🐾 Meet Rufus, Our Brave Fighter! 🐾

Today we want to share Rufus’s journey—a delightful and charming pup who came to us with sudden symptoms of ataxia (loss of coordination) and a quiet, hoarse bark a couple of weeks ago. After a close examination, we discovered the culprit: a paralysis tick near his trachea.

Paralysis ticks are incredibly dangerous because their toxin attacks the nervous system, causing progressive paralysis. In Rufus’s case, it was so close to his trachea that it compromised his ability to breathe and bark. Without urgent treatment, his life was at risk.

But thanks to the quick actions of his amazing owners and our team, Rufus received the antivenom and intensive care, spending a few days in hospital to monitor his progress. With his dedicated family by his side, Rufus is now on the road to a full recovery, regaining his strength day by day.

As tick season is upon us, it’s a great reminder to stay proactive. A once-yearly injectable preventive like Bravecto Quantum offers year-round protection from ticks and fleas, so you can enjoy peace of mind and keep your pets safe. Let’s keep our fur friends protected and thriving! ❤️🐶

🐾💙Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful pug named Ellie, who came in with symptoms of discomfort passing stools and was clearly in a lot of pain.💙🐾

Upon further examination, Dr. Sameera made a surprising discovery—Ellie was pregnant and in labour! Given her breed and the size of the pups, along with a quick ultrasound, it became clear that both mum and puppies were in distress, putting them in serious danger.

Without hesitation, Sameera and the team jumped into action, performing an emergency caesarean. Two tiny puppies were delivered but needed immediate resuscitation and the prognosis was very poor. Our amazing nurses, Adrienne and Dillon, worked tirelessly for 45 minutes, and with unwavering determination, these little pups—who had a very slim chance of survival—pulled through!

One week later, Ellie returned for a recheck with her healthy babies. She’s now a proud and doting mother, and we couldn’t be happier for her and her wonderful owners. 💕🐾

🐾 Not so little Lola, one of the bravest and dearest Golden Retrievers we’ve ever had the privilege of treating! At only 10 weeks old, she defied all odds after undergoing major surgery with us to remove a foreign body. 💛

After her surgery, Lola spent time at SASH and has been the biggest snuggler to our staff through it all. Her resilience and sweet nature have stolen our hearts!

Here she is, now almost as big as our wonderful vet nurse, Elizabeth—what a pair they make! 🐶💕

We couldn’t be prouder of her incredible journey and are so grateful to have been part of her recovery. Go, Lola! 🎉

🐾 Meet Professor Brighton! 🐾

Today, we had a very special guest expert at the clinic—Professor Brighton! Donning his stylish glasses, he was busy giving us his professional opinion on our treat rationing protocol. 😎

Thank you, Professor Brighton, for your invaluable input! We’ll be sure to take your suggestions seriously (especially the ones about extra treats 😉).

He also was the best friend giving moral support to his brother who was recovering from a dental. What a champion 🥰🥰

🐾 Ellie the Cute Cavoodle! 🐾

Meet Ellie, the adorable 10-week-old Cavoodle who melted our hearts the moment she walked through our doors. She came in with a sore paw, and our talented Dr. Sam quickly realised something wasn’t right. After a thorough examination, he suspected poor Ellie had broken a metacarpal bone in her front paw.

With the help of Dr. Charles, who has further training in fracture repairs and surgical repair, and a consultation with a specialist, Dr. Sam was able to confirm the diagnosis with radiographs. Together, they decided the best course of action was to cast Ellie’s little paw for four weeks.

Ellie was an absolute champion throughout the entire process! She even became a wonderful helper at reception, soaking up extra cuddles from our Head Nurse, Adrienne. 💕

We are so proud of Ellie for being so brave and full of love, and we can’t wait to see her fully recovered and back to her playful self! Well done, Ellie! 🥰🥰

🌟 Meet Tyson! 🌟

This handsome boy came into our clinic for his rescue desexing, and we instantly fell in love with his sweet nature and playful spirit. Tyson is a beautiful Boxer with a heart full of love, just waiting to find his forever home. Here he is, cuddling with our wonderful vet nurse, Dillon, who couldn’t resist giving him some extra love and attention. ❤️

At Brisbane Water Veterinary Hospital, we proudly support the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” movement. We partner with several amazing rescue organisations to help pets like Tyson find loving families. Every pet deserves a second chance, and we’re dedicated to making that happen.

Stay tuned for more updates on more pets like Tyson from our rescue partners. Together, we can make a difference! 🐾

🐾 Heroes Among Us! 🐾

We are incredibly fortunate to have an amazing team and some truly special team members who go above and beyond to save lives, using their own pets. Meet Ellie and Bronte, two of our large-hearted heroes who have volunteered as blood donors to help save the lives of other pets in need.

In the photo, you can see our dedicated team working together to ensure everything goes smoothly. The process requires sedation for our donors, as the donor needle is more than 4mm in diameter! Each team member has a critical role: one provides support to the donor, another carefully rotates and weighs the blood to ensure the correct amount is taken, and the last uses aseptic techniques to safely collect the blood.

After donating, our gentle giants receive fluid therapy for a few hours and, of course, a few treats for their incredible efforts! 🍖💉

A huge thank you to Ellie, Bronte, and all the team members who make this life-saving work possible. Your kindness and dedication are inspiring! ❤️🐶

🐾 Coco the tail of trouble 🐾

We’re thrilled to share Coco’s story with you all! Coco had been suffering from pain due to her corkscrew tail. Corkscrew tails can cause chronic pain due to the structural abnormalities, leading to pressure on nerves and restricting movement. They also trap moisture and bacteria in skin folds, causing frequent infections and inflammation. Surgey can provide relief and prevent future complications.

With the expertise of Dr. Pete and Dr. Charlie, we were able to perform a highly delicate and complex surgical intervention that offered her immediate relief.

This type of surgery is particularly challenging, but thanks to the skill and care of our team, Coco is now on the path to a much more comfortable life. She should experience fewer complications in the future, including less pain, dermatitis, and skin fold infections.

We’re so proud of Coco and grateful to her loving family for trusting us with her care. Here’s to many happy, pain-free days ahead for this sweet girl! 💕
