Just look at this happy face! 🐱💛

Tiger and his brother Quicksilver were all purrs during their visit, and it’s no surprise why! We came to them! So there were no stressful car rides, loud waiting rooms, or unfamiliar smells. Just a calm, comfy check-up in their favourite spots at home.❤️‍🩹

That’s the beauty of our mobile van service — care that comes to you.🚑🫶🏻

🐴 Guess who trotted into our consult room? Definitely wasn’t a big dog!… but a mini pony named Ted! 🐾

We’ve seen a lot of long faces in clinic, but this one took the cake — and maybe a few carrots too. 🥕😄

Our tiny equine friend was in for a blood test rechecking his insulin levels, but needless to say, he turned quite a few heads in the waiting room. Even the big dogs weren’t sure what to make of him!

Just another day at the clinic where anything can happen 🤷🏼‍♀️ and apparently, anyone can walk in on four legs. 💼🐶🐴

❕ GASTROSCOPY DAY ❕

🔜 Wednesday the 18th of June, 2025

Gastric ulcers are lesions found in the mucosa of a horse's stomach, which can vary in size, number, and severity. These ulcers develop when the physiochemical barrier that typically protects the stomach tissue is compromised due to prolonged exposure to stomach acid.
Gastric ulcers are relatively common, with estimates suggesting that 50-90% of horses experience gastric ulceration. 🤯
The only dependable method to diagnose gastric ulcers is through a Gastroscopy.

The scoping day will take place at Luucan Equine Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre, located at:
236 Munbilla Road, Kalbar, 4309.

Appointments will start at 9 am, with each session lasting half an hour per horse.
The cost for the scoping procedure is $150.00 per horse.
This fee includes sedation, the gastroscope, and video recording.

Overnight stabling at Luucan is available for $44.00 per horse. Please inform our staff at the time of booking if you need this service. 🐴

Full payment is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable.

For inquiries, please contact the clinic at 54672277 📞

When it comes to herd fertility, your bull does 80% of the work – so make sure he’s up to the job.🐂

🧪 Fertility testing and sound bull selection are essential to maximise conception rates, shorten joining periods, and improve calving outcomes.
Even healthy-looking bulls can have hidden issues that affect performance.

Our very own Dr. Dave will be participating in this information day aimed at educating and assisting farmers in enhancing their herd fertility.🤩

A small investment now can mean major productivity gains later. Whether you’re prepping for joining or assessing sale bulls, we’re here to help you make informed, profitable decisions.

⚠️Tick Paralysis in Winter? Yes, It’s Happening. ❄️😢

We’ve already treated several cases of tick paralysis this week, and yes – it’s winter! Ticks don’t take the season off, and neither should your pet’s protection.⚠️

✅ The good news? There’s now a 12-month injection for tick prevention in dogs – no monthly tablets or spot-ons to remember. One simple visit, and your dog is protected for a full year.

Otherwise we do have many other options over the counter to help your pets stay protected!🤩

Tick paralysis can be fatal, even with prompt treatment. Prevention is always safer, easier, and more affordable than emergency care.

Understanding Arthritis in Horses🐎

Arthritis, specifically osteoarthritis (OA), is a prevalent condition in horses that leads to joint inflammation, discomfort, and stiffness. 😢 This issue can affect horses of all ages and breeds, significantly influencing their performance, mobility, and general health. Various factors can contribute to OA, including age, genetics, injury, and overuse.

Treatment and Management of Arthritis in Horses🐴
• Pain Management:❤️‍🩹
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be utilized to alleviate pain.
• Joint Injections:💉
- Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections can help lubricate the joint and decrease inflammation.
• Orthobiologics:🧬
- Injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel may promote cartilage regeneration.
• Physical Therapy:🐴
- Implementing exercise programs, massage, and other therapeutic approaches can enhance joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
• Weight Management:🍏
- Keeping a healthy weight is crucial for minimizing stress on the joints.
• Hoof Care:
- Regular hoof trimming can help lessen joint strain.
• Supplements:❤️
- Some horses may find joint supplements like 4Cyte beneficial.
• Arthritis Injections:💉
- Injections such as Pentosan actively reverses the effects of osteoarthritis in the joints

🩺🐾 Your Pet’s Health Starts on the Inside 🐾🩺

Did you know that many health issues in pets develop silently, with no obvious signs until they’re advanced?
That’s why annual blood testing is one of the most powerful tools we have to keep your furry friend healthy and happy.❤️‍🩹

🔬 Why is blood testing so important?
Blood tests give us a detailed look at your pet’s internal health, including:
❤️ Organ function – Liver, kidneys, and pancreas can be affected by age, medications, or disease.
🩸 Blood cell counts – Helps detect infections, anemia, immune issues, or even cancer.
🧬 Metabolic changes – Early signs of diabetes, thyroid disorders, or electrolyte imbalances.
⚠️ Baseline values – Knowing your pet’s normal levels helps us detect even subtle changes over time.

