🐾 Meet Sonny! 🐾

Today, Sonny visited us to have a skin tumour removed, and we're happy to report he's recovering well! 💙

Skin lumps are a common concern for our furry friends, especially as they age. While many lumps are harmless, others can be more serious. It's always best to have any new lump or bump checked by a vet as soon as you notice it. Early detection can make all the difference!

If you’ve found a lump on your dog (or cat), don’t wait—book a check-up with our friendly team. We're here to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. 🩺

📞 Call us at Burwood and Bay Vets on (02) 97452600 to schedule an appointment!

Wishing Sonny a speedy recovery—what a brave boy! 🐶💛

Extreme Heat Warning for this week!!! ☀️🐾

Pet parents, please be aware that temperatures this week are supposed to be increased to over 30 degrees. The heat can be particularly dangerous to pets, as they are more susceptible to heatstroke and dehydration than humans.

It’s essential to keep pets indoors during the hottest parts of the day, provide plenty of water, and ensure they have access to cool, shaded areas to avoid heat-related illnesses.

☀️ First, limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day—typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Instead, take walks early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cooler.

☀️ Always provide plenty of fresh water and ensure your pet has access to shaded, cool areas if they’re outside. If your pet needs to be outdoors for extended periods, consider setting up a fan or portable air conditioner to help keep the environment cooler.

☀️ Never leave pets in a parked car, even for a few minutes, as temperatures inside can rise rapidly, leading to heatstroke.

☀️ For pets with short snouts, such as brachycephalic dogs (e.g., Bulldogs or Pugs), be especially cautious, as they are more prone to breathing difficulties in the heat.

☀️ Lastly, monitor for signs of heatstroke—such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting—and seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your pet is overheating by calling the clinic on 9745 2600.

Cjay the 9 week old miniature dachshund cane into the clinic as his owners had just picked him up from the breeder and wanted him to be seen by his forever vet! 🧑‍⚕️🐶

Dr. Michael quickly diagnosed him with ear mites, tiny pests that had caused irritation and discomfort in his delicate ears. Cjay was a trooper, being well behaved and still as the vet gently examined him and prescribed a treatment of dermotic ear drops to help clear up the infection. 🐜

We will see him for a recheck at his second vaccination appointment! 🥰

Our darling frequent flyer Rusty turns 13 today!! Even though today is Friday the 13th, Rusty seems to use his bad luck as a good luck charm 🍀👻

Rusty was diagnosed with a melanoma on his lip earlier this year in which was removed, sent to the lab and then found that more of his lip would need to be removed to completely remove the cancerous cells. As you can see this never dampened Rusty’s smile, and is always happy to see everyone when he comes into Burwood and Bay.

Luna, the playful and curious cat, had always been full of energy until one day her eyes began to show signs of discomfort. After a visit to the vet, it was confirmed that Luna had conjunctivitis. 🐾💕

What is conjunctivitis in animals?

It refers to the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the white part of the eyeball and the inside of the eyelids. It can affect various species, including cats, dogs, and rabbits. The condition can be caused by a variety of reasons, but Luna was treated with a course of eye drops and a revisit if irritation continues to occur!

Chicco, the playful little puppy, came in for his first visit to the vet with his new owner, a first-time dog mom who was understandably nervous. She had never owned a dog before, and though she had read up on everything from vaccinations to puppy care, she couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the experience.

Chicco, full of energy and curiosity, tugged at his leash, eager to explore every corner of the clinic, oblivious to the sterile surroundings. His owner, on the other hand, was asking very important questions wanting to make sure she was doing everything right for her new companion. Chicco, ever the social pup, won over the staff with his sweet nature, while his mom slowly relaxed, realizing this was just one of many firsts they’d navigate together as a team. 🥰🐾

Ginger the bunny had an eventful week, as she was spayed on Wednesday. Though it was a big step for her, the procedure went smoothly, and she’s now recovering at home. Ginger has been a little more subdued than usual, but she’s getting plenty of love and care from her family. The vet assures that after some rest, she’ll be back to her curious and playful self in no time. 🐰

Ginger’s owners are glad to have taken this important step in ensuring her long-term health and well-being, and they’re looking forward to seeing her hop around with her usual energy soon.🥕

Juno, the energetic rottweiler puppy, had her routine check-up at the vet for her flea and worm treatment. As always, she was excited to be there, calming but eagerly she entered the clinic. The vet tech quickly administered her flea and worm tablet, which Juno accepted without protest—she was getting used to these regular visits. Afterward, she had some time to socialize with other puppies and dogs in the waiting area.

Juno was in her element, happily greeting the other dogs with a mix of curiosity and playful energy. By the end of the visit, she was feeling confident and content, looking forward to the next check-up and more opportunities to socialize with her furry friends. 🐾✨

Frank the harrier is a familiar face at the clinic, coming in regularly for his cytopoint injections to help manage his allergies. Always a calm and well-behaved patient, Frank trots in with his tail wagging, knowing that the visit means relief from the itchy discomfort he often experiences. 🥰

His owners are always attentive to his needs, and the cytopoint injections have made a significant difference in improving his quality of life. Frank’s visits are routine, but each time, he’s treated with the same care and compassion, ensuring that he stays comfortable and happy between appointments.

Oh no! Rosie had a chicken bone stuck after having an adventure in a bush at the park when her paw parents turned their heads. Chicken bones can be dangerous because they can splinter and cause blockages or tears in the digestive system, but luckily her owners noticed some changes in her behaviour. 🐾💜

She was brought into the clinic by her owners where the bone was found lodged in her top jaw, between her pre molars and molars. She was sedated and underwent a minor procedure to have the bine removed by Dr. Paul with a set of haemostats. Rosie automatically bounced back to her original self and has promised no more late night snacks 🍗

RIP Jazz 2009-2024 💫

Beautiful Jazz was one of our clinic favourites, she would always put a smile on everyone’s face when she would walk in. Last year Jazz was diagnosed with a 6cm mass on her spleen, in which her spleen was removed and she made a full recovery at the age of 14!! Exactly one year later Jazz had come back to us with inappetence and was placed on IV fluids in hospital, this slightly increased Jazz’s health but her wonderful owners knew that it may soon be time for her to cross the rainbow bridge. Jazz was brought in by her family on Monday evening to day there final goodbyes in a peaceful and dignified last few moments. We are so thankful we were able to gain the pleasure of looking after Jazz for all of these years, and meeting her wonderful family ❤️❤️🐾

(She may or may not of had a yummy meal just before this photo was taken hehe)
