🐾 Maple's Big Bone Adventure 🐾

Meet Maple, our brave 13-week-old Poodle mix who gave the team at AEC Woolloongabba quite the scare this weekend! This little adventurer managed to swallow an entire lamb bone - about half her body length! 😱
We immediately admitted Maple for emergency surgery, deeply concerned about potential stomach perforation. But sometimes miracles happen in veterinary medicine! When we opened her up, we discovered her stomach was remarkably intact with no significant damage.
The surgery went smoothly, the bone was successfully removed, and our sweet Maple is now back home with her grateful family! 🏠💕
This is a perfect reminder to keep a close eye on what our curious puppies get into. Maple's story had a happy ending, but bones can be extremely dangerous for our furry friends.
Welcome to the world, little Maple - may your future adventures be much safer! ❤️

🌟 Wildlife Rescue Alert! 🌟

Last night, a kind-hearted member of the public brought in a little traveller in trouble, an echidna found in the middle of the road. Thankfully, after a thorough check by our team, we’re happy to report he had no injuries at all! 🦔💚

He’s since been collected by local wildlife carers and will soon be released back into the wild to continue his journey.

A big thank you to the Good Samaritan who brought him in your quick thinking helped keep him safe. He’s now healthy, happy, and back on track! 🙌

🐾 ❤️ Meet Pip ❤️ 🐾
Pip was a recent visitor to AEC Woolloongabba after her owner had found she ingested 25g of rat bait.
As rat baits are an anticoagulant, left untreated Pip’s blood may have stopped clotting which could lead to life-threatening bleeding.
However, Pip’s owners acted quickly & got her to us. We induced emesis & had her empty her tummy, with very brightly coloured results 🤮
Pip went home that evening, quite happy with herself, completely unaware of the worry she had caused her owner.

❤️ AEC Woolloongabba needs your old newspapers please ❤️
As cute as it may be, its not for the dogs to read, its to line the cages of our wildlife ward for the many native creatures we see at the clinic & that have a little stay with us until they can be collected by the wildlife ambulance.
If you have any newspapers lying around please bring them to the clinic at 14 Cleveland Street, Stones Corner any time 24/7.

We want to let you know that our clinic will be closed from 6pm on Saturday, 31st May due to current staffing limitations.

While we remain deeply committed to providing afterhours emergency care for pets in Noosa and surrounding areas, like many veterinary clinics across Australia, we are navigating a national vet shortage. Please know we’re actively recruiting to expand our availability and return to more consistent overnight care.

🔹 This weekend’s hours:

Friday: Open until 10pm

Saturday: 8am – 6pm

Sunday: 8am – 8pm

Monday: Open 24 hours

If you need emergency assistance outside of these times, please call our regular number (07) 5353 7005 and you will be automatically transferred to the nearest available emergency vet service.

Our EEC team will keep our page updated with the latest opening hours, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to rebuild our team.

❤️ With gratitude,
The AEC Noosa Team

AEC Woolloongabba has recently hosted nurses from all over SEQLD to share their knowledge on CPR.
Two of our nurse managers, Kirstie & Paula, happily shared what they have learned over their careers about emergency response & CPR.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves & got plenty of practical experience on our CPR dummies.

🐾❤️This is the face of regrets!❤️🐾
Poor Indie presented to AEC Woolloongabba after eating nearly 300g of left-over Easter eggs.
As this amount of chocolate was going to be quite a problem for little Indie, we had no choice but to induce emesis to empty her tummy.
The moral of the story is… keep your dog safe by eating all the chocolate!
Best excuse ever!

Due to ongoing staffing challenges, our clinic will be closing early this evening at 8:00 PM.

Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to support you and your pets during our peak periods. However, as much as they are committed to providing care, it is not sustainable for them to be in the clinic around the clock. We greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support.

If you require urgent veterinary assistance after 8:00 PM, please call 5353 7005, and you will be connected to the nearest emergency clinic.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause

🩸 AEC Woolloongabba needed the services of one of our regular VIP’s this week, for a blood donation 🩸
Ruairi answered the call & helped us save a life again.
His gentle giant nature has him a favourite with the team & we make sure he gets lots of love & treats while he is with us. Here nurse Paula holds him still while Dr Naomi examines him to ensure he is in great health before the donation.
He also goes home with a $100 Petbarn voucher to ensure he is suitably spoiled.
If you would like to see if your dog can join our blood donor program, check out the criteria below & then give us a call on 3456 0500.
