Here is beautiful Molly, the cattle dog.
She was out running and came across a goanna. This is the result.
However, Goanna are generally not aggressive and generally choose to flee but will fight back if feeling threatened, chased or cornered. So when out in the bush it forest make sure to keep an eye on your fur baby. Dr Marta helped molly out and she is still super smiley ❤️

This cheeky little golden retriever came to see the Dr Marta today as mum had a sneaky suspicion he had ingested a sock!. 18 week old banjo came in today and we gave him an abundance of cuddles and pats before we made him regurgitate the contents from this mornings breakfast and as seen below we had sock-sess. After a quick recovery and close monitoring he was on his way home to his mum happy as a puppy can be, hopefully he learnt that socks are definitely not food 🐶🧦❗️

Gator presented to Dr CJ for excessive itching, rash, hair loss and lesions on his body.
Upon examination he was found to have a hotspot lesion and also flea allergy dermatitis.
Dad is very vigilant with flea prevention for all of his pets however was unsure if Gator may have vomited after his last dose of Bravecto. We recommend that owners closely watch their pets after preventative medications are given to ensure they have swallowed the treatment but also haven’t vomited within a few hours of the medication being administered.
Gator was given some medications to help heal his lesions and prevent further infection and will also be given another Bravecto dose to get rid of those nasty fleas!!
We hope Gator is feeling better very soon 🥰

Summer is a great time for spending more time outdoors with your pets, however there are some common summertime hazards to be aware of, to ensure your pets safety and health - especially during the festive season.
Heat stress occurs when the pet’s body overheats due to hot temperatures and excessive activity. Some pets can be more prone to suffering from heat stress, including the flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds, and those pets that are overweight or have long or heavy coats.
Tips to reduce the risk of heat stress are to exercise pets during the cool of the early morning or evening – this will also avoid walking your pet on hot pavement, which can lead to burnt paws, which can be an incredibly painful cause of lameness.
It is important to ensure that pets have access to fresh, cool water and a cool, shady place to rest, out of the sun during the heat of the day. Pets should also never be left inside vehicles, as the temperature inside cars can climb rapidly, leading to potentially fatal heatstroke.
Summertime also means that snakes, spiders and paralysis ticks may be more prevalent – which can mean an increased risk to your pet, and if affected, urgent veterinary attention is required. During warming weather, snakes may be active in areas of bushland or long grass, so take care when exercising your pet. The signs of snake bite can include weakness, wobbliness and collapse – and urgent veterinary attention is required. Spider bites can cause localised pain and irritation, however, the more venomous spiders such as red back spiders or funnel web spiders can cause neurological signs such as weakness and muscle tremors.
The upcoming festive period also reminds us to not feed certain food items to pets. If enjoying a barbeque or meal, don’t be tempted to feed leftovers to your pets. Onions can be toxic to pets, and fatty meat off-cuts can be a risk for pancreatitis – which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea in pets. Cooked bones can be a choking hazard and can also cause gut blockages and perforation. For more information on foods that should not be fed to dogs, view our article.
If you do need advice as to whether your pet needs veterinary attention, give your vet a call - they are best placed to let you know if your pets needs to see a veterinarian, and in many cases can save you from a lot of unnecessary worry. There are a few things to remember though; always try to plan ahead by making sure you have your preferred local veterinary practices number in a handy place and familiarise yourself with their opening times.
Importantly over the festive season remember that vets need a break as well, and subsequently, some local veterinary services may be reduced. "Veterinarians have not only faced the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic this year, but also continue to be affected by long-term workforce issues including low remuneration, poor mental wellness and an overall relative veterinary shortage due to high rates of attrition from the profession”, says Dr Warwick Vale, AVA President.
The Australian Veterinary Association is asking all pet owners to be thoughtful, respectful and patient towards veterinarians as they deliver the necessary care to your pets. Pet owners can assist both their pet and their vet by being prepared over the holiday period - by checking your local vet clinic’s opening hours, noting the location of your nearest after-hours emergency vet hospital, and in all cases - ringing ahead to alert the vet practice that you are on your way. Be prepared for longer than usual wait times at veterinary practices, particularly veterinary emergency hospitals as they will be busy over the festive season.

