Today is International Day of the Dog! A day to celebrate "man's best friend" and all the wonderful relationships between humans and dogs of every size and every breed! Working dogs, pet dogs, big dogs, small dogs....we love them all. What is your dog doing today?

We love to help out with wildlife cases. This tiny sugar glider had a close encounter with a cat but a kind human rescued him. After a check up with us, he went to a wildlife carer for rehabilitation. You can help native wildlife by keeping your cats as indoors cats (talk to any of the team if you'd like advice on this). If your cats do go outside, please bring them in at night when wildlife like gliders are active.

Rupert the spaniel needed a dental treatment. We can't ask a dog to "open wide" for a full dental which can take an hour or more, so he was safely asleep while Dr Sunita probed each tooth looking for any cracks and damage. Any decayed teeth could be removed and each tooth was thoroughly cleaned of calculus and plaque which reduces the chance of dental disease and improves Rupert's overall health. Good boy Rupert!

How are rabbit and guinea pig teeth different from dogs, cats AND humans? Amazingly, these furry pets have teeth which keep growing throughout the animal's life. In the wild, natural foraging on a range of foods like grasses, twigs and leaves will help to prevent teeth from becoming overgrown. But pet rabbits and guinea pigs need a mixed diet with plenty of fibre to keep teeth in good shape. Pellets alone do not have enough fibre, so make sure your furry friend has plenty of good quality hay of various types, as well as a range of greens - fibrous herb sprigs, crispy lettuce and crunchy celery. Fruit should only be offered as an occasional treat. Make sure your rabbits and guinea pigs have regular dental check ups with us to ensure teeth are well aligned and healthy. FREE dental check ups for your pets in August - phone 6360 3071 for an appointment or book online! https://mulberrylanevet.com.au/make-a-booking

Buddy came to see us for a full health check - blood tests, xrays and ultrasounds. A cuddle with Vet Nurse Chelsea made him feel much better!

Worried about going to the dentist? We can help! Suli is a 4 yr old Bernese Mountain dog who is a bit anxious about going to the vet. He had developed some mild dental disease and needed his teeth to be thoroughly cleaned to prevent further dental problems and keep him in good health. Our vets dispensed a mild sedative for Suli to have at home before his appointment. Once at Mulberry Lane he was anaesthetised, to allow Dr Anna to check and clean each tooth.
The close up photo shows Suli's teeth after the procedure, once the discoloured plaque had been removed and shows his healthy teeth and gums.

We had the joy of meeting 2 little orphan joeys. They are Eastern Greys and 6 months old, but still need so much attention from their human "mum". They are being looked after by a wildlife carer and need feeding with special Roo milk every 4 hours. They spend most of their time snuggled up in cotten tote bags which act like a pouch. But they do have short periods out of the "pouch" for exercise, to help the muscles in their very long legs develop. Caring for wildlife is very hard work - thank you to all our local wildlife carers.

We had a new trainee receptionist today. Daisy is only a year old, but she learned fast. She was friendly and helpful, and paid close attention to where the snack box is. Good girl Daisy!

Can you help Biscuit?

ADOPTION PENDING 🥰

🐾 Biscuit- 2 years old

Male, Moodle x Pug

This little man sleeps well in his crate of a night. Walks well on lead, doesn’t pull and loves his baths very much.

Biscuit is a super loyal dog and loves to be around his hoomans and other dogs. He can get a little excited and jumpy so would suit a family with older children. Biscuit would need ongoing training as he is still only young.

If you’d like to adopt Biscuit, please send the page a private message, for an adoption application form 😊

$500 desexed, microchipped, flea & wormed and vaccinations up to date.

Last weekend, the Mulberry Lane team hosted a dental training workshop. We invited vets and vet nurses from Cowra, Blayney and Orange to join us, and together, had a fantastic time with Dr Nicole Hoskins from Melbourne. We learned more about dental anatomy, dental care and equipment while improving our practical skills in digital Xrays, cleaning techniques and extractions. Great to join with colleagues from across the Central West to learn and improve skills together!

Please note we will be CLOSED this morning Saturday 13th July for an "all team" training day. Emergency cover will be available for the pets of our regular clients - if your pet needs help please phone the "emergencies only" number which you were given in your new clients folder.

A yellow tailed black cockatoo was brought to us, unable to fly. Possibly hit by a car, this beautiful bird was large (60cms) and needed very careful handling due to the light and fragile skeleton, a characteristic of all birds. We also have to keep our fingers away from that big beak which is strong enough to crunch up pine cones! To give cocky a full examination, he was sedated and you can see Vet nurse Chloe using an oxygen mask to administer sedative gas. The cockatoo was found to have an injured wing and, after treatment, was sent to a wildlife carer for rehabilitation.

Poppy brought her favourite humans to puppy classes with Dr Luci! Isn't she gorgeous?
Poppy is a 4 month old Golden retriever x Cocker spaniel with the softest fluffiest ears. She had fun with a licki mat, exploring, sniffing and meeting a big adult dog called Bear, all in a safe and controlled environment. Her humans learned about puppy behaviour, health and nutrition and had the chance to ask lots of questions! Puppy classes are fun for humans and pups alike - call us to book in, if you are planning on bring a new pup into your family!

Arthritis hurts. Don’t dismiss a limp with “ he’s just getting old”. A monthly injection, medication or just switching to a diet which supports healthy joints are steps which can transform your pets life! Book an arthritis check up for your pet today!

Last Sunday we introduced a spiky echidna who was brought to us to be checked over. Good news - after Xrays and a night in hospital with us, he went off to Taronga Western Plains wildlife centre for medication and monitoring. And has now been released back into suitable habitat!
Did you know that Echidna have lovely red fur on their underside? The spikes are incredibly strong but only cover the back of the animal - you can see the furry tummy in this photo of our echidna during his Xray.

Donito is a cute chihuahua who has been to see Dr Luci - like many of his breed, he is a real character, with a big attitude in a little body. He has decided that he likes Dr Luci now, as she handles him very gently and gives him treats!
Donito is 8 years young but recently developed some signs of arthrtis. He was becoming less mobile, refusing to jump up and was even a bit upset when touched. His caring owners have made sure he has regular checkups and after an anti-arthritis injection he is already feeling much better - more active and less lameness! Arthritis medication can be lifechanging for your pet. Talk to any of the team if you have concerns about your pet's mobility. Good boy Donito!

The weather on Friday is forecast to be bitterly cold - the Bureau of Meterology say it will be the coldest day of the year so far. Please watch out for your pets. All animals need shelter from the wind chill, and a warm bed. Older pets are vulnerable and what worked for them last year may not be so suitable this year, as pets age much faster than humans do. Cold weather can bring out the first signs of arthritis too - stiffness, refusing to jump or even being snappy when touched can all be signs your pet is suffering the pain of arthritis. Speak to us if you have any concerns about your pet.
