Happy Thursday everyone! 🌞
Just a quick post to pop up and say we admitted and treated 8 TICK PARALYSIS PATIENTS OVER LAST WEEKEND ALONE! 😱😰
We cannot stress enough to please make sure your fur babies are up to date with tick prevention as paralysis ticks are here and they can be unforgiving and cruel. 🙏
If your animal is portraying ANY of these symptoms please head to your closest vet clinic without delay:
- Vomiting/gagging/retching
- Laboured breathing
- Change in bark or meow
- Wobbly in the legs - particularly the hind legs
- Coughing
Remember; we are here on site 24/7 should you ever need us! If in doubt, give us a shout on 4015 3459. 📞
Happy World Veterinary Day to our awesome vets!
Where would we be in this world without them? Thank you so much to all of our hard working, diligent, amazing, determined and to sum it all up... INCREDIBLE veterinarians for everything that you do for not only our fur babies, but for the staff and clients that work with you all as well.
We are so lucky to have such an awesome bunch of people who all work together in helping make animals lives comfortable and long lived! We all appreciate you more than you'll ever know ❤️🐾
The wait is now over and we can finally let the cat out of the bag... We would like to show you all our new purpose built Cat Ward! 🐱
Our cat ward consists of SO many bonuses for our feline friends when they come to stay with us including:
- Dimmable lights to reduce harsh and bright lighting
- Monitoring cameras so our staff can see every cat in the ward at all times
- International Cat Friendly approved cages of which are designed specifically to reduce noise
- Oxygen points throughout the entire ward
- Sneeze guards to reduce transmissible infections
- Natural light for better welfare
- Constant diffusers of Feliway to reduce stress and anxiety
And that's not all!
The ward has had special sound insulation added into the walls to make it as calm as possible. It also has specific resuscitation equipment and feline monitoring parameters with dedicated drip pumps and syringe drivers.
Of course the best thing about the hospital is always our staff, their 24 hour dedication to their patients is unsurpassed. 🩺
We are so excited to have this up and running, and to have this amazing setup available for our feline furries when they present here. 🐾
Did you know, we are always here, always prepared, every minute of every day, 365 days a year.
Open 365 days a year, 24 hours day, our hospital has never been unmanned since we opened in 2017. We’re committed to always staying open, and we’re always prepared. Thats why we have a mine grade, 3 phase generator on site that will kick in within a minute if we lose power, back up phone systems, vets and nurses on site 24 hours a day, crash equipment standing by, canine blood on hand and the most thoroughly equipped, continuously monitored ICU in FNQ.
If you want peace of mind at night, we’re here to give it to you.
Emergency Vets is going Greener
Did you know that to offset the power used by keeping the hospital open day and night every day of the year, Emergency Vets 24/7 has installed a commercial solar array covering the entire roof. The system is large enough that we now generate enough power to cover all of the power consumption during the day and offset our power usage at night. Just another way we are trying to reduce our footprint and make the world a better place.
