Today is Nicole's last official day as a Full Time Vet Nurse.

Nic is delving into Human Nursing. We are going to miss her hard work, and her antics!!
She will still be doing some casual shifts with us now and then, so you'll probably still see her face in the clinic.

We wish Nic all the very best for her future in Nursing. She has been with our clinic a very long time, over 14 years!!

Remember Nic, it's frowned upon to put humans in muzzles, and the thermometer is put in a different location 😉

We will miss you 🥰

PET EMERGENCIES & FIRST AID... Watch for our helpful hints, so you know what to do in these situations.

Social_10% off_Inflamed Gums_video

Your pet needs annual dental check-ups just like you. Inflamed and bleeding gums can be painful and can bleed if left unattended. This can cause pain and difficulty eating for your pet. Save on pet dental treatments when you book before 31 August 2023. https://yeppoonvetsurgery.com.au/dental-offer-2023

Social_10% off_Facial Swelling_video

Your pet needs annual dental check-ups just like you. Facial swelling can indicate dental issues that could be causing pain for your pet. Save on pet dental treatments when you book before 31 August 2023. https://yeppoonvetsurgery.com.au/dental-offer-2023

Social-FreeAss_Smelly Breath_video

Contrary to popular belief, smelly breath isn't normal in pets and could be a sign of gingivitis. Annual dental check-ups can help free your pet from a future of dental issues. Contact us to unleash good dental hygiene today with a FREE dental assessment. https://yeppoonvetsurgery.com.au/dental-offer-2023

Senior-Social-Video-Arthritis-Cat

As we cats approach middle age (7+) we can slow down a bit and run a little less. We need your help in getting us checked for many age-related illnesses like Osteoarthritis. Book a Seniors Pet Health Check-Up today. https://yeppoonvetsurgery.com.au/senior-check-ups

Senior-Social-Video-Lumps-Bumps

When you’re giving us a good old belly rub, you may notice some lumps and bumps under our skin. That’s a good time to Book in for a Seniors Pet Health Check-Up because early detection helps. (But finish the belly rub first please). https://yeppoonvetsurgery.com.au/senior-check-ups

Springtime means grass seed season, and for something so tiny, they can cause a lot of big problems for your pet! The issues they can cause range from minor discomfort right through to potentially life-threatening conditions. If you cannot remove a grass seed from your pet’s coat (with your fingers, tweezers or scissors), give us a call to organise removal.

It's important to continue exercising your pet in Winter, as well as keeping them mentally stimulated. Being cooped up inside can encourage destructive and negative behaviours. Walks, runs, catching up with friends and play sessions in the park are perfect ways to keep your pet active. Here are a few tips for you. 👇

Happy International Cat Day! Share below a pic of your cat in his favorite spot in the house 😺 🐈 #InternationalCatDay

Assistance Dog Day is part of the International Assistance Dog Week. The objective is to recognise and value the hard work of assistance dogs. These specially trained dogs provide essential help to so many people in our community. IADW have great resources, to help teach us more about Assistance dogs. #AssistanceDogDay https://www.assistancedogweek.org/

Today is Pet fire safety Day! We've put together some things to think about in order to keep your pet safe from danger. 🚒

Sometimes when a pet is in pain, you may see subtle changes in their behaviour. Any changes in behaviour can be a sign of pain or other health issues and we recommend taking your furry family to see one of our veterinary team.

For our older pets, it is important that they are kept warm and comfortable during the cooler months. If you notice them struggling to move, it could be age-related diseases such as arthritis. If you are wanting more information on ways to keep your pet warm or have a senior pet that you would like to discuss, contact us today.

There is plenty of evidence to support that cuddling your cat is beneficial for your health. Make sure you hug your feline today. If your cat isn't into hugs - perhaps a high 5 or a pat! #HugYourCatDay 😻
