Dr Carl von Schreiber BVSc VetMFHom is one of the few vets in Australia qualified

in both conventional and homoeopathic veterinary medicine. Experienced in both country practice and modern veterinary hospital work, Dr Carl combines his unique expertise to provide holistic animal care in a caring supportive environment. At the clinic we place great importance on feeding animals as naturally as possible. This is key to giving your pet a healthy and invigorating life. Many of the now familiar chronic conditions we see at the clinic can be prevented, controlled or cured by diet. Dr Carl von Schreiber can advise on making your own diet, or supply natural diets. We care about your pet's comfort, so any procedure that would be painful is given multiple forms of pain relief, from our choice of premedications used, to the anti-inflammatory injections that can be given before surgery, the use of local anaesthetics, and homoeopathic treatment and pain relief after surgeries. This often results in your pets walking out of the surgery with as much ease, and often less pain than they came in with - and their tails wagging! Dental health is also vitally important. Many dogs and cats have chronic dental disease, which usually goes unrecognised, causing them chronic pain, and secondary bacterial infections throughout the body. At Bermagui Veterinary Clinic we carefully examine the mouths of all our patients, perform routine dental hygiene where tartar and gingivitis have started to appear, take dental xrays to check the health of the tooth roots and jaw bones, and perform surgical extractions where necessary.

Thank you Sylvia.

For many many years we have been very fortunate to have Sylvia Triffitt on board providing her exceptional skills in bookkeeping, guiding our financial duties with great care and precision.
Many of you may remember Sylvia and Pete as the friendly faces of Cobargo Post Office. In her "spare time" Sylvia helped us keep our accounts in order, her warm and caring manner making her part of our clinic family.
Moving away to Queensland, Sylvia continued to work with us from afar.
This year Sylvia has put away her calculators and retired.
We thank you dearest Sylvia for all your hard work and wish you all the best in your next adventures. BIG shoes to fill here.
We'll miss you.

We hope you and Pete come back to the valley and visit us soon.

Like many others we are very concerned about protecting our native birds.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu is different to the strain affecting eggs, but it has been decimating wildlife on every other continent on earth. Ecologists say it could arrive in Australia in spring.

Sometimes we have to let Nature take its course.

Early this morning Dr Carl alongside NPWS checked on a seal at Moorhead Beach who appeared unwell and lethargic.
Upon closer examination we discovered the seal was very underweight and partially paralysed. We suspect a boat impacted and damaged the spine.
And yet there was a remarkable determination and will to live.
While we were deliberating if euthanasia was the best option, the seal looked out to sea and dragged himself out into the water. He struggled to propel himself but then, in a flash he was gone.
Please keep an eye out and contact NPWS Narooma 4476 0800 asap if you spot this beautiful animal.
And if you are out on the water, please take extra care around these protected species.

Ticks, ticks, ticks are thriving and cause quite a bit of trouble lately.
Please make sure your pets are protected and that tick protection is used as per guidelines.
Please do not delay seeing a vet if your animal shows any signs of sickness after having ticks removed: lethargy, gagging, vomiting, back legs dragging.
Please don't opt to "Wait and see" before seeking treatment as the tick toxin can continue to cause more harm even after ticks are removed.
Give us a call if you need advice on the most effective products to use.
Please check yourself for ticks too. :)

Important information about Cat Vaccinations

In recent months cat vaccines have NOT been available in Australia due to global shortages.
Here at the Bermagui Veterinary Clinic we have managed to secure a limited stock of vaccines - please contact us to arrange a vaccination for your cat.

Does my cat need vaccination?
Yes, regular vaccinations are essential and protect your cat from contagious and preventable diseases. Some of these diseases can be fatal and many have no cure, so vaccinating your cat is important.

Which diseases do vaccines protect my cat from?
The F3 vaccine which is a core vaccine protects against the following three viruses:
* Feline Panleukopenia Virus
* Feline Herpes Virus
* Feline Calicivirus

How often should I vaccinate my cat?
Vaccination schedules depend on your cat’s lifestyle and age.
For kittens Dr Carl recommends the following schedule:
8 weeks old – first vaccination
12 weeks old – second vaccination
16 weeks old – third vaccination
Adult cats require annual booster vaccinations to ensure long-term immunity against contagious diseases.

Speak to our friendly staff today about the best possible vaccination program for your cat. Make sure you don't miss out on our limited supply.

