Animal Emergency Service Underwood

Meet the team Monday!

Hi guys, my name is Holly!
I have been nursing for 5 & 1/2 years and joined AES mid 2023. Working in the emergency and critical care world was my absolute dream and now I’ve achieved it I don’t think I’ll ever leave 🌈💭 I love the rush of stabilising crash patients and helping owners in their desperate times of need. Also ensuring your pets hospital experience is positive and comfortable 👏🏼 Although I am an all size animal lover, I do especially love those little friends that find coming to the clinic a big, scary place and comforting them while they are with us 💗 Outside of work you will always find me outdoors, camping, at the beach, hiking etc my world never stops especially having two chihuahuas and a kelpie that keep me on my toes 🐾

🎄 Are You Ready for Christmas with Your Pets? 🐾

The holiday season is upon us, and while it’s a time for joy and celebration, it’s also a time to be mindful of your furry and feathered family members! 🐕🐈 🦜 Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and stress-free this Christmas:

🎁 Watch Those Presents: Keep chocolates, ribbons, and small toys out of reach—curious paws might unwrap more than you bargained for!
🌱 Mind the Mistletoe: Some holiday plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe can be toxic to pets.
🍗 Holiday Feasts: Share the love, not the leftovers. Fatty foods, cooked bones, and certain spices can lead to upset stomachs or worse.
🎄 Tree Troubles: Secure your tree to avoid accidents, and keep ornaments and tinsel out of reach.

🐾 We’re Here for You 🐾
If your pet gets into any mischief, our emergency hospital is opening early at 4pm December 24th and will remain open until 8am December 27th.
Save our number in case you need us: 07 3423 1888.
📍 1 Lexington Road, Underwood

Let’s make this Christmas a safe and happy one for you and your pets! Share your favorite holiday pet pictures with us in the comments—we’d love to see them! 🎅❤️

⚠️ Parvovirus Outbreak in SE Queensland ⚠️

Along with our fellow Veterinary community, we are issuing a critical alert to all pet owners in Southeast Queensland.

As we continue to see increasing numbers of the Canine Parvovirus (CPV) outbreaks across SE Queensland, our hospitals would like to ensure all clients and pets that may need to present to us, we have strict guidelines in place to keep pets safe.

To ensure we are recognising any potential cases that present to our hospital, our team will be asking the vaccination history of all dogs, young puppies through to seniors, as this disease can affect all age ranges.

If your dog has any of the following symptoms:
-Severe, bloody diarrhoea: Characterised by foul-smelling, watery stools with blood due to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining.
-Vomiting: Dogs may vomit undigested food and exhibit dry heaving when their stomach is empty.
-Lethargy and weakness: Dogs can become extremely ill and fatigued, with puppies particularly vulnerable.
-Loss of appetite: Nausea and abdominal pain can lead to refusal of food and water, exacerbating dehydration.
-Fever: High fever often occurs as the body fights the infection
Please contact your veterinarian right away, as early intervention is key.

🏥 We are available Mon - Thurs 6pm until 8am and 24hrs from Friday 6pm until 8am Monday morning.

If you need to visit us and your dog is displaying these symptoms, we kindly ask that you call ahead to notify us of your potential arrival, park in one of our emergency bays in front of the clinic, remain with your dog in the car, call the clinic for assistance and we will come out to you.

If you are unsure of your dog's vaccination history, please contact your regular/family veterinary practice to ensure everything is up to date.

Meet Our Underwood Hospital Team!

Hi I’m Patrice, I graduated with my Diploma in Veterinary Nursing in NZ in 1995.

I grew up on large animal farms and knew I wanted to be a Veterinary Nurse from when I was a teenager who used to take many days off school to help the vet come out to the farm.

After I graduated I worked in large and small animal practice in NZ before moving to Australia in 2003, where I spent 2 years in Melbourne in a small animal clinic, before moving to Brisbane to start my career in Emergency and Critical care where I also received my Diploma in this area. I have worked for Animal Emergency Services at Underwood for the past 11 years and have just recently started working shifts in the PetICU unit.

The fast paced Emergency environment is what makes me tick - but my favourite part is being able to play a part in helping critical sick patients go home to their families or assisting in making them comfortable if an end of life decision is made.

In my spare time I love nothing more than spending time with my family, friends and of course my dogs.

Hi! My name is Belle and I am a veterinary technician at AES Underwood. I graduated vet tech in 2023 and started my journey with AES as a nurse assistant in the second year of my degree. My favourite part of emergency vet nursing is seeing the animals recover from being unwell and knowing we were part of helping that animal get back to their families. When I’m not at work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors or at home with a good book cuddling with my dogs.

Meet Our Underwood Hospital Team!
Hi there, I'm Kate! I completed my Veterinary Technology & Certificate IV in 2018, and have been working as a veterinary technician with AES & PetICU ever since. As soon as I began studying, I knew in my heart of hearts that the emergency and critical care world was the place for me. There is something really special about being able to assist pets and their families through some scary moments, and to experience the wins with them too. I love that our team is one that strives to do the best for each individual patient collaboratively, and that we endeavour to make sure every pet is comfortable throughout their stay with us. I have my own pets, a little Cavalier X Chihuahua and a little Tuxedo kitty, so I know how hard it can be when they're sick so I always try my best to tailor my nursing to suit each patient uniquely, because they really do deserve it and need that from us. My favourite thing about nursing in ECC, is the hairy anaesthetics we get to manage, as that's when I feel my nurse knowledge gets put to the most good use, but I also love stabilising and managing some of the critical medicine cases we see too! Oh, and helping our more nervous pets work out that the vet hospital isn't such a scary place. Away from work, you'll most likely find me going for a bush walk with my fur kids (yes, the cat too!), having a picnic with friends or studying about this ever evolving field I work in!
That's all for now, tell your pets I said hi!

Meet Our Underwood Hospital Team!

Hi I’m Katelyn and I’m a registered veterinary technician. I joined AES as a nurse assistant in my final year of vet tech in 2021 and I instantly fell in love with emergency and critical care. After graduation I started the AES nurse internship where I achieved a certificate in emergency nursing. My favourite part of the job would be stabilising a crash patient and being an advocate for my patients. My pets are a bearded dragon and a cat I rescued from work. When I’m not working I enjoy going to the beach catching up with friends and going to reformer Pilates.

Meet Our Underwood Hospital Team!

Hi I'm Clarissa Herbst and I am a veterinarian. I graduated from Murdoch in 2022 and moved over from Perth to Brisbane to pursue my career in small animal emergency and critical care at AES. I completed my internship and now I am part of the family. I love that each day is different and you never know what will walk through those doors. My interest is surgeries. I have a soft spot for Dachshunds, my nickname from my friends is 'Dash'. Outside of work I am training for long distance triathlons and I love spending time outdoors, cooking and going to church.
