Just like us, our pooches have blood types too. In fact, dogs have over a dozen known blood types!

Known as Dog Erythrocyte Antigen or DEA, the most common canine blood type is DEA 1.1.

We are looking for more superhero pooches to join our family of amazing blood donors so we can continue to provide this service for our patients. Could your pooch have what it takes to be a blood donor?

Blood donor heroes are:
🐾 Healthy
🐾 Weigh at least 25kg
🐾 Between 1-8 years of age
🐾 Up-to-date with vaccinations, worming, and other preventatives
🐾 Has not had a blood transfusion previously
🐾 Has a calm, trusting temperament
🐾 Be capable of lying calmly for 5-10 minutes

It's !

Show us a pic of your doggo hard at work with you.

Whether you need a helping hand guarding the filing cabinet, licking envelopes, fetching the hammer, or just warming your lap… most would agree every workplace could use some doggy delight. This idea may sound barking mad, but studies show pets lower stress and anxiety, and bond teams. So having your excited furry companion along to ease the busy workday is a win-win for all!

🌟 Meet Dr. Danielle Huston, our extraordinary Clinical Director at our Animal Emergency Service Tanawha hospital!

With an impressive 15.5 years in the industry, Danielle's passion for veterinary care began at the tender age of 5, fuelled by a dancing dream crushed by her mum's playful comparison to an "elephant trumpeting across the stage." 🐘 Despite this, her love for animals persisted, leading her to become the incredible leader she is today.

At home, Danielle's furry and feathery family includes cats Delilah, Theodore, and Zachary, dogs Penelope, Tallulah, and Rupert, and a charming flock of chickens named Jacqueline-Elizabeth, Clarice, Beatrice, Winifred, Edna, and Dorothy. πŸ±πŸΆπŸ”

Danielle's favourite part of her job? Making a tangible difference in the lives of pets and people on the Sunshine Coast. 🌞 The variety of cases keeps her learning every day, and she relishes the opportunity to nurture her team's growth and development, just as she nurtures her patients. 🌱 Her deep love for her team is evident in the way she listens to the nurses' interactions with patients, marveling at the care and compassion they demonstrate.
Beyond her dedication to veterinary care, Danielle harbors a secret passion for dinosaurs πŸ‰ β€” a delightful fun fact that adds an extra layer of charm to her already extraordinary persona!

Thank you, Danielle, for your commitment to the welfare of animals and for being an inspiring leader in our community! πŸ’–

Meet Rex 🐾

Rex, a black Labrador, was our very first patient last week. He came in drooling and experiencing ataxia, he received immediate and expert care from Dr Sophie Plasto, with nurses Abby and Tracey assisting. Throughout the night, Dr Cristina Horton and nurse Lauren, supported by our dedicated CCR team, ensured Rex was comfortable and well-cared for.

We’re happy to report that Rex was greatly spoiled during his stay with us and went home much improved the following morning. A big thank you to Rex’s family for trusting us with his care and to our incredible team for their hard work and dedication.

Vital signs to monitor include:
🐾 Their general appearance
🐾 Their state of consciousness
🐾 Their pulse
🐾 Their breathing
🐾 Their gum colour
🐾 Their capillary refill time (CRT)

This Thursday is Anzac Day, a day of remembrance, a day we honour those who served and gave their lives for their country. It is also a day we remember the animals who stood alongside these men and women and risked their lives.

Animals have always contributed to the war effort. From carrying food, water, medical supplies and messages, to detecting explosive devices, tracking fallen soldiers, providing companionship, and comfort as therapy animals to our armed forces.

While the red poppy honours the men and women who served and continue to serve, the purple poppy honours the animals who served and will serve with them.

Should you be in need of a vet this Anzac Day we'll be open 24 hours.

We are so excited to start our Climate Care journey with our friends at Vets for Climate Action.

We are so excited to start our Climate Care journey with our friends at Vets for Climate Action.

Here at Animal Emergency Australia we believe that healthy animals need a healthy climate, so our practice is excited to announce that we are taking part in the Climate Care Program. Developed by our friends at Vets for Climate Action, the program will help us to learn how we can make our practice environmentally sustainable.

Over the next few months, we’ll be learning about:
β€’ better recycling practises to minimise our landfill
β€’ protecting our precious water resource
β€’ energy use and efficiency
β€’ renewable energy
β€’ how to make better buying decisions, and
β€’ chemicals, toxins and pharmaceuticals.

This is one way we are doing our bit to be more sustainable and help to halt climate change.

We’re looking forward to sharing our Climate Care journey with you and our Climate Champions are happy to answer any questions. In the meantime, we’d love to hear about actions you take in your own home and everyday life to be more environmentally friendly. Share below in the comments.
