We are a multidisciplinary specialist veterinary hospital containing Anaesthesia, Emergency, Imaging, Medicine, Oncology and Surgery. Our specialist departments operate Monday-Friday with our Emergency team available at all other times to ensure continuity and excellence in patient care.
🎂We recently had the very cute Django in to see our internal medicine department. His appointment happened to be the same day as his birthday so we made sure he got his very own “birthday cake” while he was in hospital to celebrate his special day! 🎂
🐈Flo, a 3 year old domestic short hair presented to our Emergency Team last June after being involved in a suspected MVA (motor vehicle accident). Unfortunately, Flo was not in a good way when she presented to our clinic, with wounds to her face and multiple fractures, including multiple in her pelvis, forearm and ribs. She was under the care of Dr Kadie in our Surgery team and her owners recently provided a wonderful update with her progress.
Her owner reports she is now strictly an indoor cat, and some of her favourite things to do are bird watching from the front door, chatting to the neighborhood cats who visit, indoor zoomies with her sister and cuddles from her family. We are so pleased to hear Flo is doing well and appreciate her lovely family for getting in touch to provide an update after all these months!🐈

🐾We had the pleasure of treating the lovely Cooper in 2023. His paw-rents recently got in touch with us to provide an update and some very kind words about their experience with the PVS team.🐾
“I just want to write to say that my dog ‘Cooper’ had treatment at your facility throughout 2023 where he had undergone some extensive bladder surgery by Dr Carla and the soft tissue team/urology team. Cooper has reached his 1 year birthday just recently and he’s doing so amazing, he’s growing into a big strong boy. Luke and I just want to say thank you for all that your team, nurses, doctors and staff did to look after Cooper when he underwent surgery and the multiple visits that he had following it.
Your professionalism, empathy and kindness does not go unnoticed. At times it was very scary for us and we didn’t know how how he would end up, but we are so grateful that he was in your hands.
Once again, thank you so much for looking after him - Nedene and Luke (Cooper’s Mum and Dad)”🩵
🩺🐾June 18th is Veterinary Appreciation Day. A day to honour the incredible work and dedication of veterinary professionals worldwide. From treating our beloved pets to safeguarding animal welfare, veterinarians play a crucial role in ensuring the health and happiness of our fur babies. 🐾🩺
❄️Brrrrr hope everypawdy is keeping warm on this chilly Perth morning 🐾 Our wonderful team of vets and nurses made sure our overnight patient Wren was nice and cosy during her sleepover with us last night for monitoring post surgery. 🐶💜
🩺Much like in the human medical world, animals also require blood transfusions from time to time, for a variety of different reasons. Pablo, one of our frequent canine blood donors, recently donated to help save the life a PVS patient with severe anaemia, who was being treated by our Emergency and Internal Medicine teams. Pablo was so brave throughout his donation and received lots of treats, cuddles and even a cup of "tea" from our team afterwards.🐾

🤍🖤Meet Ziggy🤍🖤
Ziggy, a lovely 5 year old staffy was recently referred to our specialist hospital for chronic ongoing urinary tract infections. After initial investigations with Dr Linda from our Medicine Department, Ziggy was recommended to have a Vulvoplasty with Dr Carla from our Surgery Department.

After a few final check ups, we are so pleased to report that Ziggy is doing really well at home.

We are so happy Ziggy is back to her lovely self and living her best life again!

Some Easter treats can be harmful to our four legged friends. Please keep them safe this Easter. 🐣🐰
Here's something for you (not your dog) to chew on this Easter. 👇
While tasty for us, popular Easter treats can be toxic for our furry friends. 🍫
Chocolate, hot cross buns, and BBQ leftovers are among the five top hazards pet owners should keep well away from prying paws this long weekend.
Just 50 grams of chocolate can be enough to poison a small dog. That's the size of a standard chocolate bar!
Please be sure to keep your pets safe this Easter! 🐾

🥳🐶Meet Hamish🥳🐶
Hamish has being visiting our Specialist Oncology Team for just over a year and recently celebrated his 10th birthday.

💪🏻 🐾 Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women working tirelessly not only in our clinic but in the Veterinary industry. Your passion, dedication, and expertise make a pawsitive impact every single day. Here’s to celebrating your strength, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our furry friends!
March 3 is World Wildlife Day! 🦉🐦🦅
If you ever come across injured or sick wildlife, it is important to contact WA Wildlife, Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre or Native Animal Rescue AU or a vet as soon as possible for advice. Often, particularly with fledglings the Mother will be nearby searching for food and will not able to be reunited with it's baby if taken away. The exact location found is essential to the rehabilitation of the animal. Keeping your cat/s indoors, having a healthy unsprayed native garden, and donating to your local wildlife shelters are all great ways to help protect our beautiful wildlife!
🐾🩺We're thrilled to introduce Dr Adrien Hespel Specialist Veterinary Radiologist (and his furry sidekick Vibe, the Miniature Schnauzer) to the PVS Team.🩺🐾
A Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and Master of Biomedical Science, Adrien received his veterinary degree from Liege University and further honed his skills through a small animal rotating internship in Dublin. His pursuit of excellence led him to the United States, where he underwent specialized training in veterinary radiology at the renowned College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University. Following rigorous training, he achieved Diplomate status with the American College of Veterinary Radiology, solidifying his place as a leader in his field. Adrien's journey in veterinary radiology has taken him across various prestigious institutions. He spent a year at the University of Wisconsin as clinical faculty before finding his home in Tennessee. For 7 years, he served as a tenured associate professor of radiology, dedicating himself to education, research, and clinical practice.
We're privileged to have Adrien on our team, enriching our practice with his expertise and dedication to advancing veterinary care. Please join us in welcoming Adrien to Perth and to the PVS Family 💜
🤍🐾We know a lot of our pet parents out there (particularly our Dachshund and French Bulldog parents) are aware about a condition called IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), but did you know in some rare cases it can affect our feline friends too? Meet Ruben, a 6 year old cat who presented to our specialist surgery team last month with urinary problems and weakness in his tail. Upon further investigation with CT, Ruben was diagnosed with a disc extrusion in his lower spine. Ruben underwent a hemilaminectomy (surgery to remove the disc extrusion material) which was successful. Thanks to Dr Carla, our nursing team, and our team of specialist radiologists and anaesthetists, Ruben’s owners report that he is doing really well at home recovering from his big operation. The period after an operation like this is crucial to patient rehabilitation and recovery and we hope Ruben gets through it smoothly with the help from his loving family.🐾🤍

