✨ Say hello to Benji, the charming Corgi who paid us a visit to see Dr Simon! ✨

Benji came in for a Suprelorin implant, an implant embedded just under the skin. This implant suppresses testosterone levels in male dogs through slow release, providing temporary chemical sterilisation for 6–12 months. 🐾

Since the implant needle is quite thick, we gave Benji twilight sedation with pain relief to ensure his experience was as comfortable as possible. As soon as the procedure was done and Benji started waking up, he was back to his usual happy self—munching on treats and proudly showing off his handshake trick. 🐾🤝 Safe to say, we’re still best mates! 🥰

Why the long face, Teddy? 🐶

Teddy visited us a couple of weeks ago after his owner noticed him limping on his front leg. On examination, Dr Neville found an inflamed swelling on Teddy’s paw with draining sinuses—classic signs of a grass seed abscess.

We quickly scheduled Teddy for surgery, where Dr Hobin explored, located and removed a pesky grass seed from the swollen area. A thorough check of his paws and coat uncovered even more hidden grass seeds that were starting to cause trouble. 🌾

After carefully flushing out the abscess and stitching the wound closed, we applied a pressure bandage to reduce swelling and keep the incision clean. To top it off, Teddy got his very own cone to make sure he left the bandage alone—though we don’t think he was thrilled about it!

We can’t blame him for looking a little unimpressed, but he’s well on the mend now, and those grass seeds are finally gone! 🌾💨

Tank’s Tale: A Jaw-Dropping Recovery 😮

This brave 5-month-old puppy presented to our clinic with an unfortunate and uncommon injury called a lip avulsion after a car accident. In this type of injury, the skin of the chin detaches from the lower jaw, exposing the jawbone and leaving the chin skin hanging like a “second mouth.” (We apologise for the graphic description! 😣)

Tank had already undergone surgery at an emergency vet centre, but unfortunately, the repair didn’t hold, and his chin was hanging down again. Dr Neville discussed the challenges of repairing such a complex injury, especially since this was a second attempt. With specialist surgery not an option for his family, Dr Neville stepped up, drawing on his experience with similar cases to try an alternative surgical technique.

Using a meticulous approach, Dr Neville drilled small tunnels through Tank’s jaw and chin bones to create anchor points for sutures. These sutures gradually re-attached the skin to the bone, and fine stitching along the gumline helped reconstruct his chin and gums.

The surgery was a success, but recovery required careful aftercare. Tank’s incredible owners went above and beyond, keeping his Elizabethan collar on, preventing scratching, and feeding him a special soft diet to minimise pressure on the repair.

And the result? Success! 🎉 Four weeks later, Tank’s chin had fully healed, and we removed the bone-anchoring sutures. He’s back to smiling his adorable puppy smile, with his chin firmly in place.

Tank truly kept his “chin up” through it all – what a superstar! ⭐ A big thank you to Tank’s family for their dedication and to Dr Neville and the surgical team for their expertise.

How's this for a Feel-Good Friday story?! 🐶🐶

What are the odds? Bruce and Millie, two gorgeous Cavalier King Charles Spaniels from different families, were both booked in for sterilisation surgery on the same day. Imagine our delight when we realised Bruce and Millie are, in fact, brother and sister from the same litter – and we were able to witness the heart-warming reunion between these two!

Despite going to separate forever homes, of all the suburbs and clinics, both pups ended up in the same local area – and at our clinic! Their owners have since exchanged details and are planning some paw-some pup play dates to keep these siblings in touch.

Such a special moment and the perfect way to round off the week! Have a feel-good Friday, everyone! 💖

Good morning from handsome Jasper! 😻

British Shorthairs are renowned for their calm and patient nature, paired with an easy-going attitude. Their distinctive features include large, expressive eyes and a dense double coat that gives them a plush, cuddly appearance.

In 2011, a British Shorthair held the record for four years, for the loudest purr measuring an impressive 67.7 decibels – about as loud as a running dishwasher or a casual conversation! 🙀

We know it might seem like we're running a pet fitness club, but weighing your dog at every visit is a big deal for their health! Here’s why:

🐶 Keeping Tabs on the Pup Pounds: A little up or down on the scale is no biggie, but any big changes? That can clue us in on health issues before they get serious—so we’re basically their health detective! 🕵️‍♀️

💊 Perfectly Measured Meds: Even if it’s just an ear or eye check, knowing their weight is key for giving the right amount of oral meds (nobody wants too much or too little). So, weighing in is part of their treatment!

⚖️ A Good Distraction: Asking your dog to hop on the scales and praising them for following commands can be a great way to reassure them and settle their nerves! Plus, it helps them feel like a star student and gives them a focus in the waiting room.

