The Vet Lounge Coomera will be closing at 1pm today (instead of 3pm), so all of our team can enjoy the Christmas party this afternoon. We are looking forward to saying ‘thank you’ to them for the love and care they gave our patients throughout 2024. ❤️

We are very grateful to have such a talented, compassionate team & hope they all enjoy the celebration. 🎉 🥳

Bearded dragon? What bearded dragon? I don’t know what you’re talking about! 🤭 Looks like our cheeky little friend found the perfect hiding spot in Nurse Candice’s hair! 😆🦎

Some weeks can be challenging in the clinic, and last week was one of those for our Currumbin team as they faced a series of tough cases. 💔 But then along came beautiful Chilli, brightening everyone’s day with her cuteness while she was in for her spey procedure. Her sweet personality and playful antics lifted everyone’s spirits. Thank you Chilli for the much-needed smiles! 💖

Oh my! Just look at this gorgeous kitty! 😻 Rocky stole our hearts with his inquisitive nature and stunning good looks. We can’t get enough of this handsome fella! 💖✨

We’re already seeing an increase in lorikeets with Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS), and the season has just begun! This condition typically affects our beautiful Rainbow and Scaly-Breasted Lorikeets from October to June. While the cause of LPS remains unknown, the good news is that it is completely curable if caught early.

LPS impacts the lorikeets' ability to fly, walk, blink, and even swallow. You may find these beautiful birds lying on the ground, struggling to move. If you come across an injured or unwell lorikeet, please gently pick them up using a towel and bring them to any of our clinics for the care they need and deserve.

Recovery from LPS can take 4-6 weeks of intensive care by wildlife carers before they can be safely released back into the wild. Thank you for helping us care for these wonderful creatures! 🌈🦜💚

Look at Miss Bindi, all smiles after her successful laparoscopic spey procedure! 🐾💖 This minimally invasive surgery offers many benefits for our furry friends:

✨ Less Pain: Laparoscopic speys lead to less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional methods.
✨ Quicker Recovery: With smaller incisions, pets can bounce back faster and get back to their usual activities sooner.
✨ Reduced Scarring: The tiny incisions result in minimal scarring, making healing both effective and cosmetically pleasing.
✨ Lower Risk of Complications: This technique minimises the risk of infections and complications that can arise from larger surgical openings.

Miss Ellie came in for a check-up on her sore right elbow. During her 20-minute consultation, she spent most of the time blissfully relaxing on her back, soaking up all the love and attention from our team! At nearly 15, Ellie has clearly mastered the art of relaxation and enjoying life to the fullest. 😆❤ 🐾

🎃🐾 Happy Halloween! 🐾🎃

As you celebrate with spooky treats and fun costumes, remember that some Halloween goodies can be harmful to your furry friends. 🍬

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to pets and can cause serious health issues. Also, watch out for xylitol, often found in sugar-free lollies and gum, as this is also extremely dangerous to pets! And don’t forget, lollies can pose a choking hazard too!

Keep those trick-or-treat goodies out of reach! If you suspect your pet has ingested something harmful, please seek veterinary care immediately. Let's keep our furry family members safe and sound this Halloween! 👻💚
