🐴💚 Happy Vet Nurse Day! 💚🐴

Today, we celebrate the backbone of our hospital — our vet nurses!
Whether they’re trotting up a lameness, assisting in surgeries, monitoring foals through the night, or calming a nervous horse with a quiet word and a steady hand — their skill, dedication, and compassion never go unnoticed.

Working with horses requires strength, patience, and a deep understanding of these incredible animals — and our vet nurses bring all that and more to the barn every single day.

To our amazing team:
👏 Thank you for the long hours, the mental strength, the midnight checks, and the countless moments you go above and beyond for our equine patients.
You are true horse people and true heroes.

Drop a comment or photo below to help us show some love to these legends! 🐎💉🩺

This dog was found wandering the VCC grounds this morning.

She has a bit of bailing twine tied to a blue collar, no tag, no microchip and very friendly.

If you are looking for her, she has been taken to the Glenfield Park dog shelter.

Congratulations Archie 🤩
Archie spent 6 months in Australia at the VCC in 2024 where he immersed himself in all things anaesthesia under the guidance of our registered specialist in anaesthesia, Dr Chris Quinn.
Archie is definitely a passionate veterinarian and this award is very well deserved.

Congratulations to Archie Moffat, the winner of our brand new One to Watch Award.

The award was introduced this year, to celebrate early-career equine veterinary professionals who are making waves, whether through their clinical skills, passion for equine welfare, leadership, or just being a legend in the field.

“Our One to Watch winner Archie shines as a truly inspiring clinician,” said Kate Blakeman, who was on the judging panel. “Combining clinical skill with boundless enthusiasm and outstanding communication, Archie seems to build trust effortlessly, translating complex research into practical guidance for clients and colleagues alike."

Breeding season is here and we've got some new faces to introduce in our theriogenology team. We'll start with a not new, but returning and familiar face to many, Allan Gunn.

Allan is a specialist Theriogenologist who has worked in the UK, Zimbabwe, Beijing and in Australia including WA, the ACT, the Hunter valley and now the Riverina. He has returned to the CSU VCC animal reproduction unit, and looks forward to meeting up with you and your horses for this breeding season. We have an exciting new team with the addition of American specialist Alex Wittorff and clinicians Lucy Ford and Hannah-Olivia Foster. Liz Furniss and Tahnee Olsson are the backbone technicians to ensure we all end up with the best result we can for this breeding season.

Update: Owner found 😊
This older lady was found this morning on Cambourne Lane, a few km’s from the VCC. She isn’t microchipped so we are keen to get the word out to find her owner.

Foaling season is nearly upon us so it's time to get prepared. Pre-foaling scans, foaling kits at the ready and a reminder that if everything doesn't go to plan, the VCC is here to help.
Great to see one of our 'graduates' from a few years ago doing so well now 🤩
