🐶 ⚠️Bone safety for dog owners 🦴🥩

This week we had a visit from a furry friend who got a hollow beef bone stuck around her bottom jaw. The bone was so tightly wedged that the only way we could safely remove it was to saw it off!

We all know that dogs love to chew on bones and this type of injury is more common than many people realise. To keep your pets safe, please have a read of the information below.

⚠️ Bones can cause serious health problems including broken teeth, choking, obstructions in the digestive system, constipation, and even bacterial infections.

If you are going to give your dog bones, we suggest:
✔️NEVER give cooked bones, always raw!
✔️Avoid hollow or brittle bones (like chicken)
✔️Always supervise
✔Choose appropriate-sized bones to avoid choking
✔Kangaroo bones are generally the safest option

If you’re unsure what’s safe for your dog, our team is always happy to help! Give us a ring 📞 (07) 4663 4164

As we see the end of 2025 we have an important goodbye to share.

Our fabulous nurse, Abbie, has had a relocation to Toowoomba and sadly (for us) will be nursing for a lucky clinic closer to home.

She has cared for many of your animals with professionalism, skill and her whole heart as if they were her own. We will miss her lots and are sure many of you will too.

Thankyou Abbie 🌸

⚠️ Paralysis Tick Warning ⚠️

Please be aware ‼️ Paralysis ticks have been confirmed in this area.

There have been a huge number of confirmed paralysis ticks found on cattle, horses, dogs and cats.

Know the signs and please call the clinic to chat to our team if you find a paralysis tick on your pet, as signs can begin to show hours AFTER the tick has been removed.

It only takes 1 tick in a dog/cat or calf to cause life threatening paralysis.
In Horses, paralysis is more common in smaller animals (foals, ponies, weanlings) but larger horses can be affected too when there is a large burden.

Paralysis Ticks are active NOW and using prevention is so important to protect our animals.

We have numerous options for prevention at the clinic including monthly/ three monthly chews, 6 monthly spot ons and tick collars that last 8 months.

Signs:
- vomiting / gagging
- change in bark/ meow
- wobbliness or paralysis starting in the back legs
- difficulty breathing
- off their food

⭐️ Hendra Heros ⭐️

We’re excited to announce, that for the month of October, we’re teaming up with Zoetis to bring you a special limited time offer on Hendra Vaccinations.

If you have horse/horses that have not been vaccinated, but you’re looking to start or perhaps you might have horses that missed their vaccination and are no longer covered, so they require a 2 shot restart, you can now get their second dose for free!!

To take advantage of this special all you need to do is book our vets to give the first dose during the month of October and we will give them the second booster free of charge.

To find out more information and book your vaccinations please call the clinic on (07) 4663 4164.
This is definitley a special you don’t want to miss!

A HUGE congratulations to our very own Dr. Sam for passing her memberships In Veterinary Practice (Equine).

'Membership of the College is an official recognition of a veterinarian's knowledge and experience in a designated field of veterinary science. Membership is an indication to the profession and the general public of an advanced practitioner, representing a middle-tier of knowledge, competence and experience in a specific area of veterinary practice.'

We could not be prouder of her for all her hard work and dedication. Juggling all that she does for everyone and still finding time to study is not an easy feat.

We did have to ambush her for this photo as she refused, but we are too excited & proud not to share.

🐐 Disbudding goats 🐐

These kids visited the clinic to get their horn buds removed.

Dr. Sophie, with the help of Karlie and Sophie to prepare and monitor, removed all these kids horn buds . The procedure is done under sedation with electric cautery.

All kids were given a long acting pain relief and recovered well on the grass in the sun.

Removing the horn reduces the risk of injury to people and other animals. The best time to dehorn kids is at two weeks old.

If you would like to find out more information please contact the clinic!
