Update: REUNITED 🥰

🐱 FOUND 🐱

This old man was found in Toowong last night being attacked by a python. Luckily, a good samaritan was able to separate them and bring him down to the clinic.

He’s microchipped, but the details are not up-to-date. He’s recently been clipped, so he obviously has a home.

If you recognise him, please get in contact with us on (07) 3613 9644.

FOUND

This little lady was found sheltering under a home in Morley St, Toowong.

She had been hanging around the area for a couple of weeks, before she was finally caught and brought in to us today.

Unfortunately, she is not microchipped or desexed but she does appear to be in very good health.

Please help us find her home! If she is yours (evidence of which will need to be provided ie photos etc) or you may know of someone whose little one has gone missing, please get in touch with us by phone 36139644, email [email protected] or message us 🙏

To our dear Toowong Family Vet clients,

Toowong Family Vet will be closed today (10/09/2024) for one hour between 12 noon and 1pm. Our phones will also be diverted during this short period of time.

Over the past few weeks, the TFV team has been hit by some sad events that have affected the personal and professional lives of several of our team members. We have been soldiering on as usual, but a time for support and reflection is required to keep us strong and bring those big smiles back to our faces. As such, I have decided to hold a lovely lunch for the team where we can be together without interruption for this short period of time.

I love the team at TFV. I am always in awe of what a wonderful bunch of humans have gathered together in a common goal of helping our community's beautiful furry family members. Yet in this line of work, we rarely get opportunities to just sit down and simply be together, and right now that is something that will be a big help.

Please know that all current appointments and procedures are going ahead as scheduled for Tuesday, and it is only in that one hour in which we will be closed. We will be remaining inside the clinic for this lunch, so all patients admitted on Tuesday will remain under constant care and supervision.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Warmest regards

Dr Kirsty

Toowong Family Vet is closed today between 12pm and 1pm for a much needed staff lunch. Please read the link attached to know more. We will be back up and running from 1pm onwards, as usual.

♡ Meet Miss Mertyl ♡

This divine - and sometimes devilish, little lady is up for adoption. Mertyl came to us very little, very timid, and a little battered and bruised after being thrown from a car.

After spending a bit of time with us here for initial monitoring after (luckily!) no significant injuries were found, she went to Nurse Tabi's house for some quiet time and to find her feline feet. Over the next few weeks, she began seeking out company, coming up for snuggles and seeking out play. Her confidence grew and her little purrsonality began to shine. Now, back at TFV, she is bright and bubbly, confident in herself, and a hilarious full-of-sass-and-happiness little lady. She also found her purr, and you can hear her rumbling when it's time for food or a cuddle.

Miss Merts is ready to find her forever home. We approximate her to be about 12 weeks old. She comes vaccinated, microchipped, up-to-date with parasite control and to be desexed at six months of age (pre-payment is included in the adoption fee).

Adoption Fee: $300
Please let us know if you are interested or would like a meet-and-greet and/or to start the adoption application process.

💜🐕 REUNITED 🐕💜

PUPWATCH!

This chocolate and white Border Collie boy has been handed into us here at TFV.

He appears well and was found at City Cave, Auchenflower today around 2:30pm (15/06/2024). He is chipped and wearing a collar and we've reached out to all numbers listed, with messages left.

As we close at 4pm, he will need to be forwarded elsewhere - most likely an afterhours centre (which we can update if/when he heads over).

Please 👍 and Share to help spread the word for this little guy to get home and enjoying his weekend once more.

Meet Jimmy 🐈‍⬛🖤

This little devil in disguise arrived to us as a quaint and curious little ball of fluff, with no owner as far as the eye could see. We have kept the young man off the streets and in a stable home since. Now, having been shown the ways of the world, this fine young man must branch out, spread his hairy, goofball wings and find his furrever family.

Young Jimmeh will arrive sans-man beans (desexed) and vaccinated, microchipped, health checked and up-to-date with parasite control for an adoption fee of $250.
We have estimated his birthdate as 22/12/23. Can anyone say 'Christmas Babyyyyyy!'?

