Our little vet clinic is turning 1 on September 4th 🎂 I thought it would take 5 years for the clinic to become fully equipped, but it’s already happening.

Thank you so much to all our wonderful clients for your support and patience! I’d also like to extend my gratitude to my amazing staff and my family for putting up with my mid-life crisis.

From,
Dr. Kumiko ###

Little Miss Fig came in for her puppy vaccination. She has grown 2kg since the last visit, so we wonder how big she will be when she is fully grown. See you in 4 weeks for the titre testing! ⁠
⁠
Yes, we do puppy and kitten health checks and vaccinations. Also, the routine GP consultations, including blood tests, poo tests and so on! We do NORMAL things a bit differently 💛⁠

Treat crumble face! Sam has been coming in for shoulder pain treatment. He thinks we are a lollie shop, not a vet clinic 🤣 We hope we can wean him off pain relief soon with acupuncture and laser treatment!

Cuteness overload ❤️ We fit 3 Newfoundlands (total weight 150kg) in our consultation room! Earnie and Theophilous came in for their first consultations, and Puddle came for the Step EQT trial. I’m glad that they got to have a little Newfoundland meeting.

Our consultation rooms are big enough to fit prams, wheelchairs, and three big Newfoundlands, and they are also kid-friendly (stickers, books, pens, papers to draw, etc. are available )!

Cute hairstyle ❤️ We met Marco (14 years young) for the first time. He has a heart condition and mast cell tumour. Despite these health issues, he looked very healthy and did not have arthritis. His mum has been feeding him a good diet and supplements. Diet makes a big difference!

Leroy came in to discuss treatment for his heart issue. When no other patients are in the clinic, we keep the consultation room door open and lock the front door so that our fur patients can run around while pawrents are busy chatting with the vet. Leroy was back-and-forth getting treats from the reception and consultation room 😆 we hope you can breathe better soon with a combination of Western and Eastern remedies 🥰

Poor had an itchy bottom. We cleaned, put cream on and sent her home with our aroma-itchy spray for her pawrents to spray twice daily. She had to wear an Elizabethan collar to stop her from licking. Today, we had a chat with Poppy’s pawrent on the phone. Poppy’s bottom is better and she is using the Elizabethan collar as a pillow when she sleeps 😊 We are so glad to hear that Poppy is doing well ❤️ The Elizabethan collar, which we call Cone of Dream (as opposed to Shame), is available at our clinic.

Photos of Zeena having Vitamin C infusion and acupuncture. Despite having two major surgeries (she had tumours on her tongue and her heart removed 😮), she is one of our happiest & bounciest patients! We learn from our patients and clients daily and are lucky to witness strong human-animal bonds make miracles ❤️

Four weeks ago, Ajax came in because he lost weight and was itchy. Today, he gained almost a kilo, and his skin wasn’t red anymore. We added some more herbs, so hopefully, he’s not itching next time we see him! Here is the photo of him getting his acupuncture treatment 😍 Thanks, Ajax’s pawrent, for taking the very best care of him 😊

One of our biggest patients, Harry is sitting on the puppy bed 😂 He is 14 years old and weighs 45kg but has a cute little puppy in him. We love him so much 💜

Ludo and Nelson’s post-acupuncture photos! Their mum thought Ludo wouldn’t be able to have acupuncture as he could not settle. But look at him; he was very relaxed, and so was Nelson 🥰

11/10/2023

Midday’s second acupuncture! He is so cheerful and lovely to work with. We hope he has no more seizures with the new diet, which a veterinary nutritionist prescribed, getting acupuncture treatment and having Chinese herbs 💚

Our clinic is closed this Friday as we are at the Dog Lovers Show and working with doTerra Essential Oils. If you have medication/herbs/supplements to pick up from the clinic, please organise this by Thursday or Monday next week. Sorry for the inconvenience and our impromptu decision. We look forward to meeting you at the festival 😊

Olive came in a big backpack today for her general health check! We got to take cute family photos at the end ❤️ Thanks for coming, and .e.i._zeroday_earthman ☺️

Raven and Opal drove (their mum drove, to be precise) for 4 hours to come to see us 😭 They have itchy skin and heart disease (yes, they share the same problems). They are on all sorts of good supplements and healthy diets already. We practised acupressure with their mum so that they could continue feeling better without a big day trip 🧡 Thanks so much for coming! We look forward to seeing you sometime a bit later ☺️

Waffles is sooo cute 🥹 Her lovely parents brought her to us as she had itchy skin. We hope the treatment plan works and she will be less itchy at the revisit 🧡
