These two sweet & adorable goats need a loving home. They are 5 years old, both desexed males without horns and are partial to a bit of lantana. They would need a well fenced paddock. If you can’t live without these goats please give us a call. Cheers Mullumvets 66843818
Worms worms worms!
Barber's pole worm and other intestinal parasites are a huge problem for our farm animals. Cappuchino the goat came in on death's door markedly anaemic with dangerously low blood protein levels - see all the thousands of worm eggs found in her faecal sample. She had two young kids at foot too. With appropriate drenching and lots of other supportive care, Cappuchino has made a full recovery! The Owl & The PussyCat Farm Animal Sanctuary did a fantastic job nursing her back to health.

With all the rainy weather lately we have been seeing a lot of horses come down with hoof abscesses. This is one of the most common reasons for severe lameness in a horse 🐴
It is treated by draining the pus from the foot. An experienced practitioner (typically veterinarian or farrier) does this by finding defects on the sole of the hoof, then paring them down with a hoof knife to find the pocket of pus. Often application of poultice dressings is also required, which draws pus out from deep inside the hoof. Pain relief is another hugely important part of treatment. Our veterinarians can also discuss predisposing factors with you such as inappropriate diet or paddock environment, laminitis, or possible underlying hormonal diseases.
The 1st video shows the severity of the lameness that is caused by an abscess and the two middle pictures show the drainage hole created by 1 of our vets, the last picture shows the discharge that comes out of the abscess on a poultice of 1 of our patients here at Mullumbimby Vet Clinic.
If your horse is having trouble getting around call us on ☎02) 6684 3818

❗❗❗ EXCITING NEWS FOR ALL DOG OWNERS ❗❗❗
There is now an injection that protects your dog from deadly tick paralysis for a whole year! It also prevents fleas for the whole year too 📆
The product is called Bravecto Quantum. Many of you will be familiar with Bravecto already, as they make dog chewable and cat spot-on tick preventions. Even though this injection lasts a full year, the actual medication dose is lower than that within the 3-month chew, thanks to it's slow-release crystal formulation 💎
Tick season for 2024 is already upon us - we have treated multiple animals this month. In Australia, the paralysis tick is one of the most dangerous parasites with just one female adult tick bite capable of causing life threatening illness or death to your beloved pet 🐶
As a reminder, signs of tick paralysis include:
• Weakness in hind legs, progressing to all legs
• Coughing, gagging, or vomiting
• Difficulty breathing
• Changes in the sound of their bark
If you believe your dog is exhibiting symptoms of tick paralysis contact
us immediately 🏥
Prevention is much better than cure! Our team of vets can now give you peace of mind all year long with 12 months of flea and paralysis tick protection in just one dose 😁

Simba has always enjoyed lounging in the sun, however this unfortunately caused her to develop skin cancers (squamous cell carcinoma) on the hairless tips of her ears, which kept bleeding and causing her discomfort. Even though she was 15 years old, she came in for surgery and anaesthesia which she handled really well. We are pleased to report Simba is now a happy cat again, and still beautiful outside and in! 😸

