Meet Rocco.
Rocco’s leg was severely fractured during a run in with a car and wouldn’t heal. A dearly loved pet, the decision was made to give Rocco a second chance with amputation.

A 2 hour surgery involved carefully ligating major vessels and blocking major nerves. The femur was cut proximally. Muscles were stitched and skin was sutured over the stump.

Rocco will heal well and lead a happy active life.

Dogs do remarkably well post amputation, especially hindlimb amputation. Within a few weeks, Rocco will seem unaware of his minor disability.

A beautiful raw message from our client

Thankyou so much for your kindness and support and know that it is greatly appreciated and I will forever be grateful for the way you helped us in this difficult decision. 🙏 💖

This morning when I woke and walked to the kitchen I swore that I heard your meow… the sound I’ve heard every morning for almost 20 years. I waited to feel you rub against my leg as I shush you, telling you not to wake everyone up, only to be meowed at louder and you trip me over, walking between my legs as I stumble, quietly swearing, to quickly get you food, only to have 5 mins of peace before you follow me around as I prepare for the day ahead. Telling you I wish you would find something better to do and that no you weren’t getting anymore food. Going on to tell you all the things I had to get through today as you listened and meowed softly back.. purring as I stoked your back and scratched your favourite spot along your chin. I spent today vacuuming up your fur which was everywhere, washing blankets, your bowls and the mark you left where you would rub your chin on the kitchen cupboard. I could see you curled up in your favourite spot on the lounge or on the veranda in the sun. You gave me so many memories to treasure, you where always found near the person who needed you the most. Though you had an indifference to babies and young people, you grew to love my babies as they got older, as they did you. You spent this last week jumping up and loving anyone who sat down. I’m sorry I couldn’t let you have alittle more time or let you tell me you where ready…as the gifts you have given me should of allowed for that at least. Please know that I loved you so very much, appreciate you and feel blessed to have experience all that you had to give. I miss you annoying the s**t out of me already but pray that you are finally at peace. Thankyou my Shadow ❤️ I also want to thank Brett and staff at Palmwoods Veterinary Clinic for making such as heartbreaking decision alittle easier. If you are a local pet owner.. you won’t find a more passionate, supportive and more caring team of amazing people. R.I.P Shadow ✨🙏🐾✨

I'm very sorry to learn of the passing of George Miller, who directed 'The Man from Snowy River'. George was very supportive of and helpful to me during the preparation and shooting of the film. I learnt a great deal from him about acting for the camera.
As a first time feature director on 'Snowy' he was at times under a great deal of pressure, but he once made a promise to me that the movie was called 'The Man from Snowy River' and that's what it was going to be about. He kept that promise and his vision was wonderfully well realised. The movie is still so much loved.
Before the shoot we spent some hours together in the high country in preparation for this iconic photo he shot with his still camera during "magic hour".
I'll always be grateful to George for his fine work in the movie that changed my life.
RIP dear George.
