There has been an increase in the number of Pink Eye cases we have been seeing at the clinic. Pink eye (infectious bovine keratitis) is a bacterial infection of the eye that causes inflammation and blindness. If not treated promptly, it is a severe condition that can greatly affect productivity.


Important factors that predispose cattle to infection include:

Dusty conditions
Flies
Bright sunlight
Physical irriration of the eye (such as from dry feed or thistles)

If pink eye is causing an issue in your herd please contact the clinic on (02) 6851 1100 to discuss treatment options

Its the festive season and that means plenty of festive food!

Pets are not able to digest or metabolise many human foods and as a result they can cause illness in your furry friend. Here are some common festive foods your pet should avoid.

ALERT - Snakes are on the move❗❗❗

The weather is warm and the snakes are out. If bitten, this could be potentially fatal for your pets if prompt treatment is not given. Dogs and cats are most often bitten around the head and limbs. Usually the closer the bite is to the heart the quicker the venom will be absorbed into the pet’s system and distributed around the body.
Cats can take up to 24 hours to develop signs of snake bite while dogs can show signs a lot quicker. If you're pet has been in contact with a snake call the clinic asap!
Here are some of the signs of snake bite.🐍
