Trigger warning: Pet Loss and Euthanasia 🌈💕

Saying goodbye is always a difficult and upsetting situation. We do our utmost to have things run smoothly and peacefully when the time comes.

To help facilitate this we have a beautiful candle and sign we pop out on the front desk to advise all our other visitors that this is taking place.

We thought it would be worthwhile to put the information out there and let everyone know so if you happen to come past or be in the clinic and you see this sign and candle burning, we kindly ask for your consideration and respect at that time.

We want to allow each and every person who has to go through this the time and space to grieve and feel how ever they need to with out disruption.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding during those difficult times. 🌈💕

It new, its shiny and it can look right through you! 👀

Welcome our brand-new DENTAL X-RAY! 📸

It has been a longer process than expected but we can finally happily announce we can now offer dental x-rays.

Dental x-rays are an amazing tool to help with the pathology of your pet’s mouth. Although we can see the outside of the teeth, like humans there can be issues under the surface causing our loved companions’ grief.

While dental x-rays are currently not compulsory, we do highly recommend them to help us make the most informed decision we can when dealing with your pet’s dental health.

If you want to know more about this service or to find out if your pet needs a dental, we offer FREE dental health checks. During these appointments we can discuss all options on offer for your furry friends dental needs.

Book online via our website or by calling the clinic on 9879 2803. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍🐕🐩

Spring has sprung and we are starting to see fledgling birds out and about. 🐦‍⬛🦜

Fledgling birds are young birds that have left the nest and are developing their skills to survive in their natural environment.

Although fledgling birds may look lost or out of sorts, most of the time they will have their parent birds watching out for them from trees nearby until they learn to fly properly.

We recommend leaving fledgling birds alone to do their own thing unless in immediate danger from things such as dogs, cats, foxes, other birds, roads or anything that could cause immediate harm to them.

If you come across any bird that you’re unsure of or worried about the best thing to do is contact your local vet clinic or a wildlife help line. Ideally taking photos of the bird for identification and ageing is also recommended so you can be advised the best course of action to take.

Did you know that cats don’t pant like dogs do?! 🐈‍⬛🐈

Unlike dog’s cats don’t pant or breath through their mouths typically. Open mouth breathing as it is known can actually be a real cause for concern in our feline friends.

There can be many reasons for cats to open mouth breath ranging from stress, asthma or even more concerning issues like pneumonia or heart disease.

Often, we link cats 🐱 and dogs 🐶 as they are our 2 most commonly owned domestic animals however, they do have many large differences and the way they breath or show distress when breathing is one of them.

If you notice your cat open mouth breathing it is always best to get them checked out by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Although it may be something easily managed or not of major concern it is best to find out what you’re dealing with and how best to treat them. 😺

Oh no, the dog ate my scrunchie! 😧😬

That is what we had one of our lovely clients saying after we removed this very soggy scrunchie and paper straw that had become stuck in her poor pup’s intestines!

Rufus the 16 year old Jack Russell has been known to steal the occasional odd item but a scrunchie certainly is a different one! Safe to say it turned out to be one of the most expensive scrunchie his lovely mum has ever purchased. 😥

After surgery and a bit of time recovering we are pleased to report Rufus is going very well and is back to his happy self. Hopefully Rufus will stick to the dog food and won’t be stealing anything else from his mum and causing her any more stress! 🤞

This is Gabby.🥰

Gabby has been coming to us for many years now and in the last few months during one of her routine blood checks it was discovered she had a rather high blood glucose reading of 22.3 😓. (our in-clinic reference range is from 3.9-8.3!)

After seeing the high result and with additional blood glucose checks Gabby was diagnosed with diabetes.

Thankfully we have been able to treat Gabby with twice daily insulin shots and have the diabetes under control at this stage. 😍

Gabby can often be a bit of a fiery girl in hospital, which may not be surprising to those who know a thing or two about our much-loved ginger girl cats. However, she is slowly learning to tolerate the glucose checks and has even let her guard down enough to have a small snack while she stays with us

Rosie’s Journey: From Diagnosis to Recovery ❤️‍🩹

Rosie came to us feeling unwell, having lost weight and with a poor appetite. After running blood tests, X-rays, and an ultrasound, we discovered fluid in her abdomen—a concerning finding.

A feeding tube was placed to support her nutrition, and we sent off a PCR test for FIP. Rosie spent six days in hospital receiving close monitoring, fluids, and nutritional support while we awaited results.

As suspected, the test came back positive for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a serious viral disease caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus. Once considered untreatable and fatal, recent advancements have led to effective antiviral treatments.

With four months of medication and dedicated care from both our team and Rosie’s loving owner, we’re thrilled to share that Rosie is now recovered and thriving.