🏋️ Long-term Health Goals: We love tracking health trends for your pet—every weigh-in is like adding another piece to their wellness puzzle, helping us see any changes in their diet or lifestyle.

Here's Mazikeen sitting on the scales, like a professional model! It's amazing to see how big she has sprouted in just a short time - and she's not finished growing yet!

🚨 Protect Your Bunnies from RHDV Outbreaks! 🚨

Recent outbreaks of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) across Perth are putting domestic rabbits at risk. This virus, spread through direct contact, insects, and contaminated surfaces, includes two dangerous strains—RHDV1 and RHDV2. 🧬

RHDV can cause sudden, severe illness, so please be aware of these symptoms:
🐰 Lethargy or weakness
🌡 Loss of appetite
💧 Breathing difficulty or unusual discharge
💔 Sudden collapse

To safeguard your rabbit, we stock Filavac at our clinic, which boosts immunity against both RHDV1 and RHDV2. Compared to Cylap (which only covers RHDV1), Filavac offers:
💉 Single Dose from 10 Weeks of Age.
💉 12-Month Coverage: Effective against both strains with one annual dose.

🏠 Additional Protection Tips 🏠
Keep your rabbit safe with these extra precautions:
▪️ Keep Rabbits Indoors: Reduces exposure to virus-carrying insects.
▪️ Limit Outdoor Time: Avoid areas where wild rabbits might roam.
▪️ Practice Hygiene: Wash hands before handling and clean all equipment with F10 disinfectant.

Book your rabbit’s Filavac vaccination today, or reach out with any questions. Let’s keep our furry hoppers safe! 🐰❤️

Let’s Take a Look at Charley’s Unique Eyes! 👁

Charley is a stunning girl with a unique feature—two different coloured eyes! This striking condition is called heterochromia. ✨
There are actually a few types of heterochromia:

Complete heterochromia: When each eye is a different, solid colour, like Charley's!
Sectoral (or segmental) heterochromia: When one eye has multiple colours (e.g. an eye that is half brown, half blue).
Central heterochromia: When there’s a different coloured ring around the pupil.

Heterochromia is typically genetic and doesn’t impact Charley's vision at all! However, if a pet’s eye changes colour in adulthood, it’s worth a visit to the vet to rule out any health concerns. 🐾

🌾 Beware the Grass Seeds! 🌾

If you've ever had a grass seed stuck in your sock, poking into your skin as you walk, you'll know how irritating and painful it can be. Now imagine how it must feel for our pets! With warmer weather bringing more blooms and those pesky grass seeds, we're seeing more cases at the clinic.

Little Winnie’s owner noticed something wasn’t right when Winnie yelped every time her left side was touched, especially around her ear. Since she was too uncomfortable for a full conscious exam, we gave her a gentle twilight sedation with pain relief to help her relax. Once she was comfortable, we took a look and found the culprit – a huge grass seed lodged in her ear canal! Winnie’s relief was almost instant. 🌟

Grass seeds are sneaky – their arrow-like shape helps them burrow deep into hard-to-reach places. We’ve found them just about everywhere: in ears, eyes, mouths, and even embedded in the skin, where they can cause painful abscesses, especially in paws and around the body. 🐾

While it’s tricky to check every spot, a quick nightly check of your pet’s paws and coat, especially for our long-haired friends, can make a big difference. Let’s keep our pets comfortable and grass-seed-free this season! 🐶🌿🐱

Hi everyone, I’m Leeloo! 🐶
My mum brought me in for my vaccine booster so I can grow up strong and ready to explore the world! I also got some cuddles from Dr Hobin and Nurse Belinda, and even got to try peanut butter while they put in this thing called a 'microchip.'

Now, if I ever get lost, this little chip will help me find my way home. I feel like such a grown-up pup now! 🐾

~~
Do your pets have their microchip info up to date too?
If you’re not sure how to check, the friendly nurses are here to help. Keeping contact details current is the best way to keep pets like Leeloo safe and sound!

Zeus and the Battery: A Rescue Mission at the Vet 🏥

Poor Zeus recently found himself on an unexpected trip to the vet after deciding to use the family TV remote as a chew toy, dislodging the batteries inside. 🐶📺 An x-ray quickly revealed that Zeus had swallowed one of the batteries – the other was discovered wedged in the couch, pierced by his teeth. Inducing vomiting was too risky, as if the swallowed battery had also been punctured, corrosive acid could cause further harm on the way back up. It was decided that the safest option was to surgically enter his stomach to retrieve the missing battery.

We were pleased to see Zeus back for his post-op check-up and to have his stitches removed. He’s now fully recovered, happily cone-free, and back to his usual self – with the TV remote safely out of reach! 🎉
