Our wildlife is incredibly precious and we are so fortunate to reside in a wildlife rich environment.

With this at times, comes tragedy when paths collide.

But not all situations end in disaster.

Yesterday we were presented with a beautiful cockatoo who was hit by a car. No ones fault. We all know how this can happen in a split second and how distressing it can be.

With the superb team of staff on board , this gorgeous bird was able to be released late afternoon back to his flock. And he was indeed eager and vocal about doing so ! ( anyone who has been very close to one will know the noise they make !!)

A huge thanks to the people who cared enough to bring him in. Our care and empathy towards the people involved as we since found out it was an incredibly distressing situation for them. (🙏)

Thank you to the team on yesterday:
Dr Alex, Dr Hannah, and our dedicated caring reception and nurses for all the work you do. You are angels is scrubs. 🫶

Screech … as I’ve named him is back in Gisborne to continue on with life

Oh Barry..... todays supervisor!

No... this is not food next to a highlighter... (ewww)

This is Bladder stone weighing 24 gm that we extracted from a gorgeous Dog. Not often they are this size!
Lots of oohs and ahhs that day, not to mention 1 very happy, comfy and relieved pooch and owner.

Friendly reminder - any pet seen straining to wee, showing signs of discomfort or generally unwell, give us a buzz on 03 5428 2805

Wanting to make the most of dental month for your cat or dog ?
We have space for 2 more on Wednesday 14th August

Give the clinic a call 54282805 and take advantage of the discounts

Cat and dog teeth are like icebergs …. Above the gum line, we only see a small portion of the teeth, but below the gum line, that’s where all the action is and with some teeth, below / unseen can be as much at 2/3rds of the tooth !

Teeth and gum problems can have huge health impacts on your animal , not to mention smelly breath !!!
As humans, if we have a tooth or gum issue, we see the dentist … your pet is not immune to having issues either and a dental is super important to check all is ok , because they sometimes can’t tell us if it’s not.

Give the clinic a call and have a chat with one of the team

Below are models of cat and dog teeth. Can you guess which is which ?
And check out those icebergs !!!!

Happy birthday to the horses that celebrate today !

Did you know that some horses in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate their 'birthday' on the 1 August? Whilst they may not actually be born on this date, their birthday is standardised for comparison due to a historical lack of records of the actual birth date many moons ago.

Many horse lovers know the exact birth date of their equine fur babies … and any excuse for a party is good in our book !

01/08/2024

The clinic will be closed from 12:30pm to 2pm today for staff straining.

Yup … that is a large stick wedged at the back of the jaw !

Ouch ! Thankfully it was noticed quickly and the damage / impact was minimal

One lucky horse !!!

Most pets are pretty happy in the clinic when visiting , but for some, it’s a stressful situation.

We look forward to providing great outcomes for your visits

So closed for consults - Tuesday 30th July - 11am to 2 pm

If you need an appointment , please contact reception on 54282805 as we have lots of time slots available on that day outside the closed time.

Hello Winter !
As our equine family members age, it’s super important to monitor and watch how they not only perform in these colder months but how they are in their paddocks and stables. Look out for Joint stiffness and can they lay down and hop up ok , are they walking around normally , are they dropping weight ?
Lots of challenges can present for our older friends - but please know there are lots of options available. Give our equine team a call on 54282805 and talk to us about what’s going on and how we can help.

02/07/2024

Brrrr as Winter hits , our pets like to really snuggle in and keep warm.
It is a time though that our older pets will feel bone and joint changes. If you notice your fluffy friend walking with discomfort , struggling to get up, looking uncomfortable - there are options available. Whether you need to start with joint supplements or consider stronger treatment, give us a call to discuss the options. Start the conversations and let us help you with a plan. 54282805

And yet another … found on the side of the road next to his deceased mother this morning.

This little guy is totally adorable and no injuries .
He will be going off to a carer today .

We thank the community members who pick up the little ones off the road 😇💕

We thank the wild life carers who rehabilitate 😇♥️💖

We thank our team who check them out and show so much empathy 😇💓

We thank the motorists who slow down 😇💝

25/06/2024

Thank you to the lovely lady who bought this little guy in tonight, whose mum was found dead on the side of the road. A healthy little guy who has gone off to a wildlife carer

20/06/2024

Brrrr we all know what Winter is like in the beautiful Macedon Ranges!
A couple of tips for your feline and canine friends - especially the older ones.

* ensure they stay as warm and active as possible
* extra bedding where applicable especially if the bed is on a cold floor
* engage in lots of indoor play
* watch for signs of joint discomfort or stiffness.

There are many options available to treat soreness or arthritis and our team are very happy to go through these with you.
Give the clinic a call and book in to see a vet. 54282805

Getting old in the cold is not fun, but there is help available
