$Izzy's here to break the stigma around tripods!! For many owners, the idea of their pet needing a leg amputation is terrifying and confronting. However, our team wants to assure you all that pets are so resilient and adaptable, and for many they re-adjust to their new tripod life in a matter of days! There are so many reasons a limb amputation may be suggested for your pet, and although it is a very serious surgery, we do them quite often and our patients almost always have a very positive outcome. In Izzy's case, her leg required amputation due to an old injury when she was hit by a car and fractured her pelvis, this unfortunately caused ongoing issues with her leg and was uncomfortable for her. With her painful leg now removed, Izzy will be able to enjoy her pain-free future, having already started to adjust to her new way of life just days after her surgery. Although it can be scary when our pets face major surgical procedures, our team is here to educate and support you through these situations, with the best outcome for your beloved pet always in mind! We offer complimentary second opinions for anyone who may want to have a further conversation and get more information about any treatment suggested for their pets! Just call 4151 3550 for more information.$

Bonnie & Clide are living up to their namesake creating mischief and giving their mum a big fright when they decided to snack on ALOT of rat bait!

Thankfully their mum caught them in the act and they were brought in for our team to induce vomiting and remove as much of the toxin as possible.

We then got them back in a few days later to ensure their blood was clotting correctly, as one of the symptoms of toxicity from rat bait is an inability for blood to clot, leading to bleeding disorders.

Thankfully for Bonnie her clotting test was normal, but Clide's was sadly not.

His blood was taking longer than normal to clot properly, so we started him on a course of medication to hopefully correct this.

They should both make full recoveries in the coming weeks once medication is finished.

It's essential you bring your pet in ASAP if you fear they have ingested any toxin, as the sooner we act the more favourable the outcome for your pet.

Oddy is giving us all the Sunday morning sleep in vibes 😴

The only thing that would make a Sunday morning better would be having this adorable 8 week old Maremma puppy snuggled up in bed with us too!

Dr Marianne was lucky enough to get her share of cuddles during the week when this little cuties came in for his first vaccinations, as you can see it was really exhausting work for him.

We can't wait to see him again in 4 weeks time for his next vaccinations and see how much he has grown!

If you have a new puppy or kitten in your life, you can bring them in this January for a FREE health check valued at $99.00, simply register below or call 4151 3550!

We've been seeing a lot more of our little rodent friends in hospital lately, including "smouse" the 1 year old Rat!

Smouse's mum had noticed a funny smell coming from his ear, so thought it best to get him checked out.

Lucky she did, as he is suffering from an ear infection!

This infection requires medication to resolve, and if let untreated it could progress and causes serious damage.

Thankfully as it was caught early on, with a few weeks of ear drops, he should be feeling back to himself with no long-term effects.

Our talented team are here to help ensure all your pets are happy and healthy, including the more exotic ones such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and birds.

You can book an exotic health check any day of the week, using our online booking system: https://olsau.appointmaster.com/#?AID=d8brod359GatO5TEtF79A8EEL&cl=1

Beautiful Bonnie is such a happy girl 😁

She is a 6 month old Shih Tzu x Maltese and she spent the day with us yesterday to have her desexing surgery!

Bonnie was so very brave for her surgery, and was more interested in getting cuddles from the team then she was worrying about her procedure.

Patient safety and comfort is our top priority, and we go above and beyond to give each pet the most stress-free experience when they have to stay with us for a surgical procedure, with lots of cuddles and attention.

Who better to provide veterinary care to your beloved pet then a team of animal-obsessed staff who treat each patient like their own fur baby 🥰

As we approach new years eve celebrations, it's important to remember our pets are not such big fans of fireworks!!

We have a few tips and tricks to help keep your dog calm and safe during fireworks:

🎆 Walk your dog during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off

🎆 Move your dog to a safe haven before the fireworks begin, and provide toys and other things that they enjoy

🎆 Make sure the area they are in is secure and if you can, avoid leaving your dog alone

🎆 Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks and blackout your doggy safe haven so they can't see any flashes outside

🎆 Put on some music or TV to mask the firework sounds

🎆 Ignore the firework noises yourself, play with a toy to see if your dog wants to join in, but don't force them to play

It is also important to have an ID tag on your dog and for them to be microchipped and have their details up to date in case they do happen to escape during a fireworks scare, so they can be safely reunited with you.

$We recently treated an unusual patient in our hospital, a little male Echidna! Sadly this little fellow was brought in by a wildlife carer who had found him not looking too bright, with some blood nearby. Dr Baden and nurse Beth placed the Echidna under a general anaesthetic so they could examine him and take some x-rays to try and find out what may be wrong. The x-rays revealed a fracture to his beak, meaning he would be having trouble eating and drinking normally. We contacted our friends at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, who advised they could offer specialist care to our echidna friend while he recovers from his fractured beak!$

A sweet story to share for Christmas eve 🥰

Little Kylo was handed into our hospital as a little stray dumped kitten who weighed only 300g a few weeks ago!

When no owner came forward, our client care representative Kate decided she would take Kylo in and provide him with a loving home.

Kylo had one of the worst flea burdens we had ever seen, he was severally underweight and unwell.

He initially went home with another experienced staff member of ours to be medicated and cared for through his battle with a nasty virus. During this time many of our team assisted in Kylo's journey to recovery.

We were so excited to see him back yesterday looking so healthy, weighing in at over 1.1kgs and given the ok to have his first vaccination!!

As you can see his new mum Katie is totally smitten with this brave little kitten, and it was truly a team effort to get him to this stage.

Our team truly are animal lovers and this is just one example of them going above and beyond to care for a pet in need.

It was like Christmas came early when little Kev the puppy visited us this week for his first health check and vaccination!

This chunky little monkey won over all our hearts, and we're so jealous of whoever gets to adopt this gorgeous buy from Happy Tails Animal Rescue Inc. when he is ready to find his new home.
