Dog bites crush and tear the skin by design, so even small bites can be much bigger and more damaging than they first appear, and can get infected fast ⚠️.

Early cleaning and antibiotics reduce the risk of abscesses and complications 🩹. Don’t wait; fast treatment leads to faster healing 🐕.

🚑 See us promptly if your dog’s been bitten.

A Christmas miracle ❤️💚

During spring and summer, we see a lot of wildlife coming in and out of our hospital. Recently we had the pleasure of beginning the rehabilitation process for a freshly-weaned sugar glider!

This little guy came in essentially on deaths door, weighing in at 49g and barely having the energy to grip onto our fingers. After just 6 hours of frequent feeding and close monitoring, our friend sprung to life! Each hour he became more and more alert, and had branched out from milk replacement and honey water to bottlebrush and sweet potato.

The team became very attached to him, and after 48 hours we finally received the bitter-sweet phone call from Wildlife Victoria that they had found a carer to continue his rehabilitation before his release back into the wild. Plenty of cuddles were given before he exited the building, and although we knew we were going to miss him greatly we also knew it was his time to move on and be one step closer to the outside world.

We hope you’re thriving, Mr. sugar glider! 🩷

Cats love to play with string, tinsel and thread, but if swallowed these can cause dangerous intestinal blockages 🎀. Signs include vomiting, reduced appetite, pain or hiding.

Never pull a string from your cat’s mouth, as it can cause internal injury 😿. If you suspect your cat has swallowed string, contact us immediately for advice 🐾.

It’s that time of the year! 🎄

Yesterday the team put up their feet to wind down after a busy year. We all brought a plate - and some were Veterinary themed! Including Urinalysis Pineapple Juice and ‘Latte’s Emesis’ - featuring a photo of Dr Gemma’s Cavoodle seconds after an impressive vomit caused by a pup-cup 🐶🐾

Hot spots are red, oozing skin infections that appear rapidly, especially in humid summer weather ☀️.

Some dogs are more prone to hot spots than others. They’re often triggered by scratching, fleas, allergic skin disease or moisture trapped under coats.

Clip the fur, keep the area dry and see your vet for treatment to stop the itch-scratch cycle and prevent a deeper infection 🐕. Regular grooming and parasite prevention can help prevent flare-ups.

💚 Consult us for more advice on managing skin irritations in your pet.

Vomiting or diarrhoea in dogs can be caused by eating fatty foods, scavenging rubbish, sudden diet changes, parasites, infections, inflammatory bowel disease or blockages 🐶.

Most mild cases resolve quickly, but ongoing symptoms or lethargy may need veterinary care. Always introduce new foods slowly and seek help if you notice any unusual symptoms or your dog appears uncomfortable 💩.

💬 Book a check-up if your dog seems unwell.
