Our energy workers are incredible!

Huge thanks to Aaron from who are working with Energex Brisbane in the Virginia area today - for dropping in this beautiful little ringtail possum for our vets and nurses to attend to. It was found soaked through when they were attending a job closeby.

Love our community ๐Ÿซถ and thank you to everyone involved with getting our homes and businesses back up and running.

๐Ÿพ Puppy "Milo" was a very happy girl at her visit with Dr Phil. She made sure that he wrote notes on how cute she looks with her big ears!

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Milo was very curious & ate lots of treats during her vaccine and health check consult. You may have seen Dr Phil around as he regularly joins the team when our other vets are enjoying some well-deserved time off!

๐ŸŒฟ Found a BABY BIRD??? ๐ŸŒฟ

Even though Spring ๐ŸŒป has well and truly passed we are still seeing a few fledglings around. Things to remember when assessing if a baby needs vet attention or be moved:

๐ŸŒป Is it in a safe place?
๐ŸŒป Is is bright and alert?
๐ŸŒป Does it have any obvious injuries?
๐ŸŒป Has it been on the ground for multiple hours?

A NORMAL part of learning to fly is the "fall down" phase. Often, the parent birds are not too far away, supervising & will bring food down to the baby.

If no obvious injuries are seen and the fledgling is bright & alert, the BEST option is to place it in a cardboard box on its side, close to the tree it came out of so that it is protected from the elements & the parents are able to keep an eye on it. ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€ผ๏ธIMPORTANTโ€ผ๏ธ NOTICE: You pet's microchip may no longer be registeredโ€ผ๏ธ

๐Ÿšซ'HomeSafeID' one of Australia's largest microchip registries has closed without notifying pet owners. If your pets' microchip is on their database, your details will no longer be accessible to vets, pounds or rescues. This means if your dog is to go missing, the microchip is essentially useless.๐Ÿšซ

โžก๏ธIf your pet is affected, you will need to re-register their microchip with a new registry, such as AAR or CAR. See link to registration form here: https://www.aar.org.au/pet-owners/owner-forms/ (AAR - $15 fee to register).
https://car.com.au/pages/list-a-pet
(CAR - $11.99 fee to register)

โžก๏ธTo find out if you need to register your pets' chip you can call the clinic, and if your pets' chip number is on their patient file we can let you know. Otherwise, book a time to pop by the clinic for a chip scan.

Did you knowโ‰๏ธ
๐Ÿคฏ A microchip is simply a series of numbers unique to your pet. Without being registered to a database, the microchip itself contains no contact details
๐Ÿคฏ almost 40% of microchips in Australia have inaccurate data or are unregistered!

Even our own pet's need a trip to the Vet occasionally. ๐Ÿพ

Steph's Border Collie, Elko, was glad to have her mums support while she was getting a check over from Dr Leonie. Elko was rewarded with some tasty treats after being such a good patient, and after a few weeks' rest, she should be back chasing Frisbee in no time!
