MYSTERY PATIENT REVEAL!
Yesterday's mystery patient x-ray was of a Southern Brown Bandicoot.
Sadly, this little male was humanely euthanised at Healseville Sanctuary's Australian Wildlife Health Centre.
Assessment revealed age-related degenerative joint disease ranging from moderate to severe and affecting his mobility, severe dental disease including a fractured canine, loss of all bar 3 molars and evidence of an abscess, mange and a chronic, severe tail fracture.
Thankfully a kind member of the public brought him to us and he was able to experience a peaceful end.
RIP little buddy π
As we welcome the change of the season and spring in all its glorious flowering beauty we also notice an increase in allergies. Just like pollens and grasses can set off humans with hayfever symptoms, our four legged friends can suffer atopic dermatitis.
If you notice your dog itching, licking paws or redness of the skin please contact us as there is effective itch relief available! Appointments always available.
