There is a truck and traffic control blocking the front of our building and footpath. When we just asked how long they would be there they informed us probably 2 days! The traffic control person suggested people park at BP, however there is some parking space in front of The Lands Council. Sorry for for the inconvenience all.

It has been great to see so many farmers in the district improving their equipment and facilities in the last few years, it often makes jobs quicker, easier & more comfortable for all involved. There are still some that can't see any issue with unsafe facilities, or untrained staff when we bring this up. If your vet, stock and station agent, or other service provider tell you your facilities needs to be improved, it is for everyone's safety and efficiency. This is made clear in the attached post by Dorrigo vets where they luckily were only injured and not killed! Everyone is entitled to refuse to work in conditions they feel are unsafe.

It was fantastic weather today to get out of the office and watch Lake Cargelligo vs West Wyalong Girral for sponsors day. Congratulations to the Tigers on the win!

Veterinary students do a range of different placements during their degree to help develop their skills and knowledge. Phoebe is studying at Sydney University and got to be involved in 2 cattle caesareans whilst on placement with us over the summer. Having practiced her surgical skills in the clinic earlier that week on smaller animals, she did a great job suturing this girl up

Ovine brucellosis is a reproductive disease that can cause infertility, leading to reduced lambing percentages.

We regularly visit studs to keep their Brucellosis accreditation up to date. If you have had a poor scanning or lambing rate, it might be worth talking to the clinic about checking your rams.

27/05/2024

Did you know we are always learning and developing our skills? Last weekend Sarah spent 2 days with other vets and nurses learning more about equine biomechanics and rehabilitation. Thanks to South West Slopes Veterinary Services for hosting the event & Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics for sharing your knowledge with us.

We have seen several Parvo Virus cases lately, particularly from the Lake Cargelligo area. Vaccination is far cheaper than trying to treat, and survival is not guaranteed.

Majority of the time, a dog is able to deliver her puppies at home with little to no help needed. Unfortunately however, sometimes complications do arise and assistance is required, which may result in a caesarian section.

Things to look for to determine if your pet needs help are:
- Pushing for extended periods of time
- Extreme fatigue
- Extreme vomiting
- Excess bloody discharge
- 4 or more hours since the last puppy was born (if there are more still to come).

These babies were delivered via c- section lastnight. Mum and her pups are now home, healthy and happy due to their owners vigilance.

For any enquiries, or to book an appointment, please call the clinic on: 69722863

📣DID YOU KNOW 📣
Corn cobs and cooked bones can cause serious intestinal blockages in your dog.

Corn cobs and cooked bones do not digest in a dogs stomach, which can result in a blockage or perforation. Unfortunately most dogs that ingest a corn cob require surgery to have them removed.

Poor appetite, diarrhoea, constipation, lethargy and abdominal tenderness or pain, are signs that your dog may have an intestinal blockage such as from a corn cob🌽

For any questions or to make an appointment, please call the clinic on 69722863 🐕

Remember to vaccinate your loved ones against preventable diseases!

With Spring there have been an increased number of Canine Parvovirus cases across the region. Parvovirus is highly contagious and has a poor chance of survival if left untreated. Annual vaccinations are around $100, and treatment for parvo into the thousands.

If you plan on going to boarding kennels or are taking your pet travelling this Summer now is a good time to check they are up to date with their annual vaccinations.

1. You’re inviting them to your house for dinner, the movies, your wedding or other social get together
2. You normally see them socially or as part of a local club, church or interest group & want to talk to them about non-work related matters

Not appropriate reasons to contact our staff personally (by no means an exclusive list)

2. You want to ask about your animals condition & get advice
3. You want to know the price of a product or procedure
4. You want to order medications or products
5. You want to know who is on call tonight – Just call the clinic & you will get the number for that day

It is not a secret

If in doubt, ask yourself ‘Would I phone the personal mobile number of my doctor/the dentist/person behind the counter at the coffee shop to ask the same thing?’ If in doubt, just contact the clinic number.
