👁️ 🐶 Common Canine Eye Conditions - Entropion
Have you ever noticed your canine friend dealing with chronically runny or irritated eye/s? It might not be just a cosmetic concern; it could in fact be a condition called Entropion.
So what is Entropion? 🧐
Entropion is an ocular (eye) condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing irritation to the eyes. This can result in chronic ulcers, painful squinting, and discomfort for your beloved pet. It's more common than you might think, especially among young, rapidly growing dogs.
Types of Entropion: 🐾
➖ Inherited/Genetic: Common among breeds with "extra" skin folds or drooping eyes, for example: Bull Mastiff, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, English bulldog, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever. Typically present at birth.
➖ Spastic: Occurs due to any painful condition in the eye, such as corneal ulcers or uveitis.
➖ Acquired: Eyelids roll inward due to changes in the eye or surrounding muscles. Can happen as dogs age or develop eye problems.
Treatment Approaches: 🩺
There are multiple options for treating Entropion, and here at Moreton Bay Vets, we provide tailored solutions for your pet's well-being.
Whether it's managing puppy entropion through home techniques or temporary veterinary procedures, surgery, addressing genetics forms, or dealing with acquired entropion due to ageing or eye issues, our experienced team is here for you.
If you've noticed signs of Entropion in your dog or have concerns about their eye health, please give our friendly team a ring and discuss booking a consultation with us! 🐾

Meet Boris! 👋
Boris visited Dr Sophie at the clinic this week for an ear clean under sedation 🫧
He presented with head shaking, itchy & pungent ears. Upon further otoscopic inspection & cytology sample, Dr Sophie could see that Boris had a Bilateral ear infection 🦠
Boris’s treatment involved a day stay in clinic and a deep ear clean performed under sedation. Sedation allows us to clean a patients ear with minimal pain & stress for the patient; and often results in a much more thorough ear clean. He was then administered a long lasting ear medication that meant the owners did not have to treat the ear daily at home.
Our team LOVED having him in the clinic! He was such a sweet, well behaved boy! (See photo #2 of him giving us hand shakes 🥰)
Did you know Boris is only 2 years old! Can you guess Boris’s breed & weight? Leave a comment below!
Do you have a litter of puppies or kittens, and wondering where you should take them for their first vet visit?! 🐶🐱
Look no further! Here at MBV we offer discounted vaccination and microchip rates for litters (2+ pups or kittens) to help save some extra pennies! 😃
These prices also include their first health check, so you can ensure you are giving your pet the best start possible. If you would like to make a booking, contact our friendly team today on 07 5422 9410! 🐾

Meet Dave the Donkey 👋
Dave visited us in clinic for a routine gelding last week, and isn't he adorable! 😍🥰
Dave's visit got us thinking about Donkey facts, and we thought we would share some fun ones with you!
Did you know...
🤎There are many names for Donkey's, including: Asino, Ass, B***o, Jack, Jenny and Moke
🤎A "Hinny" is the result of breeding a female donkey & male horse
🤎A "Mule" is the result of breeding a male donkey & female horse
🤎Donkey's large ears help them stay cool.
Wild Donkey's evolved from Africa & Asia, their large ears help them listen for predators and heard calls (even from kilometers away), as well as expelling internal heat to help them stay cool.
🤎Donkey's, like horses, are dichromatic. Meaning they have two coloured vision
🤎Donkey's and horses are different species! They have different physical, mental and emotional characteristics and a different numbers of chromosomes, horses have 64 and Donkey's have 62. When they are mated, Mules receive 63 chromosomes.
🤎The noise a Donkey makes is called a "Bray" and every Donkey has a unique Bray.
🤎Donkey's are commonly used as guard animals to protect livestock
Well, there you have it! We hope your Friday is filled with a little bit more knowledge and cute Donkey photos!
We are open for consultations on Saturday from 8am-12pm. If you need us, please contact the clinic on 07 5422 9410.
Afterpay now available! 🙌
We have recently partnered with Afterpay to bring you another payment solution for your convenience and for those unexpected Veterinary visits👨⚕️
Available for both mobile 🚑 and clinic 🏥 appointments!
