condition most commonly seen in large, deep chested dogs, however can also occur in smaller dogs and uncommonly cats.

The condition occurs when the stomach fills with gas, causing a gastric dilatation (bloat). A GDV refers to when this bloated gas-filled stomach twists upon itself, resulting in both the stomach entrance and exit becoming blocked.

Luna underwent emergency surgery and once in surgery it was found that she was also experiencing Liver Lobe Torsion.
One of her liver lobes had also twisted upon itself.

Luna's stomach was returned to it's normal position and a lobectomy was performed to remove the damaged liver lobe.

*Video in the comments of Luna's adorable tail wags post surgery*

Brave Luna has since returned home and is recovering well 💕
