Missy visited the clinic during the week for her pregnancy ultrasound with her owner, who was very excited to see her two puppies 🐕 hearts beating 💓.
⭐️ UPDATE GEORGE ⭐️
Beautiful George was treated with Radioactive Iodine, also known as I131, for hyperthyroidism with us on the 12th December. He recently attended referring vet Baldivis Vet Hospital for his follow-up bloods and has a new T4 of 19 nmol/L (Normal reference range 18-33) Yay!
George was diagnosed HyperT in April 2022. Prior to I131 his T4 fluctuated from 75 to 140 nmol/L and was unmanaged with medication.
It is great to hear that George, who is 13 years young is happy, healthy and enjoying his newfound freedoms. His owner reports “she is very relieved, and it was happy news indeed”.
Well done to our team and our collaborating partner TeleMedvet Ascot WA for another successful outcome.
The video is a little snippet of George when he stayed with us. 💙🐾

Ever wondered where your pets pathology samples go? Yes, there is dedicated pathology laboratories with a team of expert staff who are animal only.
If your pet has a sample that needs to be run at the lab, we send them to NovaVet Diagnostics and Vetpath Laboratory Services. They provide the crucial information needed to enable us to prevent illness, diagnose disease, guide treatment pathways, monitor disease progression and confirm patient recovery. Without their services medicine is really just a guess!
Whilst we can perform some minor tests in-house, we refer to these labs when needed and for urgent medicine cases. The right treatment plan always begins with the right diagnosis, so it’s important that we rely on precise clinical evaluation and testing.
Perth pets are truly lucky to have this level of expertise and we say THANK YOU for their services. 👏 👏👏👏👏

Donny came to visit us after cutting his paw 🐾 pad on a piece of glass.
Donny was a star patient and took it all in his stride whilst we cleaned and bandaged his paw. He was so relaxed, he fell asleep in Nurse Teesh's arms.