Good Morning 🌧️
We hope that you are staying safe and dry☔️. Just letting you know that we are still operational despite all the rain. We have 3 vets in the clinic doing cats and dogs and one on the road doing the large animals. We hope that the flood waters start receding soon.
The picture was taken this morning from the clinics front door.
Our clinic is closed for routine appointments today, for the Australia Day public holiday.
We have an on call veterinarian available should you require emergency assistance. You can contact them on our mobile number, 0447 202 600. We will be back in the clinic for routine appointments tomorrow. We hope you all have a safe long weekend!
Meet the newest member of the MBV Team - Dr Sophie! 👩⚕️ Pictured here with one of our patients, Chewbacca ❤️🐹
Dr Sophie has recently joined our team here at MBV, and our patients are already enjoying some cuddles! Dr Sophie saw Chewbacca recently, who presented to the clinic with burns to his paws. Chewbacca’s injuries were sustained after he found himself on a hot surface - ouch! This left the pads of his paws blistered and painful, so his owners brought him to MBV for some further investigation. ❤️🩹
After assessing Chewbacca’s paws, Dr Sophie prescribed oral pain medication, and topical ointment to assist with healing and avoid infection.
We are glad to advise that Chewbacca is now recovering well at home, under the care of his owners. ☺️
P.S, did you know 🤔 Guinea pigs (like horses) have open rooted teeth, which means they are constantly growing! This is why it is essential for Guinea pigs to have access to forage at all times (grass or hay) to ensure their teeth are being consistently ground down. 🦷
A cute pic of one of our amazing nurses waking up a patient from last Friday nights elective caesarean section. You will note that we leave the endotracheal tube in as long as possible to assist with a smooth recovery.
✨ Happy Tails - 2 ✨
A few months ago we shared our patient Margaritas recovery, after having a nasty injury to her chest. Today we are sharing a similar success story, for our patient Forche.
🐴 Forches injury has healed fantastically well, after she sustained the large laceration to her side late last year. If you are not squeamish, swipe right to see more photos 👉
Forches injury occurred during a slip while exiting her stable, and luckily her owners were home at the time. Her owners contact MBV after hours straight away, and spoke to Dr B. Dr B attended as soon as possible, and got to work with assessing the injury and commencing the stitch up.
After sedating Forche, local anaesthetic was injected into and around the wound and the area was clipped, cleaned and prepared for repair. Dr B used suture to repair the torn muscle, flesh and skin. Drains were placed, to assist with the healing of the injury.
Forche was visited daily for 3 days for antibiotics, pain relief and wound checks. Forches owners then commenced full care at home including pain relief and antibiotics, and after 14 days our patient had her sutures removed.
We are all so pleased with how well Forche has healed, and Dr B and her owners have done a fantastic job working together to ensure the best result post procedure.
Big or small we treat them all ❤

😱 Foreign Body Friday! 🚨 Viewer discretion is advised! If you've ever wanted to watch a live Exlap (Exploratory laparotomy) on a dog to remove a foreign object, now is the time! Our patient had presented with lethargy, vomiting, and a lack of appetite for a few days. We are so glad to advise our patient has made a full recovery 🐶❤️ For those who do not want to watch the video, it shows Dr Trent removing a significant sized piece of bedding 🛏, which was obstructing the intestines.
Did you know up to 40% of all cats suffer from osteoarthritis pain? 🐱 We are so excited to be able to offer Solensia to our feline patients, a brand new monthly injection that assists in alleviating feline arthritis pain ❤️🩹 Watch the video below to see some fantastic results, and if you would like to book your feline friend in please feel free to give our friendly team a ring! 😊
Foreign Body Friday! 🐴 Check out this piece of tree stump that was removed from a ponies hoof last week at the clinic! 🪵 Poor Rainbow found herself in a spot of bother after an altercation with a tree root, and her owner brought her in to investigate the lameness. After some sedation, Dr Trent completed radiographs to check where the foot had entered the hoof, and if there was any joint involvement. The area was scrubbed clean, and the wood removed from Rainbows hoof capsule. After the foreign body was removed, Rainbow was kept at our clinic for another 3 days to receive bandage changes, medication and antibiotics. Rainbow now home and recovering extremely well. ❤ Thank you to Rainbows owner for letting us share these photos!
