"Meet Tiger: A Sweet Boy Looking for His Forever Home”

Tiger is a 7yo neutered male domestic medium hair tabby who has been a patient of Carindale Vet Surgery since he was a kitten. Having always been in good health we only saw him a couple times a year for his annual vaccinations and groom. During his last groom an injury to his tail was found. The tip of the tail had gotten caught in something, causing a degloving injury that went unnoticed due to his normally thick coat. Normally for this kind of injury amputation of the damaged area is recommended however, due to financial constraints, the owner chose to manage with pain relief and antibiotics at home. When they could no longer manage his care they decided to have him euthanised.

Because of Tiger's beautiful nature and otherwise excellent health, we had Tiger surrendered into our care and we are committed to giving him the care he needs, including a tail amputation to ensure he can heal comfortably and live pain‑free. Once he’s recovered, this brave boy will be ready to start fresh with a family who will cherish him for the sweet, resilient companion he is.

Tiger has been through a lot in a short period of time so understandably he takes some time to feel comfortable in a new environment and with new people. But once he feels safe with you, all he asks is that you give him infinite smooches and head boops.

He was an only-child in his previous home so his ideal match would be a calm and loving single-cat household where he can receive the attention and care that he deserves. If you're looking for a gentle, sweet companion (currently rocking a fabulous haircut) who will bring nothing but love and affection into your life, Tiger is ready to meet you. "

Vet nurse life!! ♥️

Little Mackie needed to have a wee break whilst in hospital with us for the day, but was of course refusing to get her fabulous coat wet… so we improvised. The things we do to ensure patient comfort 🤣 💕

This is an adorable and special little baby ringtail possum, fully furred, starting to explore, and learning about the world one leaf at a time. 🍃

Our native wildlife plays an important role in our ecosystem, and every life, no matter how small, matters. It’s these tiny and gentle creatures that make Australia the special place it is.

If you ever come across a baby possum, the best help is often to observe first. Mum is usually close by, and stepping back can give them the best chance to reunite. If a joey appears injured, weak, or alone for an extended time, please contact us for the next step to take.

Thank you for caring, noticing, and helping protect our native wildlife, because every life helps shape Australia 💚🇦🇺

As another year comes to a close, we’re sharing a much-deserved Christmas lunch together, a rare pause to breathe, reflect, and look back on everything this year has held.

Being a veterinary team means living in the space between joy and heartbreak. It means celebrating wagging tails, first puppy visits, healing milestones, and the small everyday wins that bring genuine happiness, while also walking beside families during some of their hardest moments. Our vets and nurses experience it all, long days, emotional weight, constant learning, and the responsibility that comes with caring for lives that mean everything to someone. But woven through it all is laughter in the treatment room, shared victories, proud moments, and the deep happiness that comes from helping animals feel better and watching families leave with relief and gratitude.

To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your beloved animals. To our patients, you bring us purpose, connection, and so much happiness, even when the days are hard. Today we celebrate the year that’s been, the work we’re honoured to do, and the joy found in caring together. 💪🏻♥️

🚨🍇 ‘The Grape Escape’ by Godzilla 🐾

Hey frens, it’s me, Godzilla, the tiniest (and clearly most dramatic) patient at the vet clinic today. So this morning I ates a dewishus green grape. Just one. A smol one. Then my mum absolutely SPEED-RACED down Secam Street, probably clipping a few pedestrians because apparently…

👉 EVEN ONE grape can cause acute renal and gastrointestinal upset in doggos! (Um, excuse me?? One?? 😳)
Before I can even blink, the DOGtors swoop me away like I’m some kind of emergency burrito. I gets a pokey stick, instantly regret every decision I’ve ever made, and then I start seeing flying sheeps.

And then… BLEURGGHHH. 🤮, Out came the grape along with my breakfast and probably my hopes and dreams.

The good news:
✨ I am okay.
✨ My kidneys are okay.
✨ My pride is… still loading.

So hoomans, listen carefully:
No grapes. No raisins. Not even one.
We smol floofs can get very sick, very fast.

Sincerely,
Godzilla aka Zilla 🐾💕

They are someone’s everything. 💕

Christmas often brings a mix of joy and heartache. As vets/nurses we see firsthand how this time of year can become a stark reminder that some families are hoping for just one more week, one more day, or even one more quiet Christmas morning with their best friend.

It reminds us how incredibly special our pets are. They are not just pets they are family. For some people, their pet is their constant, their comfort, and sometimes the only steady love in their life. With every goodbye, we carry their stories with us. We remember the devotion in their eyes, the softness of their last moments, and the immense privilege it is to be there when a family is saying farewell, especially during a season meant to be filled with light.

If have lost your beloved pet this year, please know we are remembering them too, with tenderness, gratitude, and honour for the life you shared.
