We had the very sweet girl Koa in for a dental procedure 🦷
Upon looking at her x-rays and probing her teeth when under anaesthesia, we were able to tell that no teeth had to come out, so Koa required was a scale and polish this day.
Take a look at dr Jess scaling Koa’s teeth and taking her dental X-rays.
It’s always so satisfying to look at the before and after of a dental, take a look at her pearly whites! 🦷✨

Check out some of the wildlife that have come through the clinic! 💚
When wildlife animals are brought into the clinic we provide initial care and diagnostics, we then find suitable care to help these animals be rehabilitated and released back into their natural habitats!

🎆🎇 With the New Year right around the corner, there also comes a rise in the use of fireworks. At this time of year 🎆🎇
Unfortunately, these loud noises can cause quite some stress for our pets.
Here's some advice to help your pets calm, safe, and relaxed during this holiday period:

When stressed, many animals will look for any way to get away from these sounds - therefore try to escape! It is important to ensure your pet's ID/microchip info is up to date to ensure that your pet has a speedy return home in the result that they escape. We would also recommend (where possible), keeping your pets inside - where you can ensure they have safe spaces to hide and keep them distracted - an idea could be to use some treat enrichment mats or even play with toys! Another thing to ensure is that any sort of door/cat flap is kept locked to ensure there is less risk for your pet to get out.

We hope you are all having a safe and enjoyable holiday period, and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year! 🐶🐱💚

☀️⚠️ Summer care ☀️⚠️
As the weather begins heating up for summer and as we spend more time outside, it is important to remember that our furry friends can become at risk of heat stress and heat stroke.

There are things that we can do to ensure our pets are kept cooled and calm during these hotter days:
- Always have access to fresh cool water. 💧
- Ensure your pet has cover from the sun in a cool well-ventilated area ☀️
- Changing exercise routines and checking the ground temperature before taking your pet out for a walk. 🐕
- Know the signs of heat stress/heat stroke. ⚠️

unfortunately, some of our pets are at more risk of heat stroke - take a look at some of the conditions that are more predisposed.

It is always better to be prepared and do what you can to help keep your pets cool in the warmer months! 🐶🐱

Patient of the week 📸
This week we had a cute little wombat come in after being picked up by one of our nurses.
When native wildlife animals are brought into the clinic, we do a thorough examination and assess if any treatment is required. For our little friend, we found that he required some IV fluid therapy due to being dehydrated. We also found that he had a bit of swelling around his mouth, so to rule out anything we also took some X-rays!
We were in touch with a carer who picked him up and he is now doing well under their care! He was such a cutie 💚💚

⚠️🐍With the weather now warming up - snakes are becoming more active and as a result, our pets can be at risk of a life-threatening snake bite. 🐍⚠️
Snake bites or suspected snake bites in Australia should be treated as life-threatening.
If you notice your pet has been bitten by a snake or even if they were potentially bitten, you should immediately take them to your closest vet clinic to get them checked out!
Being considered an emergency, it is important that you do not try to catch, take a photo, or take too much time trying to identify the snake - it is not worth the time for your pet.

⚠️ Cute Puppy Alert! ⚠️
This week we had the cute girl Chilli with us for the day
Chilli presented to us for being non-weight bearing on her hind leg. After taking some X-rays, we found that she had a fracture in her knee. She has since had surgery and she is back at home recovering being such a good girl! 💚
As you can see - Chilli required tummy rubs at all times and was the sweetest girl ever!! 💚