Have you ever seen a twin pregnancy in a horse? 🐴🐴 This video was taken at a 14 day mare scan, where Dr Trent diagnosed a twin pregnancy. Mares must have 14 day and 30 day scans after insemination, and one of the reasons why these scans are so imperative is that they ensure the mare has only a single pregnancy. Mares that are allowed to carry twin pregnancies are likely to suffer complications as a result. They frequently abort twins or if they give birth to live twins the mares are more likely to suffer foaling difficulties and or retained foetal membranes. Twin foals suffer a higher rate of stillbirth, and those born alive are usually smaller, weaker, and more susceptible to infection with slower development than singleton foals. Due to these factors, standard practice is to identify twins by ultrasound. Following identification, the Veterinarian then manually ablates one embryo by rectal palpation and manipulation during the mobility phase of the pregnancy (up to 16 days). This procedure has a high success rate but occasionally can result in the loss of both embryos. The mare in the video has had her second embryo ablated, and is now continuing with her single and healthy embryo!
Draining a new juicy abscess on the back of a foals hamstrings.
Recovery never looked so good! Check out Lexi and her BFF ‘Tia’ playing at the beach, north of Perth. Lexi's owners shared this video with us, along with their thank you ❤️ "Hi Team. Just wanted to thank you all for your efforts with Lexi at the 11th hour. We have made our move to a small coastal town North of Perth. As you can see, shes made a full recovery and enjoys daily runs in the sea along with Tia our staffy cross." We are so glad we could care for Lexi, and reminds us why we do what we do 🐶
Wrapping up the 22' breeding season with Maartines 45 day pregnancy scan! 🐴 This is Maartines final scan, and we are so happy to see the foetus is healthy and developing well. 🐎 Mares are scanned three times after live cover or insemination, and are recommended at specific dates in the foetus' development. The first ultrasound examination should take place at 14-15 days after insemination or cover. At this stage the embryonic vesicle is mobile in the uterus, and the ideal time to identify the presence of twin pregnancies. The second ultrasound takes place at approximately 28 days. The embryo can usually be identified at this stage, and the conceptus should be implanted properly into the uterus. This ultrasound also checks that the embryo is developing. The third and final ultrasound examination is recommended at approx 45 days of pregnancy. This scan is often referred to as the ‘heartbeat’ scan, as the heartbeat of the embryo can be seen on ultrasound. The breeding season for 2023 will commence 1st August, and if you're thinking of breeding your mare this year please don't hesitate to reach out to see how MBEV can help you!
How cute are these puppies cries! Not impressed after rudely being evicted from their comfy home so late in the afternoon 😂
Cute puppies that we delivered today via elective Caesarian. 7 happy and healthy pups.
Watch us burst an abscess 👀 Our patient Ozzie started presenting with a small to average size lump near his poll about 8 weeks ago, and since then the lump has continued to grow in size. After some sedation, local anaesthetic and preparing the area, Dr Trent lanced the abscess with a scalpel and allowed the contents to drain. Ozzie is now on the mend at home, after being given antibiotics and pain management medication to aid him in his recovery ❤️🩹 🐴 You may be wondering what causes an abscess like this? Abscesses can sometimes appear to come from nowhere, but can often occur due to: -Breaks in the skin ie bites or scratches -Puncture wounds from foreign objects -A damaged or decayed tooth -Blood infections -Sinus or ear infections Thank you to Ozzie’s mum for letting us share this video! And remember our friendly team are always here to help, should you have any questions (or perhaps one of your animals has a strange lump too 🤔)
Ever seen a worm under a microscope? 🐛 This little wriggler was present during a FET (Faecal Egg Test) done last week by the team here at MBEV for a Horse struggling with weight gain. FET or Faecal Egg tests are completed using some of your horses faeces, and shows us their worm status. This test takes only 20 minutes and can be done right here at the clinic. FE testing is proven to help ensure adequate worming regimes, and assists in avoiding over worming your horses. Horses with worms can present with many and varied symptoms including: - Weight loss - Dull coat - Loss of appetite - Tail Rubbing (caused by pin worms) - Colic Even if your horse is in good condition and not suffering from any of the above, consider having a FET done to ensure you are on the right track with your worming! If you have any questions at all, our friendly team are here to assist!
An interesting case that presented to the clinic yesterday.