Even young and seemingly healthy pets can benefit. Catching something early can mean the difference between a quick fix and a major health concern.

📅 Ready to protect your pet’s health? Call us at (07)5467 2277 or email [email protected] to schedule their annual wellness visit today.
Because prevention is always better than a cure. 🐶🐱❤️

Is Your Cat Struggling with the Cold Weather?❄️

Are they slower to get moving in the mornings?🐱

Do they appear quieter or not quite themselves?😢

Are they finding it hard to jump, climb stairs, or play?🐈

During the colder months, symptoms of arthritis often become more pronounced, as cooler temperatures can exacerbate sore joints, leading our pets to feel stiffer and more uncomfortable. While arthritis is more common in older or overweight pets, it can impact cats of any age, breed, or size.

Fortunately, there are numerous ways to support our cats experiencing these aches and pains, not just in winter, but throughout the year. ❤️‍🩹

Solensia is a monthly injectable solution provided by veterinarians to help manage osteoarthritis pain. It can also be combined with other pain relief options, such as 4Cyte and anti-inflammatory medications. 💉💊🩺

If you believe your cat would benefit from some form of pain management, please contact us today at 5467 2277 to schedule an appointment. ☎️

We offer this service through our mobile van! We understand how stressful it can be to bring your cat to the clinic. Just let us know when calling that you’d like a home appointment. 🚑🐱🐾

We're proud to support the heart and soul of our local equestrian scene by sponsoring dedicated horse riders and their incredible equine partners. These athletes embody passion, discipline and a deep bond with their horses, values that we share in our clinic.❤️‍🩹
Through our sponsorship, we're helping ensure these riders have access to the care, resources and support they need to thrive in and out of the arena.

We are proud to announce that we are partnering with ALEXANDRA HINDLE and her incredible team.
Here is an introduction to Alex.🤩

Alex Hindle is a sixth-generation horse trainer, international clinician, and the founder of Hindle Horsemanship, based just outside Toowoomba, QLD. With a background that spans continents — including seven years living and training in Mexico — Alex brings a deep, practical understanding of horsemanship rooted in ethical, hands-on education.

At Hindle Horsemanship, she runs a busy training and teaching facility that offers riding lessons, kids camps, clinics, and agistment, helping riders and horses build trust, confidence, and skill both on the ground and in the saddle.

Alex is currently active in the campdrafting world, where she competes as a novice rider and has had a strong run of recent results, including (but not limited to):
🥇 Maiden Rider Champion – ACA South East Zone 24/25
🥈 Maiden Rider Runner Up – ACA National 24/25
🥇 1st Place Ladies Campdraft – Dirranbandi 2024
🥇 1st Place Ladies Campdraft – Augathella 2024
🥇 1st Place Maiden Campdraft – Glen Innes 2024
12th Place – Canning Downs, Warwick Gold Cup 2024

As a Peak Vets-sponsored rider, Alex values the essential role that expert veterinary care plays in the performance and wellbeing of her horses — both in competition and at home.

Favourite breed of horse?🐎
Lusitano — I love their versatility, movement, and natural ability on a cow.

Stallion, mare, or gelding — what’s your preference and why?🧐
Mare power is my style. I mainly compete on some great mares — they’ve got grit, heart, and great minds.

Best advice you can give anyone with horses?
You can never stop learning. Horses are some of the best teachers if you’re willing to listen.

What advice would you give someone starting out in the equine industry?
Be prepared to work your way up and put the time into learning. If something’s not going right with your horse, take a look at yourself first before you get frustrated with them.

Favourite or most satisfying thing you do with horses?🐴
I love competing in campdrafting. No run is ever the same — it demands quick thinking and feel, which all comes back to how well you’ve prepared at home.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Alexandra and her team on the campdrafting circuit🤩
