Today is World Zoonoses Day

This day raises awareness of diseases transmitted from animals to humans .
Covid was a huge wake up call for all of us as emerging new infectious diseases are likely to come from animals .

It is particularly important this year because of the detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus in a small number of poultry farms in Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT.
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry have advised the current strains of avian influenza do not appear to transmit easily between humans.

However do not take your backyard chickens or duck for a walk in the park . Keep them away from wild birds .

Ring us if you have questions. All vets have been briefed by the Department of Agriculture.

Imagine having to sleep in your car, in the middle of winter, because you can’t afford rent while you’re on placement.

That was Bee Flynn’s reality and she struggled to make ends meet during her final years of study.

The decision to exclude veterinary students from financial relief needs to be reversed. The profession is just as important as those that will receive financial assistance and we call on the Federal Government to take action.

🐇✨ Meet Magic - this adorable rabbit is in search of her forever home 🏡💕She has a curious and playful personality and is gentle natured. Whether she's exploring new nooks or binkying across the yard, Magic's personality is as delightful as her name suggests.

Before considering Magic as your new furry friend, please take note of the requirements she needs:
1️⃣Space: Rabbits needs ample space to roam and play. A spacious indoor pen or a secure outdoor enclosure is essential for her well-being.🐇🏡
2️⃣ Socializing: Rabbits benefit from companionship, so a commitment to spending quality time with her is a must. 🐰💗
3️⃣ Proper Diet: Magic needs a healthy and balanced diet to ensure her overall health and well-being. She will need a diet that includes water, fresh veggies, high-quality pellets, and unlimited access to hay to maintain good digestion and gut motility. 🥬🥦🥕
4️⃣ Veterinary Care: Regular check-ups with a rabbit-savvy vet are crucial to ensure a long and happy life. All of our vets here at the clinic are very knowledgable of rabbit health and would be more than happy to see Magic regularly.🩺👩‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️
5️⃣ Child Safety: If you have kids, ensure they understand the importance of gentle handling and respect for Magic’s space. Supervision is key, especially for younger children.👧🧒
6️⃣ Playtime: Rabbits love to chew, chew, chew! Plenty of rabbit-safe toys and items for Magic to nibble on should be provided to keep her teeth healthy and her mind stimulated! Additional enrichments could include tunnels, puzzle-feeders, digging boxes, and hide-aways.🌈

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Magic, please call us for adoption details! 💌 🐰💖
