They exist simply to love, and love is what they do best.. 🐾🧡🐾

Our pets are exceptionally special.
They have a natural ability to make us feel at home, to make us feel unconditionally loved—while never asking for anything in return.
We can be ourselves around our pets, wholeheartedly and unapologetically, while receiving the kind of love we all dream about—the kind of love that we don’t always receive from our parents, partners, or friends. This is because pets are far more than just animals. They are our family, our best friends, and sometimes, our soulmates.
Our pets never judge us, offer unsolicited advice, break promises, or let us down.
They exist simply to love, and love is what they do best..

Whilst you maybe enjoying firework season, please let's not forget about our furry friends. Fireworks can be distressing for pets, so it's important to take precautions to keep them safe and calm. Here are some tips for pet safety during firework season:

1. Create a Safe Space
- Designate a quiet area in your home where your pet can retreat. Use familiar blankets and toys to make it comfortable.

2. Keep Pets Indoors
- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent pets from escaping. Consider using curtains or shades to block out the noise and light.

3. Use Calming Aids
- Consider calming products such as anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers, or calming treats. You may contact us for recommendations.

4. Provide Distractions
- Engage your pet with toys, treats, or interactive games to keep their mind off the fireworks.

5. Exercise Before Events
- Take your pet for a long walk or play session earlier in the day to help burn off excess energy.

6. Microchip and ID Tags
- Ensure your pet is microchipped and wearing a collar with an ID tag. This can help reunite you if they escape.

7. Stay Calm
- Your pets can sense your anxiety. Try to remain calm and reassuring during fireworks.

8. Avoid Outdoor Exposure
- Do not take your pet to firework displays. The noise and crowd can be overwhelming and frightening.

9. Consult Your Veterinarian
- If your pet has a history of anxiety or panic during fireworks, discuss options with us in advance.

10. Monitor Behaviour
- Keep an eye on your pet’s behaviour during the firework displays. If they show extreme signs of distress, contact your vet.

By taking these precautions, you can help ensure a safe and stress-free firework season for your pets.

Meet Mishi! 🐕
This lady came in after having a bit too much fun and getting into some trouble. She was brought in due to vomiting with specks of blood, and her owner suspected she might have a bone stuck. We performed x-rays under sedation, which revealed an object lodged in her stomach that needed removal. Mishi underwent an emergency surgery called an exploratory laparotomy.

To everyone’s surprise, she had ingested a rock.

She is now five days post-surgery and is back to her usual bright, energetic self, with her owner needing to remind her that she has just had a big abdominal surgery. 😂 She needs to remain settled for the remainder of her recovery and medication. 💊

Veterinary Nurse Awareness Week 🩺🐕

Today, we want to take a moment to recognise the incredible work of veterinary nurses, assistants, and students.

Your dedication, compassion, and expertise are essential to the well-being of our beloved pets. You are the heart of the veterinary team, providing not just medical care but comfort and support to animals and their owners alike.

Thank you for your long hours, your tireless commitment, and the countless ways you go above and beyond. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for everything you do. You make a difference every day, and our furry friends are lucky to have you in their lives!

Let’s show our appreciation for these unsung heroes!

🐾 Meet Rocky: A True Gentleman! 🐾

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our sweet tuxedo boy, Rocky, is looking for a new fur-ever home.

Rocky is an absolute gentleman—timid yet affectionate—who thrives in a calm and quiet environment. He’s the perfect companion for someone who understands the importance of patience and can give him the time he needs to settle in. Ideally, he would do best in a home without young children.

As an indoor-only cat, Rocky might enjoy the company of another relaxed feline friend, as he loves bonding with other cats.

At just one year old, he is healthy, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations, flea, and worming treatments.

If you’re looking to welcome a gentle soul into your home, Rocky is waiting for you!

Please reach out if you’d like to meet him or learn more. Let’s find Rocky the loving home he truly deserves! 🏡❤️

⚠️ Graphic content warning ⚠️

Meet Lal ❤️ This beautiful girl was in last week for her Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO).

TPLO is a surgical treatment used to stabilse the stifle joint when the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) has ruptured. The CrCL is similar to the ACL in a human knee.

The TPLO procedure consists of rotating the top of the tibia (bone below the knee) and stabilising it in a new position with a bone plate and screws. These changes affect the dynamic movement between the bones of the knee and counter the loss of the CrCL. The TPLO procedure has been proven to have consistent positive outcomes even in large, athletic dogs, and dogs that undergo TPLO are highly likely to be capable of a full and active life.

Lal is doing very well after her surgery with minimal pain, and is all set to start some physiotherapy sessions to get her the best mobility outcome.❤️

We had these two beauties in today, brightening everyone's day! 🌟

Little Mabel was in for her puppy vaccinations, microchipping, and a little nail trim on them puppy claws and had her brother for support and helping with a positive vet experience. She did awesome and definitely stole some hearts 💛

 Vaccinations are an important part of your puppy's ongoing health and help keep your beloved pup protected from life-threatening diseases, but also to prevent passing illnesses on to other dogs. 🐕

12/07/2024

♥️UPDATE: ADOPTED 😻- this little one has been welcomed into a loving home ♥️
Sweet 12 week old male kitten. Unable to be kept by original owners. Has had first vaccination and is microchipped, will need one more vaccination and desexing. If interested please message to obtain owner’s number and more details of the kitten. Thank you 🐾💙

09/07/2024

♥️UPDATE♥️: we are so incredibly grateful for the care and overwhelming response from the public. Thank you to all who offered to help to have a successful outcome. Both Kayli and Cameron are to meet prospective new families tomorrow 🐾♥️THANK YOU♥️
Wondering if there is an opportunity for someone to provide a loving home for this sweet girl “KAYLI” , a female Shi Tzu who is approximately 7 years old and also a home for “CAMERON”, approximately 6 year old, gorgeous male cat.
Unfortunately their owner is very unwell and unable to keep them. Sadly, we only have 5 days in which to rehome them. Hoping someone is able to open their hearts and their home to either of these pets. It would be wonderful. Hoping for a miracle 🐾 Please contact us at Greenlane Veterinary Centre on 09 524 6415
