These two adorable lambs were recent surrenders to the clinic. One of our receptionists, Nina, has taken them both in and they are thriving. The little black lamb had sustained an injury to a hindlimb that had resulted in him requiring the limb to be amputated. The surgery was performed at Bungendore Vet and he is now thriving. You can see in the video how well he is managing with only 3 legs!
We had some adorable kittens recently that were found abandoned. They required some TLC and treatment for ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection that causes skin lesions. It is zoonotic, which means people can catch it from cats. The treatment involves regular bathing with antifungal shampoo. As you can see in the video, they didn't seem to mind the nice warm bath at all. These kittens have now found their forever homes and are settling in really well.
When you need your feet done and you are super chill about it…. There aren’t too many horses that lie down to have their feet examined but it definitely makes it easier on our backs!!
CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO!!! A little photo montage of our year in review… some great pics in here of the best team ever!!!
This is a video of Megan, one of our vets, administering an inhalant drug to a horse named Ginger with a spacer. She has been diagnosed with an inflammatory condition of her lower airways. Steroids are being administered directly into her airways, similar to how it is used in a person with asthma. As you can see in the video, Ginger is tolerating it really well. It is great to see all the different ways we can administer medications and what can be achieved with some desensitisation training and a calm horse.
