UPDATE ALBERT HAS FOUND A NEW HOME.

Hello, I'm Albert, and I am in search of my forever home. Unfortunately, my owner faced health challenges and can no longer care for me. I am a 10-year-old cat with all vaccinations up to date. I enjoy snuggling, I am house-trained, calm, and mature. I have a great appetite and spend my days resting, valuing companionship. If you could provide me with a forever home, don't hesitate to get in touch with Bundanoon Veterinary Hospital at 4883 6944.

Did you know that around once per month we have a team of specialists from VSOS, come to the clinic to perform procedures.
These procedures include; heart and abdominal ultrasound, gastroenteric scopes and much more.
This is a fantastic options for your pets that require that more intensive work-up but who don’t travel well or for those who can’t travel into the cities themselves.
Just this Monday the team were here, doing their thing! Below are some pictures of one of the cases they assessed. Penny the gorgeous Boxer x had a gastro scope due to ongoing digestive issues. During this scope they were able to diagnose the issue and recommend medication and procedures to help her moving forward.
If you are interested in this service, please give our friendly staff a call on 02 4883 6944

What does this mean for you??
This means that you can claim upfront on your insurance and only cover the remaining gap for your pet's treatment.

What do you need to do:
Simple tell us the name of your insurance provider (GapOnly covers 80% of the insurance market so chances are you can claim with them), provide us with your policy number and simply wait for an extra 5-10 minutes after your consultation for us to submit your claim and for GapOnly to review it and allocate the insurance benefit. All you then need to do is pay the remaining gap.

Available for adoption: Vicky

This gorgeous girl is a 8-week-old DSH kitten in need of a loving family.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst Vicky is healthy, friendly, and playful, she is POSITIVE FOR FIV. However, tests in young kittens are unreliable and can often be false positive in cats under 6 months of age. I will therefore need to be retested at 6 months old. Due to the possibility of carrying this disease, I must be kept as an indoor-only cat. I can however still live a long and relatively healthy life; I may just be more prone to illness and infection than other cats.
Cats with FIV can still live a long and happy life but they are more prone to disease and illness and often take longer to recover from any bouts of illness. In saying this Vicky is currently showing no indication that she is positive, and is a happy, healthy kitten.

Due to her potential condition, her adoption fee has been reduced to $100 which covers her micro-chipping, 3 x kitten vaccinations, worming/flea treatments, and desexing.

If you are interested please contact the clinic or drop in for a meet and greet!

20/02/2024

It's been a wild day!!

Meet our wildest, but perhaps cutest patients of the day!

Extra points for anyone who can name the species of these two gorgeous critters.

Pet of the Month - February 2024

Meet the regal Mr Harvey. Dear Harvey came to us this month, lame on his hind leg. After some initial treatment of pain relief, we did an X-ray of Harvey's foot to ensure there wasn't anything more sinister going on. This X-ray uncovered that Harvey had broken his toe.

Due to the nature of the break, and the location, it was determined that unfortunately it would never heal, and the best option moving forward was to amputate the toe.
Harvey now one toe short is still just as much a real dog as any other, and once the healing process is complete will be much happier for it.

Harvey also demonstrated perfectly in this video, why we as vets love our cones of shame! As whilst Harvey's toe is healing beautifully if he was able to get to it and lick it, as he thinks he is, then we would be in a world of trouble and need new stitches!

The gorgeous Harvey has been a gentleman in all his visits, and we can't wait to be able to give him the thumbs-up to take off the cone 😉

For the month of February, we are offering free nurse dental checks & nail trims for our lovely clients.

Does your dog or cat's breath smell? Are they over 7? Do they have dirty teeth?

The impacts of poor dental hygiene including tartar build up can be felt by many body systems and can also cause pain-related changes in behaviour. Just like when we have a sore tooth, chips, fractures or rotten teeth can cause a lot of pain for our furry friends.

To book in for a free nurse consultation, please give the clinic a call at 0248836944.

Hi all,

We are unfortunately facing a feline vaccination shortage in Australia. During this shortage, we will be prioritising unvaccinated kittens and high-risk adult cats.
Cats who have had their kitten vaccinations and first adult vaccinations will not be able to receive another vaccination until we have more stock in clinic - hopefully this will be in early 2024.
These measures are being taken in an attempt to avoid outbreaks of feline respiratory disease in our feline communities.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we appreciated your understanding regarding this matter.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with out team on 02 4883 6944.

Pet of the month - November 2023

Jill is a gentle and loving older girl. And wow, isn't she photogenic? We could all use some modelling tips from this divine girl.

Jill presented to us this month as she was feeling a bit off colour. With some blood tests and a hospital stay for some fluid therapy, Jill has shown some improvement. Whilst still on the mend, we wish this gorgeous girl the best and can't wait to see her back to her usual self.

If your dog or cat is aged over 8 years of age, we highly recommend routine blood-work which can be performed at their annual checkups or any other time if you are concerned. Annual bloods in our older fur-babies can help to pick up on any issues early. These tests can be run in-house and only take approx 15 minutes to get results. If you would like you book your pet in, please give our friendly staff a call on 02 4883 6944

27/11/2023

Pet of the Month October 2023 - Banjo

Banjo is one of our most food driven patients, who despite his aging years definitely still has to most overwhelming puppy dog eyes!! When hew puts them on you, you just can't help but say "yes Banjo, you can definitely have another treat."

Banjo has been coming in regularly this month for Pentosan injections and Beransa to help his arthritis. At nearly 18 years of age, Banjo is still going on regular walks, and takes just about anything in his stride.

We all hope to age just as gracefully as the gorgeous Banjo, and hope that we still have his love for life and treats at his age.

Looking for a new home:

The beautiful George is looking for his forever home. Unfortunately due to a change in living arrangements George is looking for a new home.

George is a gorgeous 5 year old DSH. Whilst he can be a little shy at first (can't we all 😉), he is a very affectionate soul who loves a snuggle on the bed, the lounge, or your lap.

He has grown up with young kids and is very accustomed to living with them and their specific style of chaos. Whilst he doesn't seek them out, he is always a gentleman when patted and handled by them.

George's favourite activities include; jumping up for head butts or high fives and sitting in front of the heater.

If you think you could offer George a spot in your home and your heart, please get in touch to find out more.
