🐾 Maple's Big Bone Adventure 🐾

Meet Maple, our brave 13-week-old Poodle mix who gave the team at AEC Woolloongabba quite the scare this weekend! This little adventurer managed to swallow an entire lamb bone - about half her body length! 😱
We immediately admitted Maple for emergency surgery, deeply concerned about potential stomach perforation. But sometimes miracles happen in veterinary medicine! When we opened her up, we discovered her stomach was remarkably intact with no significant damage.
The surgery went smoothly, the bone was successfully removed, and our sweet Maple is now back home with her grateful family! 🏠💕
This is a perfect reminder to keep a close eye on what our curious puppies get into. Maple's story had a happy ending, but bones can be extremely dangerous for our furry friends.
Welcome to the world, little Maple - may your future adventures be much safer! ❤️

🐾 ❤️ Meet Pip ❤️ 🐾
Pip was a recent visitor to AEC Woolloongabba after her owner had found she ingested 25g of rat bait.
As rat baits are an anticoagulant, left untreated Pip’s blood may have stopped clotting which could lead to life-threatening bleeding.
However, Pip’s owners acted quickly & got her to us. We induced emesis & had her empty her tummy, with very brightly coloured results 🤮
Pip went home that evening, quite happy with herself, completely unaware of the worry she had caused her owner.

❤️ AEC Woolloongabba needs your old newspapers please ❤️
As cute as it may be, its not for the dogs to read, its to line the cages of our wildlife ward for the many native creatures we see at the clinic & that have a little stay with us until they can be collected by the wildlife ambulance.
If you have any newspapers lying around please bring them to the clinic at 14 Cleveland Street, Stones Corner any time 24/7.

AEC Woolloongabba has recently hosted nurses from all over SEQLD to share their knowledge on CPR.
Two of our nurse managers, Kirstie & Paula, happily shared what they have learned over their careers about emergency response & CPR.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves & got plenty of practical experience on our CPR dummies.

🐾❤️This is the face of regrets!❤️🐾
Poor Indie presented to AEC Woolloongabba after eating nearly 300g of left-over Easter eggs.
As this amount of chocolate was going to be quite a problem for little Indie, we had no choice but to induce emesis to empty her tummy.
The moral of the story is… keep your dog safe by eating all the chocolate!
Best excuse ever!