How is it possible to be this cute?? 😍
Sweet Miss Ollie, an 11yr old Maltese Terrier cross Poodle, was in for a dental clean under anaesthetic. We cleaned her teeth and did a thorough check of her mouth. We found she had fractured both of her first upper incisor teeth below the gumline, so we removed these teeth. Now she can go back to scoffing dehydrated chicken treats with fresh breath and a pain-free mouth!
☎ Call us on (02) 6684 3818 for a free nurse dental check or dental procedure.
We regularly see chickens 🐔 here at Mullum Vet Clinic, for everything from worms to injuries to reproductive issues including egg peritonitis or being egg bound. Did you know it's advised to give your chickens treatment a few times yearly for external and internal parasites, as a routine measure to keep them in tip top health? Call us on 02 6684 3818 to get advice or make an appointment.
Two of our star nurses, Amelia and Mia, have officially completed their Certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing! Both nurses have gone from strength to strength in the years they have worked at Mullum Vet Clinic and we wanted to give them a big Congratulations for all their study and hard work! Our nurses learn all about anaesthesia, x-rays, medications, animal handling, dentistry and many other areas. Well done ladies!! 🎊🎉
We love helping take care of your whole furry family; no matter the age, temperament or species! Here we have Lily, Pippi, Florence and Ranga who were found by their owner sitting just like this soaking up some rays. Aren't they just completely gorgeous 🌞
Kelsie came in for her first ever vet visit recently!
She is a rescue dog with very little socialization, so was definitely a bit nervous, but her owner is doing a great job giving her love and training and socialization, and we made sure to be extra gentle and patient with her.
We hope to see sweet Kelsie again soon (but not too soon!).
🐍This may just be the smallest patient we've ever treated!
A gorgeous green tree snake weighing in at a solid 5 grams! It was brought to us lethargic with multiple abrasions over its body. We administered warming, fluids, pain relief and antibacterial wound cream. We hope the little guy makes it!
Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers at WIRES and Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers who help rehabilitate our wildlife back to health after a veterinary assessment.
This is Romeo, who we dub father of the year!! He has a wonderful temperament and has sired some beautiful puppies. He is currently taking a break from parenting however (wouldn't that be nice I hear some of you say!!) and was in today for his Suprelorin injection - which is a hormonal implant which temporarily renders him infertile. The implant lasts about 6 months then he will be able to get back to getting busy! If you have doubts about whether to get your dog castrated, this implant can be a good choice as an alternative to surgical castration, providing a non-permanent means to prevent unwanted pregnancies and control unwanted sexual hormonal behaviors of male dogs.
His gorgeous son Humpty was in to get a lump checked too. Luckily for lumpy Humpty it was a benign lump and nothing to worry about.
This young bull, affectionately named Furry Face, had a limp that just wasn't getting better. We had a look at the hoof and found a fleshy mass between the claws, indicating likely footrot. A course of antibiotics should get this fella moving again!
All our vets at Mullumbimby Vet Clinic are versed in both large and small animals.

❗️❗️PARVO WARNING ❗️❗️
There is currently a big spike of Parvovirus cases among dogs in our local area - in particular around Ballina, Lismore and Goonellabah.

Please ☎ 02) 66843818 to check your dog's vaccinations are up to date or to make an appointment.
Meet Brave Percy!
Dr Bec was called to help deliver Percy one night in October last year. Percy was a very big calf and his mum needed some help to deliver him.
This included an episiotomy where incisions are made to help provide more room to deliver the calf. Two days after he was born, a neighbor took Percy in and started to hand bottle feed him milk.
After about a week, Percy became very ill with swollen joints, a slow suck reflex, rattly breathing and a cough. We were unsure if he would survive. Dr Bec started him on long acting antibiotics, pain relief/anti- inflammatories and vitamin supplements. After several weeks he started to improve.
Last week, we received this gorgeous picture of Percy and were informed he is happy and healthy. Big thanks to Percy's dedicated owner.
We love hearing stories like this.
Couldn't you look at this cute little face all day long! 🥰
Little Evie here enjoyed her tidy up with our groomer Ronnie.

❗WARNING : GRAPHIC VIDEO❗ If you've got a strong stomach then have a gander at this! This sweet shelter kitty came to us with a large swelling over the flank. Under anaesthetic we lanced the abscess (very satisfying! immediate relief!), thoroughly flushed it with saline, cut out necrotic tissue, created drainage and stitched her up. In addition to some pain relief, we are continuing to flush the wound daily to encourage proper healing. She is doing really well post-operatively so far 🥰
🎄🎅Jasper, Pippa, Teddy & Tyson are very excited for Christmas! 🎅🎄 We wish everyone a happy Festive Season and New Year
