This little cutie was seen nibbling on rat bait. We induced vomiting which explains the super sad face and ears held back. There are a few types of rat bait but most commonly are anticoagulants. This type of anticoagulant has an antidote of Vitamin K. It is always best to induce vomiting if your animal is seen to have eaten bait, however if you have not seen ingestion other symptoms you may see include, excessive bleeding, blood in urine or dark urine, cough, increased respiration, lethargy and or pale mucus membranes. These symptoms usually occur a few days after ingestion. Make sure if using rat baits that bait stations are used or are secured in areas that your animals can't access. Keeping in mind if they are not secure baits can be moved around by rats. Second pic is just to show how cute she is. 😍

A nice removal of a melanoma we did recently. This steer had a pretty big one on his side, which was surgically removed. The colour of these tumours when cut in half is always so impressive! Melanomas come from skin cells called melanocytes which produce melanin, a dark pigment.

A very sad day for us all here at the clinic! It was our wonderful Julies last day 😔.
Julie has worked at the clinic for 17 years, starting in 2008! She has been a fantastic nurse, receptionist, support and friend over the years, not just to us, but to our clients and patients. Her devotion, care and great sense of humour will certainly be missed! We wish her the very best ❤.

We, like many businesses in Walcha, were absolutely spoilt with our morning tea from the Walcha Tennis Club Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea! Jenny is our fabulous relief nurse at the clinic here and is instrumental in the tea's organization. If anyone would like to make a donation to the very worthy cause, we have included the QR code here! 🌼🌼
