🐱💧 Is Your Pet Drinking or Urinating More Than Usual? 💧🐶

Have you noticed your furry friend’s water bowl is always empty? Excessive drinking and urination can signal health issues like kidney disease, diabetes, pyometra, or thyroid problems in both dogs and cats. 🐾✨

🔍 Here’s What to Watch For:
Measure Their Water Intake: Over the course of a week, track how much water your pet drinks.
Dogs: Normal is about 60ml per kilogram of body weight per day.
Cats: Normal is about 45ml per kilogram of body weight per day.
While pets may drink more with exercise or hot weather, consistent excess could indicate a health issue. 🚨

👩‍⚕️ Let Us Help!
🔬 Schedule a Check-Up: Our team can provide a detailed evaluation to determine the cause and get your pet back to their healthy self.

💬 Comment “HELP” below if you’ve noticed these signs or tag a pet owner who might need this info!

🐾 Meet Maddie – Our Compassionate and Skilled Veterinarian! 🐾

We're thrilled to introduce Dr. Maddie, a dedicated small animal veterinarian who has recently joined our team.

In her professional life, Maddie has a keen interest in surgery, clinical pathology, dentistry, and dermatology. When she’s not busy caring for animals, Maddie enjoys sewing, macrame, painting, pilates, and baking delicious treats to share with her colleagues.

🐾 **Ivy's Road to Recovery!** 🐾

Ivy recently underwent surgery on her right hind leg to address lameness caused by medial patella luxation and a torn cranial cruciate ligament. Our team combined two advanced procedures to help her get back on her paws!

**Surgery Highlights:**
- The stifle joint was stabilised with a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO).
- Medial patella luxation was corrected by deepening the patella groove and rebalancing the soft tissues.

Wishing Ivy a smooth and speedy recovery! 💖

🎉 Meet Dr. Andrew, Our Surgical Superstar and Resident Problem-Solver! 🎉

With a Bachelor of Veterinary Science from The University of Melbourne under his belt, Dr. Andrew didn’t stop there. He went on to pursue his interest in small animal surgery, earning memberships with the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 2001 and completing a Masters of Applied Science from The University of Sydney in 2010.

Dr. Andrew honed his surgical skills during 14 years as a regional GP in Mansfield, where he handled everything from routine cases to complex referrals. In 2012, he took on the role of staff surgeon for Animal Hospitals Australia (now National Vet Care), leading the surgical team across multiple Melbourne clinics for over 4 years.

These days, Dr. Andrew’s expertise in advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive surgery keeps him in demand. With ACE Vet Hospital as his home base, he’s here to tackle challenging cases and perform cutting-edge surgeries for both local pets and those referred by other clinics.

Dr. Andrew’s passion for learning never stops—he’s always exploring new technologies and pushing the limits of what’s possible in veterinary surgery. And when he’s not in the clinic, you can find him enjoying a good chat, a relaxing fish, or (ideally) both at the same time! 🎣💬🐾

💕🐶 This beautiful mum-to-be visited us recently for an abdominal ultrasound to find out if she was pregnant 🐶💕
We recommend ultrasound pregnancy examinations in dogs from 4 weeks of gestation to provide an early diagnosis of pregnancy. This gives you more time to prepare and allows the veterinarian to assess the viability of the embryos and health of the mum.
We wish Maisy Mae all the best with her pregnancy and are looking forward to seeing her adorable puppies 🐶

🐱🦷 When was the last time your pet had a dental check? 🦷🐶

Check out these before and after photos of two recent patients that presented to the ACE Vet Hospital for a dental scale and polish under general anaesthesia 🦷 Once they were cleaned their teeth were radiographed (x-rayed) using our specialised dental x-ray unit. Radiographs allow the vet to assess the health of the teeth and their roots to determine if teeth need to be removed.

We have some promotions running in August for Dental Month, if you would like to book a FREE dental check with our amazing nursing team, give us a call!

Check out this gorgeous boy, Prince, in physio with our nursing team.

4mth old Prince sustained a growth plate fracture to his left hind leg. This was repaired using a fluoroscope (live x-Ray) to accurately place 2 stainless steel pins for stability. Prince has been receiving high level IV pain control via a drip to manage any discomfort. Pain control and physiotherapy are so important when it comes to getting our little friends back home with their families.

Gilbert was referred to us recently after being diagnosed with a cranial cruciate ligament rupture by his local vet clinic. Upon arrival he had an orthopaedic examination with Dr Andrew and was walked over our “Strideway” objective gait analysis system to assess the extent of his lameness. Dr Andrew then performed a Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO) on Gilbert. He was a star patient and it is always wonderful to see our patients walking so soundly the day after their surgery. Gilbert has now headed home to be looked after by his local vet clinic, and we will continue to collaborate with them for his ongoing care 🐶🩺
