Meet Butter, the adorable pup who came to visit us for a chat about his castration!

At Southern Cross Vet, we're dedicated to guiding you through every stage of your furry friend's growth and development - from vaccinations to diet and even castration/neutering.

In NSW, it's legally required to desex your pet unless you're planning to breed them. But don't worry, we're here to help you make the right decision for your pet and advise on the best time for surgery.

Every case is different, and we'll work with you to determine what's best for your furry family member.

Need assistance? Call us at 1300 DOC SAM (1300 362 726) to book an appointment. We're always here to help!

Is your French Bulldog struggling to breathe?

Did you know that brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, and others with short snouts and flat faces are prone to breathing issues? It's due to Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome (BOAS), which can make it hard for them to get enough oxygen.

At Southern Cross Veterinary Clinic, we're proud to have pioneered minimally invasive corrective surgery for BOAS. Our expert team performs the surgery with minimal bleeding and bruising, and your furry friend can even go home the same day!

Don't let your Frenchie struggle to breathe. Book a Breathing Assessment today by calling us at 1300 DOC SAM (1300 362 726). Read more about BOAS and our innovative surgery on our blog: https://southerncrossvet.com.au/frenchie-boas-surgery-dog-breathe-better/

Today, this little pup came in for a 🩸titre test, faecal PCR, and analysis to ensure that the prevention treatments are working effectively. Some puppies and breeds, like oodles, are prone to runny, soft stools, and it's crucial to determine the cause - whether dietary, parasitic, bacterial, viral, or inflammatory.