Can anyone guess what breed Whisper is??

Whisper was in recently to rid herself of a nasty mass that had grown and ulcerated on her chest under one of her front legs. Her leg was rubbing against the mass when she walked making it rather uncomfortable. Dr C-J worked her magic and the mass was removed in a flash!
Whisper showed us her gratitude with many kisses and cuddles and is recovering well.

We can’t wait to see you again soon Whisper ❤️

Well look at him now! Just over 4 months since he was 'nearly headless Bubba' he has the smallest scar to flaunt! Here's to many years and much less misadventure Bubba!

Happier than ever, look at that smile !

These 3 gorgeous African Grey siblings dropped by to meet Dr Stacey and the team today. 💕
They enjoyed some snuggles with our nurses and curiosity got the best of them when they decided to play peek-a-boo in our nurses shirts and hair & nibble some earrings and pens!
We can’t wait to watch them grow into highly intelligent and cheeky little birds. 🙊

Mischievous Miss Sparkle has spent her fair share of time with the team at Nambour Vet Surgery... After having a chopping board fall on her paw Sparkle learnt that knives aren't the only dangerous thing in the kitchen.

Our team worked hard splinting and stabilising her foot in order to heal Sparkles break without any invasive surgery. Just look at those amazing results.
You'll be happy to know a little cast hasn't hindered Sparkles’ adventures at all and it won't be long until she completely splint free!

Skittles is a 2 year old Rainbow Lorikeet who had presented to Dr Stacey recently as his owner had noticed some unusual behaviour had developed in the form of throwing his food around and eating a little less than usual. 🍏🥕🍓🥬🌽 Dr Stacey performed a health check and concluded that these wayward behaviours are related to the breeding season that is now upon us for many different bird species! 🐣 That certainly didn’t stop Skittles from showing off some dance moves and having a grand old chat!

This adorable little piggy is Van Gogh. He had a dental procedure performed under anaesthetic recently due to overgrowth of some of his teeth. During this procedure Dr CJ filed down the problematic teeth with a special dental instrument called a rasp. Van Gogh had been reluctant to eat and a bit flat prior to his dental but as you can see in the video he was feeling much better afterwards, so much so he was very keen to nibble down some food during his recovery. 🐹 🌾

Percy is a stunning Pekin Bantam Rooster. He definitely made his presence known while he visited to have a general anaesthetic and biopsy on a pesky lump with Dr Stacey.

Ziggy was bitten by a bee!
Ziggy was bitten by a bee!

The lumps that you can see in the video are hives and hives are a tell tale sign that your pet has been bitten by something. In this case, Ziggy was bitten by a bee! Some other signs are itching, swelling of the sting area, redness and diarrhoea. If you notice any of these signs, you should get down to us as quickly as possible. More serious signs are signs of anaphylactic shock which are... Trouble breathing Blue tint to mucous membranes (gums) Wheezing & Collapse Because anaphylaxis is a possability, you should bring your pet down as soon as a possible for treatment!

Bella came into see Dr Stacey to get a hormone implant. After the implant is inserted, the drug is released slowly and continuously at low doses over time. Dr Stacey is a very popular vet but did you know he also holds additional qualifications in Avian Medicine? In a nutshell, he’s super smart! 🎓 We’re lucky to have him & people travel long distances with their birds to see him!!👨‍⚕️ 🤗

Pug Happiness!! 😀

Nobody could ever express their excitement more than a pug. 😁😂

Handsome Cheeky wanted to remind all of his feathered and furry friends that visiting the vet isn’t so bad! 😆😁

Beautiful Mimi had a sleepover at the practice yesterday and the staff were smitten! 😍 They sure are getting into the spirit of Christmas!🎄😃