We L💜VE a chatty staffy! Handsome Vadar was in today to see Dr Carla in our specialist surgery team. He was sure to let everyone know he was in the building🎤
Koda, who is currently receiving Chemotherapy with our specialist Oncology Team just loves to sing while she waits for the nurses to do her admission paperwork. We think she has a beautiful voice!🎤🎶
🐶🏥Lily’s Radiation Journey 🐶🏥 Lovely Lily, an 8-year-old Italian Greyhound recently presented to our specialist Oncology department after a MRI scan sadly confirmed Lily had a spinal nerve mass. This resulted in loss of movement and coordination in her hind limbs and her barely being able to walk even just a few steps. Lily needed immediate treatment, so Dr Jessica Finlay consulted with Lily’s owners about her options. Given spinal decompression surgery was not an option for Lily, she commenced radiation therapy the very next day. Lily had 3 sessions of radiation therapy which was very successful and since regained function of her hind limbs. Lily’s Mum reports that she is improving daily and is almost back to her normal energetic self, which couldn’t be better news! Here you can see Lily’s before and after videos, what an amazing difference! We hope Lily continues to do well, and look forward to seeing her at her check-ups with Dr Jessica in the future!
⚽️🤎Cheeky girl @sammy.fetch paid us a visit this afternoon after eating 150 grams of raisins - which are very toxic to our four legged friends! Luckily Sammy was able to be treated in time by our Emergency team and should make a full recovery & be back to chasing her ball in no time. 🤎⚽️
🐶Meet Gus The Tri-Pawd! Gus was diagnosed with osteosarcoma late last year which resulted in him having to have one of his front legs amputated by one of our Specialist Surgeons, Dr Kadie O’Byrne. Gus has also been receiving chemotherapy treatment with our Specialist Oncology team - a very brave boy indeed! His lovely owners recently got in touch to give us an update on Gus and his life as a three legged pooch. “Hi there - just wanted to send a big thank you to the team who have recently been looking after my lab, Gus! He had his final chemo session last week and is really taking to life as a Tri-Pawd! Honestly been so invaluable to have such a supportive and caring team guide us through a very traumatic process, so thank you very much and we look forward to taking him in for his check up in a month!” As you can see Gus has adjusted beautifully to life with 3 legs and we hope he continues to stay well!
🐶🎄🐱 It’s almost Christmas, so from the staff pets of PVS (and all of their humans of course!) we wish you a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. We hope Santa Paws brings all your fur babies their favourite treats this year! 🐾🎁

❤️🩹Charlie’s Story❤️🩹 Charlie, a 1 year old tabby cat first came to our Emergency Centre as a stray after being found injured on the side of the road by a member of the public. When Charlie arrived, he was not in a good way and it due to the nature of his injuries it was suspected that he had been hit by a car. Charlie had multiple life-threatening injuries so it was important we located his owners immediately. Luckily, we scanned Charlie and he had a microchip with up to date registered details of his owners, who were no doubt worried sick about him. We contacted them and they headed straight down to our clinic to see him and have an emergency consultation with our team. Charlie’s owners were dedicated to helping him so Charlie underwent a CT of his head, chest, and abdomen. The CT identified the following: - Skull fracture on the right side including his sinuses - Brain trauma - Bleeding in his left armpit - Lung bruises The first few days Charlie was receiving around the clock care with our Emergency and Critical Care Team. Charlie was not able to walk and was also placed onto a feeding tube as he was unable to eat due to his severe injuries. Charlie continued to get better each day with the help of our incredible vets and nurses and after a few days, was able to be discharged home into his owners care, who were given detailed instructions on how to continue to care for him at home. Charlie has been back to see our team a few times since his accident and continues to make remarkable progress. He is now able to walk and eat by himself and his owners could not be happier with his recovery and are so thankful to our team for helping Charlie. 💐
🐻Yesterday we had a very cute visit from Veterinary Dermatology Specialists patient, Mindy @mindythetoy. Mindy has been attending the clinic for over a year now, initially for bee and wasp anaphylaxis desensitisation, which has been successful!

🐶🐰🐱Happy National Pet Day🐶🐰🐱 (although really, we think every day should be pet day!) Show your pet some extra love today by taking them to their favorite place, giving them their fave healthy treat or simply spend some quality time together and appreciate the love and joy that they bring into our lives. #NationalPetDay
Our pets feel the heat differently to us, and unfortunately it can be hard for them to let us know when they're overheating! It is important to know your pets limits and to be aware of ☀️ "how hot is too hot" 🔥 when it comes to outside exercise. Remember! It's okay not to walk your dog on hot days, especially for brachycephalics who don't cope as well with the heat.
Meet Lulu, Understandably Lulu was a little nervous for her radiographs. We took it slow and prescribed pre-imaging cuddles with a light sedation to help ease her nerves. We aim to provide fear free experiences for our patients and want to encourage a positive experience for them. Happy Friday!
