(16)
The Hampden Veterinary Clinic opened for business in May of 2009 and we have been servicing the farms and family pets of South West Victoria from this time onwards. The founding partners of the business were David Buckle and Simon Dean, both were experienced veterinarians with over 10 years experience each. Xavier McKinnon, another experienced vet came on board to work for the clinic in the first
year and after that first year bought into the partnership. We are now excited to have Dr Anthony Down as our small animal doctor. Our practice has grown rapidly with our opening in Warrnambool. We now have 10 full time vets working, with a practice manager and 4 vet nurses working full time in the clinic. Hampden Veterinary Clinic is a mixed animal Veterinary clinic situated in the heart of Southwest Victoria in the township of Cobden and now also situated at 209 Lava St. We care for all dogs, cats, cows, sheep, horses and any other animal that is sick or in need of veterinary care. The aim of the clinic when set up was to provide a quality veterinary care to animals of South West Victoria, whilst still being affordable for their owners. We pride ourselves on delivering caring and innovative treatments, preventative health care and education for all.

This is Indy.
Little Indy came to us via referral from a local vet clinic. She had unfortunately broken her leg. Dr Anthony and Dr Wendy operated and placed a plate on the tibia. After some rest at home we can repost that Indy has healed beautifully.

Meet Duke
Duke was feeling under the weather recently. He was uncomfortable and his diligent owners noticed his enlarged abdomen and brought him straight to the clinic where the HVC team of vets and nurses swung into action.
Duke was diagnosed with a GDV or Gastric dilatation and volvulus. He was initially stabilised with IV fluids and then taken to surgery, where our vets untwist the stomach and then suture part of the stomach to the abdominal wall to help prevent it from twisting again.
Luckily, Duke recovered well from the surgery and was able to go home a few days later.
Which one would you take home?

Nurse Mandy is also teacher Mandy!
For those of you that don't know, in 2022 nurse Mandy completed her certificate 4 in Training and Assessment. This combined with her vet nursing qualifications has enabled Mandy to teach the certificate 2 in Animal Care Mercy Regional College in Camperdown - which is available to Year 11 and 12 students.
Mercy helped with Mandy's training and provided support to make this a reality, and as it comes to the end of the year, Mandy is already looking forward to next year.
So for anyone interested in this course contact Mercy Regional College in Camperdown and you too can learn from one of the best.
At HVC we are all extremely proud of Nurse Mandy.
Wow! Nearly 12 months since weāve opened the clinic in Warrnambool!
Little Elsie back was our first patient back in October last year.
Great turnout for our new info night āBeyond the Horizonā talking all things genomics, heifer growing, pestivirus and worms!
Thanks to everyone who attended.
ZARA the Wonder Dog
A few weeks ago, Zara presented to our Warrnambool clinic with some pain in her hocks. Our vet, Dr Anthony recommend some X-rays and all seemed well.
Once under anaesthesia, Dr Anthony noted all was not as it should be and Zaraās abdomen seemed larger than it should be.
A few more X-rays and an ultrasound later (along with a few phone calls to Zaraās worried owners), Zara was diagnosed with a mass in her Spleen.
Surgery was performed to remove her 3.2kg spleen and were thrilled to receive the pathology results we were hoping for. Zaraās mass was benign and sheās recovering well.
Well done Zara - You Rock!
Last night some of the HVC team got together for a āPaint & Swigā session!
Led by our vet nurse and in house artist Mandy, everyone produced an award winning Protea.
