Patient of the week!

This week our patient of the week is Meg! She is a golden retriever (with a little bit of border collie) who came to see us this week to be desexed.
She was not only brave and pretty unbothered about her day at the vets, but she woke up with her tail wagging and cuddles for everyone 💕❤

Desexing is so important for the wellbeing and safety of our pets, preventing health issues, behavioural issues and reduces unplanned breeding.

To chat to us about desexing, give us a call on 03 929 0987.

Patient of the week!

Our patient for the last two weeks is Socks!! This lovable wee girl was brought to us after being hit by a car. Her tail was broken and due to the large number of nerves being stretched at this location, we were worried she may not be able to regain urination and defecation function. We amputated the tail at the fracture site to keep its weight from stretching these very important nerves. Socks stayed with us for a couple of weeks, and thankfully with some great medical management and nursing care, she has returned to her owner a functional cat!
Socks’ episode hasn't stopped her being incredibly loveable!! She has been enjoying many pats from anyone that will give them!

Patient of the week!

Last week this beautiful feline, Umbra, came in to see us as her owners were a bit concerned with her breathing. Upon further investigation we found she had a diaphragmatic hernia (a tear in her diaphragm) that was allowing all of her abdominal organs to make home in her chest!
Our wonderful surgeon, Christina, was able to repair the hernia and move the organs into their correct places.

With some extra TLC provided by our friends at the Afterhours Veterinary clinic, Umbra has gone home with her humans for the weekend and we will be keeping a close eye on Umbra as she recovers.

Patient of the Week!

Meet Ziggy!
This sweet cat came in for a visit to Wigram Vets this week and the owner was convinced their furry friend was a girl. After a quick check, we discovered this cutie is actually a boy! We admitted him on the same day for his neuter and he is doing great!

Neutering your cat is so important, it helps prevent health issues, reduces unwanted behaviours like spraying, and keeps our pet population in check.

If you would like to book your cat's neuter, give us a call on 03 929 0987.