♡🐈‍⬛ A bit more about Jimmy 🐈‍⬛♡

Jimmy has *mucho* energy. He likes to play, play, play, enjoy a few feral-mode munches/death drops, then go straight back to playing.
This rambunctious teen will be happiest in a home with lots of scratchy posts, climbing trees, balls, toys - anything and everything, to help burn that young man energy. He likes other cats but does play on the rougher side. Norman and Ricky Bobby aren't fans of his 'style of play' (ie they're too slow for this speed demon), whereas Felicity just flips him off and he tornadoes to the next play thang. So, either an equally cooky cat friend or a cat that will put him in his place. He doesn't mind our girl Daph, but does put on his brave boots to smaller dogs that he feels like he might have a one-up over. He is also very easily won over by food.
We encourage anyone that feels they can fulfil all of Jimmy's hopes and dreams - and energy needs, to contact with your interest! He is lovely, funny, quirky boy that deserves a fantastically fun home to call his own.

Our beautiful Daphne 🥰
As a veterinary team and also pet owners/lovers ourselves, we know how hard it is when your little one is unwell.

Being an integral part of our TFV team, it was an all-hands-on approach with Daph. The whole team helped, both in the lead up to her referral and surgery, and the recovery period following. It was all a bit new, a bit emotional here and there - for us all.

But, Daphne being Daphne, she got on with business! She re-learned how to eat, drink, pick up and play with toys, grab her bed to do a humpybumpy plus she's thoroughly enjoying being vacuumed once more 😂

We cannot thank the team at BVSC The Animal Hospital enough, for all of their care, advice, expertise and ongoing support. We have our Daphy Doodles because of this access to such amazing care.

Daph is 100% back to her regular, quirky, sweet, and lovable self. Our pets are incredibly resilient, and they constantly amaze us with their ability to 'just get on with things'. Thank you for all the love and support over the last 4 months - Daph, Tahlia and the entire TFV team send lots of love to each and every one of you.

This is beautiful Daphne and she “kicked nose cancer in the butt” (as written on her bandana). She had a nasal planectomy and maxillectomy performed to remove a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Her primary care veterinarians at Toowong Family Vet referred her following a 2 week history of intermittent left-sided epistaxis (bleeding from the nose) and sneezing. She underwent CT imaging and a nasal mass was identified (see image).
BVSC’s surgery team led by surgery specialist, Dr Katherine Steele and surgery resident Dr Becky Leung performed the surgery to remove the mass at the front of her nose and maxilla to remove the cancer.
Daphne has recovered very well from surgery and wears her bandana with pride. She is pictured here with Dr Becky. Isn't she gorgeous!

🐈‍⬛ WE NEED YOUR HELP 🐈‍⬛

This handsome young man was dropped into the clinic this afternoon after being found wandering around a unit complex in Toowong, apparently he’s been seen around the area for the last few days.
He’s only very young, we think about 12 weeks, no microchip or collar.
He was ravenous when he came into the clinic, so we think he’s been on his own for a few days.

We’ve set him up in a room for the night with a comfy bed and a big dinner.

If you recognise him, please call us at the clinic on 3613 9644 📞

🥰 REUNITED! HAPPY DAWG DAYS! 🥰

🐕 FOUND DOG 🐕

German Shepherd, male, desexed 7 years old. Black and tan, nice and long and slender - he is in lovely condition, so obviously cared for and loved.

This Mr Pointy Face was found walking infront of cars at the corner of Grimes Street and Milton Road (right at Deer Duck Bistro) at approximately 5:00pm.

The wonderful lady that found this big hunk'o'man, will take him home for the night in the hopes that the owners are found through facebook/RSPCA etc.

If any issues (as they have pets of their own), they will take him to their nearest after-hours vet - likely out near Western Suburbs as this is where they live. It would be nice to reunite him tonight, but he will be in safe hands regardless.

Please 👍 and SHARE to help spread this German Shepherd word around town.

She’s been set up with her own room in the clinic until we can hopefully 🤞🏼 find her family.

If you recognise her, please contact the clinic on 3613 9644 📞

Bruce has a new haircut 🐈‍⬛ but he still needs a new home 🏠.

Here’s BRUCEY!
After 2 years, we are still on the hunt for a new forever home for Bruce.
The handsome man is 7 years old, desexed and fully vaccinated. He has a big personality and would be suited to a home without dogs and young children.

He gets along with the clinic cats but it did take some time for him to warm up to them.

If you’d like to organise a meet and greet with Bruce, please contact the clinic on 3613 9644

Let’s gets Brucey a home! 🏠