There is a proposed housing development on Nutleys Creek Road DA 2023.301 which mentions our veterinary clinic as the place where injured wildlife will be brought (presumably during the forest clearing stage of construction).
We wish it to be known that we were not consulted on being included in the development application and we are not in favour of this proposal based on its serious impact on native wildlife and habitat.
In consultation with native wildlife experts we wish to say this:
The proposed development is likely to significantly affect threatened species, ecological communities and habitats.

1. Threatened Species
In the case of Threatened Species including Glossy Black Cockatoos, Yellow Bellied Gliders and Gang Gang Cockatoos, (recorded as active on this site) the proposal will have an adverse effect on the life cycles of these species such that viable local populations of these species are likely to be placed at risk of extinction.

2. Endangered Ecological Communities
In relation to Endangered Ecological Communities on both sites, the proposed development is likely to substantially and adversely remove or modify the composition and complexity of diverse ecological communities (including the draining of waterholes) such that their occurrence is likely to be placed at the risk of extinction.

3. Habitat
In relation to Habitat of threatened species and ecological communities, the stages and extent of land clearing and buildings footprint will result in acoustic disturbances, reduced air quality, light pollution, increased vehicle traffic, and other human disturbances which will cause habitats to become stressed, fragmented, at risk of introduced weeds and isolated thereby impacting on their long term survival.

We wish to express our utmost respect for the diverse needs of our human community but also speak as carers of our precious native wildlife.

Submissions deadline to Bega Valley Council is 20 February

This Little Penguin came into our care recently after being found stranded on a local beach, not moving away when approached. Upon examination she had a minor injury to the eye and was a little under weight. After a couple of weeks in care, she reached her optimal release weight and was released back to where she belongs 💙

Remember if you find a sick or injured seabird or marine reptile on the south coast, please call our hotline on ☎️
0431 282 238

Some helpful tips when contacting our hotline regarding an animal requiring rescue:
—> Please where possible stay near the animal keeping people and pets away. This also helps our rescuers to find you and the animal in a more timely manner than if you left the area.
—> Drop a pin 📍 of your exact location.
—> Take pictures from a safe distance of the animal and it’s injuries, from multiple angles.
—> Remain calm, be clear and concise when communicating with our team on the hotline.

Thank you for your support ☺️

HEADS UP!
A tiger snake has been sunning itself on the steps down to Beare's Beach. Please be mindful as you walk your dogs there.
A tiger snake bite can quickly become fatal.

🌊 Urgent Call to Protect Our Precious Shorebirds 🐦

As we enjoy our beautiful beaches this season, let's remember the vulnerable shorebirds like the endangered Hooded Plovers, Little Terns, and Pied Oystercatchers nesting along our shores. Their survival during the busy summer months is precarious, with nests and chicks often hidden in plain sight on the sand.

Disturbances can lead to abandoned nests, exposing eggs and chicks to extreme temperatures and predators, or even accidental harm from beachgoers and dogs. The survival of these species is in our hands.

🛑 What Can We Do?
National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and volunteers are working hard to signpost and fence nesting areas, but these birds often wander outside these boundaries. It's up to us to be vigilant and cautious, especially during these critical months.

👣 Every step you take with care can make a huge difference. Avoid disturbing fenced areas, keep dogs on leashes, and be mindful of where you walk. Sharing and following these simple measures can help ensure a safe breeding season for our feathered friends.

Let's enjoy our beautiful coast while protecting the precious lives that depend on it. Together, we can make a difference! Don't forget to upload your shorebird sightings to iNaturalist while you are out and about enjoying our natural areas this summer.

UPDATE - Each pup has found a loving new home!

Bringing an adorable new pup into your home during the holiday season requires 100% commitment to developing healthy habits, confidence and good behaviour.

Dr Carl recently visited these pups and they are delightful, healthy, adventurous and ready for their new home. Over the past several weeks a very special carer nursed them to this healthy state.

We are very grateful to all the devoted volunteers of the Animal Welfare League. Please make a donation and support their good work.

Perhaps common sense is not something Masked Lapwings are known for, but their endearing sense of loyalty and persistence is like no other.
These two Plovers have again chosen this particular nest site in town with the least chance of success: next to a busy road with lots of cars, and pedestrian traffic, dogs off leash, regular lawn mowing and the daily threat of the hunting Sea Eagles.
Perhaps it is the hypnotic view of Gulaga that has them returning here year after year.
Their eggs are about to be laid and we dearly hope everyone passing by keeps a respectful distance.

Let's protect them together.
