👉 Dolcie with a gum nut 👈
Meet Dolcie ❤, a 1 year old cat that was very unwell. Her primary vet suspected an intestinal obstruction and referred her to The Austin Urgent Care 🚑.
Further investigations (ultrasound) confirmed something was obstructed in the small intestines 😳. She was quickly started on treatment and rushed to surgery.
During the surgery, a gum nut was found! The gum nut was causing a complete obstruction, and was removed by the skillful hands of our specialist surgeon Dr Eloise 🤩.
Dolcie recovered extremely well and was non stop smooching and winning over all of the nurses and vets 🥰. Dolcie made a full recovery and went home with a watchful owner looking out for gum nuts!

👉 SPENCER WITH FUNGUS IN SPLEEN 👈
Meet gorgeous Spencer! He was referred to our internal medicine department last year to further investigate his anaemia (low red blood cell count) and haemoabdomen (blood in the belly) 😟.
After seeing internal medicine specialist Dr Narelle Brown and specialist radiologist Dr Rob Turner, he was diagnosed with a large mass coming from his spleen. To save his life, surgery was immediately performed by specialist surgeon Dr Fui Yap 🚑.
After further investigation of the mass, Spencer was found to have a rare disease of a disseminated fungal infection called Scedosporium apiospermum 🤯.
After several days in hospital, and several revisits for treatment of the fungal disease, Spencer is doing well and is now feeling better than he ever has! Check out how HAPPY he is 🤩.

👉 KEYHOLE SURGERY 👈
Wow - At The Austin, we recently performed a laparoscopic partial pancreatectomy 🤩. This is a keyhole surgery to remove a mass (insulinoma) from the pancreas 💜🧡!
A keyhole surgery (minimally invasive surgery) has many benefits such as faster recovery time, less scarring due to smaller incisions, less postoperative pain and therefore shorter hospitalisation 🥰 - isn't that AMAZING?!
This technique allowed Dr Kenny to perform a laparoscopic removal of part of the pancreas (partial pancreatectomy), allowing him to to remove the insulinoma and send it to the lab for further diagnosis 🤩.
Dr Kenny is an ACVS Fellow Minimally Invasive Surgery (Small Animal Soft Tissue) who recently visited us at The Austin. This means he has advanced training and experience in minimally invasive surgery. How awesome does he look in these pictures 😄!
At The Austin, our highly skilled and experienced surgeons perform all variety of advanced and specialist surgeries. If you'd like to learn more about the surgical services at The Austin Vet Specialists - get in touch 🧡💜.
