Yesterday, sibling duo Arthur & Evelyn came in for their annual vaccines. While Evelyn preferred the safety of her cat carrier, Arthur took full advantage of our feline friendly consult room, climbing through the cat shelves to hang out.

We love seeing cats feeling comfortable exploring in our space. 💚

Last week, these two adorable sisters came in for their kitten vaccines! Bella and Cleo were adopted from Haven WA and have landed themselves the most wonderful family.

They were a little shy at first, but with the help of some creamy treats and fun toys, they quickly warmed up to us! 💚

Welcome to the family Otis and Poppy 💚🐾

Say hello to Steve the Siberian!

Steve visited us yesterday for his annual vaccination, and of course, he charmed Dr Jess with his fluffy coat and big personality! Did you know that Siberian cats have a thick triple layered coat that’s water resistant?

Steve, however, prefers to stay dry and soak up creamy treats instead.

🚨 Important Microchip Update for Pet Owners 🚨

The company HomeSafeID (Microchip Pet Registry) has gone into receivership, and the future of their register is uncertain. This means they may no longer maintain their microchip database.

To ensure your pet’s microchip remains active and up to date, we strongly recommend transferring their registration to another database. At our clinic, we use Australasian Animal Registry (AAR). You may be able register your pet’s microchip here: https://www.myras.com.au/AAR/register/Registration.aspx

Not sure where your pet's microchip is currently registered? You can check here: https://petaddress.com.au/.

Keeping your pet’s microchip details current and registered is crucial for their safety and for reuniting them with you in case they are ever lost.

Please email us or call if you are unsure of your pets microchip number.

This was found... where?! 😟

One of our brave patients had been experiencing discharge from her v***a. Yesterday, under general anesthesia, Dr Kristy investigated further and found the culprit, a grass seed partially embedded in the folds of her v***al mucosa. Ouch!

Grass seeds can find their way into the most unexpected places. We're sure this patient was very happy to have this removed. 💚

🐶 Michael's Leg Lump 🐶

Michael is an 8-year-old German Pinscher who had an ulcerated lump on his lower front leg. The irritation from the wound caused Michael to lick at his leg, making the ulceration worse.

Dr Jess recommended performing a Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) of the lump to determine its origin and, therefore, help us decide on a surgical plan for removal. The FNA came back as an adnexal neoplasm, a benign tumour associated with hair follicles, with additional inflammation from the licking. Because Michael was very bothered by it, we recommended that the lump be removed.

As there was limited loose skin in this location, regular closure of the wound would not have been possible. In these situations, we utilise a skin flap, which uses “donor skin” from nearby the surgical site to close the “recipient site” with the blood supply intact. Dr Cindy assessed Michael’s lump and deemed it suitable for a brachial axial pattern flap, which uses the skin and blood vessel supply higher up on the leg to close the surgical wound.

The surgery was successful and the skin flap was rotated into place, allowing for removal of the lump and closure of the wound. The rotation of the flap means Michael now has a bulge in his skin at the pivot point, but this is much more comfortable than his previous lump!

Skin flaps take approximately 2 weeks to heal. A potential complication of skin flaps is wound breakdown at the recipient site, due to uncontrollable factors such as inadequate blood supply and movement during healing. Michael had a small area of wound breakdown at one end of his wound, but close management with regular bandaging and rechecks meant that it was able to heal nicely.

Michael has since recovered well from surgery, and is enjoying life with his family.
