Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Cooma North Preschool Association Incorporated after recently caring for their beloved guinea pig, Rosie. It was so much fun showing the children what it’s like to be a vet!

We explored tick checks, ultrasounds, tools and even how to use a breathing tube. The kids were full of great questions, and we loved their enthusiasm!

A big thank you to Cooma North preschool for having us—we can’t wait to visit again!

📸 This post contains photos of a surgical procedure ⚠️

Yesterday, Miss Rosie the guinea pig visited our Cooma clinic for a little surgery. 🐹

Dr. Grace took great care of Rosie as she performed a procedure to remove a lump. After sedating Rosie, the area was clipped and cleaned, and Dr. Grace used a biopsy punch to safely remove the lump. Once that was done, the area was carefully closed with staples.

Of course we had to check out her Chompers 🦷

We're happy to report that Rosie is recovering well! 🐾

Muffin would like to share some words of wisdom. 🤓🐾

Did you know that petting a cat on their head can actually make both you and your furry friend feel better? 🐱💖

When you gently stroke your cat's head, it triggers the release of oxytocin — also known as the "love hormone." This hormone promotes bonding, reduces stress, and helps both humans and animals feel calm and connected.

So the next time you're giving your cat some love, remember: you're not just making them purr — you're also boosting your own mood!

🐍 Snake Bites in Cats: What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know 🐾

Just this week, we cared for a handsome boy named Jinx, who was admitted to the hospital 3 days ago after a suspected snake bite. Jinx received antivenom and has spent the last few days on fluids to allow his body to recover. Thanks to quick action from his owners and the right care, Jinx is now on the mend and getting stronger every day. 🐱💚

We've seen a rise in snake bite cases in cats over the past couple of weeks. Did you know that cats are highly susceptible to snake bites in Australia, especially during the warmer months? Curious kitties exploring the outdoors are at risk of encountering snakes, and while they may take longer to show symptoms compared to dogs, the situation can still be life-threatening.

Symptoms in cats can take longer to appear than in dogs, sometimes delaying up to 25 hours after the encounter before any signs are noticeable.

Signs Your Cat May Have Been Bitten:
⚠️ Sudden weakness or collapse
⚠️ Difficulty breathing or rapid panting
⚠️ Dilated pupils or changes in vision
⚠️ Vomiting or drooling
⚠️ Trembling or muscle twitching

Cats often show delayed symptoms because their bodies metabolize venom differently, but this delay can be deceptive—don’t wait to seek help if you suspect a bite.

What to Do:
🐾 Stay calm and keep your cat as still as possible to slow venom spread.
🐾 Seek immediate veterinary care—snake bites require urgent treatment, including antivenom and supportive care.
🐾 Avoid applying ice or attempting to suck out the venom.

Prevention Tips:
🐍 Keep your yard tidy to reduce snake hiding spots (e.g., long grass, wood piles).
🐍 Monitor outdoor cats closely during snake season.
🐍 If possible, keep your cat indoors or limit outdoor time to secure areas.

We’ve seen firsthand how quick action saves lives, just like it did for Jinx. If you’re concerned or want advice on keeping your cat safe this summer, don’t hesitate to reach out.
