Beautiful Yasmin is saving a life today by being a blood donor at Southern Highlands Vet Centre ❤️ greyhounds are ideal blood donors as most have negative blood types which makes them universal donors.
Yasmins sweet and gentle temperament helped make her donation run smoothly today. She’s definitely stolen the hearts of us all here!
Yasmin is available for adoption from Wingecarribee Animal Shelter
Thank you Yasmin and the wonderful staff at the shelter, we hope she finds her perfect forever home soon ✨✨✨

A Tawny Frogmouth presented to our clinic after being found in a front garden, unable to fly. Its mate was seen close by in the trees (they partner for life).
On physical exam no abnormalities were detected. Radiographs taken under general anaesthetic revealed no fractures or injuries. However there was evidence of a recent large meal. Unfortunately Tawny Frogmouths can suffer from secondary poisoning from mouse and rat baits which causes internal bleeding.
A blood test confirmed that the red blood cell count was normal, ruling out rodenticide poisoning.
A flight test later that day confirmed that this master of camouflage could indeed fly. A release was planned for dusk and the Tawny was released by the kind person who found him/her. The Tawny flew off without any problems. Feeling a bit lethargic and weighted down after a big meal is something we can all relate to!

We love when our clients come up with innovative ideas like this! A Bunnings straw hat became a very effective e-collar! 💚🐶

One of the most exciting times is the arrival of a new puppy 🐶 or kitten 🐱 and we know you want the very best for them🩷.

Their diet is very different to that of an adult. The first 6 to 12 months (depending on breed size) of their life is a crucial time for their developing immune system and growing bodies🐱🐶

Royal Canin has just released smaller bags of kitten and puppy dry food for you to buy, to trial the scientifically researched diet designed for young stomachs

Chat to your vet at your next appointment regarding the best diet for your new pet 🐶🐱

This beautiful male Spotted-tail quoll (Tiger quoll) came in this week after being found up a dead tree locally. These highly mobile animals are mainland Australia’s largest carnivorous marsupials and they can have a home range of over 3000 hectares.
Weighing just over 4kgs he was found to be in good health on physical exam. Radiographs were taken and a blood test performed. These were all normal so he will be released in the coming days. Thanks very much to Wingecarribee WIRES for all their care and also thanks to Vetnostics for their ongoing support. It was a special experience to be up close to this elusive unique species

The team at Southern Highlands Vet Centre takes great pride in providing outstanding veterinary care for all our patients, large and small. This includes Australian native wildlife. We see a large number of wildlife patients. Our wildlife patients are treated just like any other patient. We examine them, take radiographs, provide fluids and pain relief, and in some cases even perform blood tests to help with diagnosis. In short we aim to provide them with the same level of care as our domestic patients.
Here are some of our patients in the past few months. Stay tuned for further updates regarding two Wedge-tailed eagles that we have released recently
