Great to meet with Geoff Nyssen in the lead-up to the My Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival! Dr Theresa, our lead vet at Mount Eliza, joined a fantastic group of guests at the sponsors' launch.

We warmly welcome Drs. Brian, Gary, and Ke Quing, who joined our team in February as part of our new graduate program.

Over the next 12 months, they will rotate through our GP clinic and specialist hospital - where they will gain experience in emergency consultations, critical care, internal medicine, and surgery.

This program will allow them to experience both general and referral practices during their formative year, and we’re excited to have them onboard.

We are so pleased to introduce you to the beautiful Django. This precious boy has come a long way since his accident, when he fell off a moving Ute.

He was brought to us by Starting Over Dog Rescue (SODR) with extensive skin wounds to the front aspect of all four limbs, his face, and his body.

The wounds on one of his front legs were so severe that they extended through all the soft tissue structures, including ligaments, and into his wrist joint.

He was initially anaesthetised every two days to assess his wounds and change his dressings. It took a month before his wounds healed enough to leave his dressings off.

Our Mornington GP and Emergency & Referral teams are involved in Django’s treatment and ongoing care.

Pictured is Django with nurse Caz, two months on from his ordeal. We're thrilled with his recovery, made possible by the fantastic work of SODR.

SODR always needs support from foster carers, volunteer transporters, families to adopt dogs, and donations to save lives.

You may have seen recent news about the closure of HomeSafeID, a national microchip supplier used by vets and animal shelters for years. With this shutdown, any microchips registered with HomeSafeID will no longer be searchable unless their details are updated to a new registry. This means lost pets with these chips may not be able to be reunited with their owners.

How You Can Check & Update Your Pet’s Microchip Registry:

Visit www.petaddress.com.au to check your pet’s microchip details.

If your pet is registered with HomeSafeID, transfer their details to a new registry as soon as possible. Options include:

• Australasian Animal Registry (AAR) – www.aar.org.au / (02) 9704 1450
• Central Animal Records (CAR) – www.car.com.au / (03) 9706 3187
• Global Micro Animal Registry – www.globalmicro.com.au / (02) 8338 9063
• Petsafe – www.petsafe.com.au / (02) 8850 6800

This is also a great opportunity for you to check your details are up to date, no matter which provider you use.

🎤🐱 A purr-fect reminder from our senior cat correspondent Uggboot the Persian and Nurse Cornelia!

📰 Did you know that indoor cats can still be at risk for certain diseases? That's why keeping their vaccinations up to date is best for their health, even if they aren't exposed to outdoor animals.

Some viruses can be transmitted through open windows, or we can even bring them in on our shoes!

Not sure when your cat’s next vaccine is due or where to begin? Contact us today to learn more about how you can protect your feline family and yourself from parasites. 🦠💛

Heat stress, heat stroke, and what you can do to save your pet! In situations of heat stress, taking five minutes to run tap water over your pet can help save their life. A big thanks to Dr Clara, Emergency & Critical Care Registrar, for sharing this vital information.

The lead vet at our Mount Eliza clinic, Dr Theresa Suckling, poses with three adorable rescue kittens: Scott, Eric, and Professor X. Affectionately named after Marvel characters, they are approximately 12 weeks old and have been lovingly cared for by Theresa and her partner Vincent since their rescue.

Professor X has a spinal condition that prevents him from using his back legs. He enjoys regular hydrotherapy at home with Theresa and is assisted by a custom 3D-printed wheelchair specially made for him by Vincent.

Currently, all three kittens are available for adoption through . They are looking for a forever home where they can thrive and bring joy to their new family.

🩺Vets of our future.🙌🎓 Did you know? We are a placement hospital for final-year University of Melbourne (UoM) veterinary students. They spend two weeks with us, gaining hands-on experience in one of our five clinics and either our specialist practice or emergency care service under the supervision of our vets.

We see around 150 students through our Pen Vet hospitals each year. That’s eight students each week!

The program has been running since 2022, and we are proud to contribute to their education in a clinical environment.

Wishing the students pictured here - Abbey, Navin, Mackenzie, Beth, and Jess- and all the UoM fourth-year students an exciting, inspiring year ahead.

Hot weather warning: A message from our vets!

As we experience the upcoming hot weather, it’s important that all pet owners are on alert for their pets' well-being.

Heat stress can affect pets in an instant. It’s an emergency situation and can be fatal.

▪️ Avoid exercising your pet in the heat; walk in the early mornings or late evenings when temperatures are cooler.
▪️ Before walking on pavement, asphalt, or concrete, test how hot the surface is by placing your hand on the surface for 5 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet.
▪️ Make sure they have a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area with access to plenty of fresh drinking water. On very hot days, this might mean moving them inside.
▪️ Never leave pets unattended in hot cars.

Signs of heat stress may include:

▪️ Salivation
▪️ Difficulty breathing
▪️ Bright red gums
▪️ Collapse

So, keep a close eye on your pet companions, and if you are concerned your pet may be suffering from heat stress, contact us immediately at 5979 9600.

We are experiencing many pets admitted to our clinics and emergency hospital due to snake bites.

If your pet is bitten, we do not need to know the species of snake to be able to treat your pet, so please leave the snakes alone and head to the vet immediately.

Today, we assisted a wedgetail eagle which was found in a paddock and unable to fly. We anesthetised the bird to perform a physical examination and rule out fractures. Blood tests revealed that the eagle was anaemic and likely hadn’t eaten for a few days. We administered pain relief and fluids before transporting him to the veterinary department at Healesville Animal Sanctuary, which has a specialised raptor rehabilitation facility for ongoing care.

We wish this magnificent boy the very best of luck in getting well.

The work done by both our Peninsula Vet Care Mornington and Emergency & Referral teams was wonderful.
