With Wednesday night being wet and windy, we had some extra wildlife yesterday requiring veterinary assistance.

Thankfully Dr Melissa was ready for the job although Betty the ringtail baby decided to help, grabbing hold of the stethoscope during her check up. 😍

Enjoy celebrating with your children, whatever their breed. They appreciate every hug, every treat and every “good boy”.

Positioning a bearded dragon for ultrasound is very different than a dog or cat. Dr Sarah and Nurse Rhi went to great measures to get the right view of Lylah’s abdomen. 🦎🐍

Introducing Our Team...

Have you met Katrine?

Katrine has been part of our Austinmer customer care team since Jan 2024.

Katrine was looking for a career change after 10 years of floristry. She loves animals and working in a team environment, so this is the perfect place to be.

Katrine’s favourite part of the job is giving cuddles and treats, to the animals, getting the opportunity to see wildlife up close and learning something new every day.

When not at work Katrine loves spending time with her family including her Golden Retriever, cooking and travelling.

Teeth are a bit like icebergs—what you see above the gum line is only a small part of the whole tooth. Most of the tooth, including the roots, lies hidden beneath the gums. This is where serious problems like infection, bone loss, and root damage occur which can be invisible to the naked eye. This is why dental X-rays are so important for spotting hidden issues.

Our vets routinely take dental X-rays with every scale and polish to make sure we don’t miss any hidden issues.

Some of the cases we have had recently include:

A patient with seemingly mild plaque build up and needed a clean. X-rays were taken and showed one of the roots of a tooth had completely resorbed which was potentially causing a lot of discomfort.

Another patient came in with calculus build up, bleeding gums (gingivitis) and bad breath. After the clean, the teeth looked mostly healthy, but X-rays showed one of the tooth roots had completely resorbed and two others were also severely diseased, resulting in extractions of those teeth.

Dental pain can be hidden and hard to spot.
If you are concerned please book a FREE nurse dental check at either our Helensburgh or Austinmer Hospitals. 🦷 🐈 🐶
